With regards to the articles, I don't think people are entirely one or the other. I think men will always have some qualities of boys, and women will always have some qualities of girls. After all, are children not endearing for their sweet natured, yet oft times temperamental ways?

Some young girls have more integrity than grown women, but since girls live in a sheltered environment, you can't tell how they are going to react to stress (like the stress of facing a break-up from someone they love, or job stress, etc) so there's no way to test them and know for sure how mature they really are.

Now as for this:

When displeased, upset or angry, she reacts just as she did as a child when she didn't get her way with her parents. This often consists of screaming, pouting, giving the silent treatment, being passive aggressive and/or punishing. A woman still feels the emotions of being upset/displeased, but has cultivated the skill of responding versus reacting. She comes to the table as an adult, and communicates clearly what is bothering her.

I think the author is saying that the only appropriate way to convey displeasure is by having a meeting and raising one's concerns in a rather intellectual context.

How stifling and unnatural. And boring.

Boring? I suppose, but I can think of better ways to find excitement than to act like a 5-year-old. Granted, it's best to go with acting like a 5-year-old in stories because that's more entertaining than acting all mature. But think of all those obnoxious kids on TV and comics, they're a lot of fun to watch, but would you really want to have a kid that obnoxious in your life?

In any case I don't find it stifling or unnatural or boring. If anything is stifling it's trying to resolve differences while one or both act like a 5-year-old.

Yeah, because essentially saying Women are shallow because the most important things to them are a Man who has money and meets their requirement for being good looking. If that happens, then they'll dive into a relationship with him, regardless of whether personality wise, he is a total ass hat or genuinely a well rounded mature Man.

I'm not going to say that things like money and looks don't matter to everyone, they do. As long as the man is working, and not a total jobless bum, can afford to buy food. As long as the man doesn't look like some Cthulian nightmarish horror, then Women will probably think about it. Hell, even then, there are plenty of women who will have a relationship with someone who may not earn much money, or may not be what you consider attractive.

Women are just as capable of choosing a partner for a relationship based on personality as Men are.

Just because in your opinion you have not seen this happen, or think that Women pass you over because you aren't good looking or earning enough money to buy them pretty things. Does not give you the right to automatically label all Women the same.

I do read your posts. If you can't tell that you generalize about women CONSTANTLY, and that most of it's negative, it's more an issue of you not paying attention to what you're saying. Just because you threw women a bone here doesn't negate or overrule the negativity in your post as well.

You won't generalize about men because you don't want to date them.

There's something wrong with women because they generalize about men

But there's nothing wrong with you generalizing...because YOUR generalizations about women, while incessant and mostly negative, are "objective observations" therefore no one should have a problem with your constant negativity.

Well, I'll volunteer. Most men don't give a sh1t what any other men think about most men. Most men pay attention only to women and never about men.

Therein lies the fallacy where most women stare down each other in admiration, envy or hatred over what they wear, have or behave. Most men don't heed other men, at least not in the mainstream persuasion.

Not to make too fine a point but this man finds men repulsive. The last thing this man wants is to observe other men.
