Men's body language and other forms of communication are much easier to interpret... I wonder whey women don't take the easier route and learn 'male language', instead of trying to get men to understand their overly and needlessly complicated 'language'?
It's the path of least resistance in the pursuit of what you want... right?

"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

Sometimes I wonder if even women understand each other.

the guy: You're just pissed because I didn't say 'Hi' within 5 minutes of seeing you yesterday at work. Well you know what? I was swamped with work....
And the guy just might be right... in that him not saying 'Hi' asap... could've led to the feelings of not being valued or disrespected... etc. But essentially... the girl's just pissed because he didn't greet her in a quick way.
Women have a bad habit of adding to seemingly innocent occurrences. A huge majority of things that men do are often at face-value... the level of thinking didn't extend much beyond the action itself."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

You're a woman, which means we feel we're supposed to read between the lines? Originally Posted by misombra

IE: if it is something minimizes your feelings."Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."

They understand each other, and then judge each other based on ability to use subtle additional forms of communication and then rank the other based upon perceived level of intelligence. Originally Posted by Frasbee

"So, what is it that men want in a woman? What qualities are they wanting/needing in a woman that would make them say 'yeah, this is someone I can see spending the rest of my life with'?"
every guy is different but I think most would agree that we desire a girl who is attractive, down to earth, and enjoys sex.

"i have talked to him.. he gives me every excuse.. and he wants to spend all his time with me.. i dont doubt he loves me with all his hearti dont think hes not interested because he always does cute things for me.. whether he makes em things at work, or just cute things when were together... (were always together.. when hes not working..and he works like 50 hour weeks.. soooo).. maybe its cos ive gained someweight.. could thatbe it?dont get me wrong im not a fattie but im not what i used to be thats for sure."
did you bother to read vashti's and my response? We don't doubt your boyfriend loves you. It could be an issue of low libido or maybe he's not physically attracted to you.

b/c guys like to feel right about things. In his mind, he thinks he knows the situation better than you even when you tell him different.

He's an old poster - one of my all time favorites. Everyone loved him, I think. He ended up dating a girl in her 20s, and he was in his mid 30s. Originally Posted by nonconformist
