First of all, try saying "why do people try to change each other?" Men do it to women just as often. This site seems to have a whole lot of gender bashing. I'm not innocent of it myself...lol, but its overly abundant on here for some reason. If two adults go into a relationship happy in who they are, they should not be trying to change one another. If someone you are dating begins trying to change you, you call them on it once then proceed to the nearest exit if it continues. Simple. Its because PEOPLE are generally unhappy with what they have no matter how much or how great, they always want more or different just to have something better than someone else.

It's not very often that I find a man that has the qualities that I look for. When I do, I don't even attempt to try to change him. We all have our faults. However a little fine tuning ocasionally can't hurt.

I think a lot of younger, inexperienced women believe they can change a man. They may enter into the relationship being fairly satisfied with a guy and his character traits. As time goes by, she might come to realize that he isn't quite the "ideal" version of what she actually had in mine for a mate.
It's at this point, that she might endeavor to CHANGE him, into what SHE considers "perfect". Not going to happen. Often times, many years are wasted trying to do this. It's simply a futile exercise. He is, who he is, and he's NOT going to change.
She then has a decision to make, to accept him for who he is, his good traits, as well as his less desirable ones, or get out of the relationship.
I think that with age comes experience. All of us have made mistakes along the way. That's just part of life, and how we as humans, learn. The "lucky" ones, are the gals and guys who learn this lesson EARLY in life. Saves a lot of stress and heartache later on.

You are 25 and I am assuming you date with in your age group,not saying you do or dont just a guess.
Most of us when we were that age and younger thought we could change the world and the people around us. Some even take it that I love him/her and I can change him/her to what my needs are and wants because it is better for him or her, my love for him/her will do that...sadly until we have more experience with life and relationships and learn that love dose not conquer all, we realize that people are who they are and only they can change the things they want to,no one can do that for them and we all need to learn that... love the person and not the idea you have of the person you see.
We all need to make small, sometimes big compromises with in our relationships and we should ask our selfs,can I be with him/her and make that commitment with all the things I do not like about him/her or what he/she wants and needs from me.Or will this effect my feelings towards him/her and our relationship in months/years to come. jmo 
Good luck to you and hope it works out

Ladies, I am in no way trying to be rude, just want some thoughts on something that has puzzled me for a while. What is the deal with a woman who tells a guy that he has all of the qualities she has ever wanted in a guy, but then she tries to change things about him that are part of who the guy is? Is it that the girl is just trying to reel him in, or does she even know what she wants?
Because most women are never satisfied with what they have, even if it's the best.
now now, not ALL of us are the same. you just havent met the right one

Slipswitch, take it from another guy, not a woman. Many, but not all women are going to tell you what you want to here. Truthfully dude, women who try to manipulate you (which is what they are doing) are only after themselves. They could care less about you, your views, your thoughts, your dreams. For them they see themselves only in the mirror, not the person inside. But you know slipswitch its men like you who should blame yourself. You are attracted to women like these. As long as women like these have men who want them, they will never change.

well you see she may love your qualities however she may not like what you quality is made of. you see a women is complex like for example okay she loves your income but she doesnt like the hours you spend at work to make that income. you understand its the same thing.
