However, there seems to be heavy neglect in maintaining good relationships towards men. Many women today believe the key to making their man happiness is just allocating out sex to them but that is very far from the truth. Our society tends to force young men to hide their emotions and we seem to forget that males are complex individuals who value other traits besides what's between a woman's legs.


Even on mother's day as a society we celebrate mothers and children are expected to show their appreciation for mothers, whether it's buying her presents or cooking her breakfast, being kind to her and showing her love. Yet, on fathers day most kids at best would show their thanks by either wishing their dad "happy father's day" or calling him and wishing him over the phone.
When we look at media tv shows/movies fathers are portrayed as incompetent and foolish. While mothers are portrayed as head of the household who should be respected.

He said that was crazy and that we could meet up. I said I only wanted to drop off and exchange via my car. He says he doesn't understand why we can't see each other and talk since we've dated for almost a year.
