Posted: 3/26/2009 9:33:26 PM | Do you really think men and women are really that much different?
Been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I have a couple of friends who are going thru some stuff too and I think I've come to the conclusion that men and women aren't really all that different when it comes to the opposite sex.
It's well known that us women over analyze everything to death, or so people say (some of us could really give a shit, but I digress lol) and that men have no emotions, could care less, just go with it, bla bla bla...
I've been seeing lately that even tho the men put on this false bravado macho shit, they're really not that different then us? They over analyze stuff too (heaven forbid they admit it! ), but unlike us, they try to hold it in and hope that nobody notices and it goes away, just cuz it's not a 'guy' thing to do?
In the end though, when you strip away all the sexism, I do think that men and women are a lot alike? they know what they want, but they don't? They meet someone they really fall for, but can think of a dozen reasons as to why it'd not work, or why they shouldn't even try because it's just easier that way, rather then to admit that yes there are feelings there, but they're scared, been burned, whatever, and would like to take things slow, but are scared to say anything? It's just easier to make excuses then it is to roll up your sleeves, do that bit of work and see where things go?
Not sure if I'm making sense here, but I've been listening to a girlfriend who has met someone and it's like OMG honey, you're dating a WOMAN!!!!
Men and women, in the end, are really not all that different are they? | |

....in the way we express ourselves and bring humor into serious situations. It is our way of saying, I care, but I want to live for the moment, not what is yet to come, nor what has passed!
Women are different...........
......thank God for that!!! 
Women do tend to overanalyze the intentions of men and the way we do things or react to certain situations.
But when it all boils down, we all have the same type of emotions, and internal fears and question each others motives. In reality, we both want the same thing, it is just that we express it differently. We want to be loved, both physically and emotionally, and we want to be understood in all situations. Some are accused of wearing their hearts on their sleeves, others are considered a hardass, while yet others (I've been called this) are considered a perv!
How do we convince each other that we are all of this, all rolled into one body, and we only want to share what we have to offfer, whether it be the right time or not, we have our moods displayed sometimes at a different, and often inappropriate, time, but we are still who we are.
The biggest problem with both of us is that we become more impatient as we age, and will either not put up with the moodiness, or, allow one to be emotinal, and yet it is the same emotion that has kept us alive and wanting to continue the hunt for that which we crave.
What is it we crave??? I know I want to be understood, accepted, loved, held and made love to when ever I need any of it! Is it really that hard to have all these things in our daily lives, without having to argue and get mad either at ourselves or each other?
Or, am I out to lunch and all wrong on this? | |

Posted: 3/26/2009 11:29:15 PM | Ok...except for the very obvious differences that Trubble so kindly pointed for us............thanks bud......now we know why our underwear is shaped differently !!
Here's my take........as a totally non partial third party member who is in no way involved in any such scenarios as those mentioned in the above stranger's post, and therefore has no first hand knowledge of said situations................
My take is that deep down, no....we are really no different in the way we feel. Man, woman.....makes no difference, we all feel pain, we all have fears, hopes, dreams, insecurities. We all want to be loved. We all hope there really is a happily ever after for us. We all bleed when we get cut.
I've always had a lot of guy friends......and I know that deep down, what they think and what they feel is really no different just because of gender.
I honestly think that the only difference is in how society has programmed men......how they have been taught about what is an acceptable way for men to act.
It has not been acceptable for men to show their emotions......they're supposed to suck it up, be tough...act like a man.
Real men don't cry.
Real men don't talk about their emotions.
Real men just grunt and burp and drink beer while watching hockey and football.
I had many fights with my ex FIL because he used to make fun of my son when he was younger for giving me a kiss goodbye or telling me he loved me..his grandfather called him a sissy every time he did it. Programming at it's best. Worked for his two sons, they are emotionally void...didn't work on mine.....luckily he had a mother who let him know it was alright to have emotions....and show them...and yes....he is 19 years old in two month and he still comes and gives me a kiss goodnight before bed..and NO..he is not a sissy in any way, shape or form.
Just like us....men can be devasted by a break up or betrayal. They cry, they get depressed, they have emotional breakdowns, they get scared of being hurt in a relationship.
Unfortunately though...because many men never were taught how to show emotions or how to deal with them....a lot hold it in and turn to alcohol, etc to drown their pain and hide it from the world.
Personally, I think those who can express their emotions are far better off.
pphhheeeww...that was long !! LOL | |

BUT, men's brains have more grey matter, and the actual brain usage size is comparable.
so maybe you're on to something.

