Men can be so wierd...one moment they make you so happy and the next moment all they say or do seems so sensless that it annoys!...i dunno y i started a new thread for this...guess i shud have written this in the random thought of the day thread?? but this ain't random!!..men really can be unpredictable!
If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black! Unpredictable is part of female biology. Ever heard of PMS? Up one minute, down the next, like a rollercoaster ride. All we men can do is duck before the runaway rollercoaster jumps its tracks.

Starrwriter, when I get PMS I just get a tummyache... I think the woman you know must just be crazy. :lol:

Now, have you ever heard of testosterone? ;) Those are some fun moodswings, right there.

When I get PMS I become an utter loon, it has to be said; I sit and cry at the daytime TV programs, especially Neighbours, Doctors and Diagnosis Murder :lol: ... and this is an improvement since I started the pill, ROFL. My poor Bf :p ... and my mum actually, I usually spend the whole time screaming and shouting her ... ahh, sweet sweet ovaries ...

It is also a recently medical fact that men have an emotional time 'o the month too :nod:

Yeah, extreme anxiety when their "sweetheart" goes into PMS mode.

Gender bashers, I don't think one sex can call the other unpredictable without taking into account the others inpredictability. They are just two differnt types of crazies caused by two different hormones-- anything else is just personality.

Well, Pardon my absence ma'am, but I feels that I owe you
some ex'plination. So if you'll jes' sit back n'read, I'll git on with it.

I have walked the fence of my old co'ral one too many times, dear girl.
So's it's be'come a habit that when I gets to feeling tired,
I takes me a sit down on the big rock. Now I know we gots rattlers here,
but in that mornin' fog I just forgot to be a lookin'.
Well, here comes that ole' snake (wouldn't cha' know it, same one
that bit my back side more times than I care to re'call)
He come up jest as bold as he could be, and bit me smack on a vein!
Well that joker went to squirting everywhere, And I went to
hollerin' like a school girl. (pardon my insult to school girls ma'am)
but, that's how it was. So theres I am standin' out in my field,
Leg just a squirtin' like bull piss.
Now, truth be told, I know I had me a long walk back to the ole' log cabin.
I could see it in the distance just on the edge of that there ho'rizon.
(wood stove was still pumping out smoke, which was good,
cause at that point I started too feelin' really cold)
anyway,...there I was a limpin' and a squirtin', and it had been rainin'
for days, so that red mud was as thick as Mo'lasses.
Well wouldn't cha' know it, halfway to that Ho'rizon, the world
began to start a spinnin'an before I knew it, I found
myself lying face down in the mud of that red dirt road.
Not havin' the strength to lift myself, and no longer knowing
why I would bother (snake bite on a vein'll do that to ya)
I jes' lay there.
Now, bare with me darlin', I never felt myself to have a great mind,
(or it could have been a matter of unconsciuosness),
but the next thing I re'member
I was a sittin' in the most comfortable rockin' chair.
My leg all swollen n'black and in some places
it had taken' to lookin' like a pig thats been dead too long.
(and, I did get me the urge to poke it with a stick, but I re'sisted.)

I tried to keep this long story short, ma'am, but sometimes these
things happen. anyway...
Some dang hippie had showed up and took me to the ole' vets office,
and I got treated right proper like. Somethin' on my clothes smells
a bit funny, an I'm bettin' it's got everythin' to do with what that hippie
was smokin'. But seein' is, he done dun me a favor by savin' my life and all,
I'll not hold it against him.

So's next time, you gets to thinking peoples done put you
on ig'nore, Jes' remember my story and Think Of Me.

Why not make it simple? PEOPLE in general are unpredictable. That's the way we are. Wouldn't it be a dull (and deterministic) world it would be if everyone's actions, in a given situation, could inherently be predicted?

I'm actually like that ALL the time, regardless of my biologic situation, so to speak. To the point that I'm not able to predict if it's PMS time or not.

Btw there is a kind of men which I call PMS men... they are WORSE than me on my most hysterical moments.

People are all unpredictable, right. And if they're not, they're probably boring.
Men are just mainly some selfish beings who think too much of themselves to ever care of a female besides her physical attributes. And I'm not going to get involved in another man/woman discussion, just take me as a man-phobic spinster and ignore me.

