10 misconceptions about women

By Susan Hayden

As smart and capable as men can be, it's a wonder that most have yet to figure out women. To help, we approached a variety of women with some of the more common male perceptions of them and found out what they are really thinking. Though a highly subjective survey, here are some of the more interesting truths revealed from woman to man:

10. Man: Today's woman wants to be independent.
Woman: Yes, I may want my own job and my own life, but you should be aware that I also want the security of knowing that if I decide to stop working or get fired, you will take care of me for the rest of my life.

9. Man: Women dress provocatively so men will hit on them.
Woman: No, I dress this way to look good — to everyone. I don't necessarily want you to lust after me or even talk to me. Admire me, maybe — just don't come introduce yourself and expect me to hop in bed with you.

8. Man: Women always want to know what I'm "thinking."
Woman: I don't necessarily want to know your innermost feelings — I'm just curious about what goes on in that thick skull during downtime.

7. Man: Women are high-maintenance.
Woman: No, women just have more things to maintain — face, legs, bikini lines, etc.

6. Man: Along those same lines, women spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
Woman: I think men think we do this for them, when in reality, we do it for ourselves. The sexiest thing in the world is confidence, and I've learned as I grow older that it's not the style of my hair or my clothes, but how I feel in them and whether or not I feel at my best and most powerful. When I'm feeling hot is when I get the most head turns.

5. Man: She's after me for my money.
Woman: Women marry for love first, money second.

4. Man: Women blame everything on PMT.
Woman: If you had piercing bolts of pain down your back and felt like a keg was strapped to your belly two weeks out of every month, you would give blame where it's due, too. At least we let you know the cause of our whining and tantrums, and if we don't, you should already have it marked in your calendar with a note to bring us chocolate ice cream.

3. Man: Once married, or even in a long-term relationship, women are not interested in physical intimacy.
Woman: I'm just tired from taking care of you and your offspring.

2. Man: Women are too emotional.
Woman: Re-read #8, and get over it.

1. Man: Women are hard to read.
Woman: Pay attention. You'll get it eventually.

I can't help it, gotta comment.

10. Man: Today's woman wants to be independent.
Liisi: I don't know about this... I like to be independent because you never know what happens. A husband could leave, cheat, get fired himself or die on you, and that's when you need to be able to take care of yourself and your kids. Plus I hate it when I have no money of my own, in my marriage there's no such thing as "our money".

9. Man: Women dress provocatively so men will hit on them.
Liisi: Oh well, it depends on what we have in mind when we dress provocatively. If a woman hangs out in a bar looking hot and turns you down looking disgusted, she's propably just not that in to you Ok, I may be wrong here, sorry sisters.

8. Man: Women always want to know what I'm "thinking."
Woman: I don't necessarily want to know your innermost feelings — I'm just curious about what goes on in that thick skull during downtime.
Liisi: I totally agree here

7. Man: Women are high-maintenance.
Woman: No, women just have more things to maintain — face, legs, bikini lines, etc.
Liisi: Well doh...

6. Man: Along those same lines, women spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
Excuse me, do you think we wake up looking like we do??? It takes time and effort. Sorry to burst your bubble

5. Man: She's after me for my money.
Woman: Women marry for love first, money second.
Liisi: I'd say depends on the woman and the size of the man's bank account. Donald Trump may need to be wary. Oops, too late

4. Man: Women blame everything on PMT.
Liisi: It's no imaginary condition you know. It's hell for most of us.

3. Man: Once married, or even in a long-term relationship, women are not interested in physical intimacy.
Woman: I'm just tired from taking care of you and your offspring.
Liisi: Thank you sister. Besides, the interest might be gone due to many different reasons. A woman doesn't just go off automatically after she gets the ring on her finger, nor does she automatically go on every time a man shows his hairy arse. A man might wanna take a good look in the mirror in this situation. Oh, and listen, please.

2. Man: Women are too emotional.
Woman: Re-read #8, and get over it.
Liisi: Nothing to add here.

1. Man: Women are hard to read.
Woman: Pay attention. You'll get it eventually.
Liisi: There is a clear pattern if you take the time to think about it

Yep... spot on Liisi




ain't that the truth?

Pah!

To Susan Hayden (has this been posted before?)

10. Today's woman wants to be independent.
I couldn't agree more with Liisi's answer. A woman wants to take care of her childrena and her own life, no matter does the man exist in her life or not. Not all of the men are trustfull.

