women understand being a woman best''

however, as women are complex and unique individuals,,those closest to an individual woman, probably know her best

I have a sister, whom I did not grow up with, and so though we are both women and related,,, I'm sure her friends and spouse understand her much better than I do

I am a woman, and even I don't 'get' some of them..but then I am not around a lot of women either.
My two closest girlfriends are dead now..so I am left with 'acquaintances' - females, I've known for 30 years or more..with whom I am not ready to 'get'..
I enjoy being around them, visiting, and sharing a common interest and show support of what they are doing/into..
I don't 'get' the females who are vindictive, two-faced, selfish,gold diggers, to name a few..
and really, who ever knows anyone?

Even when lesbians are talking about their relationships , you hear very similar tales of misunderstanding and miscommunication. It would appear that these tendencies are not gender specific

You are correct of course, the question was never meant to be taken seriously.
All human beings are unique, so someone who talks of 'women' as though they were referring to a single person, or 'men' likewise, is simply being silly.

Some women are just as sexist in this regard as some men are.

Let's just say it's up to the individuals.

I have to go with this^.

Generally I don't think women get me, nearly as often as men because I have more close men friends than female, and I sure do not get how some women act at all; so, I can't give a lot of credence to women understanding women. Maybe some do and just use it to their advantage but if they actually understood each other it seems like they would have teamed up better for mutual goals.

I think a lot of the so called "professionals" are hucksters pretending to understand.

But some men do not get women at all. When I was younger I used to think that was they could not get past thinking with their little head but more often now I just think it is because they have been so messed up by who they listen to they don't know what to think. Really bad when it is a parent or sibling that has done a hatchet job on their view of women.

Perhaps the person in the mirror looking back at them?

Awe...Good answer but maybe not even them at times.

I suspect many psychologists would say the person in the mirror is the least likely to understand.

I would suggest we also recognize that it's very important to explain what we mean by "understand" with this question.

Lots of especially younger males, when they talk of "understanding," mean simply "know what to do and say to get laid by any woman we target."

Others mean "communicate with them well enough to more commonly than not, enjoy the intellectual as well as physical interactions."

And of course, there's the version of "understand" which translates to "have a ready sarcastic joke to use to show disdain and superiority over everyone else at all times."

It took me over three decades to understand one women well enough to figure out what happened with her, and I might still be learning more later.

And of course, on the highest level, the use of the phrase "understand women," by itself indicates that the person talking about the subject is clueless. No one can "understand women" or "understand men," in the sense that by knowing them, any individual can be readily predicted.

Well it's official, you can't win...

Michigo the third........whatever.....

Ditto~~~~ see it all the time~~~~


But as far as the question why in the hell does anyone try to understand anyone??? Let people be who they are and enjoy the company~~~

Which version do you fall into?

Womens sexual desire is different and women are wired differently. Women are more likely to desire pleasing their partner than just simply enjoying themselves whereas men rarely get past their own sexual intensity to concern the experience of their partners Thus a woman may be less inclined to sleep with a man for just his looks whereas many men would not care if she were MR as long as she were sexually attractive and available...Research also demonstrates that men have many more sexual partners than women attesting to differential levels of physical needs and often lack of emotional connection so frequently exhibited by women ..Thus mens desire for biotches is a function of their physical and sexual nature which is different from women who seek a different sexual context usually with emotional,spiritual and financial consideratiions too...

back in the day I learned that men were the Hunters and females were the Gatherers - men were not both..
thank gawd the man I was with for 34 years took my thoughts/ideas into consideration before proceeding with whatever..and vice/versa

Women are very easy to understand, men are the ones to over complicate things.

Meanwhile, back in this universe . . .

think you are doing pretty good spending a lifetime
in trying to understand one woman

her personality, her moods, nuances, the tone of her voice
her facial expressions, the way she stands and looks at you



and of course, she can spend her life getting to know you
