I haven't read all these posts but I'm gonna put my two cents in anyhoo. First of all let me say that I am generalizing here, and of course there are exceptions, but...
The reason there are so many threads for women and not for men is simple. Women are complex, emotional, completely illogical and insane.
Men, on the other hand, are the simplest creatures on Gods Green Earth. We're not smart enough to be mysterious, we just want to BE. If you women are having a hard time figuring out guys its because youre trying too hard.
Here are the two things that I think drive a spike between the genders:
1. Women emotionalize, men analyze (or sometimes don't think at all). I've been in so many fights with a girl because I'm talking about what 'makes sense' and she's talking about what 'feels right in her heart'. Either that or the girl wants to keep talking about feelings 2 hours after the fights over and the guy just wants to watch the Simpsons.
2. Reading into things the other says (or not). Women will sometimes play coy. You know damn well they got something more to say, but you ask them "whats the matter" and they go "sniff, oh nothing". Its like pulling freakin teeth to get at whats in their head sometimes! Men are different though. We're so good at putting our foot in our mouth we have no reason to hold anything back. The problem here is that we often treat each other as the same gender. Men will assume women have nothing more to say once they clam up, just because we wouldn't. Women, on the other hand, always think we're not telling them something, when the sad truth is that all thats floating around in our brains after a deep discussion is video games, hamburgers, and Homer Simpson.
Bottom line...Men are simple creatures, stop treating us as if we're complex females and you will be fine.

Please elaborate on what u mean by men only being sble to think bout one thing at a time???, because thats the most obsured thing i hve ever heard..where did u get that from????
secondaly- why do men think women are soo mesterious?
the answer is because you are, the way that a man and a women think is different, men are more direct, to the point, if i dont like something i say "i dont like that"..pretty simple, women on the other hand give what are commonly called "signals" they say something, whatever it may be, thenm they expect that a man will be able to see what they are saying, and to a man, it seems like jibberish...to himself he is saying wtf was she talking about...women and mens thought process are signifigantly different, as such women dont find men "mesterious" in the same way as men find women "mysterious", this is because men are direct...to the point, they try to leave nothing to guessing....
do men think about sex more then women???
i dont know cause im not a women...and heres the real question...does this even matter?
and Creechuur i agree with ur first point..yes i have fought with girls about the same thing...men are what i like to call "logical thinkers" we use information, we make it make the most sence possible, then we make desisons based on that. where as yes women overanalize this soooooo much that they do not see the simple logic in a situation....the fail to see the whole picture because they are still trying to figure out that one little detail that most of the time is irrelivent anyways...
oh..and to follow my prevoius points..please at least try to look at the WHOLE PICTURE rather then a single detail....otherwiese we will end up in the same arguments that me and Creechuur were talking about, and i might add that it is impossible to reason with a women when they get into this state of lind..at least from a mans point of view..
Hey now, what I was doin was just explaining a couple of the main differences between our genders...what youre doin is maybe a bit closer to women bashing. I love women! When I say theyre insane, I mean it in a very loving way.
Just because a woman is not on the same train of thought you are on, her feelings or thoughts are not 'irrelevent', they just have different priorities. Its not about which way is better, its about understanding why the opposite sex is reacting the way they are, so that you can better understand them and not have fights and stuff. Oftentimes both the analytical and emotional positions are right, but neither sex will compromise enough to see it. You gotta compromise your own precious, infallible view sometimes.
The Anomaly> have you considered writing just one single post?
I didn’t say able to think about only ONE thing. I said focus on.
No, women as the entire gender is not mysterious. What gives you the idea that women can’t be as “to the point” as you? I’m famed (infamous) for my assertion among my friends.
Men give “signals”, too. Just go and read the “Calling all guys” thread, were a girls is desperately trying to interpret her bf’s signals.
So you’re not only generalising women to a point of absurdity. You’re doing the same with men, who can – btw – be as obscure as you claim all women are.
And believe you ME – I find some men quite mysterious, understood in the sense that I cannot figure out what’s going on in their heads.
”do men think about sex more then women???
i dont know cause im not a women...and heres the real question...does this even matter?”
Yes, it does. Because I think we do, but it’s not ”allowed”, culturally” for women.
”and Creechuur i agree with ur first point..yes i have fought with girls about the same thing...men are what i like to call "logical thinkers".”
But it’s okay for you to be controlled by your ”Other head” when the mood comnes to you? How is that logical? Women can be even more logical than men, AND practical, too.