Are we getting serious here?

Perhaps, instead of typecasting a whole, err, gender, one can try a more realistic approach - focusing on individuals, instead of the other way round.

But then again, assinging collective blame is always a nice (not to mention easier) way of getting the rancor out of your system. :)

you know when I was liitle I used to watch a program called inquiring minds (I think?) anyway they did a show about it once and it was somthing like female is the domminat gender (utter rubbish as it only takes one y chromsone and 2 Xs) but anyway everyone basicly starts out as female in the first 3 months or somthing odd like that and then they develop sexual organs last somthing like that anyway.

Well, every embryo starts out with the default hardwiring for female, requiring the activation of certain chemicals to switch over to male. By then, however, nipples have already formed, and subsequently appear in humans regardless of sex.

On the subject of Men versus women, a very interesting read can be found here: http://www.exitmundi.nl/giggle.htm

That's why that book is great, it helps you understand the rationale of the opposite sex and why they say or do the things they do because it really is just their nature. Trust me, Leo and I had some rocky points there for a while, but things are much better because we are understanding why we are unpredictable.

I've never read "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus," but I love the apt title and I can understand why we need such a book. Sort of a user's manual for dealing with alien creatures. It's amusing to note that authors of the Bible explained our conflicts as the result of a curse from God: "And God placed enmity between man and woman." I don't personally believe that, but sometimes it seems like Nature has played an evil trick on us.

Yes Nature, the mother of motive - Don't Get Me Going On Her!

The Womans caused more problems...........
(Now, Read slowly ya'll, thats how I type.)

Jes' the other day, I was a lookin' at beautiful lady.
She had her a long dress on, Tan (I think)
-But it weren't the color I was a lookin' at. (to be honest and all)
She had herself some of that long wavy hair, Jes' a blowing in the wind.
(Now if I was woman, I would have to admit that
she looked like she jes' stepped out of a douche commercial.
But, I'm not, so I won't.)
Anyway....I got to looking at her jes' in time, too see a
small orange Car'nation come a flying my way,
Bein' that I was a gazin' on the lords fine work, my eyes were
wide open to all that would enter them, (Including that car'nation)
That joker looked as big as a fist when it smacked me in the eye.
well....By the time I got my com'posure back, she was gone.

I be'held one of the Lords finest creatures,
And just bein' a creature myself, I de'veloped some motives,
and Mother nature, being the sort a Mother she is,
saw fit to seein', that I didn't git 'round to seein' to it.

So...she and I got some issues.
But, I still got me that flower.

I believe nature to be random, and as a result unpredictable. Such wonders can be found in randomness. It is what makes the world turn round. It is all arbitrary. The people you meet, the things you do, so why is it we still care so much about those people and the things we do? That's the wonder of randomness. It doesn't have to make sense to be real.

I don't think that actually made sense, but it is relevant to the topic. The differences between men and women are the so cool because they actually shouldn't matter at all. On a purely rational level, it should just be about the continuation of the species. But when emotions come into it, we get threads like this one, that are so wonderful because it shows the complexities of nature.

I think... :confused:

Well, unpredictability is what makes me human. The rest of me just happens to be very similar to a humanoid male, and yes the thread title confirms what you say. Men are unpredictable. Maybe we have a temperal loop manipulating the forum that brings us right back to the beginning.

I am the most rational of all creatures, the most predictable and self-consistent - except for three days out of the month. At that time, I howl at the moon, cry a million tears and want to die. Every month so far I have survived it, but I keep waiting for that month I'm vulnerable and the knife too easy to grasp....
To me a woman howling at the moon is kind of sexy. ;)

Have a friend hide your knives once a month. In a few decades you won't have to put up with it anymore. Then you'll have hot flashes and all the other symptoms of menopause. Ain't nature grand?

I'm a man. Today I was unpredictable. I think. But perhaps the 'gods' knew in advance what I would be up to and deigned to let me live within the illusion. I find the latter possibility distasteful. I wish to be anything but predictable. Certainly life holds the possibilities of many conformities..........but I'd rather not......but you can still love me......

