Why is it that when a man is in a relationship, he can still retain his self-identity? But when women get into relationships, they often cease to exist as interesting individuals?
I get along great with my man friends who are attached. But my female friends with significant others, it's so frustrating that they disappear out of my life, that they spend 1/3 of our conversations analyzing the minutiae of their relationship, that their idea of adventure is to take up knitting/quilting/having dinner. Why is it that women are so much more willing to give up their identities to merge into monolithic TomKat creature? Granted there are exceptions, but I don't see to many of them.
I enjoy my female friends. It's just upsetting to me that all of a sudden, I'm hanging out with mostly guys because a good number of my female friends suck at life. I adore my male friends, they're fun and are game for the absurd ideas I develop for them. But I feel the sudden vacuum of my lady friends.
