An epiphany and an apology - Talk About Marriage

I think I've had an epiphany: women and men are equally complex creatures who are not governed by silly little theories like alpha and beta. I've learned a lot on this forum since joining and I can now say that I'm embarrassed by some of my earlier threads (especially the tattoo one where I insulted a lot of people).

I guess that it's always easiest to look at things from one's own perspective (in my case, the perspective of a man) and to ignore the opinions of others even when they are telling you that your simplistic categorization of large groups of people do not fit in with their own experiences. The recent alpha/beta thread kind of woke me up and made me realize that I was saying a lot of stupid things. So I guess that I am immature for my age but I now sincerely want to learn. Relationships are hard enough without applying ridiculous absolutes to them.

Since my perspective is that of a man, I ignored what many female posters have said about their relationships with their SOs when it did not fit in with my preconceived notions. Now I know better.

I'm not going to go through the rest of my life with a chip on my shoulder. When I look at some of my old posts I'm embarrassed. I think my difficult relationship with my mom (this is really hard to write) created a kind of unconscious feeling that I must compete with women to prevent them from hurting me. This is stupid. I REALLY, REALLY wish I were married to some of the female posters here.

So, I'm sorry for being a d**k in my earlier posts. And I'm sorry for giving crappy advice. And I would totally now date a woman with tattoos.
