2) Women are 15% ego, 20% intellect, 25% emotions, 5% their wardrobe, 10% what their Dad thought of them, 9% what their friends think of them, 17% what their first boyfriend did to them, 11% what their LAST boyfriend did to them, 2% what the books they read tell them they should be, and 20% what they hope they will someday be.   Sometimes more, never less.  

3) Women are creatures of deep feelings mixed with inexplicably contradicting intellectual thoughts.   When emotions run contrary to what their brains tell them, the brain doesn't stand a chance.   This is because they are born with the ability to give life and nothing in the universe could point more towards a hopeful future.   In their lives they constantly run into disappointments (usually us) and their heart FORCES them to be optimistic about the future.   If they could truly believe what their brains are telling them, they'd probably not want to go on.   They CERTAINLY wouldn't want one of us.  

4) Women were taught to not fear their feelings.   They were encouraged to share them and to look to others for guidance.   Little girls almost always love their father.   In fact, most little girls lives would have been immeasurably improved later on if Dad had taken them aside at about 10 and said `I love you too, Honey, but I'm never going to marry you.' Little girls always trusted their father and later, very mistakenly, transferred that trust to men in general.   Most often, we abused that trust.  

5) Women share their feelings.   Probably because they have too many to keep to themselves, often because they learn from hearing other people's feelings.   Often they share their feelings with us because it makes them feel better to know that we are listening.   But all they want is for us to LISTEN - they almost never want us to try to help them fix their feelings - which is good, because what WE KNOW about fixing bad feelings wouldn't fill a thimble.  

6) Women try to accommodate every situation they encounter.   At some age, she's told that she has to wear this incredibly uncomfortable tight elastic brassiere, that she can't take her shirt off when it's hot, like he boys can, and that boys are now things that one must be careful with when playing.   All of a sudden she's different than she was before and either no one explains, or she can't understand what it's all about.   Shortly thereafter, she is taken to a gynecologist, where she has to spread her legs for a man they've never seen before who pokes and prods around in cavities the girl hardly noticed just a year before with ice cold metal instruments in a manner that unerringly makes them feel humiliated and violated.   The entire process is scary, embarrassing and humiliating ...   yet they learns to cope with it at a very young age.   It also makes them stronger inside than men - don't EVER forget that fact.  

7) Women want to be desired.   They want to be swept off their feet, taken and possessed.   In return, the giver of life inside them wants to give US life.   They want to please us.   No matter how logically we try to explain and they try to understand, a part of them deep down inside feels, and will always feel, that it is their responsibility to ...   complete us.   Nothing we ever do or say will keep a part of them from feeling like a failure when they see that no one of ANYTHING will complete us.  

8) Women learn from aversion therapy.   All too often, MEN are that therapy.   They like men, but we confuse them.  

9) Women want to `relate' to us.   They connect with men by getting inside us and becoming a part OF us.   We make them a part of our world, yet never fully invite them into it.   They often think about us, how we've affected them and about `the relationship.' It makes them angry and very sad to find out that we don't reciprocate.  

10) Women talk in great detail about the myriad little parts of their day.   This is because many things that happened to them were felt with their emotions as well as processed by their brains.   They see the world in far more detail, color and texture than we are able and they'd like more than anything for us to feel that richness with them.   They don't understand that it's not about us not being willing, it's that we are mostly unable.  

11) Our culture taught our women at an early age to put a high price on looks and every time we oogle a cute young woman, we reinforce that.   When she question's your choice of clothing for her it's partly because she knows that we hardly know the difference between taffeta and chain mail and partly because she doesn't see herself in the mirror like we do.   It would be nice if she would just be proud to wear what we like to see her in, but she wants other people to see her the way we do so that everyone will be attracted to her ..   and be envious of you.   So when she suggests to you that horizontal stripes don't look good in a size 18 skirt ...   don't ask why - just shrug your shoulders and give in.   Also, while WE know that 6 inch heels look good with hot pants, if you're headed over to your folk's place, she'll feel like the Whore of Babylon.  

12) She make even like dogs better than cats, but she relates better to cats.   Call it a sisterhood thing.   Dogs are wildly excitable, slobbering, careless brain-dead morons that may be easier to control, but don't have a lot of texture.  

13) Substitute `Men' for `Dogs' and you see why they are so easily frustrated dealing with men.  

14) Women constantly tell us that we shouldn't be afraid of letting them see our weaknesses and that they'd never exploit them.   This is true, but on the flip side, once they really SEE a weakness in us, it does lower us in their eyes.   They won't admit it, but it's true.  

15) Women spend a great deal of their lives coping with and adjusting to changes beyond their control.   They get good at it, but they really don't like it.   They value consistency and look to us to provide it.  

16) When women ask questions, they may not want an answer.   They may be looking for reassurance and for as many times as they SHOULD have learned better ...   they keep looking to US for it.  

17) It's relatively easy to put a thought out of your mind, but it's much harder to put an emotion out of your heart.   Women are constantly assaulted by their own emotions and each time, they analyze the emotion for what it may mean TODAY, even if they just checked in with it yesterday.   Every time she asks, tell her that yes, you really do love her.   It shows a weakness, yes, but it's easier for you to live with that weakness known than it is to her to live with that question unanswered.  

18) Women want monogamy because it represents to them consistency and security.   She already knows that you'd like a three way with her cute girlfriend and a part of her isn't opposed.   The problem is that a much BIGGER part is afraid that it will lead one day to you and her girlfriend asking her to join YOU TWO for a three way.   There ISN'T enough reassurance to make THIS ONE go away ...   so give it up along with that dream you had of being a rock star.  

19) Women grieve for past relationships, usually with help from their friends.   They even have the emotional equivalent of a funeral for the dead relationship, then they heal and move on.   But they never forget it, and a part of them looks at every move you make for signs of similarity.   When she talks about her past relationships ...   LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION.  

20) When they fight with us, they worry that they haven't hurt us enough and that we'll heal too quickly.  

21) When we finally win a woman, they hope we'll change.   We never do.  

Women are always asking us not to have `locker room' talk about her with our friends.   We don't of course, but they assume we do because THEY have locker room talks about us with THEIR friends and they share everything.   Habits, quirks, weaknesses, penis size, love making techniques, EVERYTHING.   Be afraid.   Be VERY afraid.
