I think I figured out women

[geekwarrior]

Naw. I think people need to think more about what they want. I think if men are shallow enough to just want sex, women should be able to see through that. And we usually do. Hence the song and dance you guys have to perform to get us in bed.

see guys...in all reality, women have all the power.

It's apparent who wears the pants in your relationship.

Fantastic innuendo btw, how long did it take you to come up with that?

Didn't even think of it that way until you said it.... hmm, Im slipping

Or maturing, one or the other .

Lohman is dating a nymphomaniac, which he conveniently "forgot" to mention... :P

When with any other nympho that happens to be nearby, do the following:

"Hi, I'm a guy"

Works like a charm

The only pre-requisite is that you look presentable and don't have bad breath. The level of success is also dependant on the level of nympocity.

Here's a good read I found from a forum dealing with people having troubles with women:

~ It never changes ~

Women will always be a difficult creature to figure out. However, to save you a few decades of headaches, the secret is to not try to understand them. They're a hassle because we speak different languages, both bodily and verbally. We think completely different. For those people who want to wave flags about how genders are equal, they simply are dulled on some kind of medication. Men & Women are very, very different. And we will always be trying to catch up to them in terms of "figuring them out." The big deal is, they don't understand us either. So at least we have that small perk.

It will not change. You fill find that trying to understand, "deal" with, logically explain things to, do things for, love and hate a woman is always going to be a difficult thing for you.

And it's not her fault.

~ There's hope ~

There's a turning point in life that many men finally cross, but some never do. That point is a line, where the problems we have with women, fade away. And no, it's not when you become impotent. Let me start by giving you an example, from the opposite gender here. Women are not at ease or understanding of men, just as much as we are not of them. Women get along great with several types of men though, quickly: married older men and gay men. There are others, but those are two biggest groups. The reason they have an easier time with women, is because the woman understands that neither of these two types of men should be looking at them in terms of attraction anymore. Now, it makes no sense to a man, but a woman feels much differently than we think. She's much more at ease with men that she doesn't feel are going to try to get her or want her in a sexual way. So she instantly can befriend these types of men and have fun times, without the ever constant stress of sex in the picture. It makes a huge difference.

The same thing happens to men. But the problem is, even when the tables are turned, men will still "think" and "feel" as if none of that mattered. Men will still lust after married women (taken women), lesbian women and older women. It just happens. It doesn't matter to men as the labels that the women have aren't enough to stop the men's drive to want them. So this creates a problem for men, who can't just be friendly or get along with someone, because they catch themselves thinking about sex all the time.

The turning point that I spoke of, is when the man finally let's go of his lone wolf persona where he's in love with his girlfriend or wife, but when she's not around, he thinks of sex with other women and constantly tries to be charming or attractive with other women, even if he's taken. This is a huge problem--because women may be more inclined to be comfortable with the married/taken man, but she doesn't realise that he doesn't even consider that and is looking at her and thinking about sex regardless. So she may seem friendly and the man may seem safe (which leads to big mess ups or affairs mostly).

So that turning point - is when the man basically stops thinking about how it would be with that other woman and instead basically took on the devoted role to his woman. When his woman trusts him to not be chasing other women. And when other women know that as attractive and charming you may be, there's no way you'd do anything other than your woman/wife. It's basically an attitude shift. Women hone in on this quickly too. They can see it a mile away. Lots of men retain their "chase" attitude even after 10 years of marriage or being with someone in a serious relationship. It's how he accidentally ignores her and messes things up. When you finally reach the point where you stop chasing women and there's only that one in your life, things get dramatically easier.

It's totally fine to still look at women, think of sex or any of that stuff. But the difference is, in your head, you know you aren't going to try to get her nor is she going to go for you because you're happily in love with your woman/wife and you're content with that. At this stage in life, you will find that you suddenly get along with almost all the women you meet, they will all be friendly with you and you with them and life suddenly gets easier and you never even had to attempt to understand them. Instead, you just fix the little conflict that comes between men and women in terms of attraction and you know your place. A lot of guys will think that's what they do, from ages 12 to 80, but it's very rarely the case. If it were true, it would show; and if it doesn't show, it's because you're just telling that to yourself, but your body doesn't listen to that. It's not just a mental change, but also a physical change, where you literally can enjoy the sight of a beautiful woman, but your body wants the loving one that you have at home. Your brain simply follows... and life becomes oh-so-easy.

