foot in mouth

men:// face value, sometimes blunt, more straightforward than the opposite sex, seem to like to tell it as it is....

is that the truth?

women://over-analyzing, coy, should play "hard-to-get", always expects the opposite sex to "understand" where they come from

really?


so if men and women really embody these stereotypes, one would think that it would be a good thing to mix it up. Such as a woman being straightforward and honest and men playing more of the mysterious role.
Not in the slightest would that work...majority rule in this subject.
Most women are not going to wear their heart on their sleeve, and if they do they are considered easy and disregarded.
Most men don't want to be perceived as emotional or sensitive so they will not be more coy or "hard-to-get"

By instinct they are hunters, they enjoy a fine chase.

They don't want their ladies to be too available or easy to contact...they want it to be hard as to feel accomplished when they get what they want.

Am I right?

It sounds so categorized...but isn't it true?

I've never had a good experience with a guy when I told him upfront, "I like you."
In fact that killed whatever there may have been.
In a sense I was too easy.
Too available...

What is wrong with that?

Normally, if you like someone you want to spend time with them and get to know them...
I can understand that it can become overbearing and an invasion of space, but geeze...you just communicate and assess your situation.

Why can't people be honest with each other?
I think it's because no one wants to hear it.

And as I have recently relearned in the past day, I may have strong opinions, but they are not meant to be shared with everyone. So perhaps this is the same thing...if you like someone you should probably just keep your mouth shut.
