Understanding women. Greater men have tried and failed, so I shall not even attempt it. I have learned tricks to dealing with them however, I will not reveal them here though (don't want to give away my secrets especially since I know my GirlFriend reads this blog). There is one piece of advice I can offer to men however; shut up!
It is said that women get the last word in every argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. This is very true, so the golden rule for a man is even if you are right, accept that you will be proven wrong, shut up and accept that you have lost the argument.
I digress though, this blog was supposed to be in response to the concerns of a friend of mine. A male friend to clarify. He indicated that is class was filled with women who seemed to react to each other with such negativity and slyness that it confused him. He posed this question: why can't women get along with other women? I had no response but it did seem to me that guys had it easier in making guy friends than women did making female friends. I have theories obviously, but like I stated I have a girlfriend and other female friends who read this blog and I prefer to live to see tomorrow so i shall not state them here. Feel free to use the "Anonymous Comment" feature to post your ideas, believe me I am interested in hearing them.
lol it seems none of your male friends are 'brave' enough to comment
ReplyDeletechoopse, i started to comment but made a mistake and clicked back and then my comment was gone. Right now i'm too pissed to go rewriting it.
ReplyDeleteMy theory about women not liking each other is that they compete for the admiration of men and their peers. The latter because not initiating hostility towards a competing female may confer some benefit in a social context. E.g. if girl A is friendly to girl B, it may be girl A is trying to gain some of the admiration received by girl B due to associating with girl B.
ReplyDeleteAlso, girl B may choose NOT to show any animosity to girl A because unbeknown to girl A, girl B may seek her association in order to show that she's "better" than girl A.
I know my theory has a major hole, but i'm too fed up of typing to think about it now.
