What is it that men don't understand about women?

Question

I don't understand what it is they don't understand.

Answer 1

My dear, men have very, very teeny brains. That's why they don't understand our vastly superior reasoning and intellect

Answer 2

As a sweeping generalisation, women think differently to men. What men can't understand is why women make the decisions they do, or why they set certain priorities, why they want and like certain things, as from a man's way of thinking such choices are illogical. Men can spend a long time trying to understand women, and even think they've got it, and then be surprised by a woman's choices/feelings. Likewise, many women don't understand that men's choices and priorities are different, or if they do they treat them as child-like, which is sometimes fair but often an oversimplification.

As an example, men don't understand why some women find it so hard deciding what to wear to a party. They simply don't see what the problem is. If (horror of horrors) the woman asks their opinion, they will give it, and then they will fail to understand why this wasn't what the woman wanted.

Answer 3

Men can't understand why women can say one thing and mean the opposite most of the time. They also can't understand why women like to ask questions where there is no good answer. Men can't understand why women insult each other and b*tch behind each other's backs while being nice face-to-face.

To be honest men use very basic logic in most circunstances and women have their own individual internal logic which changes from moment to moment and thus men can't understand this complex and seemingly self-contradictory world view.

Answer 4

Women overestimate themselves as being smarter and using complex techniques to reach really simple conclusions. Men are direct and do no waste their time trying to make something simple into something bizarre, complex, and without rational logic. Like when women want to find out if a man likes them by telling the guy that they are making out with someone else. Although it is true that his reaction of anger, jealousy, or both is because he likes the girl, she is creating unnecessary tension for later on, and it would be a lot easier to reach the same end if a girl simply told the guy she likes that she does.

Honestly, women pretty much know how men think, so it is their fault that communication is chopped.

Answer 5

Whats to understand? Since the stone age (thats prehistoric not the 60's) man has always been the dominant force of the sexes. Women were provided to man by God to cook, clean, wash, reproduce and tend the children.Now in the past 30 or 40 years T.V. has put the notion in their heads that their "contributers" to society in a business sense.That is until they get their period and get all mental. Just stay at home do your job and maybe you'll get a new vibrator and a pair of house shoes for x-mas

Answer 6

Ok, this is dawn of the human race stuff.Men went out and hunted.
Basic skills, hey you go over their, throw stick at big thing. Yay it dead, group hug, lets get pissed....
Women stayed in the caves, and talked/developed speach relationships raised the childeren, werent as affraid of death on a daily basis.

When a man says go away, what he means is go away
when a woman says the same thing, she might mean, what do you think of my shoes, was yesterdays eppisode of big brother good, come here, i want childeren..

Woman have had thousands more years to develop the sixth sense. otherwise known, as being able to distinguish minute changes in facial expression, and be bothered to remember what they mean.

We completely get periods, but we still cant understand, how you can say things like, hay, i know im a ***** when im on my period, just tell me nicely it will be ok.. 2 weeks later, guy tells her nicely , girl breaks his leg, and hits him with a table, then crys then laughs then crys then does a back flip...

Its stuff like that that makes guys a tad scarred of women, and their emotional instability..

We dont get the shopping thing, or the shoe thing, or the hygene thing, or the clenliness thing.

But we cant half throw a ball a good way, and park.

Answer 7

I spoke with an old male friend recently and this topic came up. He said he doesn't understand:
1. Body language.
2. The emotional range of the average female.
3. Why all females are different.
4. How we can say one thing and mean another.
5. Why we test males about our looks and expect originality on dates.

Answer 8

its not really about men not understanding women, humans have emotions are other humans cannot understand how one is feeling unless there is communication.. However, communication can be interpreted differently to each involved individual depending on a number of factors which are influenced by society.

Answer 9

What is it women don't understand about men ? We are , both sexes , different . That is the wonderful aspect of life
that nobody understands !! xx

Answer 10

They don't understand how we come up with some of the conclusions. For them it's as if they appear out of thin air. We tend towards a completely wrong interpretation of their thoughts, body language, acts, words, accents.. and it drives them crazy, cause it's like whatever they do, we will come up with something else that's bothering us. Most of the guys are nice, innocent and simple, and us girls, we are too complicated.

I would say most of women are spoiled brats and really mean for playing with men like that. We must be witches deep down.... :)

Answer 11

Are you kidding? So many men understand you don't have a penis, that's it! Men Are From Mars, What Species Are You? Be grateful if they understand you eat, drink and breathe.
