Why are men so difficult to understand?

Answer 1

Not now, I'm watching the game. Bring me a beer and some chips.

Answer 2

Because you're a woman. Plain and simple. Men are very simple creatures, and us women are very complicated. For every action, we have a hundred different emotions, theories, solutions, and possible re-actions. For men, there is just one. A lot of the time, it will seem as if they don't care, or aren't concerned, or just don't want to deal with it. That's usually when we start to badger, nittle, and nag about it. We expect to see results immediately. And we often don't think things through. Men though, will hear of an issue, contemplate, work out the best solution in their heads, and then...after all is done....they will take care of it. When a man is hurting or upset by something, he will go "sit on his rock" and figure it out. We will run to the first person we can think of and talk for hours about it! And in the end, often, we wont have a solution. Men are very black and white. Not much grey area. Women are bigger than the rainbow! Silence in a man is not cause for alarm.

If you want an answer to a question from a man, ask him directly. Don't use silly analogies, don't draw the question on with 20 explanations or examples...just ask it straight out. One sentence.

Answer 3

Speaking as a woman, I'd have to say men are fairly easy to understand. Women however are difficult. All men need or want is love, sex, food, and be able to play their xbox's, ps2's, etc. Not that difficult to understand that.

Answer 4

What a great question. Many books have been written and many movies have been made contemplating the same question. But there is no real answer in understanding how men think or act. One thing is certain, they (men) do not like to express their emotions because society has taught them that it is weak, maybe not so much now, but in general. Crying is weak, and real men are stoic, because they never feel pain. I don't agree with that philosophy because when I was younger I saw my father, one of the toughest men I know cry at my grandmother's funeral. real men are sensitive. Not weepy like a willow but really care about a woman. In my opinion. I don't understand why they do the things that they do, but in the end they have regrets just like women. Regrets for not calling, or walking out, not showing any affection. I dunno, to be honest. I still ask my girlfriends to try and analyze my relationships and awkard encounters with men. Its so Sex and the City!!!! Good luck with everything..

Answer 5

Because we are all exactly the same: totally incomprehensible. We all like sports, drink beer, and hate on women.

Okay, that was sarcastic, sorry... In all seriousness, most men are normal everyday people. If you talk to and get to know men as people first, then try to get into relationships later, you'll have much less problems. While taking the "friend route" results in fewer love interests... it also results in less strife and trauma. I have had three friends of mine get divorced. All three boiled down to the fact that they never were really good friends. They were just lovers who thought that would carry them through. My wife and I were friends in college for about 1.5 years before we started dating. I have always done it this way. The downside is that I've had only 3 serious girlfriends in my life. But I'm happy. And we talk to each other and work out our problems. Our misunderstandings and miscommunications are not about what gender we are, but about the specific personality traits inherent in each of us. But we have a solid understanding and trust of the other person, so we work through anything. Good luck to you...

Answer 6

Don't you know men are from mars lol. It's simple men think they are simple. They don't always tell you what they are thinking (some times this is a good thing) But basic rule if he is feed and happy he will be easy to understand. NEVER try to read a man it's to frustrating.

Answer 7

Men are actually pretty easy to understand if you just remember that they usually say what the mean, and mean what they say. Women don't understand that type of thinking because we so over analyze everything anybody says. Our brains work overtime on a constant basis. If a woman asks her husband how her hair looks, he will say "fine". To women that probably mean not so good, but it's okay enough to go out. To a man, it means, it looks fine, now lets go!

Answer 8

I think it is that unfortunately, they are brought up a lot of times not being able to show their emotions, or they will be looked upon as wimps. Sometimes they don't show their feelings because they are stubborn or are afraid of getting hurt. The same can be said for women too, men say they can't understand us either. Will probably be like that until the end of the world...

Answer 9

The same reason women are difficult to understand.

Answer 10

I think men are more easily understood than women, and I AM a woman.
Men think more logically about things. They see a problem, they find the easiest, fastest way to solve it.
Women think emotionally about things. They see a problem, and wonder about their feelings, or the other person's feelings, motivations for doing things, etc. They believe there's some emotional reason behind everything a man does, and there isn't.
This is a generalization, though.

Answer 11

They are not so hard to understand. I think women tend to overanalyze things and think too much about a simple conversation. Men want to eat, have sex and sleep on a regular basis. Some men may have a hobby such as music, golf, etc...but even those tend to revolve around eating, having sex and sleeping. When in doubt go back to those 3 things....don't think too much...
