Men vs. Women

Ok, so let me start by admitting (which most won't) that I know NOTHING about the "fairer sex". The more I THINK I learn and amass about the female gender, the less I understand. As soon as I think I have it down to a science, I'm blind-sided by some new development. There is no one on Earth that fully understands their opposite sex... Because in truth, men and women don't truly understand their own sexes...

That being said, there are, however, similarities within the sexes that gives a woman more knowledge on women and a man more knowledge on men, obviously.

But do me a favor when you get the chance... Go into any bookstore and head to the relationship aisle. Pick up 20 books about men. You'll generally be able to spot these by key phrases in the title like "The Truth About..." or "What Men Really Want" or "How to Please Your Man...". Next thing I'd like you to do is take a look at the author...

Get my point? 9 times out of 10 the author's name is Beverly or Nancy or Barbara or something like that. Now, I mean no offense if there are men out there with these names (school must have SUCKED!), but I'd venture to say these names belonged to women.

"What Men Really Want"... by a woman??? Isn't that somewhat oxymoronic in itself?

If you have to buy a book to TELL you want men want and you're not asking... A MAN, you've got problems before you start. For the most part, men are fairly forthcoming with what it is we want, sometimes to a fault. Perhaps the reason you can't seem to "please" him (in whatever aspect that may be) is because either you aren't ASKING and assuming you know or... you've got the wrong man...

Now this goes both ways. There are plenty of books about women, written by men. But to save time you can assume from here on out that my sentiments are meant for both men and women alike.

In my opinion (and that's all it is), many of the problems stem from assumption and expectation. Assumption that "he's gonna like the same things the last guy did". Or perhaps the expectation that "if she has a problem, she'll say so".

The true and simple fact is, as simple as most women assume we are, not all guys like the same things. And perhaps (I say perhaps because again, I can never know anything for 100% sure about women because the manual seems to change hourly) we men assume too often that women are going to react as we would and when they don't, assume everything is ok.

Wonder what kinda world it'd be if women SAID what they meant instead of always waiting for men to "figure it out"... And if men actually ASKED a few more questions to find things out...

Well, as always, this is opinion and definitely open for discussion...

Love Up...
