If by nature men are basic creatures, and women are complex...how do they find a way to get along in peace?

I know it didn't occur to any of the men that replied....but why is it that when 'men ask' why do women get angry - we are irrational and you all could not POSSIBLY Have done anything wrong to have 'caused an irritation'?  Oh no...... it's PMS.. yeah that's it.\n\nOk when you want a real answer, ask a guy, because as I can see already - these are just stellar answers.\n\nIT TAKES 2 to have problems, and that's true even with PMS!!!  So get it straight gentlemen...... you have responsibility in this - EVERY SINGLE FIGHT!  \n\nWhen you wake up to that fact, perhaps you'll have better relationships.....until then..... keep on thinkin crap like PMS and we are irrational....it will solve everything - NOT!    GOOD LUCK MAN!

they're scared.\nOf what?\ncommitment, rejection, change, opening up and being emotional... depends on the guy\n\nalso, remember that generally women are the feelers and men are the thinkers.  maybe they think some things are implicit and don't need to be said.  Or they just don't know that you want to hear it.  Communicate with them!  They're humans too!

Natural instinct.  They are in perpetual "fix it" mode.  Read the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus".  It explains it very well in there.

They think the same about us...there is a major communication barrier.  Men and women communicate in totally different ways and therefore messages get misread.

You might want to pick up an odd book "The System" by a gentlemen named "Doc Love" at doclove.com.  His thoughts on relationships are almost diametrically opposite to main stream.\n\nA second resource, although a bit more specifically for casual relationships is a yahoo group (groups.yahoo.com ) called "beingaman".\n\nIn general, the concept is that women have an interest level, and men have an interest level.  Men tend to confuse their own interest level with the women's, and men tend to loose their personal principles and give up all their self confidence to maintain a relationship.  This has just the opposite effect on women, then what is intended.\n\nIf you cannot be happy with yourself, and being alone then you do not have sufficient self confidence to maintain a healthy relationship.

Yes, actually there are many of them out there.  Here is what I know from my own observation:  women, especially those who have come out of a bad marriage/relationship have this wall of ice around them...their body language gives off very clear signals of "approach me and die a slow and painful death"...not to mention the patented "all men are pigs" glare.  Now, there are some brave souls who will approach anyway only to find a sniper from a water tower shooting at them...for no reason!  Be aware of the signals you are throwing off...a nice guy wants to approach without barriers, and won't until the coast is clear.  Nice guys are the ones that never get a fair chance...for whatever the reason.

If I had a woman that did things like that, I know that it would take a great amount of pressure off from me in getting ready.  Now a man should be capable of getting his things together for trips, but if he has a woman that just automatically does this for him, I think she would need to be appreciated deeply by her man.  I think that a lot of men would not know how to react to a woman that shows that kind of attentiveness.  that is why they maybe tend toward a woman that acts bitchy?  That is what some men have seen and are most familiar with.

Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, suggests that men and women communicate in such different ways that they seem to be from different planets. Men use communication to maintain independence, while women talk to maintain intimacy. Whether conscious or unconscious, men often talk to establish status from others. Women use words to connect themselves emotionally, to express feelings, or build rapport. Men often share facts and figures, as if in a report. \n\nYou can read more on this through the link given below. Thanks for the question, i could have a peek too into how men and women differ in communication.

I don't know why some of us are like that, I know sometimes I get mad, but we all do. I don't believe that women are not supposed to deal with guys getting mad, they should be able to voice their opinion, but truthfully, sometimes that doesn't solve anything, it makes it worse, and really it depends on the situation. Men are supposed to be the head of the family, the bible says that, but it also says that the husband is suppose to love his wife like he loves himself, and not to be harsh with them. So, sometimes when we lose our cool, we are just blowing off steam, and that is a time where we want to be left alone, but not all men are like that. I know it helps me when a woman tries to help and be encouraging, but we all are different.

I get along well with men and have had a little difficulty over the years getting along with some women. I know part of it comes from having a mother, a female guardian  and girlfriends being mean to me when I was young. Today, I have plenty of female friends. \n\nI am a nice person and I know I am. I try and remember that if people are mean to me, it's about them, not me. If you're doing the best you can to be friendly and people are turning away from you, find some better people to hang out with. \n\nExamine your behavior to see if you are giving off any negative signals. Smile and be cheerful even if someone doesn't like you. Feel what you feel and let them feel whatever they want. You don't have any control over them anyway. Find a solution to your problems, leave the complaining for someone else. \n\nToday, I like myself so much that I find people are drawn to me. I hope you can find that place too.

I've always believed in the pervasive influence of our Primal Instincts - the family or group behaviors our genders developed as primitive, or "cave dwelling" sentient beings.  So there are certain primitive behavioral traits that we humans cannot escape completely, like young teens wanting to rebel and escape the influence of their parents so they can establish their own place in this world, or men's instinct for confrontation and battle as a way to protect his family and provide meat for their survival.  Women have more natural instincts for nurturing, rather than confrontation, since they've spent more time with their offspring, and for working out problems within the village through group discussion.  This means men have always had somewhat of a hidden fear or envy of women being closer to, and therefore more of an influence on, their children, because the men were usually away somewhere hunting or fighting, etc.  In other words, we are going to have to try the more conciliatory open-minded approach of a mother in leading this planet's single Super Power someday soon. For obviously our current throw-our-weight-around, lead-with-our-military-might, approach is not working too well anymore, as evidenced by the sorry record of our current idiotic Commander-in-Chief.  Mrs. Clinton may or may not be the best choice for such a role, but we'd better get used to seriously considering women on the Presidential ballot, and actually taking a chance with same, before we find the USA has no more friends left in this world!

wow, that's inflamatory, and i wouldn't be surprised if this went away in a hurry, but the Ancient Greeks held that it was for men to be rational, and women emotional.  Seperate areas of expertise.  Perhaps you should get some tips on sensitivity from one of the females of the species, in return for your fine figuring skills.

the problem is, to a man, the majority of women are going to seem crazy.  men and women think so differently and we will never be able to completely understand each other.  so to find a woman that seems, "normal," is damn near impossible.  don't look for that "perfect girl."  it will never happen.  it's all about finding a woman that you care enough about to put up with her BS.

cos there can be no peace with women on earth!

Yeah a lot of women are...maybe that's what women are about. i dunno. \n\nWell if you are religious you could try church...I dunno\nwww.match.com?\n\nI have found that women can be completely sane until they get into a relationship...somehow relationships make women crazy. There's no way to be sure the one you like is not crazy. You just have to risk it. \n\nGood Luck!

you know, and this is not meant to offend any of the nice sounding people that have answered this question already, but i agree with you.  i have very few women friends because they always seem so competetive and bitchy and catty, they just make my skin crawl.  i get along better with men.  i'm quite sure there are nice women out there, i just hardly ever meet any.
