Personally, I have had about 3-4 relationships in my adult life and there was a LONG period of time between them. So, my comments are not coming from a “where are all the committment-minded men” mindset.
My annoyance with today’s blog post is purely academic.
It’s like when people say “I’ve babysat a lot so I konw what it’s like to have kids” NO YOU DONT. Having kids you are 100% responsible for 100% of the time is what it is like to have kids.
…OR my other favorite: “I want to test marriage by living together” That is not testing marriage…that is testing co-habitation. You want to know what being married is like, get married and then jot down your thoughts/observations and then you’ll know what being married is like.
What’s next… a man dressed up like a woman (in drag) for a day and walked around the city and BAM now he knows what it is like to be a woman. I dont think so.
I cannot stand irrelevant comparisons that are simply a desparate grab to control an outcome… it’s this desparate idea that, “Oh, if he has all these items on my checklist then he must be able to commit to a relationship (even though he never has)”
….And guess what even if he has been in a bunch of long-term relationships doesnt mean he wants one with the woman using this list as her barometer. You want to know how to know if a man will commit to you….when he DOES. Then you’ll know.