Kaltrina

11-30-2005, 05:09 AM

I wish to be anything but predictable

I agree with Baddad. I don't like being predictable and I also hate when the opposite sex is predictable, because that is boring, anything you get without fighting I think it is boring, there is no fun in knowing all in advance... I know I sound as if i am supporting men's opinions but I can really be bad and annoying when I have my PMS. I cry, I laugh, I am angry at everyone in the same time, I don't even understand myself so how can I expect someone to understand me... I know men are sometimes too unpredictable so that they make you crazy but if you look closely you can find out everything without asking, they are not so unpredictable as they think they are, we are the ones who give them credit... :D

RobinHood3000

If there is anything that my husband is predicatble about, it's food. Yesterday, I was running late and there was nothing but small yogurt cups that I could eat on the way to work, but I knew that wasn't going to keep me going till lunch. So I was looking in the pantry and wondering why I never buy breakfast bars for such mornings, and then I remembered, I used to buy them, but then stopped because I never got any of them. He would have eaten them all by the next day!

I'm so happy we read that book (well I'm not quite finished). I calmly told him about how I was so hungry before lunch and he promised to try to keep himself from eating all the cereal bars if I bought some more. Normally he would get really defensive because I would complain about his bad eating habits and we'd start fighting. But this time our voices and blood pressures remained low. I'm so proud of us! I just had to share that.

I did discover somthing though today IM 18 years old and my dad still cant spell my name!! and I know it was the password on his computer at one time.
Happy birthday!

oh Im not looking for a husband thats my philosphy if Im going to meet someone Ill do it whether I mean to or not and I probably will borrow it from the library Im sure Ive seen it on the shelves somewhere.

I grew up in one small town and hated it so much I left as soon as I graduated from high school. I returned for two brief visits over the next few years before I decided I never wanted to see the place again.

You seem rather sad about moving around. I wish I could have lived on 3 continents before I was 17. To me that sounds like an exciting and adventurous childhood. I was dying of boredom in my little hometown.

Later I lived in 5 U.S. states and 1 foreign country. I also vacationed in many other states and 9 foreign countries. My life has been much more interesting since I started moving around. Home is where the heart is, not a fixed geographical location. You "belong" wherever your heart sends you.

Star's right Nightshade, when I stopped looking is when I met my husband.

If I hear (read) that sentence again I'm going to kill someone. It's B U L L S H I T! It's a damn cliche! It's an empty circumstance sentence!And I dont care if it happened to you, it doesnt mean it's a rule!!! :rage:
There's nothing more annoying than hearing that. Together with "of course you dont have a boyfriend, you dont do anything about it, go to the disco and put some make-up on if you really want one". It's the subconscious way that people who have relationships use to make a fool of people with a disastrous love-life.

Don't take it personally, Shea, I would have reacted the same to anyone else.
And I'm not going to discuss this further.

Shea

I won't take it personally ;) and I don't expect you to discuss it further, but I just wanted to say that I don't agree either with getting yourself made up and going to clubs (discos) just because that's what people say that your supposed to do. I would be terribly uncomfortable in such situations and would probably never run across anyone with whom I had anything in common with. I've always believed that if you try to be someone you're not even though it's expected because of what society values, you're likely to be very unhappy. If you make yourself happy first, then society will start to value you instead.

I call both my step-parents Mom and Dad too. Sometimes it gets very confusing when I'm trying to talk about them ("which mom...?" "which dad...?"), but all four of them had a good hand in raising me and I couldn't consider them as anything less. If my birth parents made too rash a decision in marrying each other, they certainly learned from their mistakes and found more suitable persons for themselves later.

Men Are Hard To Please

The problems with GUYS:

