i greatly impress about what i read about this article and i know that it has touch some part of my life.

I thought it was really funny that many of the things in this article pertain directly to me... I totally think he is mad at me when he doesn't say anything or if he walks away from me... and I do follow him around the house like a sad puppy dog asking what I did wrong... so it's good to know it's not just me... and that I can show him this article so he knows that...

Let me tell you, this is totally true! And girls, as hard as it may be, when he asks for space, let him have it. This happened with me and my guy and while I was a little emotionally dumbfounded (I mean, aren't our men supposed to come to us for help?), I gave him some room and lo and behold, we're even better now. Funny thing is, when I gave him what he asked for, all of a sudden he was "chasing" after me non stop. When it comes down to it, the boys love the chase and a strong woman, so if you show him both, he's yours!!! Good luck!

This is such crap. Men and women are not biologically that different. We're not "creatures" we're human beings, capable of being anything we choose to be. It's such a misogynist cop-out to say that women are just more emotional and fragile. I'm a woman and I'm the one who needs space in a relationship. I feel overwhelmed when men get too emotional. Suck it up, women, and stop blaming your hormones. You're ruining it for the rest of us who take responsibility for our actions and work to change when we find ourselves acting unreasonable.

I so totally agree with this. It has played out more than ounce in my life and a lot of times not for the better! If I cannot get the space I need I feel I have to take it, often at the expense of the relationship. I only want to breathe a little more freely and only for a short time. Her coming after me sends me further out on the limb just to get away.....Good job on deciphering this one!

I can totally relate to this one but what if its the woman that need the space. my boyfriend says I always do disappearing acts but I dont think so. its just that before we were a couple I spent a lot of time alone but he thinks that if I wanted to be alone I can just come to his house and go into another room. thats not the same. and he like to complain a lot and start up stuff I dont so when I gather my belongings and just leave without saying a word this bothers him. and yes I must admit that he's a virgo so complaining as and will be apart of his character so I hav to decide if I can deal with it and SO far I can't I have other things to do besides listen at a man wheeze and whine to me becaause listening to him brings my spirit down. Im a thinker so most of my time will probably be dazing off somewhere thinking about a project of some sort. not listening to him complain and I, also an Aquarious. At first I didnt believe in horoscopes but a friend of mine tuned me in and every since Ive been a true believer. not all the time but sometime. I do know enough to know that my boyfriend and I are better off as friends. thats A 100% true statement. Due to the fact that I give or gave way more than I recieved thats not in my character. I now know that out of all this time he will be what he is now and thats a leach. he's not going to change he's better off loking for a mother instead of a significant other. and the craziest thing is that he assures himself all the time that he's a man. but doesnt know how to budget so his bills will be paid. I cant deal with a man like that and when I do something for him he returns the favor by saying I never did anything. Hes a funny character but Im allowing him to be funny by himself

For once, I agree. This is the only good article I've seen about dating. Good job.

What a load

GIVE..ME...A...BREAK! I'm a 55 year old woman, having worked in a non-traditional occupation for 29 years. (post war veterans-male and all the men who came after them were "taught well" by them!) # 7 on your list just SMACKS of what the few women where I work have been told for years. When we speak we're told to keep it to "3 words or less" because the men lose interest if it's more...and then we're told if we have a "talent" or an "expertise" like keyboard prowess for example...we're to keep it to a minimum..don't "display or ability" because the "men aren't comfortable with the fact THEY CAN'T DO IT AS WELL...#7 says our men don't like "TOO MUCH STIMULATION" via the "female dialogue"!!!!! In my opinion this article almost entirely puts the onus on women to ONCE AGAIN...do right by "their man." Hogwash!! This is 2007.....healthy couples enjoy being together...and they enjoy time alone. They respect their partners hobbies, and hopefully support the "live and let live" adage of life. A man or woman who says it's his or her partners job to "make me happy", and to be a one person entertainment committee, most certainly needs to check his/her motives as to what they really and truly want out of a relationship. Insecure and hopelessly codependent individuals vibrate around their partners, waiting to be entertained. It's my hope this next generation of humans, have a solid foundation of equality and celebration of individualism for any of their relationships to thrive on. Men and women are unique genders, but as human animanls we are very much alike.
