Explain to me humans and I can explain men to you.

All women want these days is sex! Meanwhile us guys just want to cuddle and talk about our feelings.....

That's a sexist comment which mirrors the equally sexist trope emanating from the other side of the fence - 'women are a mystery', 'what do women want?' etc etc... It's lazy and tedious.

I'm going to stand up for men here. Just as women are all different, so too are men.

Some men are good, some men are bad. There is infinite variety. Men are not all the same.

First, assume a woman, but then add immense social pressure to always be 100% in control of every situation and social pressure to never display emotions other than anger except when trivial things like sports are concerned.

A man is never allowed to admit defeat, show weakness, or be boring - must always be "more man" than all other men and pretend to have more depth than may actually be present. A man must bury all feelings and obfuscate/deflect/project when someone tries to get too close. Love and sex are determined to be the same thing and are treated as a competition - men must "win" to be considered "true men."

Any deviance from this is punished severely by ostracism, marginalization, and undermining of their value as a person and accusations of not being a "real man"

Just humans, like women - more similar than different really.

And we don't all care about sports or drinking beer.

First, determine whether you are dealing with a man or a boy. My guess is the latter. Advice: Run.

It's very simple: Food, sex, beer, football. In that exact order. Not exaggerating. That's about it.

Your problem is that you're trying to find complexity where there quite simply is none.

There is no "refresher course". It's an ongoing, never-ending, program.

Watch Red Green to understand men.

This is simple. Men think women are too weak to live, women think men are too stupid to breathe. This triggers the avian/mammal "love" response: small, helpless things get loved, ensuring babies get taken care of. If you posted with a specific guy in mind, try to look for signs of intelligence.

They are different creatures but really not that hard to please. They want to be appreciated, don't bitch at them the minute they get home from work, let them relax. However, in my experience my ex was an alcoholic so no matter what I did, it was wrong. I still have hope but don't put much of an effort out there to meet anyone. If it happens, it happens. Communication is key, oh and a healthy sex life. If they aren't getting it at home, they will stray.

Feed regularly , service weekly , nod head and making yes noises...job done really

I really have to stifle my grumble with these kinds of questions... and for really obvious reasons. Do you think all women are a monolith of sorts? Of course not. Neither are men. There are patterns, of course... but not homogenousness.

In the final analysis, who you really need to understand is yourself: what you value and what you need over want. If you understand this, then the reproductive gear a human is packing isn't relevant beyond preference and aesthetics. You just figure out if they work for you. Many people won't work and that's ok. If you aren't motivated by fear and desperation, you should have the patience to wait and find the right person instead of doing what a lot of people do: jump to the first person that numbs their loneliness and then complains later on to find out they weren't a good match. Know yourself and do your homework!

Bit ambitious to understand all men. We're all different. Just try to understand one at a time.

Could anybody explain human beings to me? I am pretty certain that the lunatics took over the asylum a long time ago and have been running things ever since.

No point in explaining, if you did not get it the first time you never will, he,he.

Men Are From Mars,Women From Venus.

If there was any advantage in being understood we would have evolved communication skills.

I would be glad to if you could do the same for me with women.

Men are very different to women. The problem is that men think women think the same way as them, and visa versa. The first step is to realise this.

Of course there are intelligent, kind, respectful, thoughtful and faithful men. They are usually married.

"I feel like I'm dealing with the leftovers," the last man I dated said about dating. "Sometimes I I feel that way, too," I replied.

On the second day of a two-day visit, Rob, 70, chose to act moody, grumpy and withdrawn. He did not even show good manners. He reminded me of a petulant child who sulks at a party. "Thank you for putting up with my bullshit," Rob said that afternoon. I let it pass.

I stayed calm and rose above. Thank goodness his friend, Mike, stayed for dinner. I had a wonderful time talking and laughing with Mike.

"I refuse to be around a moody, grouchy person," I told Rob in my kiss-off email. "If you act this bad at the beginning of our relationship, how will you act when we are more involved?"

I find her question to be open and honest with a dash of humor. What is wrong with that?

I can try to explain ME to you but that is all I am qualified to do.

When I used to get in male mode (I was gender fluid before I started taking derris scandens) I only wanted the same things..all the time:

to find a bar to sit, drink beer and ogle pretty women-by the way, to me, ALL women were beautiful- while listening to cool music.

Other than that, I wanted to watch, and bet on, every sport of every kind, even school kids playing soccer in the park. Or fighting beetles.

My female side wouldn't allow beer drinking (it causes wrinkles) but I could look at women all I wanted, since as a demisexual, I feel no lust.

But I observed that my somewhat "fellow" males, the real deals, seem to only want food, sex, beer, and sports also, except they don't have to deal with a limiting female side, except maybe their wives.

Funny question we're not complex at all. We think differently than females and as such we have some communication problems which is normal. The main issue I see in the male female relationship is understanding the differences in the way we think and the way we express ourselves. The female lectures man until she's blue in the face in most cases he would have tune her out. The desire to change an individual is not practical. If you like the individual as he was then let it be. Men are fairly straightforward. If they're quite chances are I need some down time. If they're a little hyper and they may need some projects which you could suggest but not the demand. We're no different then females in that we like respect and if we give respect we expect it in return. I guess in summary I would say we're not complex were fairly straightforward I think in the case of females the opposite may be true which aides in the problem with communication.
