Men vs women. Who was more complicated?

I had a discussion about men vs women. Who was more complicated? I thought men were super uncomplicated. All you have to do is call a man a "handsome beast" and act like you mean it, and you'll have the ring, his heart, his car keys, and his house keys, by Thursday.

Yeah, it's AFTER you get the ring, his heart, and his keys when you find out he's much more complicated than you thought.
 
I have always considered women to be the great complicaters of life. Of course, women also make life more interesting.

Back when US Navy ships were crewed by males only, life was amazingly tranquil on a daily basis. However what was on the mind of most sailors during times at sea? Women of course. Biology and propagation of the species have a lot to answer for:LOL:

Of course the OP has an inner sense of what he is feeling and trying to relate as a question, however, "Who was more complicated?" is a poor way to describe such that any psychologist would just laugh at because it is more about differences in emotions, expectations, lack of trust, and resulting ways many poorly communicate to each other lacking understanding.

The concept of "complicated" is a subjective matter, in the eye of the beholder. Every person each has their own 'mix' of common human personality traits, some of which is subject to change, from time to time.
I have part of me deep down that is the same "me" from birth, surrounded by me traits that were forged from the experiences of life.
 
I heard once that the way men think is like waffles. It full of little compartments and each hold their own syrup and don't combine with any other compartments. When a man thinks, he just thinks of one thing at a time. To think of something else, he has to abandon the previous thought. Sounds like this is the reason some men can't multitask.

A woman's mind is like a plate of spaghetti. Everything is intertwined and touching in multiple places which makes women seem scatterbrained and unfocused.

I've heard a similar analogy..except we're not scatterbrained or unfocused in fact most of us are just the very opposite..
 
I wrote something along the lines of this thread

Posted here too many times
but
it's been awhile
so
Here it is again

Wimin

The most mysterious beings of our planet

I found out long ago, about sixty years or so, that gaining favor with the finer gender of our specie is not necessarily in my best interest.
Whole different frequency
Wired different
Fiber optic vs 9 gauge single conductor
Fascinating, mystical, attractive, you bet
Sensitivities I’d never remotely considered
But, hanging with a group of ladies?

Can’t

Mentally; exhausting

Socially; this ogre doesn’t stand a chance

Spiritually; beyond any reach I may have thought I had

Physically; like looking into the sun, can go blind if obsessing too long

Gaining favor?
Whimsical touches
Nothing of depth
Any more than that and I find myself precariously dangling off a mental precipice

I can do one, maybe two per sitting
and that is mostly because they sense my discomfort to the point of putting forth effort to discuss what I’m interested in
I’ve learned to pick up on this and placate for a bit, then find a way to excuse myself

I don’t avoid ladies, but have learned not to seek them out
It’s what shops are for

I’ve been fortunate

My lady has put up with me for half a century

When I become too much and I (for some unknown reason) anger her,
I found placing my calloused hand on the small of her back will still cause her to flinch
….and she begrudgingly forgives me

We have had this tryst, this romance that has yet to fade

She’s plenty for me

Forever


So, here I remain
Baffled, yet attracted at the mysteries, complexities
A sentry
A defender
A protector
A willing grunt

Keeping the fire

best I can

I doubt there is much real difference. Historically women have had to be a bit more hidden in their efforts to hold power equal to men, that might be confused with being more complicated. However that is changing...

Carl Stutz nailed it when he wrote the song for Kitty Kellen, such inspired lyrics:

Blow me a kiss from across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls
Champagne, sables and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
But honestly honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
Now and forever, that always and ever
Little things mean a lot
