Man responds to "What happened to all the nice guys?"

True shit. Even if that man is married.

When a woman actually puts a man on a pedestal. Note that he doesn't correct her. He probably helped to fabricate that pedestal.

Some of the work that goes in to a long term relationship is actually that of a man creating a very carefully crafted image of himself that he presents to his wife. If anything ever shatters that image, she will leave him almost immediately.

Think about it. How many times have you seen a girl's image get shattered and then she leaves him post haste. No discussions or explanations allowed. Just going. Is there a better example of how fragile women are in their relationships and how important image is to them?

Now, consider how women build up their OWN image. They want a guy that builds THEM up. They can brag to their friends that you're a doctor or somehow important. They can brag to their friends about your house and car. Now, if a man loses some of those things and she can't brag anymore... or if he denies her. If he says she can't drive the nice car and gets a shit box to drive. If he says she can't have people in the house.... these assets don't mean anything to her image anymore, and she reacts with hostility.

Women are ALL about image. The idea of a woman is more important to a woman than the reality of a woman. - Ever call them on their shit and try forcing to face reality about an unattractive behavior? You're asking them to break their self image. That image is too important, so they are going to really fight you hard.
