Genderally speaking

I don't like generalizations made about men--that most of them have commitment issues, want to have their cake and eat it too, prefer to spend time with their buddies and so on. Nor do I accept generalizations made about women--that they trap men into relationships, suffocate them and take away their freedom. I find this kind of simplistic thinking lacks creativity, sensitivity and imagination, and makes it easy to take the focus off one's self, which is where we should all be looking when we are looking for answers.

Rather than a man deciding he knows what a woman is “after,” he would be better served to question his own fears, just as it would better serve a woman to look within and ask why a feeling of urgency clouds her natural desire for closeness.
