themushroomBut not always in polite terms. Some will do the kind thing and let you down like it was a job interview, others can be mean pricks. And there are more mean pricks in the first twenty to thirty years of life.

Oh, you mean the 5% of men who actually care about what's wrong with a woman?

Let's face facts: With monthly hormonal imbalances, women can make an issue out of dryer lint and get very emotional about it. (But who isn't emotional about dryer lint build up that COULD POSSIBLY spark and light your entire house on fire?) When guys see girls flipping out over tiny little things just as much as the big stuff, their natural reaction is to tally everything up to PMS. Outside looking in, I might also. But when there really is something wrong, guys are busy chalking it up to PMS and their uncaring attitude is driving the girl away.

In the end for a guy, it's easier to leave a girl than to be supportive of all of her issues. And sometimes it's more than justified - there are girls out there that have a lot of issues.

I can't say that the opposite (the direct approach, saying whatever you think or feel about someone) is actually the best route to go either. When everything you think about someone is out on the table, it often keeps ripping people apart until there's no threads to bind them anymore.

Mediocrity at its most average.

What you call an "uncaring attitude", I like to call "blundering, bull-headed machismo". Now go fix me a sandwich or something.

I was gonna send a robot back in time, but I got high.

All I have is peanut butter and wheat bread.

attitudechickaYou have to realize that only about 5% of men actually understand women. Which is because they're gay, so are not spending all their brain cells trying to get into the women's pants.
attitudechickaSpeaking from experience? :) The converse is true too, it's easier for a woman to leave a man than handle his issues. People confuse their significants for trained mental health professionals.
attitudechickaIf you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesn't, hunt the ungrateful bastard down.

I don't think anyone ever lets EVERYTHING out onto the table, unless they've got some mental issue that keeps them from seeing the usual societal parameters. Or it's the height of the fight.  Honesty can be good in moderation and with a little sugar-coating. And if things get shredded, it was going to happen anyway cuz it was right there under the surface all along.

Peanut butter on wheat sounds okay to me.  I'll even try to understand you as you talk while you're making it.  :)

I loved my goldfish, but it turns out a sandbox isn't their natural environment.

I watched a monkey eat its own shit at the zoo last weekend.  Wait, should that have gone in "Announcements"?

I has a flavor!

If it was a female monkey, this thread was apropos.

If it's on YouTube (like "Gorilla Recycling", where the primate eats its own vomit) then it can go into both groups.

Where's my sammich?

 That's probably the sweetest thing I've heard in the last three or four hours.  I joke, but seriously, very thoughtful and sweet.
