Man and woman are not from the same planet?

[malcom young]

Good stuff on the comments on that page:

"When it comes to talking about their problems and their worries with friends, men and women have completely different goals.


When a man unburdens himself to his friends, what he is really doing is asking for help. "These are my problems. Assist me in coming up with solutions to them." When a woman unburdens herself, what she is really doing is asking for sympathy. "These are my problems. Isn't my life terrible because I have all these problems? Don't you feel sorry for me?"


The reason why so many women think men are incapable of 'serious' emotion is because when a woman tells a man about her problems, he immediately does what men do: tries to fix them. This is a natural response; after all, it he were the one unburdening himself, that's what he'd want. Some suggestion as to how to fix the problems.


Unfortunately, the woman doesn't want solutions, she wants sympathy, and since the man isn't commiserating, she believes he is unsympathetic and dispassionate toward her concerns despite that being very far from the truth.


Likewise, the reason why so many men think women are flighty and over-emotional is because when a man tells a woman about his problems, she immediately does what women do, and talks about how she feels the same way when faced with similar problems and how horrible it is for him and so on, when what he wants is for her to offer him some solution.


Neither gender's approach is wrong, nor are these approaches "uncaring" or "flighty". They merely reflect the differences in the way the brains of men and women are wired."

Normal guys, maybe sure

Bodybuilders (vast majority of this site): Hell no

Generally speaking the guys who look the best are usually the most insecure. If another guy walks into the gym with a vest on looking big/lean it makes them feel uncomfortable. Obviously a general statement but what I have noticed over years. The ones that don't look good tend not to care nowhere as much. It's common sense as most who look a certain way have a lot invested in that look. Look at every amateur bodybuilders family photos and I guarantee most of them are flexing in every one even with their kids etc.

The ones that are mute, deaf and beautiful. Yet to find one for myself though

the woman's approach is wrong because it doesn't provide any solutions to the problems... which can be deadly - in certain circumstances.


when the time for action has come, men will rise to the occasion, whereas the typical woman will be busy yammering on about how she feels about the situation.

pretty sure we've all been there lol.

Not all women are like that. I can say that my wife knows how to act and fix things fast because her job depends so much on that. I do notice though at home she seems to play more of the "woman" part and I have to make all of the decisions. I think she is tired of having to do it at work and just wants to come home and relax, make me deal with all of the shit. That's only fair since she is the bread winner. She is smart and logical at work for sure, but some of the crap at home makes me crazy!

“How do you write women so well?”

Nicholson:

“I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.”

I don't know if mens solutions are really much better then a womans that wants to talk. Men can come up with a stupid solution and are happy with that. Men try to fix women but it doesn't work but they keep trying. Or they go into debt buying that next big toy to feel better. Or pick a different woman instead of finding out why they always choose the wrong woman. Or 5-10 lbs more muscle will be the cure to happiness. Or if I change my drug stack that will do it. And in reality they never get where they want to go. But they have a solution they are working on.

 

[Magic_Line]

Lol, You summarize what the men think very exactly. That's why men and women are different human. But you can try to know the world looks like in the other view.

Just see this video, women just want to share the emotion to feel better not to solve the problems directly by men, which would make them feel fool and not be understood.
