you sound bitter.Have you just been dumped? I agree women are complicated and thats why one man could never make several women happy.Men are simple creatures.their needs are basic
808BAMS (October 26, 2008 at 12:55 am)
That is because women don't know what they want. women blame everybody else for there problems. If women aren't happy it's never there fault. Women don't know how to be happy like men. men can be happy with a lot less then women. i think it's because men in general have more confidence. you show me a women that's happy, and I'll show you a woman that's a good actress.

Men are easy to make happy. That's not an accomplishment. we all know how moody and tempermental women can be. women are very picky. you should know that.

i disagree the fact that a women has three or more men caring for her seems a bit selfish , men are usually viewed as the bread winners so how can 1 women have three bread winners . not all guys are willing to be domestic so what happens when three or more men provide for one women and then leave other women. 2ndly how are the children to know who is their father ? she can;t possibly know if she sleeps with them all during the same period.

Ugh, I'd rather be alone then share my wife with other men, let alone brothers.
