Ok girls, here is the answer to all of your questions. My years of experience with men, sure I may look 18 but I am slightly older than that! Lets just say, I have gotten around and leave it at that! My theory and has been supported by many men, the best way to describe it, think of a cartoon. A woman asking her man what he is thinking. He says "nothing" then cut to his thought cloud, it is blank. When men say they are thinking of nothing, that is exactly what he is thinking. Women on the other hand are constantly thinking. We think about who will pick up the kids, what we need from the grocery store, will that check come in the mail today, can we hide the body before the police.... oops sorry. Anyway, you get the picture. Men think about what needs to be thought about then lets it go. Women over think everything then think about over thinking it. When you ask him how he feels about the loss of the cat and he says he feels hungry, it is because he is hungry. Men are VERY simple to figure out. Stop overthinking or over complicating them. No point. He will let you know whats what. then leave it alone. He doesnt care if the neighbor lady has the same red dress you do. any comments? for or against?

It's true, we're not really that complicated. If you don't "get" men, then you're trying too hard.

my years of experience with male rabbits lead me to feel you are mostly right. also it has been proved they can only do or for want of a better word 'think' one thing at a time. never try to talk to a man while you are walking - they simply cannot do both at once.

lmao you are all right! I like to mess with my man when he is carry something like a box, I will tell him to go to the left. He is directionally challenged and has to set the box down to figure out which way is left, because he has to look at his hands for the L! Or when his hands are full I will ask him what time it is, he will set the stuff down to look and realize he has never EVER worn a watch! great fun!

men aren't thinking about nothing if they say that.they're thinking about everything but what you asked them. or in the case of my bro,he probably didn't hear what you asked him.he tends to zone.

Hi, laglen. I have learned how a man can be, by my own husband. He has taught me so many things. I never knew much until I was around him more than anything. I have learned to not bug him. Let him be. And move on.. I just wait for him to tell me things, then I will go from there. He does not like repeating himself to me and he does not answer any questions that he has already given me the answer for. I just learn how to wait and be patient with him. If I do this it makes my marriage much more easier.

Understanding a man is very simple than a women. If you really get attached mentally with a man you will know him better.

Hmmm you say "sure I may look 18 but I am slightly older than that!" my first question is how can you say "slightly older" when your profile says you are 20 years older (38)?? IMO that can in no way be considered slightly older. You have no photos on your profile. Let me see a photo if that statement is true before I take any of your advice seriously!! A women who has been around and supported by many men usually does not look 20 years younger but kind of used! LOL!

Yep, I agree for the most part. Sometimes my husband is thinking about absolutely nothing at all and, it seems to me, that when he is thinking about something it's one thing at a time. In fact, when he's working on a motorcycle and I need to talk to him about something else, I have to wait for about a minute while he switches his brain over. Meanwhile, he can come into the office and talk to me about something while I'm doing something else and sometimes on the phone as well. We're just better at multitasking.

Ah, I think most of us women know this fact. Men are simple in thinking, and to figure out as you mentioned. Still, it is not easy to catch a man's soul. So tell me Laglen, do you know how to catch a man's soul so he will be by our side forever?

Haha.. you are very right indeed I guess you are slightly older than 18 just as you claim. It is true that men are just like what you said, simple enough to understand indeed. But what I don't get is how mysteriously men and women get together. Because the truth is, men and women simply differs in their thinking system. In fact they differ so much it is simply like a photo and a negative of it. But somehow the two manages to blend together. Simply magnificent!

You know, it's funny how men always say women are soooo hard to understand. Us women understand each other perfectly. But you know what? We find men extremely difficult to understand as well, we're just less likely to admit it. It's the fundamental differences between men and women that cause so much confusion.
