It's important to have men speak up with their viewpoint. <br /><br />I think you might have misunderstood my demand equality point. I do not mean perfection by any means. I mean, date someone who is like you. I spent a decade dating without any dealbreakers other than not liking the man.

And the word "Generally" was used to acknowledge that not every LDS man is that way. I'm suggesting over 50% are. I could be wrong. I would love to be wrong. But I'm not the only one who has had these experiences.

I would give a quality guy a chance, but they seem to have this same reaction of expecting the woman to be perfect before they'll even entertain dating her. And if she's perfect, then she's clearly too good for him. So they defeat themselves. And then there's the issue of so many people having crushes on someone SavvyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380401063646153237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679355.post-7044674057242279192011-01-20T16:31:29.830-05:002011-01-20T16:31:29.830-05:00THIS IS A GREAT POST!

I posted a treatise on marriage by a man who is a Christian and in a rock band. He says men are jerks. He included himself. That man is Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes.<br /><br />Also, don't makes excuses about men being "intimidated" by your level of SavvyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380401063646153237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679355.post-60546682971590500292011-01-09T16:47:25.133-05:002011-01-09T16:47:25.133-05:00It is important to be careful about generalizing. ...It is important to be careful about generalizing. In my experience, most well educated Mormon girls are good friends, regardless of how they look. I think that having friends with low self-esteem is problematic in any group. <br /><br />Although some men probably feel threatened by high achieving, independent girls, I think that it is probably rarely a deal breaker.
