Mrlonelyone Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I just saw this video where someone decides to break down this joke clip from Family guy. Men - We don't know what we did - YouTube Now this will be of interest to Loveshack's men because it speaks to many of the miscommunications in a somewhat funny way.

Author Mrlonelyone Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Moral of the story: Don't date highschool girls? Nah. He goes into the fact that plenty of women beyond high school act that way too. 1
Els Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 The women who do, have not matured past high school. Seriously. I've not seen anyone act like this past high school.
silicone Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 The women who do, have not matured past high school. Seriously. I've not seen anyone act like this past high school. I have. They were the ones who cheated on their boyfriends/husbands on me with when I was clubbing last year. No more soup for me, had enough of women.

No more soup for me, had enough of women. Lets not get started about people who think that's a good position to be in. @elswyth I am sure you are right about them having not matured out of high school, at least when it comes to romance. The first adult women I knew to act this way were two female teachers I had affairs with when I was 16 going on 17. Looking at it from an age older than 25 now I see how silly some people still are well past their highschool years. This beggs the question Is it really in the nature of women to play games and overreact to tiny cues and clues while expecting men to see the world the way they do?

It's made me paranoid and screwed up, but the cycle started before that. It started with my first two relationships ending because the girl cheated. Funnily enough, didn't happen with guys. 1

I agree with you, though women do things like this, just in a bit more mature way with my last girlfriend, we were in half priced books and she asked if I was ready to go, and I said no....a few minutes later she came over and said she was ready to leave and when she asked if I was ready to leave, she meant she was ready to leave...she wasnt mad or go crazy, but some women, at least that I've dealt with like to speak in "riddles" for lack of a better world
ThaWholigan Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hah, reminds me of this thread I made: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/dating/349611-why-man-takes-intiative

It's part of why the black and white contrast dichotomy that western culture gives the genders is total BS. How many women fail to take a more direct stance on what they want out of concern for being thought of as "manly"? How many men hide their emotions because they think it's feminine to be anything but hungry, horny, or angry?
Casablanca Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hah, reminds me of this thread I made: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/dating/349611-why-man-takes-intiative Lol, I read that and would have done exactly what your brother did, it wouldnt have turned into an argument, but I would have just told her to do what she wanted to do

They're perfect for each other . She's a nice girl though, she's good for him, I pray he doesn't lose her. I see.

It is a socially engineered stance in women, that the man has to know these things. It's important to make men aware but it's also important to allow men and women to alternate their approach to things occasionally should the circumstance call for it.
Divasu Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) So, how many women do you know in real life, broke down crying and then hurled herself out of a glass window when you've said "yeah, I'll see you there"? I'm guessing not many (that video is quite an exaggerated example). Get real. Edited December 28, 2012 by Divasu edit

But it is socially engineered in men to just be direct and think and act in direct questions and answers ...I have learned a few things and have improved, but I still make these misreadings from time to time 1
Author Mrlonelyone Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) So, how many women do you know in real life, broke down crying and then hurled herself out of a glass window when you've said "yeah, I'll see you there"? I'm guessing not many (that video is quite an exaggerated example). Get real. No but I've seen women have a total meltdown if a man dosen't read her thoughts. I mean to the point of things which contradict her stated desires. I've seen and heard women compalin about men not doing the exact opposite of what they asked the man to do. For my part, in dealing with women. It's women who have a female version of the gay/trans panic. They realize that what they thought they would never do actually turns them on. Then in a fit of self disgust and a storm of emotions they melt down. When some men do it, they kill people like me for daring to give them a hard on. When women do it, they will try to accuse me of some offence harassment/stalking. Which on investigation is never substantiated and makes then look as nuts as the woman in the video. (Conversely there are the women who act out if I am not interested in them...when I know from dealing with a certain set of women if I actually did act interested then they would not reciprocate and act offended at my showing interest). The above is part of why folks like me, 1/2 to a quarter of us can be bi but end up with men most of the time. Men just say what they want or don't want and 99.9% of the time they stand by it.

edgygirl Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I think this is brilliant and shows the main issue in male-female dynamics very well. As in the Venus & Mars collection. Obviously it's an exaggeration as we don't jump off windows... Usually I am guilty of having done that. The first part only - fishing for a response I wanted to know about, without being direct. I'm realizing lately that instead of asking straight what I want to know, I sometimes do it in a passive aggressive way. I tried to be more direct in my last semi-relationship and express my feelings when asked, and is seems to also not have worked out. So how do we deal with this? Being direct or not? Seems that either way we are s*****.
Woggle Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Not all woman act like that. Ladies if you want something from a guy just come right out and ask. The direct approach is the best with men. 1
Fondue Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I find that women whom are direct are actually quite attractive. I recently went out with a woman who made her intentions clear, spoke directly, and did not leave me guessing. She wss "aggressive" in that regard. I found that incredibly sexy. I will be surely seeing her again soon . 2

Wish I could say the same. I once thought of writing a book of my favourite female "WTF?" moments. "Notes from the Doghouse", seemed like a good title. 2

"Notes from the Doghouse", seemed like a good title. :laugh: That would be a good one! I know you guys hate to hear this, but I really think it depends on the type of women you socialize with. The women I know are mostly in professional/academic circles, and most of them are fairly direct and rational folk. I understand how some of them might not be the sort of women that some of you might seek to date, though.
TheZebra Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I also find that being direct with guys makes ME happier too. Seriously, if you're just throwing hints out there hoping he'll get it (While deep down you know he won't) then you're some sick kind of masochist who enjoys feeling hurt and being a victim. If you don't want to go to that restaurant, say something, don't just pout and hope he'll change his mind. If you want him to get you new shoes for xmas, tell him, don't just randomly mention it one morning while he's brushing his teeth and hope he'll remember. If you don't want to see his mother... errr, well, maybe here you don't say anything 1
SilentVoice Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 hehehehe @ this guy... is he serious? People who accept others child like behaviors deserve it just as much. He shouldn't have even been concerned about what he did but assumed the girl jumping out the window was bat **** crazy. This type of behavior is not only exclusive to women - common yes. However if most men didn't allow this behavior it wouldn't be so common. However but what do I know - I am women and probably not using my brain. 2
