If we can't laugh at ourselves, what do we have? You are so right about communication. The English language, complex as it is, is still a poor communication tool. Body language is essential and totally lost in today's world of electronic communication. I suspect that texting is responsible for more miscommunication than anything else.WakeUpAmericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-31336730042151093482013-06-09T02:43:12.357-08:002013-06-09T02:43:12.357-08:00I don't get why the commenters make a "me...I don't get why the commenters make a "men vs women" issue out of this post. <br /><br />What I see is a couple with a clearly delusional one (that just happens to be the wife) and a sane one (that just happens to be the husband). How comenters readily jump on this to say that it's an accurate portrait of all females is disheartening. <br /><br />Really, Gryphen's readers ? "Female logic" ? That war or women is winning, then, if females humans are believed by y'all to be a different kind of beings from male humans.<br /><br />There is absolutely no more difference between a random male and a random female than what exists between two random males or between two random females. Understanding each other is hard - it's as stupid to make it a gender issue as making it a skin-color issue or a hetero/homo issue, or a left-handed/right-handed issue.An European Viewpointnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-71843699958390468062013-06-08T22:52:01.329-08:002013-06-08T22:52:01.329-08:00Wow.

It's about control, communication, and that damned Nail sticking out. The dance between men and women has to do with estrogen vs testosterone and the galaxy of misunderstanding in-between. If either gender has a monumental problem with understanding the other (and, really guys, we don't understand you any better than you understand us), then live a solitary life and be done with fighting. It isn't productive and we are all guilty of yelling and throwing up our hands in utter frustration. I am the more IT and mechanically inclined in my marriage and I can't understand why my husband can't see that what he tries to fix only makes more work for me when I have to repair it. His talent is persistence and in-your-face confrontation which gets me a lot of rebates that I wouldn't have had the chudspa to get for myself. We have made it through 29 years. Like making sausage, it wasn't pretty. We both have prior experience...I am his 4th wife and he is my 2nd husband. We have used the "D" word (divorce) more than a few times but decided that we were too old to change and no one else could put up with either of us at this stage. Don't worry about the Nails in either of your respective heads. Talk, argue and then have "make-up" sex.Gra*ma Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15678118339441391470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-58915405162678571652013-06-08T11:12:58.665-08:002013-06-08T11:12:58.665-08:00Quel embarrassment!

Anyone saying it's not is using what we've always derisively referred to as "female logic."<br /><br />To further alienate women, after many decades of living I refuse to deal with women whenever possible. Why? After a while, it's not about what is, it's all about hormones and emotion. IOW, female logic.<br /><br />Anecdotal? Yes. But that has been my experience, sorry to say. I want women to be totally and completely equal in all spheres. But, in my view, they generally keep fukking it up for themselves, especially in personal relationships.

I have friends and family that hate when I try to point out what might be the problem, but only after they have ranted on about something that they can't figure out. <br /><br />I know sometimes we just want a sounding board, but I do think that is a term overused. That's for when you need a good GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! But when I have someone going on and on to me about a problem, and I can see the possibility of an answer, I just tell them. <br /><br />And they usually hate me for it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-23070979738034773832013-06-08T06:35:18.461-08:002013-06-08T06:35:18.461-08:00Bullshit.
