@Kelly….yes, men use sex as a way of getting close. It’s true. And yes, women like talking as a way of forming an emotional connection. But like you said, it’s hard to stereotype. There are lots of women who like to get down and a few men that like to talk. Well, maybe just a few.

You’re right about the duality of men and how we are, for the most part, misunderstood. This is going to sound chauvinistic, maybe, but I think that a lot of men use sex as a way of getting close, even getting to know(in our own way) a woman. Is she strong, sensitive or both. But that’s not our only way. Listening to the other one is a big part of it, too.

Women are more into talking (which is cool, too) to get to know a guy- to see if he’s funny, smart, interesting and interested and so forth.

But you can’t stereotype an entire gender either way. That would be unfair.

I’d throw the bone AT you sir!! No, seriously that was an awesome post! I really liked the part where you confessed one of the only things men use their other appendages for was SCRATCHING themselves!!!

I have a friend contending with an “unable to commit” guy. It’s a miserable sort of existence. Waiting on someone else to change is a time waster.

“5. We ARE able to commit. If your man says he needs more time it’s because he’s unsure of you. If might be best to just let him sniff around some more without you. You’ll be better off.”

Exactly!
And, well said!!

That’s great advice Cher! Men need to do the same for their women.

Well, we can’t argue with that.

I think that the “don’t give up on us, but it’s unlikely we’ll ever change” pretty much sums it all up. Women are attracted to men because they are so different from us, yet at times we’re compelled to complain about why you all are “a different breed.”
