Relationships, and the great Change

Ah LisaNova... haha



Why is it that men and women approach relationships so differently? Are girls attracted to guys because of a projected "capacity for manipulation"? Even going back to my last post... I could see a girl helping push a guy in a direction he already wanted to change... but it is just an absolute disaster when girls push guys to change to fit their mold... instead of promoting a guy to grow into more of himself.

It would be totally amazing if two people could be together, and only become better versions of their self (more confident, capable, etc.), instead of having to change and adapt so radically to "make their love work".

Here is a more gender neutral statement: Is there something inherently wrong with men, or something inherently wrong with women that needs changing? Or are we only seeing this "adjustment period" occur so radically because people are "falling in love with" people that are in no way a good match for them?

Another question: Would relationships work better if we waited to "date" (or whatever), until after we had a better sense of ourself and who we want to be?

Just some thoughts... only somewhat relevant to the video... lol
