Robin brings up a whole other can of worms. The female perspective and the male perspective on things.

I have a lot of female friends, just friends and they share a lot of stuff with me. I listen cause I made a lot of mistakes about women thru the years, so Ive spent the last 4 years trying to get a handle on what women want out of a man. Im not talking sexual here either.

Women to me and this is just my point of view tend to deal with things in a micro sense, all the little details. The reasoning behind ones actions, put this with the creative artistic and it really gets deep.

Ive got a female friend that is a singer and she and I have gotten to be really close platonic friends. She talks about all the little things that go into her creative process.

Whereas men tend to deal in the macro or bigger picture sense of things.

As a man I listen to music and say it either kicks ass or it doesnt. She on the other hand will pick it apart and say if you did this in the song it would bring more life into it. For me stuff either grabs me or it doesnt, something you might see when I review someones music on here. If it doesnt grab me then I probably wont ever listen to it again and this even includes stuff that Ive written myself. I just feel like Ive been there and done that, time to move on. Whereas a female might keep revisiting the song and try to make adjustments to make it better over time.

Just my 2 cents which isnt worth a whole heck uva a lot, but my listening to females has helped me in my personal relationships with them. Hopefully for the better.

I've observed that too JW.

And it's not just music. Women notice details when it comes to everything in life. This is why I have learned it really pays to pay attention to the details. It's harder for men - it's not something we do naturally I think - but if you can hone that skill... it's an asset.

Colors I guess what Im saying form personal experience is that women dont allways want me to solve a problem. They just want to talk about it. And they want me to listen, and when I say listen to symphathize with thier problem not really try to fix it. If you are dealing with a creative typr woman this can get hard to deal with.

As a man when presented with a problem, we just want to be quiet and fix it. If the sink is leaking we grab a wrench and start tightening things whereas a female wants to discuss the leak. At length.

I know youve been thru some stuff in the relationship area that has made you think about these things also.

Universally true of women JW. I've read that more times than I can count :-)

I must not be a "typical" woman. ROFLMAO There is no way I want to talk about things at length. In fact, I find that if I "discuss" problems that I am having with another person, I just get angrier. I have to let it go or I get worked up again. Must be why I don't look old, I don't worry about every little thing.

On the other hand, yes I do notice all the little details. If it matters big time, I will say something. If not.....no biggie.

What kills me are women who want their significant other to help around the house, but then don't like the way they do things and then b!tch about how they did it. My GOD, be thankful for the help! You can live with a bed not made just so, or bowls not stacked the right way. It's done isn't it? :roll:
