Time online covers high rate of marital breakups

Divorce Matt writes "Ever notice how when females break engagements, they are being independent-minded, but when males do it, they are said to fear commitment? At least Time got the fear of divorce right with regard to being among the top reasons for why people are not following through with this most ridiculous of arrangements. I would say any man who studies the stats should make it his top reason. And predictably, this article focuses on women's opinions of the whole thing. Read it here"

What every little girl should be told (hey, there is probably a list for us guys too. That's totally cool. Fair's fair)
a) Treat me like you want to be treated and we can get along.
b) I am not intellectually/emotionally/socially deficient because I don't want "you", maybe if you were emotionally attractive to me I would be attracted.
c) The placement of my reproductive plumbing is not proof my intrinsic evil nor of some perpetual societal debt I owe you.
d) Men are not human wallets or emotional pit stops as you are not a sexual toy to be used at my whim.
e) When dealing with equality at work there is no "Princess Factor". There is only one man who will treat you as a "princess" and you live with him. So when you clamor for your "rights" remember those come with responsibilities and they aint optional depending on your mood, circumstances, a "bad hair day", or because "that's different". Its an ALL TIME thing, not a convenience thing.
f) When you surround yourself with men hating sociopaths that believe that Equal and Fair are unfair, don't be surprised when you are alone. Its not my "lack of maturity", a "Peter Pan syndrome" or my "inability to emotionally connect" that cause you to be lonely. Expressing love and companionship will gain you entrance to my circle of friends. Ripping men apart verbally, legally or economically is not endearing nor conducive to finding a matrimonial soulmate.
g) Women seem to have a computer hard drive of all the wrongs done to them: THE HURT FEELINGS MEMORY BANK(by men or women). Fair enough: we have one too: what a woman says about divorce, child custody, tales of wicked revenge on ex-boyfriends, and other such topics you mention when you date us will have a direct bearing on whether we want to tie our lives to you.
h) We know that men and women are wired differently. Not bad nor good ... just different. In this generation our moms raised us and we really get it. We have more in common than we don't. We're not the enemy. Please don't listen to the hate mongers who want to use you to "revenge" on men for something that happened to them. You're likely to damage a guy who has no idea why. Try to understand us and ask the same. That's fair. Isn't it?

Oh, and concerning marraige: most poems and sonnets were written by men. If you have to ask: "why doesn't someone write one for me?" The answer that SHOULD surface in your mind: "what about your 'wonderfulness' has inspired a man to such heights of romance?"
