You obviously have no true empathy or understanding of women and part of figuring out what you like is making mistakes. Process of elimination.

I think many women know what the man they date is giving them a lot of BS. I imagine it's hard when you want to be lied to. I never lied to a woman, or flattered her beyond a realistic level. I always felt it would be too hard to keep up the pretense. A (girl) friend told me she was dating a guy who was in pre-med. Three years later, after they were married, he was working as an orderly. i think she may have considered dating me had she not fallen for his pitch.

I always tell the bliunt truth. I am a carpenter. That may not sound important--so I fall back on "Dad" in a pinch.

ohh so that's why men lie to women.

because we want them too!

thanks, paladin.

you've solved yet another one of life's great mysteries, right here on kittyradio.

****** bag.

umm...

In the construction industry, as with most activities where the customer is always right, a smart business person learns quickly that the woman of the household is not so interested in the truth as she is in hearing what makes her feel good. This makes it rather difficult at times to read their minds. They will think they want one thing, and later they will find reasons why YOU misinterpretted what they wanted. My job is complicated, but it is not rocket science. I know what I hear, and I know what they want, so I have been known to argue with my customer to insure that the job is done professonally.

A contractor told me recently that I have failed to make good money because I failed to understand the principle--"most people want to be lied to". As an honest person I have never adopted a work ethic that serves these desires. Sorry for being such an honest jerk!

you make relationships sound like ****in buisness transactions, that's pretty twisted.

and i just ****ing love how you generalize and stereotype.

just because you're fifty-two years and have been married to a wonderful woman for twenty-odd years while being in love with another woman... blah blah blah...

i see no reason why this makes you some sort of an expert on women.

cause i'll tell ya, the women in your life are pretty twisted themselves as far as i'm concerned.
