Do you think men are genuinely the more romantic gender, or is his view skewed by his past and the people he met?
I was having a conversation with my soon to be bf and he was telling me stories about when he went to jail he would sometimes give some people food and ask what their story was.
One example was when he apparently was talking to an ex doctor who's life got completely ruined by his brother who was supposed to be his accountant (ended up stealing his money and something about not paying taxes) and when the IRS caught up to him the ex doctor was the one that was hit the hardest, he ended up going bankrupt all his stuff got taken and his wife left him and he ended up homeless and on drugs.
That's when I mentioned that it's crazy that the wife left because of that, imo if something like that happened with the guy I'm married to I would stick with him till the end of time because I love the person for who they are.
Anyways when I mentioned that he started saying that women are just so used to taking but they don't give much back and once the guy stops providing she wants to move on to the next guy. He also said that men are the more romantic ones, who go the extra mile to see their women happy but females (his words) only care about themselves and what they can get out of a relationship.
I've never dated women before so I'm not sure on my opinion but something else he did mention was that most divorces are the women who start it