Cheers!

That's a big generalization, but I think it drives home the point. And it's also subject to which culture you hail from.

Key to understanding women? Well, impossible...However, for some uncanny reason, my living with 3 sisters, and having 2 mothers (step and biological) both in my life give me a wee bit of understanding as to how they react to basically every situation, since my youngest sister is now 13, I have another at 18, and another at 22... Then I'm smacked into (today, woot for birthdays...Wait, why am I on AO??) being 16...

Nicely enough, they all have boyfriends, so it's nice to sit back and take mental notes as to why they come home pissed off, crying or jumping for joy. Now, if I could just understand these crazy Germans I'm living as an exchange student with, apparently the initial laws of women aren't international in all cases.... These unfamiliar creatures are a much different breed, I can only hope that once one breaks through the beginning ideology of German women, the chemistry and what makes them tick is all the same underneath.. Because if not, then I'd be truly confused.

My experiences and thoughts wrapped up into a nice short package? Learn to downsize your ego, listen to them, show emotions, compliment them, in a fight NEVER-EVER raise your voice and don't be afraid to actually listen to them; they're in an argument with you for a reason, not just for you to restate your opinion over and over...Finally, do things for them when you think they are not looking. Somehow, when you do, they notice

Perhaps I should write a small book, give it to someone like Tropical Fishy and see how much I don't know

I don't claim to speak for all women... but I hate this whole "women are illogical" thing. Way to be a sexist moron!

I am not illogical. Nor are many of the women I know. I find that when a man tries to "unravel the mystery of woman," he normally ends up just revealing his sexism, ego, and idiocy. Just because we don't think like you, or feel the same way as you doesn't make us illogical. It makes us DIFFERENT. How about this: a man gets run over by a tractor. He's in intense pain, BUT, he can't show it and doesn't want to go to the hospital, because he wants to be a "manly man" for the woman he's trying to impress. Talk about illogical. Or how about the five or six times I've put guys to sleep in jiu jitsu because they wouldn't tap out for a female? Yeah. Women are illogical. That's right. We're the ones with egos so big we can't let it go.

Maggot had some good insights. Let me restate, just in case y'all missed it:

Let's compare this to this steaming pile of BS:

So that turning point - is when the man basically stops thinking about how it would be with that other woman and instead basically took on the devoted role to his woman. When his woman trusts him to not be chasing other women. And when other women know that as attractive and charming you may be, there's no way you'd do anything other than your woman/wife.

When you finally reach the point where you stop chasing women and there's only that one in your life, things get dramatically easier.

How about this: not every woman's goal in life is to snag a husband! Gasp! This kind of attitude is what makes me despair of ever being in a relationship with a guy again. If you refer to your girlfriend as your "woman," you need an attitude re-adjustment.

You are more than welcome to lust after other women. But it is not allowed to infringe upon the relationship you're in. You are not allowed to treat women like property. It is NOT FUNNY, it is not clever. None of you will probably ever have the experience of feeling like you are another person's property. You will never have to feel like your only place in life is "so and so's girlfriend/boyfriend." So next time you laugh about "why women shouldn't be allowed to drive/there's no highway from the kitchen to the bedroom," consider that you're not talking about an animal, you're talking about another human f-ing being. Sometimes you people make me sick.

It makes us DIFFERENT.

The Difference Between Men and Women:

A man is driving up a winding mountain road. As he is approaching a corner, another car comes around the corner in the opposite direction. A woman sticks her head out of the window and yells, "PIG!" So the man sticks his head out of the window and screams, "COW!"

Then the man speeds around the corner and crashes into the pig.

Tropical Fishy,

I've tapped out to girls before and blah blah blah (you would tl;dr if I went on), but when it comes to relationships I still find some sort of switch that turns a girl crazy and illogical. I haven't experienced anything too far out yet. As you said, it's okay to lust after others... How come girls go absolutely crazy if you have a lapse and just stare at some other girl in her presence? I mean, the worst for me is having the girl just give me look and then she gives me crap about it later in the evening. But in other cases, I've seen it ruin relationships! WTF is up with that?

just want some inside insight about why some girls think it's such a big deal that they aren't the only attractive girl in the world.
