I honestly think we're just busy losing the roles and trying to just figure out who we are without them....not to mention with all the demands that people have in their lives these days I think we're mostly just in survival mode going through the motions most of the time.....
One2note: With so many single women nowadays, either through choice , or a busy lifestyle, or even , dare I say, from previous bad relationships , have they lost their femininity? Most , through no choice of their own, have taken over the traditional male role, which has increased their testosterone level , thus making them more masculine, as a pose to feminine. You may argue the opposite, but subconsciously, is this the real reason why so many women have become so frustrated & bitter creatures, in the modern era ?
You are a chef - cooking traditionally was a "women's job" - have you lost your masculinity?
These days people can do whatever suits them jobwise - there are women that are mechanics and men that are hairdressers. I'd rather milk a cow or even drive a tractor than cleaning the house. Doesn't mean I can't do "traditional" female stuff (I also sew, cook, garden, decorate, dress according to the situation which can include make-up and pink dresses) and himself rather cleans the house than do diy (we're a good match )
I am an adult and don't need someone to run my life. I want a partner that has my back as much as I have his. On role models and single mothers - every kid has a father and is often is the father that can't be bothered to be in his kids life.
People that are happy, have build up a good life (with or without kids), have a job they like and picked their partner well are usually not frustrated and bitter. Goes for both genders btw.

No KN , I haven't lost my masculinity! Raising my daughter from child to adulthood didn't make me less of a man , it made me a more sensitive & responsible person .
mykingdomforanam: In the absence of my Dad, most of my male role models were homeless men... ex-cons, drug dealers, bank robbers, bikers, and Viet Nam vets.
That's probably the saddest thing I've heard in all my time on CS !

This is what my post was about.
It is about the person and what YOU make out of life, not the gender.

Actually, it was about women who have lost their femininity because of the role they play in society. It's obvious most women won't agree with this & will argue till the cows come home ..

In your opening post you stated "Most , through no choice of their own, have taken over the traditional male role, which has increased their testosterone level , thus making them more masculine, as a pose to feminine." Would it be fair of a woman to say most, through no choice of their own, have taken over the traditional female role, which has increased their progesterone level, thus making them more feminine, as apposed to masculine?

What would she do that would make her more feminine that she wouldn't do if she were in a relationship ?
I apologise for those posts I have answerd .. I haven't had a chance to read through them , but appreciate all comments & will try to answer in the "not to distant future .
One2note: KN , I've dated a few women in recent months & I can assure you , most women in my age range have been damaged , or what people nowadays like to call , "baggage"! The rest are either too young ,too old , or are in a relationship! I've come to the conclusion that I'm gonna be single for a very long time, unless the ball bounces in my direction by pure chance !
Do you think it is different for women? Most single guys around 40 either can't or don't want to have a relationship. I was single for a good while until I run by chance into a guy that I had a lot of things in common with. It hadn't been easy in the start with him and his "baggage" of a former relationship, but we got through it - and it's worth it.
Taking your time getting to know someone and making an informed decision to NOT get involved saves you a lot of hassle. Sometimes there is a reason for baggage, but people have to get over it and move on with their lives.
Giving out to all women won't make you find someone that it might work with. Be picky and enjoy your life as single (which is better than having your head wrecked by idiots) and at some point, there might be someone worth your time.
One2note: I don't understand how single women who have taken over both roles can be more feminine!!
So, given you own circumstances, would it be fair of a woman to question/understand how a single man who has taken over both roles can be more masculine? Do you see where I'm going with this?
