Female/Male mind Q & A
Due to much confusion as to the complexity of the male and female mind, I have set up the blog to hopefully enter peaceful, orderly, and sophisticated conversation that will bring enlightenment to all involved. So, Men, ask away about women! Women, ask away about men! And both of you, be prepared to answer with good answers!

Why are guys so heartless?
ReplyDelete(partially kidding, partially not :P)
Ouch! Well, since I am the only guy here, I guess I have to answer :D I think it is not heartless as much as just do not care. Calloused.
ReplyDeleteI would say because we tire of showing emotion and only getting trouble for our efforts.
ReplyDeleteWhy are girls so illogical?
I don't think we are illogical, it just appears that way to you guys. We seem to be flitting to one thing to the next, but really it's just our way of 'sounding the depths', i.e. a guy would just try something outright, but we have to try EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeletealso, it probably just looks that way to you because our brains are processing like hundreds of things all at once, while guys usually stick to one or two things :P
I think it's because we are under so much stress. I agree with Jennie, we just seem illogical to you. It's the same with you men. You appear heartless to us women.
ReplyDeleteI have another question.
Why are men so inconsiderate of women's feelings? In a way, it's like being heartless, but it's soo much more than that. Women just need to listened too and heard and taken into consideration. I have often seen that women in pain need comforting. And most of the time, their women friends are not there to listen to them. And if they know you, and you know them, the men should give a hand at comforting women? Why don't men do that anymore?
Men are not heartless, and I will explain why. To Marilla: God made man so that he does not show his pain as much as women, so he does not understand when a woman is hurt deeply, and he cannot relate. If he tries, he may be mistaken and offend her or get in trouble. Why did God make him this way? Because man is the head. You do not want your head emotionally compromised. He needs to be able to make wise decisions for the ones he loves.
ReplyDeleteTo Emily: The answer to what you said is similar to my answer to Marilla, but you are comparing men and women. THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Women do not understand men, so they attribute their lack of comforting and understanding your feelings as being heartless and cruel, while we may attribute the emotions of women as being overly emotional and making a mountain out of a mole hill, so to speak. We are not inconsiderate, we merely do not understand.
And if we attempt to understand, and get it wrong, there's a good chance of getting in trouble for it.
Thus far, Jennie, The Trekker, and Gabriel seem to be the most diplomatic.
ReplyDeleteTo the rest of you, are there any questions that genuinely bother you that you can ask without hurting or riling up the opposite gender?
Two things that Emily said... Are women under more stress than men? And what do mean don't do that any more? Has this happened in the past?
ReplyDeleteJennie, so women take a bite from every plate?
Annie Marie, I have a feeling that this is going to be a lost conversation :D
Why do your men often underestimate the abilities of woman? I've heard many young men say they can do better things then girls and I almost always prove them wrong.
ReplyDeleteGuys say they are better than everyone... even other guys :D We are just competitive
ReplyDeleteI have come to realize that. I usually don't have a problem with that, unless they make a habit of bashing everyone and esteeming themselves (which I find even in Christian circles, unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteyeah, I think every woman likes to try all sorts of different things out...maybe a guy would just get too overwhelmed?
ReplyDeleteguys: do you really hate chick flicks? ;)
....or, do you secretly enjoy them?? : D
I thought girls were competitive too? Or am I only coming in contact with the fringe part of my gender?
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, girls are competitive, but as far as I can tell, no where near as competitive as a guy. A guy will do something to the point of physical pain and a great amount of danger just to prove he's tougher. I haven't seen a girl do something like that.
ReplyDeleteJennie, that's privileged. :D
Um, Gabe, I think you were talking to Anastasia. :D
ReplyDeleteGabe, I think we overdo it too :D At least I do!
ReplyDeleteJennie, I can't speak for all guys but, in my personal experience, I find that I like to try new things too. And I consider myself to do a wide variety of things but I also do not like to just know a little about something. If I start something, I want to become good in it. So, with the trying many plates thing, I think it goes back to the competition. I can't be bad at something :D So I will take more time on something in order to become prolific in it.
trekker, that makes a lot of sense...and I do think it's true that guys like to try a lot of things, but it just takes them longer....whereas women just zip through a whole bunch of things in about 2 seconds!
ReplyDeletegabe!! this is supposed to be a forum to DISCUSS things :]
ReplyDeleteMoses, we definately overdue it.
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, you should change your name back to Gary, it's easier to differentiate. :)
Jennie, to answer your question, it depends on the guy. I know guys who are unashamed of their enjoyment of chick flicks. I, however, can honestly say that I am bored with them. At least all the ones my mom watches.
@Gabe Then you obviously haven't met the girls I've met. :)
ReplyDeleteCool, somebody actually understands me :D
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gabe, on the chick flicks...
Okay now I have a question. Everywhere I go there always seems to be a guy showing off. Either by talking loudly, arguing over something stupid, climbing up a swing-set to stand at the top, etc.
ReplyDeleteCan any of you guys tell me why this is? Or do you not even realize you're doing it? It's pretty obvious to me at least....
First of all, its fun(at least with the swing set) and a challenge(which makes it fun). And I argue over stupid things because I am stupid :P
ReplyDeleteOh okay.
ReplyDeleteSo, when girls are concluding a conversation, they say "I love you". Do guys do that with each other?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Moses about climbing on a swing set. Swing sets, like trees or garage roofs, sit there and taunt you until you can reach the top. Don't ask me why, I don't know. And I wouldn't say it has anything to do with showing off. I'd be more likely do it if there wasn't someone there to see it, because if the swing set wins, I make a fool of myself.
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, we do not.
Oh, okay. :D
ReplyDeleteYep. Exactly what Gabe said.
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, I have no idea how I end a conversation... aside from "I gotta go" :D
do guys seriously just talk about football and cars when they are having guy-on-guy conversations? 'cuz it seems girls have waay more to talk about....my opinion. :P
ReplyDelete@Jennie Don't forget video games!
ReplyDeleteJennie- No, we do not :D
ReplyDeleteAnastasia- Most of the guys that I know do not play video games very much so they do not talk about them a lot.
ok, so what do you talk about? : D
ReplyDelete(this is jennie, btw)
Jennie, I never talk about football, rarely talk about cars, and seldomly talk about video games.
ReplyDeleteWe talk about just about anything.
Do girls just talk about guys? 'Cause that's just about all I heard for several days in a row from Lydia's friends at Master's.
I talk about football, but I talk about pretty much any sport. I like to talk about the Bible :p and about other books I read. Usually, I will talk about things that I have recently done... I don't know. I talk a lot so I talk about a lot :D
ReplyDeletehaha. NO we do not just talk about guys...if we do, it's usually about their inadequacy to live up to our standards.... (me, at least :P)
ReplyDeletewe talk about...hm. life, in general, shopping...gossipy-things...friends issues....etc. : D
I talk about shopping. And school. And politics. And life. And boys, but not as much as the other four.
ReplyDeleteAnd computers!! I forgot to add computers.
ReplyDeleteI must say, i love having conversations with girls about norm stuff and see when they fall apart/get confused. its interesting to see when the different genders interpret words.
ReplyDeleteI might as well know how to interpret them and to say what ii mean to right. its kinda hard. for me, when i am wrong, i want to be nailed about it. Girls... delicate is the word.
