i've been trying to get my gf to get into growing too, it's just with working full time and raising a 3 yold, there's not a whole lot of time. Also, she doesn't have a whole lot of patience for sitting down and reading through all the info. Not saying this about women in general, just the particular case of my gf. Would probably be different if she was as passionate as me about the growing, and really that's what it's all about, the passion.
I think that she could be a very good grower however, and NOT because she's "motherly" (which she is). She has given me good advice in my grow, mainly "quit messing with those damn plants and just let them grow".
Mogie- I had no idea you were a female (by product of the sexist mindset of our society), I think you serve as a great example to those who question a womans ability to grow.
Oh and on what a woman wants in a man, most self-confident emotionally healthy women want a man who recognizes that they are important and contributive individuals and members of society that are as valuable as any other individual. Women who want a man who will degrade them and belittle them usually have some deep rooted psycological self-esteem issues which cause them to be comforted by the lack of control, but thats a whole new can of worms.
interesting thred though (not really about the growing, just the broad spectrum of opines about the male-female dynamic in our society)
