For years, males have tried to understand females and figure out what they covet in life. Unfortunately, if men were to gather up all the useful knowledge and publish it as a piece of literature, it would be the shortest book ever written.
Men and women often have troubling relationships. There are countless reasons why 1 out of 2 marriages result in divorce.
One of the main reasons women create trouble in relationships is because they cannot relate to men. Women are overly sensitive in certain aspects that irritate men because they are not as sensitive.
If a typical guy buys his girlfriend a puppy for her anniversary present he is trying to derail the constant scrutiny and unnecessary attention he receives from his girlfriend. If he is lucky, the girlfriend will be distracted by the dog's appealing characteristics and will leave him alone when he wants to watch the game on TV.
There is so much pleasure in sitting on the couch watching sports over the weekend while your girlfriend is taking pictures of the puppy instead of being dragged through the mall holding bag upon bag of shoes you bought her that she will never wear.
What is the deal with women's shoes? Yes, it is an age-old question, but seriously, when a girl owns over 50 various pairs of shoes in great condition and then asks for another pair for Christmas why wouldn't an innocent boyfriend's mouth drop?
Women characterize men as insensitive, crude, and dense. Even though women know these things, they still act surprised and disappointed when they find out every new guy they meet is this way.
There is an old saying that goes "men never remember but, women never forget."
Is it such a problem to forget certain things? Say for instance a problem that came up between two lovers. It would be a good thing to forget the problem and move on correct?
The inability of women to forget is a problem. A girl will remember the time her boyfriend spilled his drink on her favorite dress while a guy will not remember.