If u TREAT him nicely, he says u are IN LOVE with him;
If u Don't, he says u are PROUD.
If u DRESS Nicely, he says u are trying to LURE him;
If u Don't, he says u are from KAMPUNG.
If u ARGUE with him, he says u are STUBBORN;
If u keep QUIET, he says u have no BRAINS.
If u are SMARTER than him, he'll lose FACE;
If he's Smarter than u, he is GREAT.
If u don't Love him, he tries to POSSESS u;
If u Love him, he will try to LEAVE u.(very true huh?)
If u don't make love with him., he says u don't Love him;
If u do!! he says u are CHEAP.
If u tell him your PROBLEM, he says u are TROUBLESOME;
If u don't, he says that u don't TRUST him.
If u SCOLD him, u are like a NANNY to him;
If he SCOLDS u, it is because he CARES for u.
If u BREAK your PROMISE, u Cannot be TRUSTED;
If he BREAKS his, he is FORCED to do so.
If u SMOKE, u are BAD girl;
If he SMOKES, he is GENTLEMEN.
! If u do WELL in your exams, he says it's LUCK;
If he does WELL, it's BRAINS.
If u HURT him, u are CRUEL;
If he HURTS u, u are too SENSITIVE!! & sooo hard to please!!!!!

I am getting a little uneasy with all this men-bashing. In my old age, I have realised that it takes two to tango and tango is a hard dance to master!

The problems with WOMEN:

If you TREAT her nicely, she says you are UP TO something;

If you don't, she says you are IGNORING her.

If you DRESS Nicely, she says you are trying to LURE other women;

If you don't, she tries to CHOOSE your clothes.

If you ARGUE with her, she says you are CRUEL to her;

If you keep QUIET, she says you are IGNORING her.

If you are SMARTER than her, she says you are BOSSY;

If she's SMARTER than you, she KNOWS BETTER.

If you don't LOVE her, she tries to MAKE you;

If you LOVE her, you are POSSIVE;

If you don't make love with her, she says you don't CARE;

If you do, you are DEMANDING.

If you tell her your PROBLEM, she says you are not MANLY and TOO SENSITIVE;

If you don't, she says that you are DISTANT.

If you SCOLD her, you are TOO CONTROLLING;

If she SCOLDS you, it is because she KNOWS BETTER.

If she BREAKS her PROMISE, she couldn't HELP IT;

If you BREAK yours, you cannot be TRUSTED.

If you SMOKE, you are BAD boy;

If she SMOKES, she NEEDS to.

If you do WELL in your exams, you are LUCKY;

If she does WELL, it's BRAINS.

If you HURT her, you are CRUEL;

If she HURTS you, she didn't MEAN it and she cannot UNDERSTAND men!

It all depends upon the person doing whatever don't you think. I always try to see what the intent was. A person could yell at you because they are afraid. A person could say a rude thing to you because long ago you said the same to him/her and the wound never healed. A person could say something to you because that is all they heard their father/mother say, a person they look up to.
I think if we just give one another the benefit of the doubt until you obviously cannot anylonger a relationship even between friends could last a long long time. And what is more precious than a true friend whether it be the person next door or a marriage mate? :nod:

I happen to know a young man Eric who is absolutely beautiful like a run way model, it gentle yet speaks his mind, is generous, kind, compassionate and considerate, is heterosexual and has a loud mouthed pushy girlfriend whom he adores. He is a genius and works with computers and cell phones and every girl I know wants to be in the same space as him. He gets up in the morning because he wants to and gets his girlfriend breakfast and kisses her goodbye before leaving for work. And he is a dear friend to me and my family, came because he wanted to to baby Hasia's birthday and loves her just as much as anyone else. Each one of us is unique and that is perhaps how we should look at one another. the result could be good, who knows

Well, I've just read through this thread for the first time today, thinking at first that this was just a superficial chit chat, but wow. There's some real emotion in here, especially from Koa. You would think she was Italian. And Smilingtearz appears to have become the jokester of the forum. Well, I'll have to defend the men here. We are outnumbered you know. Smilingtearz may not know that there is a corresponding half to the quote I highlighted. Or if she does know, she obviously neglected it. It goes like this:

Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity, and intoxicationg to the mind, and then they turn full-bodied with age until they all go sour and vinegary and give you a headache.

Some of the comments by the women here seem like they've already gone vinegary. We men aren't that bad, are we?

I've never found this to be true. For every person like you, who feels that it's funny when they shout their opinion in people's faces till all the potential humor is long gone, there are other people who have to tactfully hold their tongue to keep the general peace. You don't really like it when others voice their opinion, just when they allow you to voice yours... repeatedly. When people like Smilingtearz express "sarcastic humor," you take them seriously and call them overly sensitive. Which is probably more a projection of your own motives.

