Can't Live With 'em...Can't Live Without 'em...

So I was thinking the other day about how different the minds of men and women are and it inspired me to use it as a topic of one of my blogs....so here goes.

Men and women are on two different levels when it comes to their everyday mind. I find it amazing how women are so "up and down" and "up and down" when it comes to their minds and everyday thinking. It truly is a "roller coaster" ride when dealing with the female species and sometimes I think that men will never succeed in completely understanding what a woman really wants. It usually ends in a lose-lose situation and you are either stuck out in the cold or on the couch.

One minute a woman will have emotions running wild and they will be completely happy in their day and the next second they will break down crying for no reason at all. Nothing that we do really triggers this change it just happens. I cant explain it and you cant explain it, it just happens.

Women seem to be riding the "Wild Thing" roller coaster through life with extreme highs, fast dips and low-lows while men are more of the "Amtrak train" sort of ride that is consistent on a steady pace with no real extreme lows and no real extreme highs with the exception of some peaks and valleys along the way.

You can usually feel the storm coming when talking on a consistent basis and although we try to be prepared for this storm we always seem to be missing something vital that we should have picked up along the way. (Your flares or rain gear...you get the analogy)

Women are almost "bipolar" in some senses of the word although they are not actually diagnosed by a physician (all of them anyway). They tend to say one thing and do the next and act like it didn't really happen or it is no big deal. The majority of the time it is no big deal but sometimes it can be and can affect certain situations. Even my own mom and sister are guilty of these things but to them it is no big deal. Its like "oh yeah I didn't tell you that,"no actually that must have been left out of the conversation but it would have been nice to know.

Men seem to walk on eggshells in relationships hoping to not make their wife or girlfriend mad because then "it will hit the fan" and they will pay in the future because we all know that women never let anything go. You could have done or said something years ago but when something comes up it is "remember that one time when this happened." Actually I do remember and am trying to move beyond that but somehow it always gets brought back up.

We need to work together and move on together if you are ever going to "be together." I am tired of the notion that men have to be constantly reminded of the bad things they have done instead of the good things and future things to come. Its almost hypocritical. Maybe that's why the divorce rate is pushing 50 percent. This means almost 1 out of every 2 marriages end in divorce. Wow.

Sometimes the saying "cant live with them, cant live without them" is a very true statement. All I ask is just try to be more consistent and we will do our best to train and be prepared for the storm when it comes even though we never know when it will hit, almost in "rogue wave" fashion.

Please understand that I am not writing this to bash women in any sense so please don't take it that way. I do respect all women and the choices that they make but sometimes it leaves me shaking my head wondering what is really going on because I don't understand the logic of the female brain.

On that note men- you better strap in for the bumpy ride because we are screwed!
