Women Makin Me Mad!

[JohnD]

Not angry so much as just mad. Insane in the brain. You're all flippin' crazy, and unfortunately I have to be the one who says it ad nauseum.

[scOtt]

Not going to pry... but yeah. They think different from us. There's no denying, not getting around it. No consolation, but I think we piss em off as much as they do us.

Venus and Mars.

[JohnD]

Hey, I'm not innocent. But they're just crazy!

[scOtt]

Hey, I'm not innocent. But they're just crazy!
They sure are! You think you understand the curveball they just threw you, and you're trying to deal with THAT, when they throw a left-handed Gregg Olson curveball at you.

I swear they and we are wired differently.

[scOtt]

My only advice is:

1. Count to ten
2. Think about what she means to you
3. Count to ten again
4. Acquiesce and grovel


:p

[JohnD]

Ha, ya see I've done nothing wrong. I'm in no trouble per se, since I literally haven't done ANYTHING. They (yes, this could be a plural situation) are just nutty.

[Dr. FLK]

Just think to yourself..."at least they are attractive....at least they are attractive..." It makes it easier to deal with the craziness then.:D

[BaltimoreTerp]

Don't get TOO mad, because outside of women, I doubt you have too many other options.

I'm with you. And I'm not afraid to say it either!

One day you'll find one who's VERY not as crazy as the rest of them. Someday you'll find one who will tell a Red Sox fan she'll knock him out, mean it, and be capable of it without expecting your involvement. Someday, John, you'll find one you're willing to clean up a spilled drink for.

Did I mention Mrs. Baseball is starting Brazillian Ju-Jitsu classes next week? It all started because I like the UFC and mixed martial arts. That's love right there, brother.

[bobmc]

I feel you bro but echo SB's thoughts. Sometimes it takes a little while to get it right. It took me three times (meaning marriages - not women) but I finally found the one! Plod on and eventually it will all work out! :)

[scOtt]

Took me a long time too. To find one who knows sports like us, likes guy movies as much as chick flicks, can and has defended herself, cooks like a chef, swears like a trucker, drives like Andretti, argues like a philosopher, taught her son how to throw a curveball, and still dolls up with the best of 'em. Hang in there.

[blueberryale77]

Someday, men will understand that if a woman spends 8 or more hours a day working, 4 hours cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry for men, and 4 hours making herself look like supermodel, she's not going to have much time left to learn about baseball statistics. Until then...

Double standards makin me mad! :p

[JohnD]

Shoot I do my own cookin and my own laundry. That alone makes me a keeper. And independent of all that, you're all still crazy!

Then again, maybe I need to start cleaning up ice off the sidewalk, just like my pal Scottie haha.

[cindyluvsbrady]

Hey guys you are not all easy to figure out either and your not prefect.Ive only met one perfect guy.My Perfect One!:002_sdrool: Brian Roberts!:002_ssmile:

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you just happen to be attracted to crazy women? Or that if all women are crazy there's a pretty good chance all men are crazy too?

[JohnD]

Yes. And yes! It's all lunacy.

And Cindy, I can still see what you said! And I've been guilty of that sometimes, no doubt about it!

[blueberryale77]

Yes. And yes! It's all lunacy.

And Cindy, I can still see what you said! And I've been guilty of that sometimes, no doubt about it!

Honestly, I don't think it's the people who are crazy, it's the situation. Dating is crazy!

[JohnD]

No, I blame your gender. I think it's science.

[blueberryale77]

No, I blame your gender. I think it's science.

Silly boy. It's not science or women, its...










MIGUEL TEJADA!!!!!

[JohnD]

Dawwwwww, how could I forget! And after all the nice things I said about him. I've got his Vitamin B-12 right here!!!!

[JohnD]

This needs to be reiterated tonight, and perhaps exponentially so later on. Enjoy your weekends!!!

[JohnD]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Gurgi]

Is it worth the hassle of finding another one? They are all just as nuts. Once you put a down payment down your stuck with the mortgage.

[JohnD]

Might be better than trying to recycle.

[elextrano8]

Guys are stupid. But chicks are flat-out crazy.

I'll take being stupid over being crazy any day of the week.

Most of the time when myself and my buddy James talk to each other about how the BP went, it does not mean "Batting Practice."

It means "Bi-Polar."

Because that is what every woman we have ever dated is like. Granted, he's been with the same girl for six years out of 19 total. I'm lucky if I make it three months. :P

[BillySmith]

Ha, ya see I've done nothing wrong. I'm in no trouble per se, since I literally haven't done ANYTHING. They (yes, this could be a plural situation) are just nutty.


