SadandConfusedWA Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 This annoys me so much. I see my brother and his friends constantly discussing it. It's funny that if a girl is very interested in them and thus does something overly-emotional - she is labeled as crazy straight away. If a girl is not interested enough and thus gives mixed signals - she is again labeled as crazy. The way I see it, when two people are dating and there is a discrepancy in their interest levels - the person who cares more is going to act more emotional and thus risks being perceived as "crazy". But this is true for both sexes. I see equal number of guy posters on here in unrequited love situations and doing "crazy", needy and clingy things. Yet, girls are FAR less likely to label a guy as crazy. Last guy I dated was on the needy side. When I broke things off with him, he was up all night and has sent me close to 20 texts. Keep in mind that we have only been out a few times. I never even thought "this guy is crazy". I kind of felt bad that I hurt him. Yet, I bet you that if I was up all night texting some guy 20 times - he would tell all his friends "OMG this chick is insane!" So yeah guys, please ease up on the crazy labels
Star Gazer Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I subscribe to the concept that every woman is crazy, as is every guy. You just gotta figure out what brand of crazy you are, and find someone who likes your particular label.

InceptorsRule Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 The most girls are crazy myth This annoys me so much. I see my brother and his friends constantly discussing it. Ask them if they're including you as one of the crazy girls.
Dante311 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I'm sorry.. I saw your Location... wicked wonderland!!!! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love: SENSATION! marry me?
MrNate Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I'm sorry.. I saw your Location... wicked wonderland!!!! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love: SENSATION! marry me? Stop whoring yourself! You're creeping in on my territory. Don't make me turn 'alpha like' in here.
Dante311 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Stop whoring yourself! You're creeping in on my territory. Don't make me turn 'alpha like' in here. LOL. "When two meat heads (with above average intellect) collide! Tonight only - 8/7c, only on your local LS network" much (no homo) love MrNate
meerkat stew Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Women aren't crazy, but many of them refuse to put effort into developing the consistency of character and mental discipline necessary to resist being tossed about life as if adrift in a sea of uncontrollable emotion. This causes those with this failing to seem mentally unstable in men's eyes. This is equally the fault of men who coddle and indulge women. You see a variant of it in play here and other anonymous net places where certain women expect to be able to say any old preposterous thing, to insult freely while bristling at any return treatment, and have it blindly accepted as if they were standing in front of a typical, live audience of adulating, supplicating men. They aren't
Ruby Slippers Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Stop whoring yourself! You're creeping in on my territory. Don't make me turn 'alpha like' in here. I was about to say, this dude is spreading himself around the room FAST. You know I love you, Dante. You, too, MrNate.
Ruby Slippers Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Men have been calling women crazy for centuries. Women's "hysteria", the witch trials. Best to taunt them in response.
Simon Attwood Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Jung once said "show me a sane man, and I will cure him for you". This goes for women too. I don't believe in sanity. Life has taught me to question the whole concept of a taxonomic division between sane and insane. And study has backed that up. But it is quite natural, that when you are on one side of a wall, you will focus on those on the other side and form opinion and theory about them, without really focusing on your own side of the wall.
that girl Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I know some guys will occasionally say this as kind of a joke and that isn't necessarily a big deal. But if he actually chalks up serious behavior (rather than say, owning 70 pairs of shoes) as female craziness, he just doesn't respect women as people. Differing interest levels can drive you crazy, but it doesn't actually mean the other person is crazy.
jamesum Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 We think over emotional women are crazy while over emotional men are 'pussies'.
Woggle Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Try dating women and you will see there is much truth to this. Not all women but the stuff many of them pull can only lead to one conclusion. It seems that even with smart and accomplished women all common sense and logic flies out the window when it comes to love.
that girl Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Yes Woggle, it is clear that women are crazy. Just look at sane examples of maleness like you. It isn't like you hold completely psychotic views about women and regularly bash women despite the presence of good women in your life. Oh wait......
Woggle Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Not all women but how do you explain somebody that loses all common sense over a married man?
InceptorsRule Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Not all women but how do you explain somebody that loses all common sense over a married man? LOL. Many so-called "crazy" women are generally better described as "crazy like a fox." The seemingly "irrational" behavior is simply a manipulation tactic for the most part. It keeps the "adversary" off-balance and not knowing what to expect, defensive. That's what's intended. However perhaps many women don't do this consciously for the most part as they've been socialized thoroughly in these kinds of manipulative behaviors. The men who are joking and laughing about so-called "crazy women" should change that attitude because it causes them to underestimate what and who they are dealing with. Obviously if someone's behavior is so unbalanced that they are actually "crazy" then the solution is to have nothing to do with such people. But that's not really what most guys like OP's bro. are talking about is it? It may SEEM like a woman who is cheating with a married man has "lost all common sense" but in most cases she's simply acting in a very manipulative and calculated manner. Cheating, esp. over an extensive period, DEMANDS precise manipulation and calculation to avoid discovery. EVERYTHING is calculated with precision. Of course you also run into the issue of women who are cheating but WANT the disclosure--on their terms of course--so as to "push" the illicit relationship in one direction or another. The whole "walk away wife" syndrome often discussed here is largely a symptom of the underlying ability of many women to be coldly calculating.
The Collector Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Many so-called "crazy" women are generally better described as "crazy like a fox." Hah, agreed. And some are crazy like bat-sh*t, and some aren't crazy at all.
Cee Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 I admit it, I am one of those crazy women. Or maybe I should say "was," I dunno. I saw my emotional unbalance as a huge problem that I removed myself from the dating world. I sanded smooth the edges of my emotional lability. With the help of medication, therapy, spirituality, journaling, and long walks on the beach, I have reached emotional balance. My emotions are rolling hills now instead of roller coaster jumps. When I'm angry, I look within to the source of my distress instead of taking it out on a door. I never PMS. I am amiable, pleasant, non-judgmental, and welcoming of criticism and feedback. I have become low drama: I rarely gossip (except to tell a story about myself), act reasonable when people are upset, and when I get rejected, I feel quietly sad. And with my new self, I was ready to dive back into the dating pool. And belly flopped. I attribute my lack of success in dating to one main thing: I'm so f*cking boring!!! Even this post is boring.
Gallaxia Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 (edited) It involves a great deal of denial. Quick to throw out a label to remove responsibility from themselves. It's funny because they judge the action without realizing or acknowledging that it's really a reaction (usually to the labeler's action), in some way... Ex: You're driving and cut someone off. They honk their horn at you and curse. In turn, you get mad and flick them off. Are we just going to skip over the part where you cut them off in the first place? Edited September 5, 2010 by Gallaxia

They aren't I refuse to coddle truely anoying women. But many men date FAT, CRAZY women so it will continue
