I have to admit, that at times, in the past, I was embarrassed to be a male- race had nothing to do with it though-
I've been divorced a long time, (32 years and counting) and have dated a lot of women whose ex spouses made me ashamed to be the same species, never mind gender- now, granted, there are 2 sides to every story and all I was hearing was one side, but still- I was very picky about who I dated- it made me wonder what those guys had that I didn't that made women be attracted to them in the first place, never mind marrying them, or being involved romantically-
I came to a conclusion that perfection in a mate isn't all that easy to obtain- so, me being who I am, (a philosophical kinda guy), I came up with a couple of ideas; 1), men marry a woman hoping she won't change, she changes- a woman marries a man she sees potential in he doesn't change to meet her expectations and they grow apart- 2), I don't domesticate well, I'm too accommodating-
I don't think whats his face had all that in his tiny mind when he said what he feels- he comes across as a phony to me-
