Yes, this is the kind of popular stereotypes that creates a false polarisation between people. Stereotypes of all kinds are one of the major, if not the major, reason why people feel they don't understand each other.

However there are certain things that men will never understand baout women and visa versa.

Sure, a man will never understand what it feel like to have menstruation. I will never understand what it feel like to have body parts dangling between my legs.

However, these factors are hardly major influences on our personalities and our mind sets. To men who feel they want to understand women, my advice is: start with understanding people.

Well said, CE. I'll keep that in mind.

That is the subject for other discussions, this thread pertains to the femal/male dynamic.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus...

I happen to be from Saturn, not Venus.

Heh, you should see Mars and Venus after Mars gets back from one of her long business trips.

Oh, you weren't talking about that Mars and Venus?

Back in my country, we have public transportations called jeepneys. These are jeeps with an extended rear to provide more passenger space. As such, the passengers from both sides of the vehicle would be facing each other.

So, you got a girl with this miniskirt... and the guys seating in front of her would "give her the eye beneath the skirt."

Girl gets offended and shouts at the men, "WTF are you looking at?!"

One of the guys would say, "hey, if you don't want us to be looking what's beneath your skirt, then don't even think of wearing miniskirts..."

Given the fact that most men are going to try to look up my skirt, I keep my legs crossed when sitting, unless I want him to look up my skirt which hasn't happened yet.

Ahhh... yes... the Art of Sitting

Maharlika quotes CE, as follows:
However, these factors are hardly major influences on our personalities and our mind sets. To men who feel they want to understand women, my advice is: start with understanding people.

...and responds:

Well said, CE. I'll keep that in mind.

*blink* Didn't I write that as well, several messages earlier? Or is it that we haven't been introduced--or is it my cologne...?

It's because I have a skimpier skirt than you have

I knew it had to be that. I probably should ditch this fish cologne, too. I've had three offers from cruising flounders in the last hour.

I think fish cologne is contraproductive from a pedagogic point of view

So is skimpy skirts, I belive. On of my female colleagues held a series of lectures to a class I happened to have a couple of friends in. Some of the guys in the class didn't even remember what the lectures was about, since they had been constantly daydreaming about the more physiological aspects of my very well endowed colleague...

Same thing goes for handsome male lecturers, of course. I once had a very handsome male teacher in physiology...all the girls in the class immediately went totally deaf as soon as he flexed his muscles to demonstrate the motoric aspects of the peripheral nervous system

It all depends on your audience. I knew one music director at a public radio station in North Carolina who had earlier been a regional manager for a chemical company. He was brought to their national offices periodically to give lectures to other regional managers on various aspects of organization. Once, this man in-his-fifties was congratulated after a particularly focused speech-and-question session by an extremely attractive younger woman who was another regional manager. She enthusiastically told him, "Wow, if you can make love the way you organize your speeches, you must be something in bed." He turned her down out of marital fidelity, but never got over it.

See: sometimes, good presentation really does count.

Now, that's a lady with the right idea, IMO
