~ What are the differences between men and women in terms of the way they regard relationships.

Growing up in the world from child to adult, there are many myths between men and women that we learn. Many people in the world believe that when it comes down to it, that they are completely different. Women are always said to be the ones to be sensitive and emotional, and the men are supposed to be the ones who are tough and strong. When it comes down to relationship, many people believe women and men have a different outlook. The women have the myth to be the ones to take care of the men by feeding them and making sure their home life style is easy. Men really did not have really anything besides being there husband. Another myth we hear growing up is that women look at someone’s personality and their looks do not matter, were men only care about how the women looks, and if their not pretty then do not want anything to do with them.
When it comes down to the end, I believe that there is not really a difference between men and women about relationships. I believe that there are many women and men that have different terms in the way they believe in a relationship. Although, isn’t that why the person you consider to marry to be special. Isn’t that what love is? I believe in life, when you find a person that you feel completes you, views and sees things the same way you do that women and men will not have differences between relationships. Many myths have been build from the past because women did not have the same rights has they do now. I believe people growing up in today’s world, have a different life as many people in the past. That’s why many of these myths seem crazy to many younger people in today’s world.

Yes, I think you did a great job and I think that women didn't have as much respect as the men did far as the relationship was concerned because as you stated that the women was just there to make the man life go easy, while the woman make sure eveything at home was ok. Today to me it seems more 90% the woman may be taking care of the house and working and 10% the man would just be working and paying the bills when it should be 50/50.

I agree with you that in the end there is not much of a difference between men and women when it comes to relationships. Also, that it does depends on what terms men and women believe in order to have a relationship.

I agree with you about not having to many differences between men and women in relationships nowadays but there are always exceptions to the rule. You made strong points and it was interesting how you supported it with the examples that you did.
