h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

well after reading this thread i've come to the conclusion that the reason we can'nt understand men is because they don't understand themselves half the time

i mean come on guys how hard is it to be honest with someone because at the end of the day we all want honesty when it come's to relationships and the opposite sex so why feel the need to mess someone around?

Well said Ally! ..morning btw..

i don't claim to be anything but myself, someone who tries to be as nice and 'get onnable' as possible. why i am therefore terminally single is anyone's guess.

Same here!..if anything i get crap for being too nice!

That sounds awfully familiar.

Doesnt it just ..maybe i should just spend the next 26 years not being nice n see where that gets me!

You shouldn't have to change the way you are in order get the right person, you'll just lying to yourself.

Cant bloody win then can i !

I said this to someone else a few days ago, and it seems true here too.

Mr. Right will come along eventually, but you might have to wait a bit as he need not be Mr. Right Now

Think im becoming far too cynical for all that old guff ..

Hey don't worry about it, I sometimes stuggle to believe it myself, but Miss/Ms instead of Mr of course

Id never assume such thingse such things in this day n age

I dont think the someone for everyone thing is even mathmatically logical is it? ..Just alays sounded like a load of pretty nonsense to me..more so now!

I suppose it all depends on whether you're going off statistics, hope or common sense.

Hmmmmmmmm ...

How about experience? !

I think the women round here need to ask themselves if it's their behaviour that makes men so cautious. You lot like to think you're undemanding and easy to figure out but you're like a bunch of predators trying to beat us, not win our affections.

Examples -

You hunt in packs. You all disappear to the loo together on a night out to sort out who's hot, who's not, who each of you are going for and who's off the menu. And then any man who hasn't passed the group vote is kept away from the girl he likes by whatever means necessary. Even when the girl is actually interested.

You toy with your prey. I was telling my sister how the last three girls to give me their number haven't answered or returned my call, or even sent a text to say "thanks, but no thanks". But that's not half of it. She asked me how long I leave it before calling so I say "the next afternoon" - and she goes (with a big smile on her face) "Oh, you should leave it two days - that's the rule". At which point me and her boyfriend immediately turn round and say that's b***ocks - it's just polite to call the next day. If we wait two days we're the ones playing games rather than just showing an honest interest.

Now if all that weren't enough you're biologically programmed to want different things throughout the month. When you're ovulating you are driven to find a mate who is an active and strong physical specimen, to make sure you have offspring as strong as possible. Let us call this type A, the "Bastard". And then for the rest of the month you want the nurturing, successful, protective type - who will ensure the children's survival by bringing in money and loyally protecting the family unit. Let's call this type B, "Normal Man".

So you spend three weeks a month expecting us to deal with all the moods, love you, respect you, open jars for you, and then when you're feeling horny you go and run off with our sportier best mate. How can we win? We have to show a split personality to be an ideal mate, and you're complaining that we change from one minute to the next.

Face it guys, women are the last test in our evolutionary path. We have survived predators, environmental change, natural disaster and war for a hundred thousand years. And when we can finally understand and survive women we'll be the dominant lifeform in the universe.

Id just like to be treated half decently for once!

hello sandra and for saying that you thought what i posted was well said.

and now onto what zebedee had posted....well after reading that i'd just like to say what a load of RUBBISH trying to find someone is'nt a competion you know so why try to beat the males at it like you claim us women do.

as for hunting in packs well yes some women do but not all and if you think that it's only the women who do it then you aint been out much have ya as you guys can be just as bad if not worse at times.

i for one have never had the urge to hunt someone as i'm no animal!

you seem to forget that it's statisically impossible for some of you guys to remain faithful as your always looking for a better model that you can show off to your friends and make them jealous and if a women does'nt have a size 8 to 10 figure and is'nt stunningly gorgeous then she has no chance!.....plus if your m8's think she looks like a dog wether you like her or not you'll drop her like a hot potatoe just so you don't get stick from them.

don't try and make out that all women are the way you claim as there not and the same goes for the guys aswell as not all of them are bad.

respect,trust and honesty count alot more than wether your fit or not as without them things you have nothing!!!

Men think they are the "right" one because, for them, the "right" woman for that particular man ought to believe that. Oddly, women do the same thing. The key to understanding men is to understand yourself, know what is good for you and have the confidence to recognize insincerity when you are confronted with it. (If that is what is important to you, it seems to be). I know a lot of women who want the exact opposite, in fact. They seem to want danger, excitement and enjoy being mislead, misled and treated badly in general. You get what you project.

Sorry if that seems harsh. Merely an observation.

A Man.

Know I certainly dont enjoy being treated badly!

Interesting thread. Just bookmarking.
