Good grief. Another thread making generalizations about men.

1. Men need respect.
Hello? Women need respect, too. How about, PEOPLE need respect?

2. Men are insecure.
Some men are, some men aren't. And the same can be said about women.

3. Men are providers.
Traditionally, yes. But there are some men who don't feel they need to provide. I would say that's a minority. Many women want to hold jobs and be independent, and provide for their families as well.

4. Men want more sex.
I've known men with high sex drives and low sex drives. Guess what? I've known women with high sex drives and low sex drives. I've known and heard of lots of women who want sex more than their men.

5. Men are visual.
I know lots of women who are also visual. I'm one of them, as well as being aural and nasal.

6. Men are unromantic clods.
I know a lot of very romantic men. And there are plenty of women who aren't especially talented in being romantic themselves.

7. Men care about appearance.
Almost everybody cares about appearance. Almost everybody wants their partner to bathe and do some basic grooming.

There are differences between men and women as a whole, but many of the stereotypes aren't true. When you have a partner, find out what your partner wants, rather than relying on a book that makes generalizations. What do men want? What do women want? Ask him or her!
