I'm Trying To Understand This..

[MoparManJim]

Okay, I have been trying to figure something out for a while now.. it seems when I ask it at certain places women gets offended by it. Now I'm trying to figure out this whole thing.. from both the guy's view and the women's view. 

Now how can I say this with out getting the women offended, first off women, I'm sorry in advance if this offends you in any way, this goes for the guys as well. But like said I'm trying to figure out why it does. 

Now, when something goes wrong, bad, happens. Why does women panic, run, worry alot for? Why does when a man does something strange like in mixing foods or something dumb a woman says "That's gross"? , If they see someone pick at a scab they say "that's gross"? Why are women so sensitive? Am I missing something to all this?

When I am with my friends and something goes wrong, only afew of them keeps a cool head while the females mostly worries, start to panic. If a friend of mine is in a demo derby and something goes wrong with there demo car, the first thing happens is there girlfriend starts to worry or panic's and starts to get all emotional. What good will that do? It certainly to my view will not help out the boyfriend at all. Heck he probably doesn't even know.. 

What I kinda mean is when something happens, the women mostly falls apart or gets offended where as the guy doesn't as they mostly keep a cool head.

I'm just trying to figure this out is all as to why. I figure if I ask this here, maybe I can get some answers some what about it from different views to help me figure it all out.

This just in: women are different than men.

No crap sherlock! how long did that take you to figure out?

Maybe they will if people talks about it, if you don't discuss it then people will not ever understand it.

Its simple.

Men are the hunters. Women are the gatherers.

When men were out slaughtering animals, elbow deep in blood and guts, women were picking berries, tending the crops, and raising the children.

Imagine if you will, what it was like, a hundred thousand years ago, when our nomadic ancestors roamed the plains in search of food. The tribe is getting hungry, so the men get together, and plan a hunting party. It requires determination, communication, a sense of bonding, common sense, and teamwork. It's not easy to take down a buffalo or mastodon with bare feet and some pointy sticks. The hunter that struck the killing blow would be the hero and got the best cuts of meat, so it became competitive as well. As the men tracked their prey, they had to remain silent, alert, yet they were pumped up, ready to fight or run. Only after the prey was killed, could they let out their bottled up emotions and adrenaline by screaming and yelling, and pounding the ground, and each other. After their celebrating, the men would gut and dress the kill, and carry it back to the tribe, in boisterous fellowship. On the way back, the men would sometimes pick up a nice shiny rock or bauble to take home for the wife.

The women, on the other hand, stayed put in order to take care of the children, make clothes, gather nuts and berries, and tend their little gardens. These activities did not require things like common sense and teamwork. You hardly ever get attacked by an angry blueberry bush protecting its young. It wasnt necessary for them to keep quiet, so they didnt. They talked, exchanging news, ideas, gossip, whatever. "Doesnt Balungas hair look nice today?" "Is that a new fur that Chinga is wearing?" "How long do you leave your buffalo leg in the firepit?" While the men were gone, the women worried about them. Okay, maybe they didnt worry so much about the actual men, as they did about whether the men would bring home food for them and the kids, but they still worried. It was an added bonus if the man would bring home a shiny rock.

When the men came home, there was more celebration. The food was cooked, everyone feasted, and everyone was happy. The women were pleased, and the men probably got laid.
The men who brought home a shiny bauble, probably got laid twice.

So that explains why things are the way they are today.

Men bond, have common sense, dont talk a lot, are indifferent to gross things, are competitive, enjoy team sports, are loud and boisterous after a touchdown, and do their gift shopping at the last minute.
Women talk all the time, worry about things, take care of the kids, are nurturing and domestic, dont like killing things, lack common sense, and like to get things.
When men take women out to dinner (bring home the kill and feed them) the women are happy, and the man is more likely to get laid.
The man will probably get laid twice if a diamond bracelet is presented after dinner.

Okay, so I made it all up. But I think it explains a lot!

I'm just trying to understand this thread!

Just live with them and don't try to figure them out....you'll end up having a stroke and dying!

[doctor4766]

In the beginning, women were from Venus and men were from Mars.........
Completely different races.


I think that kinda explains the whole situation Jimbo

I'm not sure why he's trying to understand women....he's having a hard enough time trying to understand his couch!

  That reminded me of something I read years ago so I posted it here.

 A basic rule of thumb is that Men are all about their work and Women are all about their relationships but what really comes to mind for me first is the old saw about Rolls Royces,  Guy asks the salesman in the Rolls dealership how much a particular Car costs and the salesman replies - "if you have to ask - you can't afford it".

[mauve66]

its simple, women don't make sense and men do

  Not again! I think people just love hitting me with that line..   

Nea, I got that understanded..   

Women, I don't have understanded really BUT am trying to yet though...   

[MoparManJim]

I saw an attractive young woman pick her nose and eat it once.  I thought that was gross.  Am I gay???

Um.. not that would be gross.  , does that make you gay? heck no! it makes you human!

But now, sense you ask if that would make you gay because of what that person did, why would you even think of the word gay for? That thought entered your train of thoughts for a reason.

Just trying to interject a little humor.  Your thought process is way too deep for my tiny mind.

At least I'm trying to understand and asking the questions, that is the only way you will understand something, you won't understand just by looking at it.

[Brock Samson]

[MoparManJim]

Both!   

Have you not ever look at something that you wondered about and not ask questions? I guess not by the sounds of it   

[Brock Samson]

Let me give you fair warning since nobody else has, If you get even remotely close to where you think you understand a woman and she realises that you are starting to understand her, She will up and change the rules on you and you're back to square one... 

[Old Moparz]

I see the differences in worry & not worrying or having a panic attack, as an individual thing, not a male vs. female thing. I've got friends & relatives, both male & female, that worry & panic over the smallest thing to where they raise blood pressure & lose sleep. I've also got friends & relatives that don't even blink when the roof caves in. It may be more common in women to an extent, but I believe it's really based on the individual & how they deal with a situation.

My Mother is someone who never seems to worry about a thing. She could, (and actually has) sleep through an earthquake & not have it phase her. When told about it, she'd say' "Well, at least I didn't have to run outside in the dark in my pajamas & freeze my ass off."

Another person, a friend of mine since 4th grade, won't worry about anything either. I've been over his place & seen him cook food, swat a huge fly with a spatula he was flipping burgers with, then go back to flipping the burger with the same spatula & had never wiped it. I passed on the extra burger that day, but I have eaten over his place since. I don't really panic over fly germs, but I won't use utensils as fly swatters.

My Dad is the person who will look out the window 28 times in 10 minutes to see if the person coming to visit is there yet. If you say you'll arrive at 1 PM he starts looking at 12:30 PM, but by 1:05 PM he's chain smoking & thinking about turning on the news to see if there's a special report about a 50 car pile up in the fog.

My wife is the worrying type, but can also show a cool, calm, & collected side. She freaked out recently because the dash in her car is leaking condensation from the A/C. It's a huge repair to solve because the dash needs to come out. She actually wants to get rid of the car & get another one, but over the weekend her upright acoustic bass, (worth about $1500) was destroyed in an accident at a festival 30 minutes before a gig. She called me, asked for a phone number of someone to borrow another bass & never got upset. (I still can't figure that one out....LOL)

Anyway, as far as figuring out women, or anyone really, it's easier to just accept that whatever way they are is the way they will be. If you can tolerate the faults & be okay with it, then there isn't any problem. If their simple breathing of the same air as yourself will make you want to run in front of a moving truck, then it's time to consider not hanging out with them anymore.
