I said..."men don't know what they want EITHER"...as in...nobody knows what they want...so it's not really a generalization as much as it is a statement of observed fact. That's actually one of the most blatant generalizations of all. Unless, of course, you've spoken with every man on the planet in order to reach your conclusions about what men do or do not know. I would also disagree with your premise that "nobody knows what they want" -- while I would submit that this is true in many cases, the use of the word "nobody" is another overgeneralization not based in any sort of factuality. Right...and now you're being nit picky just to be nit picky and have nothing new or original to say. Am I guilty of generalizations...of course. Dare I say...we all are. There again, I don't spend all day with everyone on earth, so I can't actually say that...now can I? I'm being nitpicky because I have issues with overgeneralizations, going back some 10 years or so, since I started participating in dating sites and forums and such. All I'm saying is that the whole "Why are all men pigs?" and "Why are all women crazy," etc., threads that show up (pretty much constantly) are really, in the end, sort of pointless. Since they're not grounded in any sort of reality, since they have no other purpose than to allow one gender to blast away at the other, then wouldn't it make more sense to just sidestep the cliche and deal with whatever the REAL issues are? Reasons why I don't make broad statements like..."All men are pigs" or "All men are cheating jerks..." Cause not all men are. Just like ALL women aren't crazy, shoe hoarding, bad drivers...hahahah There was no deep seeded emotional connection to anything that I said in a generalizing manner. What I said was simply to illustrate, going back to the OP 1st message, was that men can't blame women for not know what they want, when a lot of men don't know what they want either. But in the grand tradition of things on any forum site...things get taken so far out of context and twisted so far around themselves that an orange ends up being a pretzel. But I digress....hahahaha Good luck finding your stegasaurus. |

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
well said..... |

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? Thats funny, I heard a similar phrase about men. Men get a woman who gives them 80 percent of their wants and needs, but when they meet a woman who gives the other twenty,,,,they stray. then they lose the 80 percent and are stuck with twenty. i think there is some truth to both phrases,,but they dont apply to everyone. Those people who live, learn, and grow, probably outgrow the insecurity and false priorities. |
