Understanding women (sorry, not for the easily offended)

[fan(t)a(s)tic]

John was a real gem of a man. Always ready to help anybody in need. Not once did he think of himself first.

This did not go unnoticed and God decided to grant John a wish. "John," he said, "I am impressed by your selflessnes and generosity. I grant you a wish, name it and it will be yours!"

That set John to thinking. He answered, "Lord, I'd love to see the ocean and I heard good things about Hawaii. But I am afraid of flying, so could you build me a highway to get there?"

The Lord was a bit surprised by that wish and said,"But John, have you considered the amount of work needed for such a project? And what would the pacific look like with a highway running right through the middle of it?"

John frowned and being the good man that he was, reconsidered. "Well, Lord, in that case, I have another wish. I'd like to understand the way women think."

After a few seconds, God said:"John, that highway of yours, do you want two or four lanes?"

00scuba...a guy told me once their "secret" and now I understand them. However I can't tell you on this family board.

They make perfect sense. So, I now believe it up to us women to be complex, as men are so simple...

When we are born we know nothing and reley on others for everything
When we turn 5 we see we know nothing and ask tons of questions.
When we turn 10 we start to beleive we know alot.
When we turn 15 we're sure we know almost everything.
By 20 we know we know everything and start to make sure everyone else knows we know eveything.
At 30 we're not realy sure anymore?????
We turn 35 and it's starting to look like we question all we knew.
At 40 the questions are really deep and need to be answered.
Now we get to 45 and all that we knew and all that we questioned seen trivial.
At 50 we understand how little we ever really knew or understood about life.
The thing to remember is in the end all thats left is family.

Just one MANS opinion

P.S. I'm turning 49 soon

Hello,

I can tell you on public forum. The whole secret thing is not that big of a secret but more of a lost art form. It's called communication, understanding how/what the other person thinks/feels/needs, being non-judgmental and being true to yourself and the other person. Men and women approaches things differently, we communicate (or made an ill attempt to) for different reasons and understand things differently. The biggest key is understanding what these differences are, respecting those differences and not try to change the other person. However I think i posted this in the wrong forum!
