LOL. Hi Chao, let me quickly explain something.

Thanks for even reading my reply and I get it that the way I formulated the last sentences felt a bit strong.

Look, I'm Slovenian and we have a certain humour, also we like to exaggerate. So my last two paragraphs are a result of that, trying to be a bit funny. Clearly, I failed in that sense for you and that's ok.

If you read my book, you would know that I am very balanced in understanding all sides of both genders.

"Demanding bitch" is an expression I came across many times. Maybe I should have put it in quotes in the first place.

Then again (and I hope you will allow for that in this case), if you had experienced women in your life who were seriously abusing, then you wouldn't feel I was too strong in my language.

It's great if you have never come across a negative woman before who can utter the word love just before or after she's beaten you up.

But I myself, in the name of fairness to both genders, I have no problem admitting to the horrible possibilities when it comes to women, just as the world never has a problem vilifying men. WHICH is something I'm fighting against actually. Men should be much more appreciated and we need to stop pretending as if women could never do any wrong.

The only way to restore balance between both genders is to admit to the fact that we women can be just as horrible (or great) as men.

And if you ever encounter in your life "a demanding bitch", you will think back at my comment and perhaps understand :).

I'm not angry at all, in general.

What you said 'people are perfectly capable of being both demanding and caring' - that is absolutely true. There are of course many variations of that, some positive, others negative.

Here is where language is limiting us.

When I said 'demanding', I meant those women who are demanding without a thought to give anything back. And yes, there are such people out there, such women out there, believe me. That's why I added the 'bitch' part to be a bit clearer what I mean by demanding.

There is accepting and there is simply taking in a relationship. One of the things I discuss in my book "Don't Chase Love - Cut to the Chase".

People are complex, true, and yes, often there can even be not just demanding, but abusive people who are also (seemingly) caring the next minute.

But when discussing one aspect of a relationship, a certain simplicity is used in language, hoping that most people will instinctively understand what I mean because they've had such experiences themselves. It's not ideal but anything else would require 300 more pages to very carefully explain all possible aspects or what I meant.

I'm really glad you don't seem to have had a bad experience with a woman before.

But please don't judge too quickly those of us who have been through hell. And even despite that hell I'm not an angry person (any longer). Given my experiences though, I do feel entitled to talk about certain things and not try to always be politically correct because if you've noticed, you're the first one having a problem with how I expressed myself, others didn't. A cultural thing perhaps?

It's ok. Read my book. Then you'll understand ;) I hope.

I can't do more than that.
