men and women

so frat asked me to do this blog type thing for him about men and women and whatnot. signals and things. i am trying to do it to occupy myself right now because i need it. so here are some rough thoughts from when i started thinking.

why do men and women see things so differently? its like we can see the same thing and make different interpretations. i may be sending signals out like "i like you" and he might be getting "she's friendly". in the misinterpretations come problems that start small and end big. where do men and women connect so that the communication paths are clear? its hard for me to say personally because all in all PEOPLE IN GENERAL dont get me. i am a weird, nerdy type chick with a beautiful mind. men and women miscontrue so much about each other in signals and hints when a lot of things can be avoided if we just came out and said what we needed. sadly this doesnt always work and when the smoke clears and everything comes out, relationships have ended, you realize "if i would have said that sooner and if they would have said that sooner everything would have been alright". men think they are so simple but they are not. everything is really cut and dry for them but sometimes it is so blatantly simple that it's complex. women sometimes cant see in black and white, we are not naturally as colorblind as men are, we see in 256 color combinations. we cant get "i'm tired. i dont want to talk" when 95% of the time we have been taught "when a man aint interested he's going to say he's tired". what do we see on television? men who have lost interest in their women and coming home and saying "honey i am tired". so when you are honest and cut and dry we aren't going to get it, we haven't been taught that. we need explaination, we need reassurance. men don get women either because they are so to the point. they dont get why we need explaination. in their minds they are doing all they can do not realizing that those extra words can mean so much. signals between men and women have a fundamental block that can only be removed by two individuals who care enough to make it through the trials and tribulations of life together: those who do not let a single instance break great things apart. those who have a similar desire, need, hope and want.


p.s. i am not giving away your idea. i am just brainstorming. :o)
