Article was fine, thanks Jezi! I agree that I don't like manipulative women (I meet one really bad one at work every day - TG I'm on vacation at the moment) as well and straightness would be much better than being devious.
But I wonder 'who hasn't been hurt in the past'? I don't know a single person that hasn't. Almost every man seems to have those two same simply thoughts that they expect females to be: they want to see their women satisfied all the time and with good sense of humour. They can't understand that women changes with the situations of their lives just to survive (being a student, having career, being mother, wife and housekeeper, worker, lover and active citizen and stay fit and beautiful in mens eyes is really difficult combination) because somehow they'd like to concentrate to a one thing properly like men does all the time. And somehow I have an opinion that men are also more romantic and women more practical what comes to emotions. Maybe they should explore more behaviour of females to see it's varietys in all the colours - not only in black and white. And don't expect females to be something else they really are.
The fame shows the worst sides of life and other peoples behaviour. But the same thing is happening in every level of human life. You just need to trust your senses and insticts that who's fake and who's not.
But somehow it's same thing opposite way: 'I think from my experience that an awful lot of men can be' thinking to have proprietary rights over their girlfriends and be slightly more and more violent mentally before they come violent physically because after all they can't control female nature. Why there isn't any need to even try to? All women need is to feel safe and secure in the relationship as they are - not to be under a fist or under mother-in-laws commands. 'And if you show a man to himself from the mirror they would absolutely' deny everything and act like martyrs!
I have at work a woman that is in control of his husband. I see children and women being hurted mentally and physically by their husbands, fathers or boyfriends. Some of my female friends has been manipulated by their boyfriends and some of them has been beaten by them. Who's manipulating if a women can't go to study what she wants and had to go to work instead of studying because her father just said so? Who's manipulating when a women can't get a job outside of her home just because her husband has told her so? I had recently a situation at work that I get phone-calls at home from a married male when he was drunk. I also knew that he maltreated his wife. That was horrible!

I just mean that there are worse things in human behaviour than some women being devious and manipulative.
