You don’t need to treat women like dirt.

But you need to make them seek your aporoval.

and put your feelings away. Don’t take them out except on special occasuons.[/quote]

You wouldn’t be so worried about your abs and your squats if the approval thing didn’t work both ways. And to comment on a separate post – when I want to talk about “feelings,” which isn’t very often, I have to admit my husband thinks it works out best if I can chat with friends (or if the timing is right, go to book club) have a glass of wine and get it out of my system. Female friends can have conversations like that without feleling they have to fix something. He can’t. It doesn’t work if there is a decision we need to make together, of course.
