I think some guys want to nourish their egos by claiming to understand women more than they do, and that their lives are more complicated than others may imagine... and patriarchical influences growing up may have ingrained in some of them that women lead simpler lives.
... and i think that women tend to assume they can relate to men sheerly on the basis of being human, without truly grasping how different the sexes actually are... and that failure to empathize leads them to think that men are more complicated than they really are.
... so that explains the high number of False poll answers for each sex.. on to my opinion...
Women and Men have different brains... scans and post-mortum tests have demonstrated this.
the architecture is different... the biochemistry is different. There are a lot of similarities, but that could be said of many, many, many animals... it's the minor neurological differences that make a huge difference in thought patterns and behavior. Things like tissue density, corpus callosum size, resting state location, and sensory input processing have a profound effect on things men and women think about, and how they think about them. (not to mention the detrimental effect that testosterone has on the lifespan of neural tissue, particularly the frontal lobe--which, arguably has a direct correlation to the lifespan of the person)
When it comes down to it, the female brain is more efficient than the male brain, allowing women to lead more complicated, meaningful lives. Whether they or society allows them to is another story.
Flase. Men and women are both human beings. We are truly extremely complex organisms. The way our body is compiled of all these different organs and bodily systems... It's incredible. Not to mention our brains! Some people's desires may seem simple and superficial on the surface, but are minds are full of complexities and intricasies and there is much more beneath the surface of these "simple desires." Even a dumb bimbo is more than meets the eyes. Her IQ of 12 doesn't change the fact that she has more going on within her than she even herself cannot understand. But yeah, human males are im the same boat as human females, just with different behaviorial, sexual, and emotional make up.
But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
i think its safe to say us women think guys are so complicated and vice versa. Women have rapid wavelengths of feelings and emotions and we can express it to people better then men can. Guys are simple, straight forward, I'm being more simple and straight forward (after seeing it a lot on G&G) because it gets me to where i want to be with a guy. I have more guy friends instead of girlfriends. Guys don't whine or whinge.. they are laid back and meh whatever like (that's more my style)
If you're talking about basic needs & wants, in my opinion we're very simple. If food, people, and a general life goal exists, I think I'd be okay in any situation.
In terms of reasoning ability, in my opinion we're a lot more straightforward than women. We give certain nuances less thought not because we don't realize their presence, but because they don't matter as much to us.
If you're talking about the ability to perceive, intelligence, wisdom, and etc, it obviously differs person to person just like with women.
simple? no, i think thats an overgeneralization. we do tend to break complex problems into simple ones and address them directly. men like to fix problems, women like to talk about their feelings for those problems. fixing the problem, is ultimately a simpler, and more effective solution.
Voila:
We also have simpler needs, generally.

True men are simpler creatures. Women are more complex without a doubt. over analyzing over thinking over emotional men want food sex admiration... Women are so complex they think men are complex. Women are the ones who expect men to read their mind, why not make it simple and TELL US HELP A MAN OUT =)
A woman thinks about what nail polish would be ideal. A man thinks about whether it would be ideal to care about which nail polish is ideal.
In other words, men and women are both ideal-oriented, but men's ideals tend to focus on the mind (the inner-world) and women's ideals tend to focus on the world (the outer-world), and due to women's focus on the outer-world, they are driven toward complexity, but due to men's focus on the inner-world, they are driven toward simplicity.
At least, that's what I think. (Would it be ideal for me to care whether you agree with what I think and to ponder the hundred ways that someone could disagree? Nah. I'll just keep things simple by posting this opinion and moving on with my life.)
Anyone who voted true is a simple creature. Look at philosophy, science, artistic masterpieces, and then say men are simple. Every human is a vastly complex being with their own conscious, and to disagree is simply ignorant. Sad to see people believing comedy sketches to be fact, instead of jokes.
We're not simple, it's just that in the context you described- we only provide conversation or other types of input if they're needed. So if you're around a guy, he's more likely to be chill, keep his problems to himself, and react to things in the situation. Girls are more likely to just toss everything out there so they can hear it out loud, and sort through it or discuss it with friends.
So it's a matter of men being more self-reliant, while women are geared more towards being group-reliant. Just because men aren't spewing out everything in their head to you, doesn't mean that they aren't always thinking (same as you). This is a kind of fallacy by assumption more than anything.
Men aren't more simple than women, we're different in our own ways than women. An apple isn't less than an orange, it's just an apple :)
Depends on how you define "simple".
Capable of enjoying the small and simple things in life, then sure.
Many people regardless of gender are fundamentally basic or "simple". It's common that people who are confused tend to think that is a sign of complexity.
Having depth of character or emotional depth has little to do with gender.
Quite true. Don't bullshit around, don't be dramatic, just be chill. Sex and food are pretty much the basics to keep me happy.
Haha, first of all it's true... that may be one of the reasons why girls seem to be much better in multitasking.
And you girls are complicated, for centuries we've tried to understand how "the girl" works and thinks but you know why?
We're too simple to understand :-)
I agree I don't need much to me happy. Money, women, a nice house, good food is the life. I don't constantly think either but I really doubt other guys are really this way. I mean some might be. I mostly think about things I want to and avoid other stuff.
In a manner of speaking, yes. Men are complex like women, but tend to use focused thinking, while women tend to use dispersed thinking. That may come off as 'simple.'
Yes, absolutely we are simplistic. Males tend to think in a very linear, "short", "straight arrow" type of way.
Our deep down simplicity is what makes it so hard for many of u females to understand us! :-P
It depends. I see myself as a simple man. I don't need or want much; however, I am very intrinsically motivated to do work, learn, and further myself in life.
But i guess, in all that simplicity, there was a lot of complexity to make it to that simplicity, if that makes sense.
I think you have a skewed view of men, perhaps from men around you that are what you're describing. Men and women have very similar needs and wants, and being a deep-thinker or not depends on the person -- not the sex of the person.
I mean the smartest and wisest people throughout history have usually been men you know, not implying that women are simple creatures or anything though, lol.
I think that they're simple in the way that there's a handful of simple things that make them happy. But complex in the way that it's hard to always know what they're thinking. Basically not all that different than us. :)
making you believe were a lot more interested then we really are
feed us , fuck us and we are pretty happy with out any other concerns... lol
Completely false. Depends on the guy. We can't just make an invalid judgement based on every single guy in the world. Some are just simple, and some are just extremely composite. Some are even a mix of both, simple and composite.
You raise a fair point. The three things I do in my waking hours are masturbate/have sex, eat food, and chill with friends. Pretty simple needs.
I say it's true. All men are the same too. We all just wanna love someone, fuck someone, eat, sleep, play games, party, etc.
I think there's a lot going on in every guys head, most just either don't know how to or don't want to show it. You have to know there's a lot of pressure on guys to not be emotional.
they see things different to us.
we might think of them as simple but that's by our standards. to them, we could be over-complicated. it just depends on whose eyes we're looking from
