I do actually think the *majority* of women who get dates easily act like they're 4. Considering we have the worst pedophilia rates of any industrialized nation, I find this disturbing as anything. It paints the average man as a predator. Certainly, women years ago were taught to infantilize themselves: bat the eyelashes, never raise your voice, etc. It's all highly submissive behavior, which raises the question: if men are REALLY dominant, why do we need to act submissive to attract them? Maybe because they're not so dominant after all.

I have a lot of female friends who have very decent husbands or boyfriends who accept them as they are. I have to be careful speculating about what it is in me men can't accept, or they think I'm implying they compromised themselves to score a guy. I don't think that: I just wonder if maybe the good guys are an exception, and you need far better luck than I have to find one. Or maybe spend a lot more time shopping for one, which I can't be bothered to do.
