When I said Derek was right about pathetic guys I didn't mean all nice guys are pathetic and I certainly didn't mean that I like guys that treat girls like crap. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

As gurl_with_boom said I also like getting roses and not having to explain where I am going. I guess what it boils down to is I like being in a relationship where we are equal and both are okay with expressing our opinions and having them be different and thats still okay. [img]smile.gif[/img]

MRS.AUDIO

I didn't think you were saying that. I just like the fact that you are strong enough to have your own opinion in a relationship! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

BTW its not putting your foot down its called self esteem IMO!

I hear ya Johnny!!! The other day me and the girlfriend got in an argument over the stupidest thing, anyways, in the middle of it all I started laughing and I tried to explain to her that this was all pointless and we shouldn't be fighting over it. Well, she took that even worse. For me, women never see or appreciate what you do for them, but they see what you don't do. Makes me mad cause I try so hard to make them happy. This isn't all women ofcourse [img]smile.gif[/img]

I know that's not what your saying. I was just giving my opion. To me fighting about petty stuff is crap, I don't like it and I never will. Again just my opinion. I also agree with Mrs. Audio when she says a relationship should be equal. I certainly know that it can go both ways. Some women treat guys like crap too, and if she is stressing you out then you should put your foot down. You should always stand up for yourself. I guess my problem is that I'm past all that you can't go here you can't go there crap, and if it started for no reason I would be thinking my man is treating me like s***. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I probably just confused you more [img]tongue.gif[/img]

"Why are women emotional?" a question for the ages that still goes unanswered... of course the other side of the unanswerable question "why are men jerks?"

Have you ever found yourself breaking up with all your GF for the same reason? The problem could be you. You could have a character flaw (though I doubt since your on Canadian Car Audio Forum) or more likely your GF are all very similar to each other in certain ways. The characteristic that attracts you to them eventually makes the relationship fail. For instance, we all know women who want to 'reform' their BF... eventually the bad boy she was attracted to behaves poorly and the relationship ends with great entertainment for all onlookers.

My solution; marry a patient woman and when we are having 'emotional woman' issues simply use the volume **** till the problem fades away. I have to get her a big wooden spoon though…

bing

women are definately more emotional, but i dont really think that all women are the same..

they may be similar but every lady is her own lady.

i have never had big problems with girls...

"you dont wanna get down?.... SEE YA"

i broke up with this one girl i met in court 3 times.. our relationships lasted all of 3-4 weeks at a time, man did she ever want me... hahaha

but that was back in high school.. hahah

i have been with my girl froend now for 2.6 years... and marriage is a definate.

i dont think you should ever treat a women liek crap.

i try and make a conscious effort to never ever call her names, try and never be petty with her.

we have only argued maybe 4-5 times in our whole relationship.. real arguements i mean...

serisouly though... if she is emotional do this:

go to her and be honest, ask her what she wants you to do, and no matter how outrageous or out of character.. just F'ing do it.

then come back to her again and say what do you want me to do now...

and again, no matter how out of character for you, just friggin do it...

keep doing that until you are alone with her and massage this and massage that.

then:

LAY ROCK TO IT!!!!!!!!!

for the next couple days, you do what ever the hell you want.

iono, maybe i am just lucky to have found such a good match. but in all truth, if my gf were upset about something, i would do everything to fix it..

case in point.

she was being forced to work late with only one other girl at her work until like 3am or so.

there was crime locally and even a weak attempt to break in to her store when she was there....

she mentioned it to upper management and they said they couldnt afford to put more people on with her...

...

so i called the corporate office in Texas, spoke at length with a corporate rep and explained the situation and that i refused to be named so she wouldnt get in trouble.

now she has 5 people with her at night.

she didnt know i did anything until one day when she was upset about something else.

then i played massage this and massage that....

then:

LAID ROCK LLLLAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE.....

still coasting

Women are evil - plain and simple!

All joking aside.. don't get discouraged if stuff doesn't go well with girls/women.. it will either work out or you will move on and find someone that will suit you better..

Above all.. remember bro's before hoe's [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My female friends would have me say this:
After being with her for two years I would think you have some idea as to what tends to set her off or generally upset her. If you are constantly fighting over small things maybe it is time to move on.
I can believe that it seems small to you but for her it may only be a simple issue RELATED to a bigger one in her mind.

From the boys I will add this:
The fact is, it is important to her and we want princess to be happy so she will make us happy right?

Let yourselves cool down then go back at the problem with open minds from each party.
If she's not open minded yet, leave it till she is. You won't solve anything yelling at each other (although sometimes it is needed and feels good for both party's).

Hey man, women do that to you. It happens, hell it recently happened to me and its never easy to deal with. Give it time man, you will feel better about it in time. I think I have a found a great girl since my depressed post. [img]graemlins/jammin.gif[/img]

Yep Women are very diferent. And I say thank you for that! Beside the physical diference they are suposed to be emotional and nurturing, we are the hunters/ bread winners so to speak. Oposites due atract. The chalange is to atract a oposite yet complimentary 1. It's takes lots of work a life time worth but any thing that good is worth the work! And team work is the thing I feel men are suposed to lead the family ( noticed suposed to lead ) not push there opinions. You make decitions for the family and are suported by the wife. She has just as much say in the mater. Ever have 2 bosses at work with 2 diferent ideas....2 sides and a war! an compromise some times works.But only 1 can lead the shop! May not help you much may even **** some people off, but it has worked with my family for 16 years.
