Precisely. I knew what he was doing. Funny how he gets mad when someone criticizes men.
Re: Why Are Women So Complicated? by Nobody: 10:49pm On Jul 03, 2009
Woman: Notices odd mood, asks 'whats wrong babe?'
Man: Just a crappy day at work.

END OF DISCUSSION, NIGHT CONTINUES---------- COMMUNICATION! No one reads minds~

Re: Why Are Women So Complicated? by iice(f): 3:26am On Jul 04, 2009
LMAO!

The op is simply saying we are complicated.  In the story, she's going through many things in her mind and emotionally as a reaction to the guy's mood (with jara from herself).

I think some people are complicated (men and women) but i do agree we take the cake.

The woman in question is compensating for her boyfriends lack of communication by over-thinking things through.

We're all adults, and guys don't pretend you don't understand how your moods and behaviour can be perceived.

I know if I'm behaving differently to how I normally behave, someone could take it as me being offended with them, even if I had just had a crappy day at work.

If I sense that the person I'm with is a little cautious because of my mood, I would start a conversation, which would reveal that I'm not in the best of moods. I guess sometimes people don't want to say a thing, but that lack of talking will lead the other person to make their own conclusions.

Would you really want a girlfriend who needs you to say things before she picks it up.
e.g. would you want her never to buy you a thing unless you explicity say; "I want that tie from. ."
Wouldn't you be amazed if through knowing you in depth she bought the tie and surprised you with it?

I think the woman should have just asked the guy as soon as she detected something, but the guy probably would have just said bluntly; "I had a crap day at work." which might have not been enough for the analytical woman in question.

Lastly:
"I got a shag though"

If my husband ever said that or thought that . . man that wouldn't be a positive thing at all. .

women are too simple that we curiously misuderstand them to be too compliated.

@Topup - Wow! She only asked him one question thru the whole drama, to which he gave a simple and truthful answer. As a man, im really trying to see his "lack of communications skiils".

Its so important to try and make sense of this from a woman's viewpoint, as its the kind of stuff I, (and many men)go through.

C'mon, you know its not that simple. A man is not a mind reader, neither is a woman.
The problem is, even when you ask a woman whats wrong, she will say "nothing, if u dont know it already, then there no point in telling u". WTF!! What can a man do?
Yes, you shd be sensitive and observant to you partners feelings, but communication is about being clear, precise and direct about what u are trying to say - Not sending out signs, signals and codes, that could be ignored or misinterpreted.

On the tie issue, i would definitely specify what & where i want it from, as its one of those things that is so easy to get wrong.

I would never say "Nothing." (and definitely not with 'smart' response afterwards) unless I didn't want to talk about the issue. If he then proceeded to move on and never ask what was wrong with me again, then I would be punching myself wishing I had just got what was on my chest. . off my chest. I am a person who likes to talk things through. . which shouldn't be a surprise to those familiar with this board grin.

I agree with you, the whole "nothing" thing is silly.

It's usually used by women not when they're trying to play mind games, but when they're doing the whole;

"I'm not going to fall into the stereotype of an emotional female, I'm going to handle this problem, and not let it affect me."

They do it just to prove something, when deep inside the issue is biting at them and they want to speak about it. If you ask again, and again, it becomes difficult to withhold the info. and there's always the excuse "He really wanted to know, what was wrong, it wouldn't be fair if I ignored him."

(There are a lot of assumptions in what I've said, I know, but that's my interpretation of it).

I never said he lacked communication skills, but there was a lack of communication. We are responsible to an extent for a tiny bit of how our actions affect others, this is passive action - it was the way he didn't act.

I'm sure if he yelled at her, we would all agree she had a right to ask what was wrong or even demand an answer.

But he did the opposite, he imploded instead, his actions changed, he wasn't himself, he was probably sad, disheartened or just fed up, and she picked up on it, which is what all people men or women should do.

You should notice when your partner is acting stranger than usual. In fact I think we should know when even casual friends are acting strange, we are accountable for those around us.

I mean how many people afterwards say things like "I thought she was acting a little strange, but I didn't know that her parent's divorce would cause her to commit suicide."

Yes, it's an extreme view, but you get what I mean.

Luckily he only had a bad day at work, and if he had just said that, then I would be here siding with the guy, saying his girlfriend should have just killed her doubts right there and then, and trusted her guy.

Re: Why Are Women So Complicated? by oyinda3(f): 10:59pm On Jul 04, 2009
lol. i wouldn't say women are more complicated. men are just as complicated in their thoughts just that they are brought up to hide their true emotions and feelings and not share it with others.

I mean i'd rather read her story than his story. lol
his doesn't even make a story. doesn't even count as one sentence.
Re: Why Are Women So Complicated? by C2H5OH(f): 7:52am On Jul 05, 2009
Don't keep trying to figure out what a girl is thinking. You will become overanalytical, and that's only going to lead you to start sporting grey hair by the time you turn 25.
Re: Why Are Women So Complicated? by whitelexi(m): 12:24pm On Jul 05, 2009
Just thinking, The story line illustrates how guys think in a very straight-to-the-point manner like: he had a crappy day at work, he's tired and he just got laid!
The girl has built 10 million skyscrappers in her thoughts, wondering why he's so quiet, why he doesn't say i love u back, why he was passive in bed, where his thoughts are. . . and the list just goes on and on.

@Poster:

If thats what u mean, then i have to agree with u. cool
