ptp Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I know what women don't like but, have no idea what they do like. Not sure what that says about me.
Feelin Frisky Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I do pretty well. Some automatically think me "safe" though. I'm not.
thatone Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 i like to think i get the woman i'm with. women in general? sometimes. i can figure things out given time to analyze, but it's often difficult on the spot, hormones get in the way. i can pick up on moods regardless, that's not a problem for me. and reading moods does in fact go a long way. and yes, as someone else said, men simplify things. in fact we take pride in simplifying things. every possible scenario has 2 or 3 options that you choose to follow it's just a matter of picking one, that's how i handle everything, whether it be with women or professional situations, etc. things i can't control are no different. define worse case scenario, best case scenario, likely scenario, and act on whichever happens, that's it.
torn_curtain Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 There are many men I don't relate to well, but when I find a guy I relate to the connection is really strong.
eerie_reverie Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I feel at ease with most men. Women are a different story.
marlena Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I think I relate very well to men until I get into a relationship with them that is. That's a whole different ball game! And if I live with them, well, then I know they are from Mars!
Stockalone Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 How well do you get people of the opposite sex? Do you understand the complexities and inner workings that go beyond the stereotypes? I can get along with women in a work environment and I can also get along with the wives and girlfriends of my friends. But everything that goes beyond that and requires a deeper understanding about women isn't my strong suit. I don't understand women, they are still a closed book to me.
GoodOnPaper Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 How well do you get people of the opposite sex? Do you understand the complexities and inner workings that go beyond the stereotypes? In situations where there are clear boundaries -- work-related, talking with friends' wives/girlfriends, etc. -- I'm fine. In purely social situations where the boundaries are fuzzy or non-existent, it's a different story. Particularly when it comes to attraction-related matters, I am just as clueless as I was when I was a teenager 25 years ago. Too many paradoxes to unravel -- very high pressure . . .
