There are a lot of men like that round my way, Ipetrich. They're threatened by a woman who has her own wage-packet (especially if it's bigger than theirs, a la one of my exes...) or by women with a high IQ, or women with brains, a sense of independence, etc...
Maybe it's a Scottish thing. But it's such a turn-off. I reckon I'm still single because I have standards.
The men round here have been spoiled by the women who put up with that sort of crap, so they think, "Why should I make an effort for you when there are so many other women who'll put up with my women-hating ways?"
Adora, darling, there's no need for you to post here. I know what you're thinking.
Heh heh...Anyhoo...I'm off to make a cuppa. I get headaches and kill people if I go too long without caffeine.
