I was married to someone who started pulling that shit. I was like wtf?!?! I was out the door. This is kind of my point. (Sorry--acknowledged thread drift.) Men, at 15, want sex and entertainment. We are conditioned (even before 15) to believe that we will have unlimited access to sex once we get married, and that we will be allowed to indulge in entertainment as much as we want (outside of work) once we are adults and can legally make decisions for ourselves. Imagine our surprise when marriage/LTR does not translate to "unlimited access to partner-assisted orgasms." Likewise, women are surprised by the sheer volume of sex men actually want. Quantity over quality. And the fact that men, finding an affordable entertainment delivery system (PS3, sports on TV, whatever else guys do) will indulge in it almost nonstop, like a rat in a Skinner box hitting button for cocaine pellets. If our culture was more honest, this dissonance would not occur. If both men and women understood each other's expectation for partnership, we might be more suited to it (although, to be honest, we are all pretty much inundated by women's expectations --marriage, house, kids-- through all pop culture media, while nobody seems to want to admit what men want). As to intelligence, Jan-- I could do calculus in my head at 15. It was a nimble, grasping brain, soaking up knowledge even by accident. Decades of calcification and effort later, I am happy not to forget where I left my car keys. If you are looking for intelligent men, your local high schools might not be a bad place to start. You may have meant "maturity" or "wisdom." To which, I'd like to show you these men in their 40s and 50s, who have purchased sports cars and 20-something girls, at far greater expense than their value...
