In other words, my icon will be redone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219641 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 22:04:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 219641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: ooooooooomG you're a man. I need to start reading screennames more and looking at icons less!</p> <p>I don't get men. I get my husband because he is very "open/reflective" but other men...not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219420 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 20:34:34 +0000 SleepyMonkey 219420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: totally agree! for the men i know, i find it generally easy to understand their motivations and how they will react to things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219073 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:44:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 219073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think men are only superficially simple . . . it takes really getting to know one to realize what a complex multi-layered onion (not meant to be derogatory!) they truly are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219053 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:36:11 +0000 mrbee 219053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I think it's like a Rubix cube. Some people find them simple, and other people are just confused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219040 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:33:17 +0000 chopsuey 219040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: do you disagree? HAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219037 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:32:21 +0000 mrbee 219037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Haha simple creatures huh! Do tell... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219030 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:30:18 +0000 chopsuey 219030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so. Men are simple creatures.<br /> There are the exceptions, but overall I have them figured out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219019 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:25:16 +0000 brownsquirrel 219019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all... I'm finally beginning to sort out my husband's thought processes after 4 years. But then he surprises me.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219018 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:23:39 +0000 Running Elley 219018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I agree regarding the thought process. I think that's what's hardest to grasp!</p> <p>I don't understand men either. I can appreciate the differences but I don't get them at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219011 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:20:50 +0000 Rubies 219011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand men. Never have. I really and truly don't get/understand their thought processes (in general, of course). I wish I did, though, it would make life a lot more fun, no? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-understand-the-opposite-gender#post-219009 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:19:02 +0000 mrbee 219009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think when I was younger, I was better at understanding women. Or maybe the genders are less different when you're younger.</p> <p>Then once I got married, I found it harder to understand women. Big weddings, nesting, the biological clock... it's something I can intellectually understand, but it's not something I truly get.</p> <p>So I would say, I don't really understand women as well as I thought. Maybe 50%? That's a failing grade though.</p> <p>Do you understand the opposite gender? How has that changed (or not) over time?</p> <p>ETA: Also, are your siblings of the opposite gender or the same? </p>
