McFadden Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Some men always say that. Sometimes at really random times when nothing complicated is going on. It seems like they say it as a way to discount women or not have to deal with what women are actually saying. Like in a situation if a woman says something, the response will just be "women are complicated, I don't understand you." Also, when my male friends are confused about another female (I have almost all male friends) always come to me to ask for "the advice of the woman" as if I will automatically know what the other female is thinking and have something mystical to say or something. I never have anything to say that a male wouldn't be able to figure out. They are just psyched out and think they can't. I am a very simple woman, a simpleton actually. Everything I do is straightforward and I always tell everyone why I am doing everything I do. I am getting confused with why people say I am complicated. Does anyone experience this? Any males who think all women really are complicated? Why?
LoveLace Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I have ALWAYS heard men say we are "complicated". The truth is though, we do analyze things more and we are more emotional, on the surface anyway. Especially now that women are so much more independent, and stronger willed when it comes to what we want and how we want it. It only makes it harder for men "get" us. Men are very literal. They see things as it is, but we are more likely to dig deeper on certain subjects. In their eyes, this makes us "complicated". They claim to be "simple"...but if it comes to things like relationships, they really are not so simple. Men play games too. They try to act "macho" around women, which is actually hiding their true selves, and they claim to be simple!

I have heard some guys call a girl complicated if they can't get her into bed right away. To them if she is not easy, then she is automatically complicated.
nicki Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 "Complicated" can mean that a guy just can't figure out a woman because she is unpredicatable and he really wants her and is challenged by her. (A good "complicated.") Or "Complicated" can mean the woman was not interested in the guy one bit and blew him off, crushing his ego....hence, she was "too complicated."
nicki Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Of course, it "complicated" could also mean she was a nut job and he is being thoughtful by not defaming her character.
Curmudgeon Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Any males who think all women really are complicated? Why? 'Cause they are! They don't come with assembly instructions, operating manuals, guarantees or warrantees. How are we supposed to know how they're put together, how to make them work, how to repair them and where to get them fixed or exchanged if they break? Oh, that's right. We're men. We don't read instructions or ask directions anyway. Silly me!
IpAncA Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Well I don't think were complicated. It's the men that make it complicated, lol!
Jinxx Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I don't think women are anymore complicated then men.

Any males who think all women really are complicated? Why? Speaking for myself, I've concluded that it depends. Some men are more complicated then women and vice versa.
norajane Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Men say women are complicated when they can't figure out how to get what they want from them.
alphamale Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Any males who think all women really are complicated? Why? many men think women are more complex because women tend to base their decisions and actions on emotions and feelings. this is an alien concept to many men. we tend to think in a more logical and linear way. here is an example: man thinks 2+2=4 woman thinks 2+2=whatever she "feels" at the moment understand?
VirtualInsanity Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 man thinks 2+2=4 woman thinks 2+2=whatever she "feels" at the moment That may be true for some but that's not straight across the board.
alphamale Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 That may be true for some but that's not straight across the board. where is it stated it applies to all VI??
VirtualInsanity Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 where is it stated it applies to all VI?? Sorry I see "many."
Trialbyfire Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Although I've always believed that men and women have the same basic needs in life, we approach almost everything in a different way. Look at the difference in problem resolution already discussed in a previous thread. Also, women are more emotional, some can control it, others turn into screaming, nattering females and the balance fall in the middle. Men try to approach things from what they believe is a logical approach, including relationships which are rarely logical, particularly the more volatile or passionate ones. Too bad sometimes the logical approach is solely from their own perspective with no or little consideration for the woman's perspective at all.
Woggle Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Women actually are quite simple once you crak the code. The reason why players do so well with women is because they have cracked the code. I probably know more than most men but women are still too complex in my book.

amaysngrace Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 I agree with those who've said some women are complicated because they act on emotion. But for some women men who act without feeling can be considered complicated as well. There has to be balance on both sides for it to work. Men and women both need to work at understanding the other and how we each operate. And if it's beyond our ability to understand then that's where acceptance comes in. Once you accept that which can't be changed, it's not really all that complicated anymore.
asnath Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 i am a woman and truth is we are complicated beings its not by choic, as other have said we are emotional beings and while man are more logical and what makes us are complicated scientically speaking its our hormonas, we tend not to react the same way when faced with the same situation, men are easier to be read as compared to woman, research has shown our hormonal change as woman ie. when experincing our periods and during pregnancies. I have learned that we have more grey matter when confronted with issues than man, ours tends to increase helping us to have a balance when confronted with issue this hormone is found behind our cortex.................... hey i am not a scientist but this information helped me to understand that we are not and will never ever think the same way or act the same, but with this findings i have learnt we can meet at a common ground.

I actually find that some (repeat some) men are not nearly as logical as I am. The H claims I think in flow charts...... (not menstrual flow) I can take a look at something and think more logically than he can in many instances. I can also multi-task, something he finds to be a major challenge. The only time I get emotional is when I am not being heard or my thoughts are being disregarded by the listener....... that emotion that comes out is anger........ followed by a sharp tongue.......deadly sharp. I like to follow it up later down the road with a "I told ya' so" :lmao: If people would learn to hit the help button on their SO's they would find that they are not so complicated. Simply ask if you don't know how to meet a need, or what they need. ***Communication reduces complications in approximatley 90% of relationships according to the latest study from the institute of "I don't know why she is like that".
