A friend of mine has been single for a while now, and has told me that all men are cheats...not some..but all...it is in their make up apparently.
What I find even more saddening is that her grown up daughter, who has never been in a relationship, tells me that all men are wankers, who are only good for what they can provide financially. She says she never ever wants to get married unless she stands to inherit a lump sum of money upon divorcing her husband.
She sat there today telling me that she can only see herself being happy if she finds a man who earns a good wage but works away. She'd rather not see her husband very much...but be free to spend his earnings whilst he's away.
If she had been joking, I probably wouldn't have posted, but she is totally serious. She is barely into her 20's, yet has such bitter feelings towards men. I feel very sad that some young women feel so negative towards men that they clump them all together and label all men as wankers.
My friend found her daughter's opinion about men amusing and sat there laughing.
I have been in an abusive relationship myself, but if my DD grew up and thought all men were nasty/selfish/wankers/twats, I'd feel very sad. How can you expect to meet someone nice if you have this opinion on the opposite sex?
I did say that there are some nasty men, and there are some nice men too. Not all men are nasty, and the same goes for women. She says I am deluded.
I also find it very sad that there are some women who rate a man's value by what is in his bank account/on his wage slip? (My friend's DD can't be the only one..surely??)
Am I deluded?