9. Women dress provocatively so men will hit on them.
Liisi has got the point again: She may not be that in to them eventhought that some men tries to hit on her, even then when she isn't a single person anymore!

8. Women always want to know what I'm "thinking."
If you know someone really by heart, you don't need to know what he's thinking. I have never asked any male person "What are you thinking" but I've asked their opinion over professional subjects that I know that they know.

7. Women are high-maintenance.
I'll have to admit that in this situation of my life children and hb comes first, I'm the last. I think that it's ment to be that children are high-maintenance, but it's great in that way - I'd do everything for them. But I won't stay at home as a housewife. I need to to some work outside of my home. I save money where ever I can - I've been grown up like that. But I'm not an average woman from that point of view. All I need for me now and then is some privacy - to be alone by myself.

6. Along those same lines, women spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
Really? Who on earth brought that up? Not me, eventhought that I use a shower many times per day because of my work. In my ordinary daily life I don't wear any make-up and my hair can be anyway they are or they are just tied up. And in special occasions it isn't a bathroom where I dress myself and do my make up and do my hairdressing. And I can save some money as well for other interests when I don't spend lots of money often to make-ups and other stuff.

5. She's after me for my money.
Look at my answer name six - thread - why money can't buy love. I hate when male persons starts on a date to explain how much they earn or how much they own I've dumped that kind of males immediately. It's the real person that signifies everything and that he has grown up in a certain way to be an adult. Money can't teach anybody behave like that.

4. Women blame everything on PMT.
What's PMT? We have changable hormonal life and men doesn't. Women are built in that way. What's so hard to understand when it's part of the naturality. Correct dieting, having enough fresh air at the outdoors, regular exercising, etc. minimizes most of the symptoms. But you can't turn biological facts off.

3. Once married, or even in a long-term relationship, women are not interested in physical intimacy.
Whaat? Maybe in those cases when a hb treats his wife like his mother. Mothers are not allowed to have physical intimacy with their sons.
Of course there are a perioid after labour that makes some women not to be interested in physical intimacy for a while.

2. Women are too emotional.
Who on earth has been written the most beautiful love lyrics, poems, songs, books etc.? Answer is - men! So who's over-emotional? How many woman makes crimes in passion? And how many men? C'mon - let's face a fact that women are more practical but more capable to show their emotions, it's allowed. Men are more romantic and they have learnt to not to show their emotions.

1. Women are hard to read.
That's the life-time mystery to men. Why don't you try to live with women instead of trying to read them?

I think generalisations are always bad, whoever they are about. I don't spend lots of time in the bathroom because I am always in a rush.. but my brother happily stands in the shower for an hour

It is all personal to the individual... *shrugs*

Ah now that sounds like a brother I know Milly.

And as for wanting to know what they're thinking?Think most of us have figured the answer will involve beer,sky sports or when they are going to get their next sh*g.Or if he's the imaginative type it'll involve all 3.Preferably at once

LOL Cameron!

Today's woman wants to be independent.
Course we do - would you prefer a whiny, needy clingy woman who rings you every five minutes to check up on where you are, what you're doing and who you're with? Thought not. Doesn't mean we hate men and 'vant to be alone' though.

9. Man: Women dress provocatively so men will hit on them.
Some do, let's be honest. But mostly we just want to look good and feel good about ourselves which isnt always easy when we're surrounded by images of Kate Moss

8. Man: Women always want to know what I'm "thinking."
Bit of a cliche I think - but men do go off into their own little worlds sometimes. And women ARE better at talking about how they feel. Sometimes, we just expect a bit of effort back.

7. Man: Women are high-maintenance.
Are you saying we're not worth maintaining?

Man: Along those same lines, women spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
So, you'd prefer us with gorilla legs, hairy pits, lank hair and a moustache, would you?

5. Man: She's after me for my money.
Only if you find Alan Sugar attractive

4. Man: Women blame everything on PMT.
PMT!!!! WHAT ****** PMT??????!!!!

3. Man: Once married, or even in a long-term relationship, women are not interested in physical intimacy.
We are.....just with Brad Pitt or George Clooney.
Serious answer - it takes two to tango, and it's not just about physical stuff for women - it's about feeling loved and cared for too. Head stuff as well as body stuff!

2. Man: Women are too emotional.
Yes, sometimes we are. But sometimes men aren't emotional enough. Give and take....

1. Man: Women are hard to read.
But getting to the end of a good book is very, very satisfying.....

So what about misconceptions that women have about men??

very good........wheres the bacardi sorry i can be serious
