I'm convinced that a big part of the gender wars is that women, in particular, our mothers teach men very little about the opposite sex and how to be successful with the opposite sex. Women and men train their daughters and give them perspective about dating, relationships, marriage etc. Daughters are cherished, coddled, and protected in regards to these issues. Men however are left to fend for themselves and have to resort to trial and error in this arena. For those who find success, they're able to build and maintain intimate relationships with the opposite sex and are highly sought after. For those who don't find success, they're the losers, the creepy guys, the desperate, and the lonely. Why our women failing our boys and young men in this arena? It seems that women even want superiority here as well.

i do not know what to think about you… i was never coddled. three brothers, and they never spared me. nobody told me how to behave. had to guess.
i would tell guy's to slow down, don't commit until you're at least 30, and be sincere always. also, don't put up with any crap. move on at the first sign of deception.
btw, i would give this same advice to a girl.
