Men/Women

Nice little gender-understanding debate kicking up dust today in blogworld. Champagne Heathen posted about an inability to understand men. Robert countered with an inability to understand women. Age-old tale, but doesn't seem we've made any progress in spite of evolution or survival of the fittest or millenia of The Dating Game.

Personally, I think women are really easy to understand. Keep us happy, love us (or at the very least adore us sufficiently), give us a cuddle now and then, make us laugh, and that's all there is to it! Men on the other hand... well, EISH! Don't get how their minds work at all. And I'm unlikely to either.

So I've given up trying. I simply shrug and say "whatever" when yet another quirk, another illogical action, another shady secretive something-or-other shows up. I no longer try to second-guess what the heck goes on in their heads, nor what makes them tick.

Men are just men. Some are damn good, others are horrifically bad. Take them or leave them - and leave them be when you don't understand what they're on about. Instead of spending all that effort trying to figure them out, just sit back and let them try figure you out for a change. Much less work! :-)

Oh - and one final thought. Not understanding each other perfectly makes life pretty interesting. Imagine if we "got" each other all the time? How absolutely boring!