You accuse women of overanalysing? Perhaps your problem is that you cannot handle the shades of grey? Things are seldom as simple as you try to make them out to be.
“and as for that whole state of the world crap...i think that thats nonsence too...”
Why? Men rule the world, and look at the state of said world. Are the rulers not responsible????
How much time do I have to change the world in? Do I have 12.000 years?
Men are as impossible to reason with as you claim women are? Your inability to see shades may actually be what causes the problem. That – AND your claim that you cannot argue with a woman once she reaches “a certain stage”. It’s my experience that some men run out of arguments and resort to exactly that kind of moaning.
All> It’s difficult to get around history and culture. But how different are we really?
"But it’s okay for you to be controlled by your ”Other head” when the mood comnes to you? How is that logical? Women can be even more logical than men, AND practical, too."
The keyword here is CAN be. As in occasionally can be more logical then a particular man. For the most part, the majority women are too emotional to be considered logical or practical. Also, women are famous for weaving a thread of misleads so thick that they often can't even comprehend them. They often say one thing, but want another thing, and mean even another thing. In the end they end up not only confusing us, but themselves, then it's the mans fault for "not getting it".
I also think the state of the world argument is follie. I really doubt that if women ran things they'd be any better. They may be for a while, but once a month for about 4 days everything would go straight to hell in a handbag. I've seen plenty of "logical" women turn from perfectly acceptable, reasonable beings into raving savages of pain during their periods. I've been yelled at over asking a girl "how much does that cost?". God forbid that one of the female world leaders call another one fat or something, then missiles would be launched all over the world. Of course, everything would then be solved by all the female world leaders getting together to eat Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream and watch The View and Operah.
Seriously though, rather the world was run by men or women, the same problems would probably exist. Because as I said before, men or women, we're all human, and we're all going to screw up badly regardless.
Anyways, enough of that serious stuff. Here's some funny quotes about women.
"Have you ever been driving around and you ask your woman to do something trivial and suddenly it turns into a civil rights movement? Why is everything a power struggle with women? I was driving around with my friend and his girlfriend the other day when he simply asked her to make a left turn, then she suddenly flipped out and started bitching about being controlled. Good job moron, I'm sure bull-dyke feminists everywhere are creaming their pants because of your political crusade against oppression, but there are certain times when taking a stand to prove your stupid point is inappropriate. Like when you're going to MISS THE TURN and make us late to the movie, you dumb *****!
That reminds me of those bumper stickers I've been seeing a lot of lately. They're yellow with red print: "***** ON BOARD." Yeah, trust us, we know you're a *****, you don't need the bumper sticker. Then they also think it's cute and/or funny to have one of those bumper stickers that say "I have PMS 24/7." Thanks for the warning"
Here's a list of some things a "perfect guy" would do, and what they really mean.
1. "Know how to make you smile when you are down!
When will women realize that they don't live on the set of a romantic comedy? Unless making you smile involves me playing video games while you cook me a steak, you're in for a disappointment. You don't think guys ever feel "down?" The door swings both ways, *****.
Stick up for you, but still respects your independence.
Translation: bail you out when you fail at life, but never bring it up during conversations
Come up behind you and put his arms around you.
LAME. Who has time for this? Sounds like something out of a herpes commercial where some lady is rock climbing or doing something else which symbolizes her independence, then out of nowhere she blurts out "I HAVE HERPES." The music gets all serious and you hear a voice over "...there is no cure," cue inspirational music "but treatment is available." Then it cuts to a shot of the ***** on a beach and a guy runs up behind her and puts his arms around her. Good job dumbass, you're dating a skank with herpes.
Be cute when he really wants something.
Bullshit. When I want something, I yell. If she can't hear me in the kitchen, sometimes I'll threaten beatings if I'm sober.
React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.
See, this is what pisses me off about women: they expect special treatment at their discretion. They want equal rights, equal pay, and equal treatment for everything EXCEPT when it comes to shit like this, then they want you to "react cutely" instead of, say, putting them in a head lock and making them eat ants and/or spiders while you give them carpet burn. Why don't women react "cutely" when men hit them for a change? Oops, I forgot, that's domestic abuse.
Stare at you.
You stupid attention seeking whore, just buy the ***** a mirror, because apparently she thinks that you don't have anything better to do than to sit around and stare at her. If women ran the world, we'd still be searching for the wheel. "

But yeah, both sexes blow real bad. Neither is better then the other.