Smilingtearz' list of descriptions seems to describe men like you—to use a cliche, "Chauvinists"— but, thank god, there are men in the world who do not meet that description at all. Believe me, there are reasonable, intelligent, sweet men in the world, who are secure in their masculinity without needing to "prove" it, but they tend not to like being associated with the type of men who, for example, believe that when a woman says "no" she means "yes" (thanks to the Unnamable for that prime example), and so they tend to quietly avoid the company of people who talk in gendered stereotypes. Such stereotypes—that women are all scatter-brained nags, and that men have no emotions and are just after sex—tend to be perpetuated by people who generally only attract that sort of person, and so they think the whole world is made of the same kind of people. This is ridiculously narrow-minded; the type of person with whom you find yourself surrounded is often a reflection of the type of person you are. If you want to attract kind men, or intelligent women, perhaps you ought to first examine what it is about your personality that only attracts the type of people you dislike.

It's tough to escape stereotyping, and it's unfortunate when the only qualifying factor is your gender. There are two genders in the world, and a whole lot more than two types of people. This is all the evidence one should need that not all men/women are alike.

You're really dense if you can't tell the difference between humorous teasing and serious criticism. My only motive is to have a little fun, which you could see if you read my posts with an open mind instead of referring to a PC handbook.

If you want to attract kind men, or intelligent women, perhaps you ought to first examine what it is about your personality that only attracts the type of people you dislike.
You've already done that for me, even though you know next to nothing about me or my life. You equated me with Unnamable and implied that both of us are misogynists with rapist mentalities. You should look inside your own mind to find out where all this anger is coming from.

It's tough to escape stereotyping ...

12-20-2005, 03:02 PM

(thanks to the Unnamable for that prime example)

And there was me thinking that I was simply joining in with the spirit of smilingtearz’s rather amusing diatribe against men. I didn’t take it seriously – nor was I offended by it. Perhaps I should have been. A po-faced, politically correct objection would have been more welcome it seems – as an adequate display of my sensitivity credentials. Obviously, I am nothing more than a rapist.
Mind you, I now have further evidence that Literature is being appropriated by the PC hordes who are terrified of anything that suggests the problems of the world can’t be solved by every one sharing a nice glass of chardonnay together.
As for the other ‘objectionable’ reference I made – why is it that so many of you daren’t object to the explicitness of, say, Ulysses or much of Shakespeare? Look at the following interchange between Hamlet and Ophelia:

HAMLET
Do you think I meant country matters?

OPHELIA
I think nothing, my lord.

HAMLET
That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

OPHELIA
What is, my lord?

HAMLET
Nothing.

He puns on ‘country’ and then uses ‘nothing’ to mean ‘no thing’ i.e. no penis. This is disgusting and should be banned. Hamlet is sexually abusing the poor girl here and Literature is all about telling us what a lovely place the world is.

PS Do you have a cuddly teddy-bear called Osric?

my goodness how did people become suddenly experts in the hearts of all others?
is it the 'if it looks like a duck think?"
Here in Vernon gay pride is so accepted it is passe and boring for the newer generations. no body cares. Eric is just one of several guys who are absolutely beautiful in appearance and rather like and enjoy girls, ladies who are outspoken, someone they can love but don't have to babysit or be the life supply of oxygen for.
I noticed they all have very cosmopolitan parents from Europe who have been married a very long time and who are equally outspoken and articulate. It is just their family backgrounds I suppose. Not every guy is hungering after a beautiful girl who has neither the brains nor humankindness to match. A lot of gorgeous girls here are alone and like it or are with very average guys that they too have been with for years and who they think are their total soul mates.
Now now Papayahed don't get tainted by this'very ignoble adult verbal sewage. On the other hand at least Scher is a match for our poor little Starr who now is not merely slightly senile and cranky but according to Basil has a serious medical condition that needs quick attending to before he passes it about to innocent untainted people.
Well at least the good side of this is the old bear will be leaving you alone for a while it seems.
Be careful Starr, Scher may have a Mr. or a man in her life that sees you as a vile predator who needs a good taking down a peg or two. There are gentlemen in this life who do not fancy their beloveds being spoken to in such a crude manner and on the internet within 'hearing of children and youth who come on here to have clean fellowship and learn something. Have you thought about seeing a counsellor that specializes in therapy for the seriously sexually addicted?

