As a woman with some pretty serious committment issues herself, I found this article to be dismal and enlightening.
I too have the general resentment of menfolk that comes along with not finding someone I can relate to (at all) and the exploitation of the opposite sex because, well, its easy when you don't care anymore. But unlike the men who think this is unique to them, I am trying to recognize that this situation is actually my own fault and do something about it while I still can. Instead of wallowing pathetically in my misery, I am trying to give more men a chance, to actually ask them about themselves to see if I care, to dump guys I realize I have no feelings for before I start to believe that I merely have no feelings. (Doing us both a big favor, no?)
Sure I could just marry some rich guy and lie to his face, push him away in the middle of the night, claim headaches, and bear children that may or may not be his. But that would be admitting defeat, no?
