Ginger1 - East sums it up really well in the above post.

East - My reading of ... is that I'd change ^^ to say "We know hot to be what WE THINK what women want in a man".

Where us nice guys miss the boat is by putting one's self aside we become a shell of who we are or were before M. In my case, it was my dad not prioritizing himself in any way, shape or form and completely having no say in what we did as a family. He did not do this because he was shirking responsibility, but just in wanting to let my mom decide to have what she wanted.

Obviously the flaw in this and the trap I followed is then we're not contributing/owning our side of things. It's all unintentional, but devastating. We do this because of such a fear of confrontation, keep the peace and it makes us look pretty damn weak in the process.

Thornton, sorry to hijack a bit here on your thread, but just wanted to add my 2 cents on ...
