the other thing that gets me...
Is that we are supposed to accept every fault, foible and personality defect that a girl we are set up with has.

Think about it - your friend gets set up with a girl you missus recommends and they will say "well, he's nice, but he watches football, I don't like his clothes, he spends too much time with his mates and I don't like the music he plays. Oh and he needs a better job in order to look after me better."

Now reverse the roles. Your friend gets set up with the same girl and says to your missus, "well she's ok, but she watches utter crap on TV, she's like satan when she's on the blob, she listens to bloody Girls Aloud, she doesn't swallow, won't take it up the dirtbox and last week the silly bitch put the DVDs back in the wrong cases, thus causing me to spend four hours looking for a film because I didn't know which one of the 1000 cases it was in. Oh, and she's put so many soddiing cushions and throws everywhere that there is no room left to sit on the sofa or sleep on the bed. You need to sort her out, or she's out on her arse."

Then stand back and watch the fireworks. I am all for sexual equality, but it cuts both ways, ladies - you can't take it as carte blanche that you can mould us into some metrosexual twat, unless we get to turn you into a dirty slut.... :-)

changing people, or finding them?
I am still indebted to a certain ex-boyfriend who taught me, erm, things.

That sounds so crude and vulgar. No, I'm not a CHW or anything like that. I'm just not lamenting the loss of a naive attitude.

well done that man!
I applaud his efforts and think I speak for the group when ask: "what talents?"

I think the point is that we have TV shows where a woman takes her husband and gives him to a bunch of gay guys to pretty him up and make him more like her ideal man (gay?). Where is the TV show where a guy gets to take his wife to a bunch of stripppers and they sluttify her for him?

Now, that's a show I'd watch. Along with the out-takes from Supernanny where she beats seven shades of snot out of the little bastards and then recommends the mouth-breathing parents for sterilisation to prevent them breeding further... at times the world makes me an angry, angry man.... heh

Sluttify me
I'd do that show! It's my secret ambition to be a pole dancer.
