(It's these little things that bother me) The 11 Differences Between Dating a Boy vs a Man

I have yet to see a man write an article about what it means to be a woman.

Can someone point me to one?

I've seen far far worse.

This one really isn't to bad, it just draws a line between the mature and immature with the assumption that everyone wants a family.

Yeah, well good luck finding this "man". And when you have found him, I hope he will choose you, lady.

Here's the pronouns reversed. I still like it, and it would make relationships much much easier:

A woman knows what she wants, and goes for it. A girl may have somewhat of an idea, but not really. She doesn’t think too much about it, and even if she does, doesn’t exert much effort to get it. A girl is passive, a woman is assertive.

A woman plans for her future and is working towards building a foundation and infrastructure in order to have a family (at some point in her life). A girl lives only in the moment and her plans are mostly around which bar she’s going to hit up on the weekend.

A woman looks for a man with intelligence, who is supportive, grounded and encompasses a shared set of values when choosing a partner. A girl cares mostly only for boys who are hot, wild and exciting.

A woman knows a good man when she meets one and will take initiative to get to know him. A girl may make an attempt if you’re lucky, but gives up before ever really trying.

A woman has the courage to have uncomfortable conversations. She is honest with her intentions and lets people know where they stand. A girl avoids. She ignores confrontation or any serious talks about feelings. Instead of dealing with a situation, she runs away from it or creates drama or excuses to mask the fact she’s not that into you or a relationship.

A woman knows when to invest in a man and jump in with two feet. A girl is always “testing” – she doesn’t fully commit because she never knows if she is quite ready. But the truth is, because she is a girl, regardless of who she meets, she will never be ready due to the stage of life she is in.

A woman knows how to have a good time and be social, but is often busy making strides in her career and building her life. A girl is getting crunk with her girlfriends at the bar every weekend.

A woman takes the time to reflect on the type of woman she wants to be, the example she wants to leave and the vision for her life. she has put thought into her values. A girl has not established her moral compass or values and consequently, is often inconsistent.

A woman has integrity. She means what she says, and says what she means. She has follow through and actions her promises. And if she can’t she has the guts to tell you why. A girl makes promises but doesn’t follow through.

A woman is afraid of rejection but will put herself out there anyway. A girl is afraid of rejection and acts passive so that her pride and ego won’t ever get too banged up.

A girl plays games. A woman doesn't.

When will women stop trying to define "man" as "that which benefits women?"

Judging by the contempt for guys that go to bars I'm guessing that she has been going around fucking douches from the bar wanting a relationship but becoming a booty call instead. She admitted some fault in it...oh wait, its not her fault! Its all due to a subconcious need to fuck douchebags because of her daddy issues. Its all the "boys" that she's been fucking who are at fault. She is looking for a man who is willing to put up with her bullshit since I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the reason her past relationships ended in the guy not commiting wasn't solely because he was "getting crunk at the bar" all nighy, I'm guessing they ran screaming when she tried to get them to be a "man" which entails catering to her every whim it seems.
