		<description>@Pinku - welcome to my blog, and thanks for the comment. I am sure a lot of men do agree with Dante - which is why his book&#039;s apparently doing well.....but seriously, I think if you do an informal survey, most men may wish they had some say in matters and decisions....but not this. :-)</description>

@Everyone
You can disagree about the book all you but it doesn’t make it any less true.

		<description>@Shefaly - Oh, I agree.....the Lauras of the world will take care of that! :-)

@wavemaker2 - :-)

@Hades - the Vim thingee is a good idea, but do you seriously think Our Great Leaders will allow that ad to be aired. We are Indians. We do not get &#039;naykkid&#039;!

@Supercynic - Thanks for the link. That article was hilarious....must be the source material for Dante&#039;s book. Only thing missing was the lingerie bit.</description>

		<description>My wife has Dr. Laura&#039;s book about the proper care of husbands. She doesn&#039;t read it though. The book is very dense with a lot of mass and she uses it to whack me upside the head when I allegedly get out of line by, say, not being able to read her mind.

I&#039;m a fan of this article about how women should treat their husbands: http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/how-to-be-a-good-wife-ladies-how-do-you-meaure-up

FYI, I&#039;m kidding.  But the article is a funny read b/c it&#039;s so outdated and bizarre.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s nice to know that the quality of literature in the US is nothing to sneeze at.

And, sexy clothes while washing barthans. Nice, very nice! :P
The idea should be mooted to the Vim guys, eh? Incorporate it in their ads.</description>

		<description>@ QI:

Without a doubt, it is about choice.

The point of my comment also was to highlight that taking the view he is taking is no guarantee for a man to remain single. He will find enough women who want to live like that. :-)</description>

		<description>@Phoenixritu - glad you liked it. Yes, the video is hilarious!

@Shefaly - I guess it&#039;s finally a matter of choice. It&#039;s Dante&#039;s choice to keep the sort of views he does, and it&#039;s the choice of readers to buy his book, and either agree or disagree with him. The Lauras of the world choose their lifestyles, as do the women, who, while &#039;emancipated&#039;, choose home over career. As do the women who choose to stay single. The key aspect here is the exercise of one&#039;s choice. I choose to disagree with Dante&#039;s views, and I choose to laugh at them....  :-)

As for the &#039;commitment-phobe gene&#039;.....I&#039;m sure this study comes as a godsend to many men. Though, as the researchers themselves state, the extent of this gene&#039;s contribution is still not known.

@Priyanka - welcome to my blog. Thanks for the appreciation. :-)

@minnesotameetskarnataka (that&#039;s quite a mouthful!) - welcome! Thank you for the link....that was a good read.</description>
