Men. (that would be most of you then). Enlighten me.

[TMA_1]

let me sum it up into three words. It isnt hard to figure out, it isnt deep. Men are simple.lol

that simplicity can turn to immaturity or even grow to being a jerk. Sociology is great for understanding men. Women usually are unorganized in their feelings and emotions, which confuses men because they constantly have to put things into a pyramidal structure. to put it short, like I said. Men are simple. They often can do a lot of harm because of it.

[Inoculator9]

In many instances I'd agree with the statement that men are simple ;D

[Apollyon]

Not simple, but more logical. Women are better with emotions though. I think it's a generalisation though to call men simple as of course there are varying degrees in all things. Some men are more vulnerable (is that the right word?) than most women are. I personally would never want to purposely make someone cry as it is a pointless excercise. If someone wants to make another cry to feel more powerful then they simply have a bad case of low self esteem themselves and need to prove that they can (in their eyes) be stronger than others. This makes them far more pathetic than the person who is crying.

just.. another crappy person made me cry and i felt better for typing it out a bit...

Its worth to cry for some people. Those who really deserve it.

But if you say that's just a crappy dude, then you'll be fine in no time. No worries about crappy persons.

[Inoculator9]

I don't think vulnerable was the word you were looking for there ;) I wouldn't say men are logical though (in most instances).

[Apollyon]

actually its a largely accepted medical theory that one of the main differences between male and female brains is that in male brains the logic centre is larger and the same for the emotional capacity of a female brain. Whether you agree with that, however, is up to you.

[Inoculator9]

Well theory is the key word. You can't be certain. Males might act more logically under some circumstances, but that really depends on how you view and interpret logic. And, since I believe this is the main topic, in romantic situations men could go two ways. They could be controlling or treat the relationship as a partnership between equals. You could try to dominate the female, which could be called the logical male instinct, or you could treat the relationship as a paring of equals, which more logically benefits the two. Logic can go a lot of ways.

[Acriku]

Inoc, theory isn't below "law" or "fact." It isn't on a heirarchy, it stands with the other terms with an abundance of evidence and acceptance, so it isn't the key word.

[Inoculator9]

I was just pointing out that theory as a word doesn't convey the intent he seems to have wanted. I did kind of take advantage of that though.

[Sneakgab]

To tell the truth, observing an argument over the word ''theory'' and how it has been used is at the very least better than looking at anti-male, emotionally based, sexist remarks for the rest of the post

The variance in usage of the cerebral centres from individual to individual will vary considerably, so the size of the centres can only be used as a guide when dealing with generalisations.

[TMA_1]

yup, nema is right, but I would still have to say that men have a tendancy to be judged too fast. They arent insensitive in general, just think differently than girls. Guys cry just as much about girls. You would be suprised how "cold" girls can be to guys. If anything, girls have the upper hand on playing with guys emotions.

[Dunenewt]

Which can be annoying >:(

[VigilVirus]

There are several reasons why men would want to make women cry:

1. To make themselves feel good about themselves, as if to raise a level above.

2. To receive pleasure from your humiliation

3. To try to suppress their own weakness

I personally never try to make people cry. I think it is unnecessary.

[Inoculator9]

I'm to pompous and sure of myself to need that kind of satisfaction ;)

[Acriku]

Anyone consider that the guy didn't mean to make her cry?

[Vanguard3000]

I don't think she'd make this post if that were the case. But my advice stands either way.

[Acriku]

Well, she only said some guy did something to make her cry, we didn't get the other guy's side - so I remain skeptical. But it is a shame that she cried.

[thomas]

dont cry that sucks so if the guys is an asshole its still ok.

[Terror]

well i dunno, you probably hook up with the wrong guys, cuz as far as i know, most men don't want to make girls cry, but it happens sometimes

[The_Sadukar]

Some people are just plain dumb. Don't worry, they'll grow up... hopefully... But anyway, you've just had a streak of bad luck from what I can see.

no they won't just look at Bush

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend anyone.

I know not all guys make girls cry.. and not all girls will cry anyway...

I was just feeling like crap that day because, as so many people have pointed out, I have had a run of bad luck with guys and it does test my faith sometimes. I usually feel better when I get up in the morning but unfortunately for you lot I was online at the time and you got the emotional, over sensitive girly thing I was being at the time... so.. um.. yeah. Sorry. I'm sure you arent all like that.

Which is kinda another reason for my putting it here.. so you could restore my faith!!

[Inoculator9]

I don't think he should have taken anything so seriously. Were all just bored and we'll go into any topic ;D I'm sure no one particulary minds your post.

[emprworm]

:'(

Whyyyyyyyyy is it cool to always make me cry?

I thought it was an individual thing.. but no.. it seems to be every man I ever meet.

So.. enlighten me... there must be some decent men out there somewhere.....

because you are meeting the wrong type of men.

many men see a woman as an object of conquest. when the woman is 'conquered' he gets bored with her. he has physical interests in her, but no emotional interests. You should never allow yourself to have feelings for a man who does not show emotional interest in you. How can you tell emotional interests?

It is not just flattering speech, roses, or presents. men who want to 'conquer' a woman will use that too. A man who is emotionally interested in you will sacrifice for you...put your needs above his. When a man puts your needs above his own, this means he honestly cares about you and is not in it for selfish reasons. Instead of feeling like you are always pursuing his interests, you will feel like he is genuinely pursuing your interests (not just pursuing you).

Women are smart. They know if they feel like a man is genuinely interested in them. Some times a woman will go through the following "bad" logic:

"Well he has all these flaws.....i don't see the interest in me I was hoping....but I'll change him over time......yes, eventually he will come around because I will be able to change them as a mother raising a child"

This coming from Dr Laura another woman...that this is the biggest mistake a woman can make. And as a man, I can tell you that it most definately positively will not work. Never think you can change a guy. If you see flaws in him now....you should fully expect those flaws to be there later. All just my opinion, of course :)
