a man's mind is just another unexplored land.Sometimes a fascinating place,sometimes familiar territory reminding me of places I have been before,sometimes a jungle and sometimes .......well I am still waiting for my next adventure,havent found the promised land yet.Freya Stark

I wouldn't say I understand women any more than I do men personally. People are people and we are complicated creatures. There will be double standards regardless of gender. Referring to the post on the thread in Girl's Ask... Blaming anyone, let alone a whole gender for the way we are is a cop out.For a laugh, I had a look on facebook to see if there was a "the problem with men... is women' page and I'm delighted to say it is so. It's too easy to blame someone else for the way we are. The brave thing is taking responsibility for ourselves!Peachy

I don't even understand woman all the time so fucked If I understand men. All I know about men is when case is closed it's closed. They fix things and when it fixed that's it. Don't change your mind don't say what if. They don't care it's over and out ... next problem.... ..and in fact do we have to? <

they can do several things at once...did I mention that they change their minds frequently, they are experts at giving birth and are not backward in coming forward. Oh yes, and they change their minds frequently.Men, on the other hand, have one-track minds, will normally only be able to do one thing at a time,...one thing at a time...one thing at a time...*ding*...change the light-bulb....change the light bulb...change the light bulb...*ding*...turn on the tv...turn on the tv...etc etc etcAnd before i forget, women have memories which put elephants to shame whilst men have very short memories...ummm...I can't remember, did I mention that women change their mind frequently...

We are all different, personally, there are people, men and women, who I feel that I do understand and people I really, really don't. I have a slightly better understanding of the women around me than the men and I quite like that. It's about a commonality of experience. I like discovering who someone is, even with people I know really well, it's an ongoing process.

Is it helpful to think of "men" and "women", when inside each category is so much grey? I'm a visual, top-down thinker, who is interested in the feeling of things. That is very different to the next bloke who is about making hard judgements based on detail and numbers, say. ...except that "fix it" thing, that is a common thread, isn't it?- Posted from rhpmobile

I will not say I understand the male completely how can anyone understand anybody completely. However I understand them better then women, but I grew up with more men around me then women. I am comfortable in the presence of males too. I have also two sons and no daughters, so again its all so different in a household with only boys then girls. I think to I would have never made it as a mum with girls. I know this is a silly statement, but I prefer boys to girls as a mum. Yes boys can get tantrums but you have a good fight, verbal only, with you mother and its over and finished. Does this make sense? In a way I prefer how men are dealing with problems more, they are not pussyfooting around you can say fuck off to them and they are not pissed of. Most women are moody, ask my poor boss, I think he is sometimes so overwhelmed by all our hormones. I am smiling now I have a male assistant and believe it or not this changed the whole atmosphere in the office quite traumatically, you wouldn’t t believe it. What difference another male in the team does. I have to say I like working with him, yes sure he is a male and sometimes dominate but it will level it self out after a bit. I acknowledge he is much better then me in dealing with maintenance and this makes it then easier for me, and I can concentrate on what I am better at. So working as a female/ male team is a wonderful balance. I think men are in a way easier to read then women, most men are straight out no nonsense and I really like it. That my bit to it.

don't really understand women. I don't claim to understand men, but I often get along better with them because in general they're not as bitchy and back-stabbing as women can be.

Please be understanding...spelling error my behalf..The question should read... "Do men and women really UNDERSTAND each other??" Foxy - Posted from rhpmobile

I believe we can come to a state where we understand each other to a point. But, due to the plethora of factors that influence a persons mindset at any given time it would be impossible to say you have a complete understanding of anyone really, regardless of gender.

There's a thousand threads on here that will attest to the fact that neither men nor women understand the other sex. Personally there's some men i understand very well and there's some women i understand very well.....and then there are those of both sexes that are so far from my ballpark that i haven't a hope in hell!! (notice i said MY ballpark - it's more about a lack of shared experiences, no commonality in our view of the world) I love learning about people, hearing their story and hopefully relating to that story in some way. The fun is in the discovery. Generally i like people, men and women, for the richness they bring into my life and life is all about the relationships, the connections, the learning to understand each other.

