Why are women so elusive?

Question

I have tried to come up with a working definition of what a female is but I have failed every time. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Women are not meant to be understood. Simply adored.

-Oscar Wilde

Answer 2

Men and women are equally complicated. It offends men a lot when women say they are not complicated, indicating that men are, well.. simple. That isn't the case at all. As for elusive, well i must be the odd woman out on that , because if something is bothering me, i say it, if i want something, i get it myself, and i do not beat around the bush. That is just called being blunt and/or abrasive. Humans in general share characteristics - not all men are agressive, not all women are meek. I think people are people where ever you go.. some are to the point, and some are a bit more backward...some are smart, some are dumb.. Some are clever , some .. not so much lol

Answer 3

Female or woman? And for which purpose do you need it?

Anyway, don't try anymore. Human beings should not be subject to definitions. They are open and free beings, turned to the future and development and every definition given through the history failed, because it highlighted only one dimension of human, but neglected many other ones. Finally, try to define man (male) and you will have the same trouble.

Answer 4

Any attempt to define using logic , has to have its ingredient based on material logic.. ! Here the subject matter is about the nature of a female... Women are basically more intuitional that men and thus only an intuitional person can understand them better, and yet giving out a definition is not easy, since intuition itself is distinct from logic.

Answer 5

In the biological, chromosomal sense, or as some type of 'essence' underlying feminity? The first is easiest enough defined, and the latter is likely not very useful in any pragmatic sense. Females of the human species should, in principle, have a number of behavioural characteristics that differentiate them from their male counterparts. Any contemporary textbook informed of the litany of gender difference findings from evolutionary psychology provides empirical evidence of this fact; one could simply list these in an effort to evoke a suitable definition. Men overinterpret females smiles to signal sexual intent; women are choosier in selecting a mate, and so on. But if you've trouble identifying a woman at first sight, without conscious reflection, you've more serious problems than defining the term.

Answer 6

And why in the world would you want to lump every women into one category? Would you like it if men were all lying players who beat women? Because not every man is one. We are all different, we are wives, mothers, jocks, princesses, b!tches, lovers, saints, vixens....the list goes on. There is a women out there in every category, and trying to lump females together is a futile process.So in short, we are everything and we are perfect.

Answer 7

cause they hold the power over those men who long for them. it goes both ways, i'm stuck in both those situations, the giving and receiving of elusive behavior, and if i got what has been eluding me, i'd explain whom i've been eluding kindly, but i won't until the one who's being elusive is confirmed. i really don't like this part of courting , but i don't want to be alone. until i actually settle into something i need to do something rather then do nothing or just cry on the sideline. been there and it's worse then the game itself. but this is just my opinion...

Answer 8

women become Mothers, which as my own Mom put it, "is the closest thing to G-d here on Earth", and we don't understand G-d either. Women simply are, what we make them into, and what they want to be at the same time. actually they're quite miraculous, bleeding once a month and not dying, or killing anyone. simply amazing creatures and what do you do with something amazing, try to "understand" or understand why you appreciate? like a painting each one is different, yet there colors remains the same, True to whomever they show them to.

Answer 9

They're elusive because they spend too much time in their own heads. They overanalyze everything. If you ask them out too soon, they wonder "is he desperate?" If you don't want to do something they want to do, they wonder "does this mean he doesn't care about me?" Men don't worry about any of those things. If we ask a girl out, it means we felt like asking her out at that moment. If we don't want to do something, it doesn't matter how much she wants to do it.

Answer 10

we are not all the same - just like you men don't like to be compared to each other - we don't either - if you see a woman that you're interested in, why don't you take the time to really get to know her and treat her with respect - you'll probably be surprised at her response - it may be a positive one - don't go into a relationship with a pre-conceived notion that all women are alike - the only similarities we have is that we like to be treated with respect and with honesty.

Answer 11

We are just complicated. No offense to men but men and women are different in the fact that women are emotionally and physically more complicated than men. (physically complicated because we can grow other humans in our bodies!)
