Girls, Females, Women

[Vengeance]

Women are all about empathy and not feeling \"alone\" or \"crazy\" when they are down.  If they are telling you about how stressed they are, they don\'t want to hear how the test is no big deal or whatever.  They want to here that the test IS a BIG DEAL and it is NORMAL for them to feel stressed and how you would feel stressed too in her situation and how all the other students are also probably feeling stressed the same as her.  If she feels normal and not alone in her stress, she will chill.

Guys, on the other hand, just want someone to tell them it will all go away and it doesn\'t matter.  If a guy tells another guy how stressed he is about the same test, the other guy will tell him that the school sucks and the test is meaningless and they\'ll just get drunk afterwards and find some girls and it doesn\'t matter anyway.  Girls reacting to the stressed guy will empathize and talk about a time they were stressed about a test too.  Girls listening to the 2nd guy help the 1st guy will just think the 2nd guy is an insensitive jerk.  :-)

Guys, if you want girls to feel you \"understand\", go into a mode and act like I explain in the first paragraph.  It\'s magic.  You CANNOT explain what you are doing to the girl though--that undercuts the effect and she\'ll be pissed.

*Xandria reads Venge\'s post very carefully*

...

*Xandria thinks about the deeper philosophical meaning; that inside every man lies the emotional passion (first guy) to care about things, but is often overshadowed by primal instincts (second guy) to just shrug it off and go do something pleasureful (sex, drugs, rock \'n roll) rather than meaningful (talk it out with someone)*

...

*Xandria decides that 11:45 at night is not the best time to discover the question to the answer of life, the universe, and everything (no I\'m not satisfied with \"what do you get when you multiply six by nine?\")*

*Xandria bookmarks the post for later reference*

I use balance. I\'m not insensitive. I\'m very sensitive. But when things don\'t matter they just don\'t. If something matters, sure, I\'ll sympathize. If it doesn\'t, I won\'t. That\'s why I like mature people. Mature people haven\'t lost touch with their emotions, nor are they controlled by them. Balance.

Hey, it may be hard to believe, but Savion is a really sensitive guy... Evil, but sensitive.

Right, like you talk to people about how much doing good hurts you?

i fully agree with the 1st post of this thread. women make much better friends and are much better to talk to than guys (depending on the subject matter) though i find myself comforting my female friends much more than they comfort me

i think it all depends on the person....but generaly..yeh...females tend to be more easy to talk to.

Some of you guys just need a little more practice. If you can\'t find a woman in RL who finds you huggable, and you like XBox, then maybe this dakimakura is just what the prison doctor ordered.
