If It’s OK For Women To Propose, Why Don’t They?

60. Really?

It certainly has generated a lot of response, but I think the bigger response was generated from the response to my response, which I'm kinda surprised wasn't hidden (the "getting pregnant" one.)

I didn't really think what I said was a stereotype, I was just going on personal experience. If anything, I thought my remark was pretty tame compared to the "They get pregnant" one - especially since I actually did have the experience of a woman specifically deceiving me by leaving a packet of birth control pills out on the kitchen counter and throwing one away every day - she eventually confessed to me after getting pregnant. I used a condom once and she became very suspicious so hey, what can ya do? It was my first relationship, I wasn't smart enough to just get out of it. Life's a bitch, but I got a wonderful daughter out of the deal (her mom moved out of state, go figure, so I got to be a single dad which was fine by me) and I certainly didn't become a woman-hater because of it and I didn't even mention it here till 'left on green only' did.

I do my best not to say or think stereotypical things, and in this case I thought I was just saying what usually does happen. Obviously not with every woman, but with a very significant percentage based on my own experience. And even if it really is stereotypical, so what? There's nothing negative about dropping hints IMO. Just two different approaches to the same situation.
