Explain how women think

Subtext is 'there's this other guy that treats me like crap and is a real pig but, like a lot of women, I really dig the bad boys who aren't nice to me so you're history'.

Might not be your situation but it's happened to me. And don't try to understand, that way leads to madness. :crying:

or what Bongomania said.

I think you are probably right on target with this analysis. I'm not saying there can't be an exception to the rule, but you seem to have pretty much summed up reality here.

A phone conversation with one of my girlfriends has me somewhat bewildered. It went as follows:
Her: I can't see you any more.
Me: Why?
Her: I like you too much.
Me: ......and?
Her: You're great. You're a gentleman, you make me feel wonderful, and I always have a good time with you. I can't stop thinking about you.
Me: So, you can't see me any more because...?
Her: I'm not used to feeling like this. It' too good.

I'm not a kid, I'm 55 and thought I knew a few things about women, but this has blown me away. Could I get a woman's view on what the problem is?

I'm not a woman, but my take is that "She's not that into you". Being nice and a gentleman goes but so far, unfortunately. At your age the women you meet usually know right away whether or not they want to be with you because they've seen a lot and have had a couple of serious relationships. The woman is either dumping you or she's bat-poop crazy, either way you don't at your age need that drama, move on to someone that "gets" where you're coming from.

I have not read the other responses, but I'm your age. This one is simple.

She's dumping you, just move on. Anyone that pulls the "your to nice" routine is not worth your time.

I'm fairly certain this is how it works. If you asked a man and a woman what half of 12 is, the man will say 6 while the woman says 7.

Male Thought Process: 12/2=6

Female Thought Process: 12=XII. Therefore, if you were to literally divide XII horizontally into two equal pieces you'd end up with VII on either side. VII = 7.

I doubt that there's anyone here who never heard this little story, but here it goes anyway:

"A young man was walking along along one of Southern California's sandy beaches with his surf board. He suddenly spots this bottle which has recently washed up on the beach. It's obvious it's been tossed around for a long time. He picks up the bottle and notices that it still has the cork intact. So, being curious as to what may be inside, he manages to get the cork out and out pops a Genie.

After expressing profound appreciation for having been let out of the bottle, the Genie grants his benefactor the classic, "one wish" and it will be yours. Being an avid surfer, it doesn't take him long to say, "I've always wanted to surf Hawaii, but I get seasick on ships and I'm afraid to fly. Would you build me a bridge to Hawaii?"

The Genie replies: "Do you know what your asking? Do you know how long the bridge would have to be? Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. And the maintenance of that bridge! No, think of another wish.

The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women ... know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment ... know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say nothing ... know how to make them truly happy ... I really want to understand women and how they think!"

The Genie responds: "Would you like that bridge with two lanes or four?""

Makes perfect sense. She's addicted to being subservient and having a more controlling/assertive boyfriend... you are just a nice guy and while it feels "good", she's not attracted to you in the same primal sense. She's rationalizing to make you feel better. Better luck next time chief.

Wait, wouldn't XII/2 = VI

II(VI)/II= VI
I'm still getting VI.

I just don't get how women get seven?:p

He's talking about the actual physical numerals being literally cut in half along a horizontal plane.

At any rate, he's wrong. That doesn't get you VII but VTT, which according to Google is a technical research centre in Finland. Or at least that's the way it turns out in this font.

You are looking at this the wrong way. There is no point trying to figure out how women think.


They don't think. They just do whatever pops into their head first, no matter how crazy it seems to a normal person. Or at least that's how it always seems to me.
