It's a general given that men don't understand women.
I'm older now than I was before and I really (!) am trying but I can't for the life of me figure them (one in particular) out. I try to listen (really listen) but I sometimes think I've wandered into the Tower of Babel. You know, where yes means no and maybe means yes or no or really just maybe.
Christ, I'm so confused.
Anyone else in the same boat (tower)?

Just looking for kindred souls.
And you ain't it.
Nice trick with your Avatar, though 😉

On these days, it is best to treat all actions as abberations of her real personality.

Now, however, off the record, I know what you mean. We may adopt the typical emotional approach and sweat honey about the mistery that surrounds women and how sensible one must be to capture that halo, and blah blah blah
Or we can take the macho approach and speak trash about their eternal PMS stance, spit and then crawl (secretly) when we need some meat to satisfy the apetite.
However, both approaches are wrong. Males are easy to understand because we're eternal kids. Women, on the other hand, are simply strange species.
Thus, I propose not to speak good or bad about them... just use them the same way they use us 😉
Read Esther Villar's "The Manipulated Man"*
* The title in Spanish, El Varón Domado, makes much more sense than the English one. The Spanish title means more 'tamed' (like a lion) than 'manipulated'. A delicious read 😀

The smallest provocation (usually no minutely perceivable provocation whatsoever!) and she throws things (figuratively speaking) at me that I never would have thought of and I feel like I'm back to square one. Or, worse, out of the game completely.
A few minutes/hours later she apologizes.
That's good but the damage has been done. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief and try to sweep up the shards.
And wait for the next blow (as in storm).

Originally posted by IronPawnThat's textbook aggressive/apologetic behaviour indicative of the trough portion of a female's standard mood wave. The woman you describe simply has a higher agitation amplitude applied to her sinusoidal mood wave and must thus be treated with extra care - foot rubs, chocolates, pain-for-pleasure, etc.
Okay, but so extreme?

you may disagree with, but there are many that just put words on
things you've been feeling for a loooong time.
Taming, yeah, sounds better AND it's how the cookie crumbles, really.
