(Why) Are Women So Cryptic?

<< < (4/4)

Kiwi:
Women are not cryptic, I understand myself perfectly  :::D

Joe Schmo:
Women are infallible.

What else needs to be said, Jakov?

Men & women:

75 years ago;
My grandmother (just 18/19) met my grandfather. She saw that he was reasonably presentable, had a decent education, was a gentleman, had a good job, a good future and stayed sober most of the time. She didn't muck around and waste time. She grabbed him with both arms, they got married, stayed married and had nearly eight decades together. She had no stupid Oprah show, womens' magazine expectations a a 'perfect' composite that didn't (and still doesn't) exist.

Today;
Single women well into their 30s are sitting around in bars crying about not being able to find anybody. The fact is that there are more elligable men around than there has ever been. Men are better educated, more worldly and with higher average incomes than ever. Yet the women are not satisfied. Listen in on the bacheolerettes' conversations and you'll hear this..." John's a nice guy with a good job and he's so kind but he's boring......Steve on the other hand is a phycopath with no money or prospects but he turns me on"

Or this...." Thought I'd found a good man last week. He has a good job and a college degree but he likes football!....No thanks!"

It would seem as though there is a rediculous expectation of a composite, perfect man that is simply not in existance. He must look like Brad Pitt (women deny looks are important but that's rubbish), have a six figure job, be carreer focused but not too busy to attend PTA meetings, be dangerous and sexy yet show sensitivity at the exact moment to suit her moods yet offer stability and be kind & sincere. At the same time he must not be interested in sports, be even slightly untidy or ever forget an anniversary/birthday.

Guess what, girls. All the perfect guys are having a great time as bachelors or they're marrying 110 lb, blonde, super-model trophy wives. You'll have to settle for reality. See above about my grandmother and do what she did.