Just my two cents:

This was relatively fun when it was a tug and pull thread of gender jokes. But somehow it became personal against Star, and I think that was unfair. In my reading of the threads, Star didn't personally attack anyone, a few however attacked him. Star's humor is sarcasm. He was only playing along. Ad hominum slights against him were wrong. And he was actually losing his give and take with Scher.Virgil,

Thank you for your post. I agree with you that this thread started as a joke and most of us contributed in that way. I would like to think that things said have been in light hearted banter, with no intention of offending anyone.

I am not trying to protect Scher. I just grieve that such smuttiness has to be the order of the day when there are better ways of expressing oneself, especially on a site that has so many very young teens on it who already hear that sort of junk daily and could use a break. but that is only my opinion.
And unless Scher has pm'd you about her life, how is it you say she doesn't need defending. What do you know of her life? And I still stand by what I said , humour or not i cannot imagine any special person in someone's life not wanting to hand out a bunch of fives to some stranger speaking in such a personal sexual way to his/her loved one. again just my opinion, doesn't change my regard for you, it is just a concern is all. i will say no more.(yes yes I can hear all the applause)

Hmm... I think the point of my post a while back was mistaken. I'm not against sarcastic humor, and I didn't mistake the jokes on this thread for sincerity, I'm just so, so, so sick and tired of "men are like this/women are like this" humor. No offense (really!), but I think it reflects poorly on the joke-teller's intelligence. They're boring and clichéd to the extent of causing pain, in me. What I hate is that the jokes are predicated on stereotypes that I think are far too prevalent, and which too many people still believe to be true. Shocking sexist humor, however, can be funny. Observe:

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing you haven't already told her twice.

Why shouldn't women drive?
There isn't a highway between the kitchen and the bedroom.

Why did the woman cross the road?
Not the point. What's she doing out of the kitchen?

How do you turn a dishwasher into a snow-plow?
Hand the ***** a shovel.

How many women does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. Let her cook in the dark.

Funny, because they're socially outdated. And just shockingly cruel, which is always just a little bit funny. But, to me, the myths that women want a rich man who will buy her lots of things, and that when a man looks at you while you're talking he's just waiting for you to shut up so he can **** you... laughing at them is a step in the right direction, but they're still told with an attitude of "it's funny 'cause it's true," and I generally try to avoid social circles wherein that type of thinking is common. So when I come to a Literature Forum, a kind of intellectual oasis amidst ... well, the rest of the world, ... and in the middle of that I find more low-brow sex jokes, it makes me kinda sorta want to pluck my eyes from their sockets and pour bleach into them until it eats my brain.

You know, to clarify things.

In the 1960s there was a pop tune that went:

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife

Unfortunately, most men are prone to female beauty. Who wants an uggo for a mate?

All good-looking women are high maintenance (meaning lots of trouble.) If they're not attractive, the man ceases to care about any kind of maintenance.

*starr and co....I don't see why it is so bad to want to remain friends?No offence...but I would never take relationship advice from someone who is not friends or no longer on speaking terms with their ex's.I'm very generous and affectionate in friendship, and guys and girls can definitely have an innocent relationship.I truly like to remain as sweet as a lovely apple blossom.I'm always friendly with everyone I've come across.Though I have seen many nasty breakups around me.Both girls and guys can get nasty, and highly irrational in a heated argument, but it's not my style and I tend to avoid the tulmult of hell.Friendship is far more precious.I'm naturally kind and charming in person, and certainly no ----(edits out anyway).

*Also, Robin, I think you need to get out more.Not all really gorgeous girls are sour.I hope you don't become a complete cynic like some older guys.I think it's a common misconception, especially if guys have had negative experiences in the past.There are some girls who are bright, beautiful, and incredibly nice.Trust me.

*And starr and co...who said the pretty women even wants to be your wife?Not every female or male wishes to be a wife or husband.I'm never going to get married-seriously.I think one can live independently and still be deeply in love.I'm never going to live with anyone.By choice.

