Agreed. :-)

Again, agreed, and I always tried to explain to my partners that kind of expectation doesn't work (personal growth also means growing and improving together).
Problem is, when the vast majority of women have such mindset, one has to be realistic and "settle". Otherwise he will be looking for a "unicorn" for a long time... ;-)
Of course you might believe that not many women are like that. In this case, are you looking at the WIDE world... or maybe at yourself? (and perhaps at your entourage)