This may be the exact problem, John. You have to do SOMETHING. The trick now is to figure out what you DIDN'T do. :)

[scOtt]

John either did something he wasn't supposed to, or didn't do something he was supposed to.

God John, didn't you see her body language signs? Can't you read her mood? Can't you read minds???




:p :eek: :rolleyes: :confused: :002_ssad: :cool:

[JohnD]

It's about six bazillion times more complicated than that. I'm not going to go too deep into it, but dang, I must be good enough to be unforgettable haha.

[Old#5fan]

Take it from a guy who will soon to be married for 24 years if I make it 10 more days, that you can get yourself into all kinds of trouble by not doing ANYTHING. Believe it. I has happened to me more times than I can count. I believe if a bird flew over my house and crapped on the roof, my wife would somehow blame that event on me!:eek:

I also believe the more physically attractive and beautiful a woman is (again, my wife is a perfect example) the more crazy they act! I wonder if the stats guru's here could work up some kind of statistical analysis to show support for that?;) :p :o

[Hank Scorpio]

Find your kwan, JD!!!!!!!!

Remember, a woman is like a beer. They smell good, they look good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one! But you can't stop at one.

I can 5000% vouch for this.

The is a direct correlation between hotness and lunacy... with the one variable being age.

Hot = Crazy

Young + Hot = Crayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyzy

But man, they sure are fun. :D :D :D

Guys are, in fact, stupid. I am learning this all over again right now. IDIOTS!!

And yes, there are a lot of crazy chicks out there. They drive me nuts and I don't even have to date them.

[The Wedge]

Here's my over simplistic and broad generalization theory:

Men think in straight lines.
Women think in circles and curves.

Example: Ask a male significant other "Hey, the girls want me to go out with them on Friday night, is that okay?" Odds are the response given back is straight forward and without context or conditions or strings. Yes or no and the whys. Ask a female significant other, and you might get the whole "sure" response when in reality, you're about to commit a federal offense of the heart...

Like I said, broad generalization and not always true, but if you try to rationalize the thought patterns of both sexes in that manner, it helps a bit.

Women who think like that, without given a reason to, are nuts. Not all of us think without logic.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying without logic. I'm saying that men tend to think straight to the point, no subtlety. Door won't open, pull harder type thinking. Women will think all the way around the issue. It's not an inherently bad thing, but both sides have their downfalls. For instance, a woman will not say what she means, but try to get her man to acquiesce. This is a bad mix according to my theory, because the guy goes straight while the woman is going in curves. Hence the "woman says "that's fine," guy hears "that's fine" woman meant "you better not" problem."

Women who don't say what they mean are digging their own grave. It's like faking it during sex. What the hell is the point? You'll never get what you want that way.

Eh, what about men who don't bother following up? Same example, same mentalities, both have negative problems.

Which is why I would always press the issue three times. That was my fallback to my own theory...press any issue three times, if they don't spill any info after being pressed three times, not my fault. I tried. I'm absolved, onus of blame now on crazy girl who doesn't tell me what she wants. ;)

Yup, you have to absolve yourself from guilt.

Kinda like the CYA theory....

"I asked you THREE TIMES!!!!!!!"

"Well, you shoulda asked four."

Yeah, know your opposition. If you're dating a girl who doesn't say what she means, and you're ok with that, try to look past the letter of what she says. Observe body language and context. Ask her "is that really what you mean?". Otherwise you'll get burned when she flips out on you, regardless of your "But you SAID...." argument.

[Hank Scorpio]

Usually, this kind of argument is indicative of a larger problem.

Just my opinion.

[Flosman]

I have always thought the women wanted the man to stop, so in a way the women is getting what she wants. I understand that she is not getting want she really wants, but I guess it is whats she does when it becomes hopeless. Kinda of like when we go to the BP lately.

[scOtt]

Here's my over simplistic and broad generalization theory:

Another example. A woman has a problem, with work, a friend, whatever. She tells her bf about it.

The first thing a guy does is try to figure a way to fix the problem.

All the woman wanted was a sympathetic ear. To vent.

[Old#5fan]

Take it from me after twenty four years marriage (if I can make it another 10 days) that women don't tell you what they mean or want because they expect you to figure it out, and if you don't there will be hell to pay. There may be exceptions but they are in the minority I do believe.

Great example. Guy thinks straight ahead "she's telling me this because she wants me to do something about it." Two thumbs up.

