Woman, are you really that difficult

This is a very tricky question, whyaskq. Maybe you are more comfortable with the same gender rather than the opposite one. You ought to learn how the women's mind is working. I don't have any problems dealing with both genders. While still working overseas, most of my office mates were males. Only 2 including me are females. I can easily relate with them without feeling that I was in a male dominated work. It depends on the women you are talking to. I don't like to think that I'm a very difficult person to deal with just because I'm a woman.

While I know where you are coming from ,I find it easier to communicate with women when you don't try to understand them and take them as your friends even before you become friends.Does it make any sense ? Well,women have always been shrouded with mystery and understanding them is like reading faces.Most of them are suttle with almost everything they do and drop hints along the way as if challenging you to solve a riddle.I prefer to not solve the riddle because sometimes mystery is interesting.Perhaps the only women who say exactly what's on their mind are mothers.The rest prefer us to find them rather than leading us.Atleast that's how it seems to me. It is far easier to talk to men ,but discovering what a woman wants is no less interesting.We shouldn't give up on them ,lol.

I think that depends on the woman. I think people, in general, are harder to communicate with-we all have our own agendas and everyone wants to be first, etc. Maybe we all need a breather. I think women may be "harder" to deal with at management levels because it is still "new" territory in some senses and they want to be taken seriously-so they are more serious.

Yes , it's hard for me atleast to communicate with my wife. She is like stubborn and does what she wants to do. She is little pasimist and think about only naegatives of all the things which I start. I'm never able to convience here for anything . I just try to ignore an keep my mind always calm and cool to avoid any discussions or arguments.

I think people in general are becoming more and more difficult to communicate with. Male or Female - we all need to start helping each other out more and caring more

I've always gotten along better with guys because of my weird sense of humor, my like of non-girly things (ie. video games), and my dislike of girly things (ie. shopping). I don't think it's women being difficult, I think it's just a preference. As for women being stubborn in the working world, maybe this is behavior associated with wanting to prove they are just as intelligent and capable as men. Despite our modern era, at many work places women are still being paid less than male co-workers with the same responsibilities, and there are plenty of "men are better than women" (as childish as that sounds) attitudes to go along with it. Women may feel they need to "act tough" to show that they deserve just as much respect and opportunities. Just speculation, though! :)

As I am sure you know I am a female , I can honestly say I get on with both sexes , I can chat freely to both and I feel equal to both , doesn't bother me one way or another , xx

I don't think woman are hard to communicate with. But then again, I'm a woman. Trust me, woman arn't as complicated as you think they are. I think men make everything harder on themselves. Personally I've found men don't listen, and that's probably why they can't communicate with woman. I'm not saying that YOU dont listen, but usually when I'm fighting with a man (usually my husband lol) it's because they don't listen.

As a woman, I found it easier to have men friends to talk to. I'm not sure how that happened, except I'm not a "threat" to anyone. I'm 57 now, overweight, married for the past 36 years, so I'm "safe"! LOL. One of my best hugging buddies is a man I've known for over 25 years. I had 2 close friends in church choirs I've sung in, and they were both men. I was very close to my church choir director who was also my voice teacher/vocal coach. He was happily married also. Another good confidant and part-time friend was my priest. I never noticed I had more men in my life, until someone said to me, "You seem to have a lot of men friends". Keep in mind that these friends were just at church, or over the phone...not the running around kind of friends. Anyway...I have worked in a warehouse with mostly all women, and brother...lots of backstabbing going on there. I have worked for the past 15 years in a cake shop with all women, and for the most part, we try to be careful with each others feelings, etc. I guess I have always been a little insecure and didn't want other women to judge me and gossip about me according to whether or not my house was as clean as theirs. Also, I was very close to my 2 sisters, and never seemed to need outside female friends.

I will agree that some woman are hard to understand. This one lady i talk to uses alot of hand signals in class, and sometimes i just dont understand her. I wouldnt go as far as to say that they are difficult because that would a generalisation, and lets just say that not all woman are difficult to understand. Although i cant understand her, i make many attempts to understand via words.

Well well, is this one sexist discussion that will soon be deleted? Anyway, for me, it is not really the gender. I have seen difficult people such as you described in both genders. Or maybe I am just not sexist enough to point my finger at one particular gender. :P

Woman is a kind of complicated animal. Maybe Man never knows what his lover think about. Woman is also a kind of easy animal. She will be very happy if her lover let her know that he loves her. No matter weathy or poor. Please treat your woman just like the most vauable thing in the world for you.

I think it is not really because of the gender. It is more about if the person wants to listen to you or communicate with you. Because even if it is a male or female, if he/she doesnt want to communicate with you. You can't do nothing about it. It is like talking to a wall. It also depends on accepting and respecting the others' opinion. Like some men don't accept female opinion because it will crushed their men's ego. And for a female, she doesn't want to accept a male's suggestion , because she doesn't want to be empower by the male gender. You know the "girl power" thing. So, I think it takes two to tango. It really depends if he/she wants to communicate with you. Not really about the gender. Have a nice day! And thank you for adding me to your friend's list! (^^,)

Actualy is easy to communicate with woman if you have good confidance and respect her.

Well Iam too a woman say a girl!! As my whole life till now Iam surrounded by women and more! So I've learned how to handle them very well. Its like men and women both have differnt view and diff. types of thinkings but their are some men and women who lie in between line!! means general thinkers!! So Its is a fact that women ARE difficult to handle!! they even I had many strict female teachers in comparison to male teachers. They are a little bit calcultive and reaonable.!! So convincing a women is a real issue mostly.! I agree with you. have a nice day.

woman are not really difficult to communicate with, maybe they are more sensitive and showy on their feelings.. but woman have sense to talk with.. and also with the man..maybe its the same.. i like also to communicate with the man especially on the serious matter because only rare take serious or share their thought on problems on reality experience(serious).. with the girl also i loved.. in fact mostly my friends are girl so obviously i love to communicate with them,also with the man.. they are all the same.

i never had any problem to communicate with either of the genders. in office i so far worked under lady bosses and was easy going. the other women are also quiet out going and communicate without any hesitation except for a few who are with that touch me not attitude so i just smile away from them. in the family it has been easy to communicate and get addressed to what i say with mom, mil but not really with sis-in-laws who are always having a dual mind as such i just limit myself with them. on the whole i think women are more accomodatingfor several reasons, women have to do housework have to have a career,have to raise her kids... I mean she better be accomodating to juggle all these jobs at one time.

Hello whyaskq! I am a woman and I dont know if I'm that annoying to men around me. In my case I know that there will be differences between men and women and have not drawn the line between what I like and dont like about them. Women are by nature like that, its always the way the act in general and I hope you men could be able to somehow to get used to that kind of attitude in women.COz if not, I know you will be stressed the whole time with your association with them. Of course there are wasy to capture women's heart and they bcome less of what they are. Hope you adjust and cope well. Take Care!