Have no fear, Aurora--I'm not that cynical, just trying to follow the lemon analogy. I realize that there are girls who are bright, beautiful, and incredibly nice; I'm in a relationship with one now, and I couldn't be happier. And I do agree with you, though I should probably have some more dating experience before my opinion on the matter has any weight, that most people should be mature enough to remain friends with their exes or, if their exes are terrible people (which has to happen at least some of the time to somebody), to know enough to sever ties with them.

My ex-wife and I are not even on stabbing terms. I lost track of her years ago on purpose and for all I know she's dead (although there may be wish fulfillment involved in that possibility.)

*And starr and co...who said the pretty women even wants to be your wife?
When I was 19, I listened to the experience of an old Florida cracker and it turned out to be prophetic of my own future life. He said: "Women! First, they want the matrimony. Then they up and leave and want the alimony. In the end they git all the mony."

I hate to disagree with you Aurora, but frankly that's a bit naive. There are reasons you broke up. There is a history between the two, positive and negative. Because you broke up, you don't want to relive the positive, at least not in front of the other. And the negative continues to divide. Once you cross the threshold into love, mere friendship is no longer possible. There may be some, usually because there are mutual children involved. Perhaps you are forced into overlapping situations. I guess it depends on what you define as friendship, but consciously seeking to do things together is near impossible.

and I have to agree with Virgil... I wouldn't like to be friends with someone I had a history behind... I don't think there is friendship left between two people who were in love or just a couple, but especially between people who were deeply in love... why stay friends? later on it always complicates things in life, whenever two people start dating and become a couple, they think about something more than friendship than I personally think that friendship is gone, there is no more place for it... couples can be friends, great friends but only when they are in a relationship, once they break up the friendship is ruined... but anyways that is only my opinion... :D

RobinHood3000

Eh, I disagree. My girlfriend and I have agreed to split for one reason, and only one reason: utter incompatibility. Never shall we part because either of us thought we found someone better, or because we no longer "feel like" being in a relationship. Part of that agreement was to be mature enough to remain friends, even is something should go awry.

Of course, the fact that it's a purely emotional relationship without physical interaction may aid in the execution of that pact.

Yet I remain friends with everyone I have ever dated, married, or cohabitated with......and yes, there are quite a few such friends. I have grieved for the appropriate length of time,been angry, frustrated, lost. But always return to friendship in the end. Relationships are a state of mind. One need not carry animosity around as an emotional disease just because of the changes that life brings. I prefer to keep my friends for a lifetime. Lovers should be no different.....IMHO........

That's having manners, like anyone with else of aquaintence. But I wouldn't invite them to a personal party nor would I go if I were invited to one of theirs. I can't imagine going on an event, say something like double dating, my wife and I, her and her husband. It's not even just the emotions involved, it's the awkwardness of the situation. [excuse my spelling] There are other people now involved. My wife would react.

Rachel, it's not "meanness" to report the painful lessons of one's experience. It's honesty and facing the facts.

As I indicated above, I don't feel like God is raining on my personal parade. After my divorce, I remained a bachelor because I saw the folly of marriage when most men and women don't have a clue about each other. I'm an only child and I've always been a loner.

Although I wasn't really a member of the family I grew up in I was the first by a couple of years and I don't know if I have siblings so perhaps I am an only child as well. I also wonder if only's if they escape being selfish self absorbed beings are real people watchers. It seems true perhaps.
Who said I wasn't selfish or self-absorbed? I'm people, too, and I definitely bear watching.

I'd like to see a study done of how well only children fare in romance as opposed to those who grew up with siblings? Although, there are plenty of variables, such as how much time an only child spends with peers and cousins. But learning communication and conflict-resolution skills at an early age, such as one with brothers or sisters must, seems like it would contribute to how well one lives with others as an adult. Just a thought.

All my friends that are only's are very sensitive, easily wounded and tend to hide away and have difficulty knowing when someone is conning t hem. But that is just a few of the millions. The rest might be quite different.

Wow, I have a completely different view. I'm an only and I'm none of those things mentioned. From my perspective I think I grew up faster, learning more of the "real" world at an earlier age then most. You're right about the not having to share and not competing for attention, but there's also that bit about being alone a good deal of the time.

