Women – We’re so mysterious
Answers men would like to give to women’s stupid questions (I’ll abstain from making the obvious comment here, just something about answering stupid questions us stupid 😉).So now, ladies, it’s our turn. And there are a few question I’d like to start asking:
Do you think it’s true that men can only focus on a single thing at a time?
Is that why men think women are so mysterious (as we CAN focus on more than one thing at a time), and:
Do you think men think more about sex than women do (or do they simply HOPE that we don’t think about it as often – Eyes Wide Shut come to mind)?
Women concentrate on several things at once and end up dead. (trying to drive, talk on the cell phone and put on make up all at once, bravo, you're a walking disaster waiting to happen) Men can do the same, but we choose to concentrate on one or two things and do those things well.
Also, I think men think about sex way more then women.
Linkalicious> Syren? No, I don’t know who that is… Is that good or bad? 😉
“yeah it's like...just because we don't drive, talk on a cell phone, and put on make-up...while b!tching at our significant other....apparently we don't multi-task.”
😆 Sorry – than just put an imagine in my mind that shouldn’t be there…
Ush> Don’t you think that perhaps it is simply more ACCEPTED for men to openly admit to be thinking of sex often than it is for women? It’s like the old “a man who sleeps with a lot of women is a real stud, a women who sleeps with a lot of men is a hore?”
So for us – women – to show our sexual instincts (as you call them) can easily label us in a negative direction.
Dace123> Then again… Plastic surgery and the cosmetics business lives more or less off of women.
Fire> Ah, exactly!!! You’re getting to my point before I could make my grand conclusion. I agree 100 % with you. You cannot classify a person simply based on gender. I know men who I’m having a hard time figuring out, men who can definitely focus on more than one thing at a time, and who seems to think about sex a lot less often than I do.
I suppose it’s just another “us vs them” thing in our culture. We’ve had nation vs nation, white vs black, West vs East, etc etc etc.

It does seem as if we're automatically expected to team up against the other sex. Through history war metaphors have been used in art to describe love and the relation between the two sexes as though we're constantly in some kind of strange gender battle.
Why do guys flirt so much?? I don't get it 😑 I've tried figuring out what goes on in your heads, but it's just so damn complicated...
I mean, do they like ONE girl at a time and flirt with all? Or do they just like them all?? 😖
And if you talk to a girl alot, and you're both good friends, but you have a crush on someone else, how would you feel if that girl you had a crush on, told you that the girl who was your friend, liked you?
Would you start liking back the girl who's your friend?? Or would you continue liking the girl you had a crush on, even though she's already taken??
there, that's all i need to know for now ^^ 😄
tassie,
there's no easy answer to that question. You can't make something be what it's not. If a guy likes a girl, it depends on how much he likes her. No one can make someone love them simply by confessing their feelings for him/her.
In answer to your question, it depends on how much he likes the girl. If he has his heart "set" on her, chances are, he won't give up until she "kicks him to the curb."
It sux, doesn't it...

(I'm not talking about the entire male population mind you)
Line> Exactly. I’ll not necessarily team up with women just because they ARE women. I do not consider men to be my enemies – some men are fine, some are not. Same thing goes for women. WHY this gender-battle goes on kinda eludes me, though. Why? Does anyone have a clue?
Ush> Ah, but you can’t really prove that men are more “sexually obsessed” than women, can you? I think we are, actually. Just not in the same WAY as men. Why should women be less “obsessed” than men? As Nicole Kidman says in Eyes Wide Shut “You’d be surprised.” 😉
Dave123> Who says anything about NOT wanting men around? I don’t understand what you’re talking about? I actually like a lot of men…
Syren> No. Should I?
Tassie> Hm, quite a lot of girls flirt, too. You can’t get a single answer as to what goes on in boys/mens minds. Simply because what goes on in one guys mind won’t be going on in other boys/mens and vice versa. Can you find one common denominator?
What exactly IS flirting? I flirt (or what I’d call flirt) with male friends, who’re just my VERY good friends, without considering getting them to a quiet spot 🙂
Flirting is not seducing. BIIiiiig difference… ✅
Is it possible to love more than one person at a time? I think it is. Just not in the same way. Or perhaps we sometimes confuse love with lust – a common mistake among my gender I think.
For centuries we’ve been taught that the purpose of a woman’s life was to get married. Only during the latter part of the 20th century did women truly start to become liberated, and get a chance to decide for ourselves what we wanted to pursue, along with new children’s books and stories where the princess doesn’t just sit and wait for the prince, so young girls get a new view on life.
the only reason why this "battle" goes on is cause both sides are either stubborn to stop it, or when one does the other still continues, stupid hormones I guess😉
and it's kinda stupid if a girl says "guys think umpteen times about sex" or a guy saying the same about a girl, as long as you can't transfer into someone, you can't make such comments even if you continue to go on about observing and crap
personally, I think I do "light" flirting a lot, but that includes being nice to them and such, so nothing really ment or special

Why are men so scared of comitment? 😑
I don't speak for all guys out there but I like being in a comitted relationship with a person who I can trust and love. I think having a special person out there that you can rely on and having them rely on you is important. I personally would rather give my attention to that one girl out there that is right for me. 😄
