I feel like sherlock Holmes whenever I'm talking to a woman I'm interested in.

Their words and sentence structure may be similar to the English I know and love. But, they word things in ways that make no fu***** sense.

I feel like most things they say are laced with metaphor and enigmatic riddles. Every sentence and movement is laced with a code that no man fully understands.

I've never had any real problems talking to females but I feel like men are a lot more universal and easier to flirt with.

Anybody agree with me?

The feelings that women cannot get enough of are to be beautiful, chosen, needed, adored, protected, irreplaceable, and valued. Some women run towards a guy and take love in easier than others. The girls that have it tough and get heart broken early will put her guard up, others will use guys sexually to fill the void in their heart. The way we function is to embrace those feelings that I listed in any way possible, pinpoint that.

Um.I think it depends on the person. It's a case by case basis. Not all women are complex. Some are simple and mean what they say. I know a few men who are freaking crazy and make no sense at all.

I was just talking to my friend about this and I have few things to tell you, yea sometimes we tend to be deep in the conversation and hide the meanings behind the words, but its fun to look for them and actually understand them if you know what I mean
however, some mean are really hard to understand as well, sometimes you never know if they mean something or not, like for example the word babe , sometimes you would use it with a girl you are interested in and sometimes you would use it just to mess around.
Men are not easy to flirt with because they would think you wanna get sexual with them most of the time while women mostly don't aim for that when you flirt with them
p.s. don't complain about sherlock holmes he's the dude man :D
oh and one last word its totally natural that you feel this way it has been the unsolved mystery of all time that men find women kinda hard to understand/ get/ analyze and same for women but that's just how life is you know. you can never get to a full understanding really haha

Women are prone to playing with men.since they are the ones being chased , usually, they indulge in game playing with guys they aren't really interested in. They want to say mainly how long you will put up with it.

Just run away when this happens, but think of some enigmatic things to say to them first. Then THEY will be the ones going crazy trying to figure out what you meant!

tazzy Yeah it's called the "hoops"/"shit test". The more you try to comply the more she becomes less interested!

Am sure this is common for you guys here who are into club scene. Meet or get introduced to a girl, you chat her up and soon she says, "get me a drink" !! And off you go being chivalrous. Wrong!!! Instead be funny/cocky and say "You get me one first and I'll get you one after? I don't even know you yet!!". She'll try to win you back and convince you she's worth getting a drink for. - 4 months ago

Reading people's responses brings up something I have learned about women.

Specifically, sexwiseman's comment about his girlfriend wanting him to "read" his mind. In talking to girls about relationship expectations, I've found that women are expecting that when they find their right partner, that person will be able to look at them and just "know" what they are thinking. It's not so much they expect you to be psychic, but the idea is that if you have really done your homework in regards to "reading" your girl, that when she gives you a look, you'll know what it means.

Now, I can't say every girl I've discussed this with expects you to know looks. Some of them expect you to know their body language primarily. Some of them expect you to know what key words are getting at. Some of them expect that when they position, or pose their body a certain way, you'll get the message.

Now, logically I can think of dozens of other situations in life where this sort of "read" is applied. Where we read individuals or groups of people for indicators that will tell us what to expect, or what they are expecting. Another example is the game of Poker, where you're scanning your peers for "tells" that indicate a certain pattern of behavior which in turn tells you something about their cards, or lack there of.

So, when putting it in this context, I don't believe women to be asking such a ridiculous request of men. I agree, it's bizarre at first look, and it takes a lot of work. But maybe the point is that if you're willing to do a lot of work on a subject you're not comfortable with, that it goes to proving the words you speak to her as being true. In other words, your actions support what you're saying.

I suppose the argument will roll on, but after giving this subject a lot of thought, I can't write it off as useless like I once did.

LOL, am glad for you dude, you realized this early on and hopefully it doesn't take you long enough to figure out what it is exactly all about. But in short we think in terms of logic and reason, girls think in terms of emotions.

When you ask your girl if she wants to go dine out, she might say "no I don't want!", you're in a cheerfull mood and are cocky and funny and hug her and tell her about your day yada yada and you ask her 10 minutes later and now she wants to go and you're thinking WTF. Well that is her thinking in terms of emotions. Suddenly she feels being around you uplifts her so now she says yes.

If I had to suggest a good book I'd say read: "The Way Of The Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Woman, Work, and Sexual Desire". link

This book really helped me a lot.

sexwiseman Excellent advice. Emotions drive women and guys are more 'black and white' as I call it. I use to have a girlfriend that would look at me, and then would be upset; weeks later she told me that she was looking at me so that I could kiss her....well hell, how am I supposed to read her mind? I'm no psychic! Why coudln't she just initiate the kissing, or say kiss me? :))) So the more you hang around women, the more you understand their quirks. - 4 months ago
