Men with square jaws, larger noses and smaller eyes were classed as significantly more dominant, less faithful, worse parents and as having less warm personalities.

They could tell all that from looking at a picture, huh?

Who is more laid-back in the relationship, you or your S.O.? Laid-back meaning, more accepting of the others' faults, quirks, etc.

I'm much more laid back in general, but the things I feel passionately about, I'll be more intense on those specific subjects. 

Who is the first to initiate an argument, you or your S.O.?

It depends on the situation.  My husband tends to react to little things and will argue over minor details, while I'm more likely to start arguements over larger issues.

Who is the most likely to change their overall behavior throughout the relationship, you or your S.O.?

Boy, I don't know about that one.  We've been together for 16 years.  Both of our behaviour has changed greatly since the beginning of our relationship.  I think I'm more likely to change if he explains that my behavior upsets him, while he's more likely to change on his own.  Does that make any sense?  If I were to tell my husband that I don't like something he does, it's not very likely he'll alter the behaviour, where I might.  That's why I never nag.  I've come to the realization that the only way he'll change is if he decides to do it on his own, and the one sure way I can guarantee him not to change, is to nag him about it.

Who is most likely to exhibit hypocritical behavior in the relationship, you or your S.O.? (Condemn behavior yet exhibit it themselves)

I'd say definitely my husband.  He tends to put me on a bit of a pedestal.  Even though he might exhibit a certain behaviour, he would still be honestly disappointed in me if I exhibited the same behaviour, simply because he would never have imagined me to behave in such a fashion.

No problem.  I actually have it listed on my profile here, but it's www.equalbutdifferent.blogspot.com.  It's still in the early stages, but it's coming along.

seriously; I dont mind paying for dates and I always do in real life....................I just take offense at a woman being arrogant enough to on one hand  be "empowered" and then telling me I have to stick to my traditional role 

Just yesterday I made a post on my blog about this exact topic.  It's too long to go into all the details, but suffice it to say that I agree.  You don't get it both ways.

I think abortion should only be legal in cases of rape ,incest and imminent danger of death to the mother......apart from that women can use birth control or face the consequences of their actions.

I agree.  We all know how someone gets pregnant.  I feel that if you willingly engage in sex then you should be prepared to deal with the possible outcome.

If I thought anything I said would make the slightest difference, I'd enter the fray.  As it is, seeing as how I'm pro-life and completely in support of legislation requiring a minor parental consent in order to have an abortion AND feel the father should have a say in whether or not his child is aborted....somehow I feel my points would be lost.

Welcome Kim.  Tell us about yourself.

Thank you.  Hmmm...about me, well, I am, first and foremost a wife and mother.  I'm also a business professional, but that's more a matter of necessity.  I've never espoused the feminist agenda (I remember in grade school upon hearing about the equal rights amendment becoming very upset because if it were to pass and men and women were the same in the eyes of the law then I might have to start sharing public bathrooms with boys  ).  Although I've never been a feminist, I always felt they were welcome to their beliefs as long as they weren't hurting anyone else.  However, in the last several years I began to notice how these views were hurting people, namely men and families.  I've been bothered for some time on the media's portrayal and society's attack on men.  I'm a humanitarian and I tend to champion the human cause.  Lately I've noticed a lot of the injustic being directed towards men.  I'm a very strong advocate for families and children.  I believe the attack upon the family unit will be the downfall of our society.  Me personally, I'm a feminist's nightmare.  I love taking care of my husband I love the way he takes care of me.   I think men and women are both wonderful and different, and they should embrace that which is unique in them; that which makes them distinctly 'man' and 'woman'.

We're not interested in suppressing the truth in the name of advocacy like the female supremacists. Women's IQ scores do in fact congregate towards the mean, and there are quite a few more men with high IQ's than there are women with high IQ's. To tell it like it is is not a negative generalization, it is the truth.

Yes, I am aware of the 5 point difference between the average man's I.Q. and women's I.Q..  I'm also aware that the gap widens in the higher I.Q. brackets.  However, I don't believe the fact that there are fewer women than men with high I.Q.s is the same thing as there being very few women with high I.Q.s.  For example, the fact that there is a greater number of Christians than Muslims in the world, does not mean that there are very few Muslims in the world.  That said, if I did misinterpret the poster's intent, then I apologize.

Funny how they talk about women with High IQ's when such a small percentage of them have a high IQ.

Really?  Do you have numbers to support that?  I was under the impression that this board strived to steer clear of unsubstantiated gender based stereotypes.

Maybe you should do your own research. And lurk more to get an idea of what this board "strives for."

I based that observation on the board rule that stated

"4. Negative global generalizations about either gender like "Men are Pigs" or "Women are whores" are not allowed. "

Perhaps I'm alone in this, but I felt a statement that very few women had high I.Q.'s was a negative generalization.

Personally, I don't think "intelligent" women have a harder time with relationships, perhaps "educated" women would be a better word.


Personally, I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about. Lurk more.

As I've managed to stay married to the same man for over 15 years, I think I have some clue as to what I'm talking about.  I've also spent a fair amount of time studying the effects of feminization in western universities, so there again, I feel I have atleast a clue.  I don't think the number of posts I've submitted to this board is a fair indication of what I do or don't know or a determination of my right to express an opinion.  I also happen to be a strong supporter of the rights of men and an anti-feminist, I just don't believe in resorting to negative gender stereotypes to express my support.  Based on your response, perhaps you are correct though, and I have misunderstood what this board is about.