I have one friend in particular I always end up at odds with because of this. She doesn't want to hear my ideas on how to fix a situation, she just wants to "vent". I get sick of hearing her complain, I offer solutions to her problems. For some reason, this annoys her. In turn, I get annoyed as well.

[JohnD]

All women need to start thinking like you. Goodness gracious.

[2632]

Oh yes, I am friends with said friend as well and we have the same problem. She tells me it's because I have a "male communication style" in that I identify the problem and try to find the most direct route to fixing it.

You're allowed to complain for five minutes. Beyond that, it's just self-indulgent and isn't doing anything but annoying other people.

Also, say what you mean. If you don't say what you mean and someone - usually a guy - takes it at face value, then you can't be upset with him for taking you at your word. People shouldn't have to look for double and hidden meanings in things. Communication shouldn't be that hard. We have enough problems without that.

[Basegirl]

Of course we are. Have we, or have we not had this discussion with rolliefingers (or whatever the heck his screen name is now) like a billion times?

There is always the male intimidation factor to consider as well. Like that guy who could no longer talk to us once we brought up our fantasy football teams.

But to get back to the original statement, yes, women, most women, are completely insane. I don't understand them and I'm allegedly one of them. Better you guys than me.

[scOtt]

Apparently, we're dudes.
Is why I love Squeeze. She's the dude-est chick I ever met, along with all the girly stuff.


The opposite of what I said...

Guy has a problem with work, a friend, whatever. Tells his gf.

She's like Poor baby. Let me give you a hug.

Guy is like Don't condescend to me, help me fix this!

:p



It's a wonder the human race survives...

[JohnD]

Dude-ish chicks, who still look like hot chicks, totally rock.

[longflyball]

Where is Squeeze? I haven't seen her around since my return to OH. She was fun to argue with in the PF.

By that definition, I would suspect that the vast majority of women on the OH are "dudes." There are plenty of women out there who aren't drama queens and plenty of guys who are. Most actual dudes, however, tend to subconsciously prefer dating the drama queen types. I have two theories on why this is:

#1: Men tend to like to be in control in the relationship and the women who are all touchy-feely (in the emotional sense, obviously guys are going to like girls who are "touchy-feely" in the physical sense) tend to also be the types who let the guy drive all the time and decide where they go on all their dates, change their interests and hobbies to reflect their man's, etc. That personality type, which certainly is more common among women than men, manifests itself as submissiveness or passivity early in the relationship and then passive aggressive behavior later on, so if guys don't understand it they can be hopelessly hooked by the time the "craziness" appears.

#2: My other theory is simpler: the guys lust after the drama and get off on complaining about it.

OK, to be a little serious... I like guys who are shorter, fatter and darker than Brandon Fahey. But more importantly, I like guys who treat me like an equal, don't try to live up to some lame stereotype of masculinity, and realize that both women and men are unique individuals and you can't make assumptions that all women like this, don't like that or act a certain way just because they're women.

An intelligent guy who is not intimidated by smart a female. Doesn't mind a challenge, treats me as an equal but still is chivalrous enough to care about me having enough air in my tires. Funny and easy going is a must.

I know a lot of women can be over the top, they annoy me just as much as you because they give my sex a bad rep :)

You guys are good. Respect and a good sense of humor can make things go a long way. You gotta have a lot of fun in life, and you all seem to be looking for the right things.

It is so easy to be beaten down by people who are supposed to love you the most. That's why a mutual respect, IMHO, is critical.

You sound like SquEEze*. She says the same about me. We have discussions about physics, very heated discussions about religion, politics (not much discussion... we both lean slightly left... :p ) all kinds of other topics. Talk trash about baseball and football.

Years ago she was something of a boy toy (she's grown up now...) Sometimes she asks me about it. She'll say that a lot of guys are intimidated by a smart woman. They would rather have a pretty piece of fluff on their arm. She asks if that bugs me. I say HELLS no! I don't want some bubble-headed trophy wife. I want a partner, a friend, an equal, a confidant.

But also like you said, SquEEze says she loves it when I open the car door for her, jump to defend her in a devolving thread on another board. She's a perfect mix, and I guess I am for her too.

A Dr. and his son are involved in a terrible car crash. Both are in critical condition and are sent to different hospitals.

The attending Dr. looks at the son and says "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son."

How is this possible?



You all assume I have more money than SquEEze. :p

[The Wedge]

Actually, I think I remember reading or being told that she's not hurting...but of course, I said you could be chivalrous. That has nothing to do with her actually neeeeeeeeeding you to do it for her. ;)
