Thread: Are all Women Crazy?

Second- who are you to tell this man that he doesn't love this woman??? You have NO IDEA what his (or anyone else's) situation really is on a day to day basis. He can post about his problems wherever he wants to. THAT is his choice. It doesn't display any lack of love. Maybe on the other hand you've never experienced love so can't speak personally about the struggles that come along with it. Get rid of that holier than thou attitude and then maybe your contribution to this thread can be taken a little more seriously.

EDIT: Not a personal attack here- I like Mark, I really do. Just think that his post was way off.

How comes that, when someone of the members has a problem with a razor he bought, everyone always advices to talk to the vendor first and try to reach a friendly agreement, while on matters of the heart we cannot exceed stereotype thinking and typical male truisms?

Imo, there's only one useful platitude on this topic: "Love is a verb". Listen more than you talk, and try to be close to each other in the things you both share and give each other room in the things you don't share. Be passionate at night and friendly in the morning. That goes a long way.

All the best,

Bart.

If you are upset by what you believe is mysogyny in this thread, then please stay away from Men Are Better Than Women, by Dick Masterson

(For what it's worth I have a theory that Dick Masterson is really a lesbian with a fake moustache having a laugh at everybody's expense! )

It's a bit harsh to accuse us of mysogyny for making a joke ortwo at women's expense. Us men have to put up with more insults than women. When was the last time you watched through a commercial break on TV without there being at least one advert portraying a man as an idiot? Equality of the sexes is a great idea, I hope we men get it one day.

Better yet find a sitcom about a family relationship where the guy isn't as a moron. The simpsons, Family Guy, That Tim Allen show, Something about Raymond, the list goes on and on.

a question, if you're worried about your razors, have you had something in the past she messed up to spite you? sounds like it, or a previous girlfriend.

This one hasn't done anything like that, but I was with a woman previously who did stuff like that. I just wasn't taking any chances. Don't get me wrong, There's lots of sutff she can tear up if she wants. My jeep, my Harley, My Japanese Katana's, etc, etc, etc...since this is a razor forum, it seemed logical.
Turns out, she is PMS ing, and as you said, that's no excuse. No one should have to put up with crap.
That's why I got divorced.

We're all the same, dincha know? ("didn't you know" for non-Americans.) We're all little Barbie dolls who go completely berserk on account of our hormones. Only solution is for you to either go gay or go celibate.

How did we get to be so crazy? I'm glad you asked!

Because we fixed a wonderful dinner for our man, and waited for him to come home and enjoy it...and waited...and waited...and waited....

And then finally, after we fell asleep on the couch, worried sick he'd been in a car wreck, we were woken up by the sounds of him drunkenly lurching and slamming the door and hollering, "Hey, baby, I'm baaack, gimme a beer, willya, there's a replay of a game I wanna see on the ESPN5003 channel!"

When we started to mention the nice dinner we fixed, we were interrupted--as usual--with a wave of his hand. "Naw, baby, I ain't hungry, me and Lisa--uh, I mean me and the GUYS--we already ate tons of pizza, double-meat bacon-stuffed cheeseburgers, Super Extra Grande Nachos and I'm stuffed."

"Oh, and listen up, baby--you missed a spot on the floor here where the cat barfed so get out the vacuum cleaner right now and fix it, 'cause my buddies are 10 minutes behind me and I don't want 'em to think I live in a dump or anything."

This, my friend, is why we're crazy. Because y'all made us this way!


(Damn, that was fun--somebody ask me another one!)

I understand where your coming from, but this isn't the case with me, believe me.

+1 on this.

This thread has gone on for 60 ish replies so there is little point in me doing anything about it anymore, but I think it is a little disgusting that so many people seem to be ok with belittling women or people whining about how bad / crazy / stupid their wife / gf is.

This has nothing to do with PCness, but with respect. nothing more; nothing less.

If your relationship is so bad that life doesn't seem worth living, and that you can't trust your precious belongins with her, then it is messed up beyond hope and you have to get out. Or would you rather have kids first? So that their lives are screwed up too?

And if your relationship is not so bad, then what are you complaining about? Yes, women are different then men. I'm not perfect and my wife is not perfect. That's part of being married. Deal with it.
If you have real problems, then seek counseling and try to salvage. But make a choice either way and stop badmouthing your wife / gf.

I think this is a female trait - I keep meaning to read Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus but haven't gotten around to it, but everytime I used to see him on TV I was like "yeah!, that's right."

My mom has this tendency whenever she is mad at me to throw things away that remind her of me, or even worse, take all the kids toys she keeps around for my kids and puts them in the attic. My ex-gf used to do something like that - this was years ago but I think she'd throw away pictures. I think it's because they put more emotional association into these things, so that's one way of striking back or telling themselves they are putting you behind them - because if they attack your stuff, it's a big statement becasue they think we associate with them in the same way they do. Whereas guys are like "why waste property - I'm ****ed at her."

On the PMS, that kind of is an excuse - it's just chemical - when I had a gf that had REALLY bad periods, I would tell her that was "her special weekend" and we'd do whatever she wanted, and if she got randomly mad at me I'd tell her she was right because it was her special weekend, and that always seemed to make her laugh. So don't hold the PMS against her. I think in the past I had a gf that made her special weekends more dealable wiht a birth control pill htat jived with her biology. Might check with a doctor on that, partic if she is on a pill because it might be a mix that doesn't agree with her.

Ok, so I got this great wusthof this week.......

Works for me.

1. Listen to them

2. Try a little tenderness

3. Don't shoot all the dogs cause some of them got fleas.

4. Show as much enthusiasim for her intrest as you do yours.

5. Leave her alone when she needs to be alone.

6. Little things mean a lot.

7. Sex is as much mental as it is physical.

8. Don't get in a routine that is boring.

9. They need a change of pace and environment at times just like we do.

10. THANK GOD FOR THEM

Double post!! What the??

You will know when you find the person you love. When that person is sitting alone in the spare room crying for no apparent reason, you will tear out your own heart to find out why, and ease their pain. You will give no thought to yourself, you will not care if they make sense or not.

There is nothing scientific about love and relationships. Take it from me.
