No it's not what you think, I was watching Knocked Up again this weekend for the second time. It was a so so movie in the theatre and I rarely enjoy movies in the theatre so I gave it another viewing in the comfort of my own home. Yeah it was a still a so so movie.
But it got me thinking about men and women. In this movie the main guy whatever his name is Ben I think, has to change his life around dramatically for this woman who was having his baby. Granted the guy was a loser and he really needed a swift kick in the ass, but he seemed really happy with his less than mediocre life.
Of course my thoughts redirected itself to me as it always does and I got to thinking about how much I've changed since I've started dating Mary, marrying/living with Mary, and eventually having a baby with Mary. I'd say I changed a lot. The guy I was back then and the guy I am now are so different. The haphazard lackadaisical guy in the movie hanging out with his friends kind of reminded me a little of myself when I was in my early twenties, well to be honest all guys in their early twenties.
Ok so finally the question I've been wanting to ask is this. Do men change more for women than the other way around? I'm going to go out on a male sided, egocentric limb and say yes we do.

maybe women just don't have to change as much. =P
Men may change more for women, lifestyle-wise. But I think women sacrifice more of themselves to take care of not only her husband, but their children. We always tend to everyone else's needs before our own.
Ha ha. Nice try. I'm not rattled up.
Ha, heh I know that's not true. =)
I think women defintely have more of a biological maternal instinct that men do not have. But men do their share of the caring and nurturing, well I do anyway.
Babe I don't know what you are talking about. =)
hey, didn't we all see that movie together. baby night at the el cerrito theater. about the changes,i assume that you agree that most of those changes are for the better :>
Yeah I have to agree. But that’s the thing. Are men such Neanderthals that we can’t cohabitate with women unless we completely change?
Yeah we did see that movie together. hehe
Oh Oh Oh Oh...I don't even know where to begin.
Our lives change DRASTICALLY. I'd venture so far as to say that women have to readjust their lives significantly more than men when it comes to marriage and then A HUNDRED FOLD with the arrival of a baby.
Your wife needs to spank you with a frying pan.

I'm scared to disagree with you because you sound violent. =)
