16) When women ask questions, they may not want an answer.   They may be looking for reassurance and for as many times as they SHOULD have learned better ...   they keep looking to US for it.  

17) It's relatively easy to put a thought out of your mind, but it's much harder to put an emotion out of your heart.   Women are constantly assaulted by their own emotions and each time, they analyze the emotion for what it may mean TODAY, even if they just checked in with it yesterday.   Every time she asks, tell her that yes, you really do love her.   It shows a weakness, yes, but it's easier for you to live with that weakness known than it is to her to live with that question unanswered.  

18) Women want monogamy because it represents to them consistency and security.   She already knows that you'd like a three way with her cute girlfriend and a part of her isn't opposed.   The problem is that a much BIGGER part is afraid that it will lead one day to you and her girlfriend asking her to join YOU TWO for a three way.   There ISN'T enough reassurance to make THIS ONE go away ...   so give it up along with that dream you had of being a rock star.  

19) Women grieve for past relationships, usually with help from their friends.   They even have the emotional equivalent of a funeral for the dead relationship, then they heal and move on.   But they never forget it, and a part of them looks at every move you make for signs of similarity.   When she talks about her past relationships ...   LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION.  

20) When they fight with us, they worry that they haven't hurt us enough and that we'll heal too quickly.  

21) When we finally win a woman, they hope we'll change.   We never do.  

Women are always asking us not to have `locker room' talk about her with our friends.   We don't of course, but they assume we do because THEY have locker room talks about us with THEIR friends and they share everything.   Habits, quirks, weaknesses, penis size, love making techniques, EVERYTHING.   Be afraid.   Be VERY afraid.  

You know, megapig, with all due respect, I don't find this kind of reasoning useful at all.  I take people as individuals and then their actions tell me about them - you approach the world thinking you know about everyone in advance and you completely miss out on the fact that there are all kinds of people out there that don't conform to those stereotypes at all.  It's like applying statistical data to a single subject; generalizations, even if arguably true,  don't have relevance at the individual level.

You are correct Anya ... I never recognized that there's more than one woman in the whole world.  Or that anyone could possibly be an individual.  That fact completely escaped me.

Sheesh.  The problem with mass communication.  You say that "humans have two hands"  and someone will challenge the statement because not "everyone" does.

He says MOST but not ALL women make less than men and really want to be taken care of.

Than some girl calls in and says "That's not true,I make more and could care less about a man."

We all have selective hearing

If you mean Tom Leykis.
I belive the quote that somes up his out look on male female relationships is.
"Men get the best lookin women they can afford, and women get the richest men they can attract."

If women were as easy to understand as these messages imply.  I don't think anyone would have a need for this website.  Life and emoitions are not so cut and dry.  You can't classify people into segments and fragments.  Some things are just not so easy to comprehend.

Right on, Anya.

Anya, This is what makes megapig a pig. Comes with the territory.
Don't try to change a Tiger's stripes.

And there wouldn't be any stereotypes if there weren't enough people acting sterotypically.

Because they're infinitely more complicated and they want 2000 choices for every minute detail in their lives. Including their men.  We have no chance...

Megapig, I don't care what anyone else says, generally speaking, you are absolutely right.  As the result of two marriages, this one lasting 20 years, I have seven daughters, and I think I know women as well as any man can.  They are incredibly emotional beings, which is not a condemnation, rather a compliment.  I would never presume to understand their choices in men, clothes, careers, etc., and, conversely, I do not suspect that they really understand anything men do.  They have always been, and will always continue to be, a mystery.

and stuffs her head first in the firelpace?

Maybe he was consumed with burning desire.
Nothin like a hot young chicken.
Maybe she had the same problem as the 50000 batterd woman every year.

They just wouldn't FXXKIN listen

Actually, I've always gone for poor guys because I feel less threatened that they will leave...but that's just me.
