Hello Original Ape
(How did you get THAT name?)
Apologies, I didn't mean to step on your toes. Very thought- provoking topic. I thought you were just getting some free advice from us gurlz. No harm done. I myself tend to be a lil' hard to please. It comes from an assortment of past experiences ranging from bad relationships to the vestiges of abandonement issues due to my parents separation at a very early age.
I must say, since my dad and I rekindled our friendship, I am able to appreciate men as people, not as the mysterious opposite sex that you once were. I have come to realize that men often have the same issues, fears, insecurities as women. But lucky for women, it is socially acceptable for us to cry or show our "emotions" as well as our "feelings", but men are not afforded the same luxury....but I digress, I can go on forever.......
But I will stop here.