Men will always want to be understood and will try to make that so..Women will not want to be understood and will stand in the way..Tragic but often so..~laughs~

Both parties "WANT" to be UNDERSTOOD by each other. Just like how women get women and men get men...that unwritten code/law between each sex.. I know I want to be understood by men.. and I know I want to understand men a lot better than I do. Foxy - Posted from rhpmobile

NO, life needs it's mysteries and if you are true to yourself and who you are and they don't like you then at least that is understood. An old cattle station hand said to me recently "their just a different breed of cattle is all" he said he and his wife never really understood each other but they get on really well, go figure.

Quoting 'Luckdragon23'don't really understand women. I don't claim to understand men, but I often get along better with them because in general they're not as bitchy and back-stabbing as women can be. Try travelling around Australia and Overseas with just men from a Sporting Team and then put them together with men from other Sporting Teams and you will definately not say this!!!!!! Although I did this for over 15 years...I was over the bitchy/backstabbing men by half way through the first Season! And sometimes you don't even need to travel to see it...You just have to wait for the match to start and sometimes even before! They did my head in!!!! xFunlovingx

I think I understand women, I have a 'WTF just happened' moment! Or an 'I just stepped in it didn't I' moment. You don't know what you don't know. You usually find that out when it's too late. I love women, but they are the advanced diploma that I will never finish. Secrets

Women? Most are back stabbing bitches! Especially at work...

When women have a conversation, they're communicating on five levels. They follow the conversation that they're actually having, the conversation that is specifically being avoided, the tone being applied to the overt conversation, the buried conversation that is being covered only in subtext, and finally the other person's body language.That’s like having a freaking superpower. When people with a Y chromosome have a conversation, they are having a conversation. Singular. We’re paying attention to what is being said, considering that, and replying to it. So, ladies, if you ever have some conversation with your boyfriend or husband or brother or male friend, and you are telling him something perfectly obvious, and he comes away from it utterly clueless? I know it’s tempting to think to yourself, “The man can’t possibly be that stupid!”But yes. Yes, he can.For crying out loud, we have to turn down the radio in the car if we suspect we’re lost and need to figure out how to get where we’re going. That’s how impaired we are. I’m telling you, we have only the one conversation. Maybe some kind of relationship veteran can do two, but that’s pushing the envelope. Five simultaneous conversations? Five? That just isn’t going to happen. - From Cold Days by Jim Butcher

...bloody generalizing along gender lines. Then maybe we'll all stop striving to live up to those generalizations?.. I'm sure much of how people behave is learned rather than genetic?..But a good point was raised above. How can someone understand you if you're struggling to understand your self? Who here understands them selves?I recon I'm mostly there. Occasionally I confuse me self though ~smiles~

My step father has been married to three women and has only been without a wife for six months of the past forty years, those six months were between the time my mother died and marrying his third wife. I have no idea how his mind works. :-(

Quoting 'OneEmerald' Quoting 'Luckdragon23' don't really understand women.

Women? Most are back stabbing bitches! Especially at work... tell me about it....I've worked in a few female-dominated workplaces and have noticed this in every one. One in particular was really bad, good when I first started working there but once structural changes and staff reductions started in the organisation the environment became more and more toxic; just constant malicious gossip, bitching behind people's backs, undermining, and mind games. It got even worse when we were given a female manager who was a bully and a narcissist, and eventually I was happy to take a voluntary redundancy and get out of there. And please don't any women jump down my throat for bagging the sisterhood or anything like that. I'm NOT saying that all women are like that. It's another generalisation, and I know plenty of fantastic women who I can see eye to eye with and who don't go in for all those mind games and malicious personal attacks.
