Why is it when we have trouble with "men"...we choose to go to other women with our tales of woe and ask for advice...
And do you think it makes sense to go to the source??...that being the "men" themselves (maybe not the man you're with, but a member of the male gender...)
Actually I do ask both so that I can get both perspectives on it. This way I can see if maybe I'm doing something wrong or interpreting something wrong or vice versa. Sometimes having the perspective of both helps me to look at the situation from an outside standpoint rather than inside.

Isn't this a logical way to go with your confusion and thirst for answers and explanations ....to a friend, representative of the "male gender" Who will know better than HIM ... a man
And as for a problems with girlfriends it is opposite ...

I totally think living with a man in which you have no romantic tendencies towards helps learn about men, and how they view the world...bottom line they just dont worry as much as we do...(mostly all them anyway)!
Yes, there advise is based on their own experiences. I do not have male friends, so it is impossible to ask them for advise.Only ex husbands. Maybe you can find me some? Males who want to be my friend.
Personally, I don't go to a woman. Most of my friends are men, my best friend is a man. They give logical advice. No emotions - no hormones - just their straight opinion.
I will agree Assets...for the most part when you ask a man a question pertaining to ANOTHER MAN...(lol) they do give you an answer in a logical, no "drama" way!!
In the nursing home where I work there are only girls on my shift, we have worked together for years. Maybe, I will think of a question some day ,for the men here. Right now I have to go to work. Night all. Thanks wikked.
I agree assets...we can be pretty dramatic!!!!!!!!
I have good g/f's that I confide in and they have pretty good heads on their shoulders so I value their opinions...But yes I think the best place to go also is to another man for a male opinion!!!!!!
I don't go to either for advice. I'm very confident with my own decision-making capabilities, especially when it comes to men or relationships. I have a harder time deciding what outfit I want to wear on a particular day.
But sometimes you miss out on having your best friend jump on the band wagon with you as you rant and rave and call him names...before you actually reach the point of rationally discussing it...well kind of rational anyways...
