so preoccupied with their relationships. I'm saying this b/c I am including myself in the scenario. I feel like I have been so preoocupied with the other sex ever since I started noticing boys in grade school. "What are the signs if they like me? He's staring at me!" Later in life- "What is he thinking? Why is he not paying me enough attention? What's wrong with my relationship? Is he the one? Is he losing interest? Why didn't he call? Why did he say that to me in that way? What did he mean by that?" On top of it- women have to worry about getting pregnant, STD's, yeast infections, periods- while a man & his happy penis just go on their marry ways. Male issues dominate a majority of my friends' conversations as well. I am so sick of it. It doesn't seem to me that guys obsess as much about their relationships. They just do their own thing. What's the secret to thinking like a guy in this way? Do any other women feel as frustrated out there? I'm just so exhausted...

I agree!! I am 48 years old and it seems like it's the same with most of my friends. Believe me, I've been known to obsess too, but I think the key is having children. When you have children you hopefully get your priorities straight and realize what's most important in your life. Certainly not a man! Men also seem to have the capacity to "compartmentalize". They have other things that are just as important as we are: job, sports, beer and don't deal with anything in the same way that we do. Even though it seems like life as a woman isn't always fair and not as easy as a man's, I'm still glad to be a woman. Aren't you? We're just so much more evolved!!

It sounds more like your gal pals are the ones driving you batty. Take some time away from them and focus on something else for a bit. Maybe read a good book. Oh, and by the way guys do stress as much about relationships as women, just in different ways. They worry about getting a girl pregnant, stds, they can get other infections, plus worrying about if a girl likes them and how to keep her happy, especially when she is on her period. Just relax and quit stressing over it yourself!!

I just want to say; that I am so glad that I am married. I married at a young age/ and I have never had to go through all of this; but I know I would jump to conclusions about everything.
For example: I can't imagine myself going to another guys house after the first date w/ him. Do you realize that he is a total stranger? I would be going to a strangers house!!!! What is in his closet??? lol. See? I would be so strange@@@!!! So, I just hope I never get a divorced,,because I would want to know how many girls he slepted w/ and where did he pick them up!

It doesn't really frustrate me. I think that men are just more laid back by nature. Men don't try to analize every detail like us women try to. Women are more in touch with their emotions and that's why we try so hard to understand men. I guess if you are tired of thinking about men, the only way I can see is to try and distance yourself from your emotions. That's just my opinion but Imay be way off base here.