Very wise words Baddad. while there is life there is hope for new memories. unless the person of course is violent and will not change. I have made that unfortunate mistake and am very grateful to have come away alive, me and my family.
As for you being multifaceted that doesn't mean the layers and such are normal.Unless you had a friend or mentor to really work out situations and emotions and grow in mind and thought in a healthy way I still feel that only's have a very different view of the world and the people in it. I think it may be true that they see themselves as the centre and everyone else revolving around them.That is unless as I said they have had significant people in their lives who challenge them and interact with them on a regular basis.
And Virgil I agree with Same leadership and being put in charge are two very different things. As oldest or eldest the parents give you all this worry of seeing to this and that and making sure all is done well and your siblings are behaving and the house doesn't start on fire. It can be very exhausting and a fearful thing but the oldest often assumes a more adult view of things because he/she was the first one the parents tried out all their pet theories and disciplines on. Being a leader to me at any rate means an inherent love of being in charge, going for it, being tough and aggressive even if charming and loving every bloody fight up the ladder to success. I hated being a women's editor, I chose afterwards to be in research and to be a free lance. Too shy and couldn't take having to interact with all those people whether I wanted to or not. On the forum I can react or choose not to with all who participate.And do if from the safety and quiet of my own home.

I would have hated siblings. I enjoyed being the center of my parents' attention all the time -- the apple of their eye, so to speak. A brother or sister would have been a fly in the ointment of my egotism.

or worse still they probably wouldn't have survived.
And have you ever thought that perhaps you were an only for a reason hmmmm dear Starr. Perhaps having you frightened them out of having any more.
And so there, you admit it, you were spoiled and self centred and liked it so much you just went on from there to a paradise where you took up with bush rats, murdered piggies and any competition and still are the centre of your universe.....all all all alone out there somewhere.

Reminds me of a dark Steven Wright joke: "I was an only child -- eventually."

And have you ever thought that perhaps you were an only for a reason hmmmm dear Starr. Perhaps you frightened them out of having any more.
I did my best to discourage the idea.

And so there, you admit it, you were spoiled and self centred and liked it so much ...
I admit nothing. I deny everything.

...you just went on from there to a paradise where you took up with bush rats, murdered piggies and any competition ...
I hunted dangerous wild boar who would have eviscerated me if I had let them. And what have you heard about my human competition who vanished mysteriously? Don't believe the stories about bodies found in lava caves.

and still are the centre of your universe.....all all all alone out there somewhere.
Well, duh. I can't be the center of someone else's universe. And I'm never alone except when I want to be.

I have never met anyone in my life, except a few grade nines who were practically brain dead from smoking unknown substances, that can be as snide and bratty, as annoying and obnoxious as you in three words or less. Duh,? I haven't heard anyone say that since I read Archie comics.
Well done Starr

MEN!! and fathers (no make that my father) in paticular sheesh! :flare:
IUm going to visit my paternal grandmothert in amonth and then he comes and tells me after all the rest of the sensible (read female) members of the family tell him not to. That the rest of the family is thinking of not going to visit her this summer but go to all these nice places instead. Oh and if she asks me if theyre coming say they are.
Was there any reason for me to know this?! And the one thing THE ONE THING I object to is lying.
Now I know and Ill have to tell her if she asks and she will!

Maybe we just don't understand guys & maybe guys don't understand us girls!

We all have different thought patterns & generally girls think & accept things differently to guys.

Nice thread Eva!

I dont know where I read it recently you know it might havebeen one of shakespears sonnets?
anyway the basic drift is women act babyish to be adorable. maybe its like that really men act the way they do becasue women excpect them to and they dont want to dissapoint.
On a side note this thread isnt the same without its companion thread is it? but then again That one was locked, wasnt it??

I read the two pages of this thread, and had a thought...

has anyone heard the song by Reliant Kelly called, "mood rings"

Hilarious.

*exasperation*

Women confuse me. Men don't.

I find it easy to see motives in men. Women, leave me guessing.

You see, I figure there are equal amounts of stupidity in both genders... its just that with women, people seem to justify it by saying they are just emotional... whereas people justify it with men by saying...they are just stupid.

Nonsense. I have lived with guys long enough to know how intensly emotional guys can get. Just yesterday I saw a man hiding his tears while watching X-men 3.
