There is a great saying ...... GET OVER IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I think it's because communication is much more important to us than it is to men...if the communication lapses then we see it as something being wrong....Men on the other hand...probably don't worry about it at all...I just think we're wired different therefore have different priorities and things of importance.....So if you know something is that important to your partner...then I think making the extra effort to communicate often and for us to forgive the odd time when you don't would be a good compromise!!!!!!!!

WTF?

I didnt get it either .. hi Tina

Hmmmm...not sure how to answer this.

If in the context of a true relationship, I don't see why the man wouldn't/couldn't be there in all aspects. Physically, mentally, emotionally and maybe even spiritually.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, I don't think women are too emotional or overly sensitive, but rather the men generally are underly sensitive and lacking sensitivity. Just from what I've observed in my own dealings with people.

Everyone is different, and bring their own qualities to the table. Not all can be what you want them to be, or should be. Acceptance of each individual is paramount to true understanding and the development of any relationship. Whether it be a friendship or something more.

Riya I think a lot is started from chidlhood girls are raised to girls boys are raised to be men.

It's funny though I have had many male friends I have blubbered my heart out too and they have been son caring.

Partners really didn't give a crap

Hi Kid .. thats cool

I have seen women and men who literally drive people nuts by being overbearing but thats again few of them not all.

I feel the same way .. be it friends or more .. if someone's important .. i would make all the efforts to be there ..

True again the amount and the understanding of the communication depends on the 2 individuals.

Yes ....he he cyber emotional hahha....I see how the game is played here........

I havent seen many guys giving that much time to their partners either.

But as you mention male friends are soooo much more easier to get along and speak your heart to many times.

Maybe its our mental make-up and how we are broughtup.

well .. its ok .. i guess your view differs.

But a lot of people here are not playing games and its real to them not just cyber ..

Morning peoples......

Men function differently then females do. Maybe due to the inbred image of males having to be stronger, more independent, more adventurous. Who knows?

Man the hunter, the protector, the provider.

In my travels, there was only one country that really differred in this context, and that was Danmark in Scandinavia. Maybe it is a matter of culture, considering that the Danes descend from a society that since the dawn of time has been based on total equality and responsibilities between males and females. Viking society was based on the women having to be as much warriors and providers as the men.

Don't know, but personally I feel women are more emotional and easier for them to express themselves so.

Men are more inclined to grow up knowing that the only person you can really trust and depend on is yourslef. And you don't show your emotions easily.

But then this is just an opinion.

Communication is very different between men and women. How communication is accomplished depends on the situation. Guys have an ego that often needs to be stroked. If the issue is about the guy a lot of times he gets quiet or avoids it because he really doesn't understand what the issue is. So, he really can't fix the problem if he doesn't see the problem.

I have learned from past relationships, if there is a problem I need to understand what the problem is, face it and get to the root of it before I can fix it.ost of the time it is a simple misunderstanding that gets blown way out of proportion because of miscommunication.

Both parties need to be willing to sit down and talk rationally. Things get solved and the the relation can move on with no questions or will end because of disagreement.

Zee

I didnt know the Total equality aspect about Denmark.. interesting.

Yes .. that could be one of the factors .. that depends on the cultural make .. how one looks on relationships and women and men in general.

Most men do find it difficult to express themselves ..

Very well explained.

Women tend to worry on a situation.....

Men, if they know what the situation is, tend to sort it out immediately.

I respectfully disagree with both Kurzita and Zeelander.

It's a matter of conditioning and learned behavior more than anything else. It's not a male trait that is instinctive, anymore than it is a female trait to be more emotional.

It's an individual thing and it's neither right or wrong, just a matter of how you were raised in whatever society that may be.

Yeah I'd have to agree on that one.
