I agree, but do you not think that currently it is swinging the other way. Its used to be that guys, were supposed to be the Knight in shining armour, sweeping women off their feet, but now if you do that, they'll say 'your taking away my independence' so you give them room and your not 'paying enough attention to them'....
Youcant win...
You're still generalizing too much. My ex girlfriend (and current best friend) was brought up in a household where her father was very strict about manners. She even had to eat chips/fries (use whichever title is common for your country) with a fork!
So she pretty much by nature expects men that she gets romantically involved with to have some bit of chivalry, which I don't think is too much to ask for. Even though we broke up something like eight months ago, I still open doors for her and such. Not really out of habit, even, since we were together for two years; it just seems like the thing to do.
Of course, she was my first serious girlfriend, but I haven't really known any other girls to be too terribly offended by having their door opened for them and such. There was one, but she was certainly the type of girl that you have been describing. I couldn't trust her as far as I could throw her, and thank God that relationship didn't go anywhere.
At any rate.
Its like when they ask you "do i look good in this"
there is NO right response....
Actions speak louder than words--if you help her pick out her outfit, and it turns out that
she likes it, you can bypass the whole question entirely. ;P
Of course, it helps if you have a bit of aesthetic sense. Otherwise...
In either case, honesty is the best policy. If she doesn't look good in whatever it is she's showing off, tell her. It's too easy to lie, but white lies and snow have a lot in common, in that they accumulate (And, well, are white). Be honest, and if she's a penguin about it, that probably means that she's entirely too arrogant, so just punch her in the vagina and call it off. Any decent person, regardless of gender, should appreciate your honesty. If they don't, it's not really worth it, because you can't expect them to be honest either.
It's fairly easy to figure out if a girl will cheat on you or not, just by subtle signs like that. Which is why you should figure out the whole trust thing before you go getting into their pants. Sex, I believe, is a very important part of a good relationship--however, either taking it too seriously, or not seriously enough, can cause big problems. So, regardless of how old you are, you really should put it off as long as possible in a relationship. If you're inquired about it, again, be honest. If they don't understand and want to pressure you (and again, I feel this does not matter with age), then the skank probably isn't worth being with anyway.
I guess i just expect things of people, I ahve never chaeated on anyone, never will, and I do not think it is too much to ask to expect the same of your partner??
Absolutely. Just tell the next woman you get involved with that if she cheats on you, you have full right to disembowel her with a wooden cooking spoon. That should avoid any serious problems.
have to say, though, I've got more friends-that-are-girls than I do guy friends, and I trust the girls a lot more than I do most of the guys I know.
*shrug*
Well, your lucky, but at no ponit in my life would I ever trust a woman over my mates (with the exception of my mother and sisters).
My mates are the ones I expect to tell me that my GF is cheating on me, instead of me finding out and then asking her and her saying " i didnt want to tell you coz i didnt want to upset you"
I mean FFS, what sort of cop out is that??
None of my friends-that-are-girls would do that, though. Let's face it, my female friends are b!tches (damn word filter). They will tell me to my face something like that, Because they know that I deserve and appreciate being told the truth about something like that. None of my male friends really give much of a shit about me to even bother gathering any information like that in the first place.
