It's a macho thing or even an inferiority complex lol


Are men and women alike? We are more alike "below the neck" than we are "above the neck," if that gives you any idea of how different we really are.

The way these two genders see the world is so totally alien to the other that it requires an absolute suspension of disbelief for them to merge, usually brought on by an overpowering need for sex or love by at least one of them. It's only when one of the two is willing to hold their alien views in check long enough to actually see, feel and hear the other person that there is even a remote chance that these two will get to smell and taste each other...besides the other obvious thing.

If this isn't so, then why are we on the internet, barely making human contact, on this beautiful sunny Sunday? And spare me the sophomoric quips and self-serving excuses. Just admit you have no idea how the other gender sees the world and, as a result, have no adequate means of communicating with that gender, except by belittling them or flattering them.
u know i agree with your manlike opinions! i dig that honesty! i just wonder this i am nieve on.. so you continue on your words for a yr.. would they change? meaning your thoughts?

i agree with you to a point..i know men are different.. but perhaps is that just really different in the beginning?


Well, buttons, you can predict how your mate will react under certain conditions because that's based on empyrical evidence, meaning prior experiences; but this is at such a low level of consciousness that it's no better than understanding what your dog wants and needs. Most women have no idea how complex male thought is, because they think we're simple creatures with simple wants and needs (food and sex among others) and concentrate on fulfilling or denying these basic needs as a way of structuring and maintaining their female-viewed world.

From a male point of view, we simply see you as needful creatures, needing protection, needing love, needing security...which we provide as best we can, little realizing that you are far more complex than that. That's why we can't understand why you break down crying for no good reason (as we see it). Of course you have good reason. We just don't understand it, even when you explain it, because what's important to you in your hierarchy of needs is more complex than Maslow's simple definition of needs. The same goes for men.

It is only when we recognize that we will never understand each other that we have a small chance of coming together as equals.

To a point. Eventually when all the layers are peeled back, you aren't gonna be loving him because he is a "mucho man".

i find that quite appealing...... though not blunt.. most of which i dont find in men... but the effort is grand i must say!!! funny how men and women are so different! this i do try to at least learn...< not that i want to be a man! ha ha!> i do strive to learn them though and understand>

Men are sooo much more simpler than women...sorry sisters, it's true.
I've watched my sons grow from little boys to men. They really are simple and easy to please...

I'm not referring to the macho man, or the control freak. I'm referring to the average, everyday man...they really don't ask for much.

men are much more task focused, women tend to be view things from a wider ngle. Yes or no is fine for a guy, but women need more of a discussion. Learned this from having 9 sisters growing upnoway and raising a couple girls and boys

I guess some women really thinking too deep into what guys like. Always looking for back thoughts and plot As and Bs and motives that are hidden.

It really comes from, that many women start out from themselves and believe that guys must be similar.

In reality 98% of the guys are "what you see is what you get".

never assumed!but your output to me anyway is quite appealing. for maybe the best answer to my question.. of who a man really is! not sure though... for men maybe as different as women are different from each other!

does it always gotta be a plot? or perhaps do they really want to understand your thoughts?
