"idea that men (as a group) have behaviors that women (as a group) shouldn't tolerate."

Not an "idea" I am basing this on research.

"This begs the question of whether woman as a group need to change behaviors to be more acceptable to men as a group. I assume you would react to someone who made this claim."

Surely, I would. I think a lot of men would love women to re-embrace 1957. However, women are less concerned with fingding a partner than men.

"You are making subjective judgements that you are applying across the board. You use the term "emotional maturity" as if this is well defined. I am almost certain that your definition of emotional maturity would be dramatically different than mine. Of course this is OK because I doubt you and I would ever date. My girlfriend apparently thinks my emotional maturity is acceptable."

That is great for both of you. You found your person! I celebrate that. But, there is a mass of articles noting that the reason women are not interesting in dating or marriage is based in emotional development of men.

"I would never demand that my partner change for me. I completely object to this idea. "

Here's what you're missing. You've already chosen each other. That is NOT the issue. We're talking about people that are trying to meet other people.

You did a good job finding the right person. You don't have to change the right person. What I ma talking about rght now it that men are doing an increasingy poor job of being the kind of person a woman wants to have for a partner. Hence, they are increasingly single.
