Fewer men are paying for sex, survey suggests

[Kelvin Mace]

76. Sadly no

and no.

I have seen this my entire life. I went to military school for six years and got to spend LOTS of personal time with 200+ adolescent males grades 7-12.

I can honesty say that the majority of the men I meet have views toward women that never progressed from those of I saw in school.

I have never understood the "us versus them" attitude of so many men, the references to their wives and girlfriends as forces restricting their lives that they do not understand.

My wife and I have had our differences over our 28 years of marriage, but we have NEVER personally insulted each other as I have heard many men insult their significant others (and then get it returned in kind). She is my best friend on top of being my wife and lover, and I cannot think of any person I would prefer to spend my time with.

She does have her hobbies and interests, I have mine, and then we have mutual interests (big sci-fi/fanstasy geeks). We even work together, which has led to men coming up and asking me how I can stand being around my wife so much?

The biggest obstacles to successful relationships are failure to communicate and lack of honesty. I have seen them kill more relationships than any other.