Posted: 3/27/2009 12:58:36 PM | Most definitely we are different. THANK GOD FOR small mercies!!!!!!
That said, we are also very similar. We just find different ways to lick our wounds, but the heartache of lost loves still hurt and take a long time to truely heal. | |

If we should leave it down for the women then why shouldn't they leave it up for us?
Seems like there's mutual courtesy in the, to me... and that makes it a no brainer?
Sure it does. | |

Posted: 3/28/2009 11:36:36 PM | Let's see...maybe it's just common sense that men lack...because leaving the toilet seat up for you causes everyone else in the house to fall into said toilet if they have to pee in the middle of the night !!
Seriously...is the huge opening in a toilet seat really not large enough to aim through !!!?????? | |

Posted: 3/28/2009 11:49:39 PM | im still waiting to meet this woman whos azz is actually small enough to fall into the bowl
i mean cmon, would you normally just plop down on a toilet seat after a man has just taken a pizz?
i mean really? we dont have the best aim and it does spray
you all should be thankful that us men even take the time to actually lift the seat up to begin with
how bout from now on
you chix just assume the seat is down and act accordingly. oh and heres something to ponder........................ QUIT USIN ALL THE DARN TOILET PAPER ALREADY , SHAKE IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE YOU USE THE WHOLE ROLL TO SOP IT UP WITH. either that or shave it so it doesnt get so darned soggy
thank you
hehe | |

Posted: 3/28/2009 11:50:20 PM | | I think it might be the sprinkle of the tinkle or the splash of the dash that no one can guarantee is clean water that is the biggest complaint on the down position of the toilet seat when men are using it! That first release may not go as aimed!! | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 10:24:45 AM | | Men and women are both human and it takes little to no effort for humans to be together if they care about each other. Most times the "different" topic comes up when one of the two is delusional, so, if one of you feel unhappy at all about the relationship - well, it is what it is and it won't change. Beware of the speed bumps in the road and slow down because it's not worth it to have to get your supension fixed because you saw them too late. | |

Posted: 3/30/2009 9:46:21 AM | hey!!!
wait a min...I used to make pyrogies!!!
a second on the lips..forever on the hips...
I dated a guy for a few months..and he got a bit P O'd at me cause I actually never put the seat totally down..as in you know..closed..he thought it didn't look nice walking into a bathroom having to look at an opened toilet..I just chuckled and made sure I ALWAYS put the whole seat, (two lids down)...I think I got a little appreciation of how a guy feels when us ladies say..PUT THE SEAT DOWN!!!...whatever..thanks Phil!!
I as well believe that we are ALL looking for the same thing..however some of us want to hide behind BFF's, FF, FWB, whatever..in the core/soul of us, we are looking for the one that makes our hearts go pitter and patter and vise versa..for longer then 3 months....yup..for a lifetime....
The big difference is in how we comminicate on a daily basis...men vs woman is totally different...
Woman need to talk and vent..we just do..it is how we process things...by then end of our vent session...we know what to do...but we need that process in our brains to let it out...and as we let it out and process..we get our answers.
Men are different..in that they are more...fixer's...talk for them is a waste of time and blah blah blah..and they consider it nagging....when we present them with a problem, they want to fix it..hence..we feel that they are trying to fix us...they AREN"T..they are just processing the information different..they go into fix mode..and we freak cause we just want to vent..
I have learned today to go to my gurl's for awesome vent sessions..and leave knowing what I will do...
And have learned to go to my male freinds for direct fix type problems..
I do love it when I find a man that I can have deep conversation's with..LOVE IT!!..hard to fine though...
anyhow..my book is coming out in the fall...
sorry for the blah blah blah...
teeheehee

Posted: 3/30/2009 10:11:13 AM | Off the top of my head:
1. Women don't stare at men's nipples when they perk!
2. A woman's goal in life is NOT to see girl-on-girl action!
3. A woman's bestfriend is not behind her zipper.
4. Women can ALWAYS fake it - men need Viagra.
5. Men think of sex 6 times daily - women 6 times a month.
6. Women act like ladies but think like men - if men do the same, they're gay.
7. If a woman kills her family she's a monster - if a man does, he was under stress...ugh!
8. Men try to fix things - women know how to fix everything.

OK this one I never understood.
If I put the lid down (which, by the way, I always do ...grew up with 5 sisters) and you go pee in the middle of the night without checking, doesn't it spray all over the lid, onto the floor, etc?
I'm thinking that would be a lot messier than simply having your tush touch the water.
Also, it's been my experience that most women I have heard complain about this would not be able to fit their tush into an open toilet bowl anyway | |
