i was once told a very good phrase, and after recent events in my life iam startin to believe it is true. The 80/20 "80% of woman dont know what they want, and the other 20% are trying to figure out if they made the right decision" Now this may be just the age group to which i correspond (seeing as woman in my age change their life like they do their hair color) however what does everyone else think?

I think men should stop making statistical generalizations about women and what they want and instead pay closer attention to being thoughtful. But that's just my .02. Cause...even when we tell you what we want...you manage to make it into us being picky, nagging, or not appreciating what you do for us. Which just isn't the case. So...80/20? Who cares... Men don't know what they want either...you boys are walking contradictions.

I honestly think 20% of the women change their minds 80% of the time and most statistics are acurate 13% of the time. While 80% of the women think 20% of the women change there minds 80% to many times...... Thats all I gots to say

If you read that online, then it's true.

lmfao!!!! holy crap def' not a good topic to start without gettin flamed mmmm okay. well to patch things up i didnt really mean to generalize or set a 'statistical percent' on what woman want/need. IMO if you result into thinking the 80/20 is true due to your last relationship and or experiences then it was your own dam fault hahaha, if your significant other knew wat they had then theyd have no thoughts (80/20). anyways....lol thanks for your heavy/QUICK responces

If you don't want differing, honest responses to your opinions, it's best not to post them on a public forum.

The point was why was he worrying about some 80/20 factoid instead of trying to learn something about women and relationships. No one actually KNOWS what they want. It's like being in line at the biggest buffet and starving. You don't want to make the wrong choice...but on the other hand...that mac and cheese looks amazing.

personally i think men and women make their minds up on the first look. then we tell our selves it`s a decision based on friendship personality etc. the relationships built on friendship is an other kettle of fish. are they just settling for mr/miss right here right now? how honest are we to our selves?
