In defense of women, women find men inconsistent too. Sometimes men are sweet. They give you flowers, chocolates, etc. but then there are days when they won’t even call. Worse, sometimes you won’t hear anything from them for days and you are left wondering if he really meant anything he said or did.

One day, they are passionate like they couldn’t keep their hands off of you, the next day they ignore you because football or baseball on TV is more interesting than you. They won’t even look at you as if you are invisible! So cold, hmph!

Women, in their minds wonder if they are still beautiful in your eyes. This is why women always ask the questions “Do you love me?” or “Do you still love me?” Women always want to be desired and loved by the men they love and your answer is a reassurance.

But I think this thread is great. It makes us understand each other better, don’t you think? ^_^"

I can't deny we men do have our faults, I know I do, but topic's like this do go some way for us to understand each other better.

Sure, I totally agree.

There are big differences between men and women and we have only just started on the topic, but the main thing to remember is communication. As 2 different sexes we will always do things our partner hates or doesnt like, we just need to communicate to each other why and come to an understanding.

Which leads me to another thing women say that really really annoys men. When we do something wrong please stop saying "well, if you dont know what you did, I am not telling you"
It doesnt help.

Thanks, Dave and SHESGOTTOBE. As a man, I will accept Dave's suggestion: not answer the trick question :-) Because of your words, SHESGOTTOBE, we understand what we should correct and improve.

The times I have been told that, even my late mother used to say that to me, no wonder I was confused!

Direct vs. Subtle. To be or not to be? That is the question. LOL!

For centuries, women were trained to be reserved, demure, to be quiet and “to know their place”. Sure, times have changed but this practice is still imbedded in some families even in this day and age. In my opinion, how a woman deals with his man has something to do with how she was raised.

Direct:
Ask yourself. Can you really handle a direct woman? Women who are direct are confident women. They don't beat around the bush. They know what they want and they say it. They speak their minds because they grew up in a family where speaking up is not just tolerated but encouraged. The downside: Confident women tend to scare men away. It takes a special breed of men who can put up with confident women.

Subtle:
Many men like subservient, obedient, demure women. They have these qualities because they were raised to be that way. They were taught to give hints. They know that men have fragile egos and that his ego needs to be stroked most of the time. Are you really expecting a woman who was raised this way to be direct? If she was this way before you met, what makes you think she will change after you’re married?

Scenario:
A guy is smoking beside his girlfriend/wife who doesn’t like smoke/smoking.

Direct:
Man : What’s wrong? Are you ok?
Woman : To be honest, I don’t like smoke. It gives me a terrible headache.
Clear enough, isn’t it?

Subtle:
Man : What’s wrong? Are you ok?
Woman : No, nothing…
So the man thinks there’s really nothing wrong. -_-

Both women do not like smoking but they have a different approach to letting their men know/feel it.

Women are princesses at heart. This is why princes and knights in fairly tales are popular with the girls. They are drawn to the qualities of the characters: noble, chivalrous, honorable, romantic gentlemen. Women like being in love and being swept off their feet.

But don’t take my word for it. Just because I am a woman doesn’t mean I know all women. Women are different. That is why I have a problem with generalizations. ^_^”

Direct VS.Subtle. Which one should I choose? That is the question. Originally, I intend to choose a direct girls. But after reading what SEHSGOTTOBE's words, I have no idea which one I should choose. Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. Can I find a girl who has the advantages of both sides?

Alan, if you have to ask, I am not telling you. Oopps....:P

Thanks! I know one day I will meet him and I am willing to wait for as long as it takes because I know he is worth it.

JimmyB, I'm sure you will find and choose the right one you are looking for. I'm sure once you meet her, you will know it. Goodluck on your search!
