Both are complicated. The difference lies in the fact that men tries to solve things logically and women solves things through instinct. Men cannot complicate things because they can only process one issue at a time since everything must be processed (1 issue solved by 1 process) - this assures that things are fair and understood, however it takes up way too much time. Women have a lot of complicated issues but solve those issues quickly (multiple issues solved through multiple processes) - they know what they want and need and have already reached the necessary conclusions - because of this, though, more complications arise from the quick fixes and/or the feeling of overwhelming issues come through different events, situations, and other friends with issues of which they also try to solve.
Man: "There is a problem. Perhaps I can fix it. Let's start with logical process #1..." Woman: (doesn't talk, assumes you know the issue, she has already solved it, and is waiting for you to be on board)
The average person would probably say women, due to more and sometimes irregular changes in emotion/moods. However, women usually don't hide what they think. Men typically hides things inside, and won't let anything out, even going so far as to deny certain feelings.. 🤔
As with so many other things, neither sex is actually complicated. It's just difficult to many a person, seeing things from beyond their own perspective. Everything is simple, once understood.
Whereas human beings are inherently complex organisms , bc we have advanced cognitive abilities and ability to analyze and synthesize date as well as share essential functions that have us all operating within relatively predictable and comprehensible manner enabling us to regard to other human beings very effectively... people become _complicated_ When they are unable or unwilling to communicate with other human beings. Resulting in ignorance misunderstanding bias and overall inability to solve otherwise simple problems and of course, drama. There is nothing productive about avoiding communication but people are still taught there is power in it... many believe they have nothing to communicate. Not understanding yourself does not mean there is no swig to understand.
Somehow I recalled something my (male) doctor told me more than once: "I'm sorry I cannot pinpoint what's wrong. It may not be an internal medicine issue. If you were a man it would be simpler for me to diagnose an abdominal pain, but you're a woman, have more organs and can therefore suffer from other possible conditions while experiencing the same range of symptoms".
I think this is true in many other levels as well. Sometimes women tend to connect issues and react bitterly to something when the real issue is something entirely different. Many times it's hard to pinpoint the real issue, we just know something doesn't feel right and end up reacting to it anyway. At least I know I do many times.
Men really only want a few things from women. 1.) Someone they are attracted to. 2.) Someone they can get along with. 3.) Someone occasionally gives back instead of just taking.
Women are totally nuts. They all like the bad boys until they get knocked up by a bad boy and have secured those "alpha male" genes. That's why you have so many single mothers all over the place today asking, 'where have all the good men gone?'
What women want and what they say they want are two very different things.
Men are complicated af. The lack of understanding and willingness to express their emotions creates a potent and toxic cocktail that most women have the misfortunate of experiencing at one point or another. Add to that negative, misogynistic masculinity and it's a nightmare.
But having said that, humans are complicated. I dont think any one gender is more complicated. Human psychology and development is a complex knot for everyone, some individuals are more complicated but its not based on gender. In fact, a lot of men are likely to suffer more from some psychological conditions. So I think it's just humans that are complicated and many of us understand/have more experience with one vs. the other.
I relate waaaay more to women and gay men than straight men.
Men are disillusioned right off the bat. Women are pampered from the earliest stages to live in a dream. Women have to wait until. they are old and ugly until they realize all the niceness aimed at them was bullshit. Men on the other hand start off without inflated value and develop it rightly through life. As men get older they get sexier, as women get older they get uglier, because men have accumilated much more assests in terms of character
Sort of. Girls are just illusioned, they are honey potted. Men don't like the truth either but they can't relay on being pretty to be worthy of anything. Like, womens artificial value is derived from a mothers care towards her daughters which most moms dont really have any love for their sons. While its okay for a woman to socialise and be priveleged by the mother and broader society men are left to be totally self sufficient. Mothers even expect their sons to become "the man of the house" revoking any caring treatment from men as children and demanding the produce resource for her as early as childhood. Women just remain illusioned because thats how they appease mother. They later emulate their mother and the cycle repeats. But men don't neccessarily favour truth, they just try to appease mother in a different way, which is by becoming her spouse and provider
Life isn't about men vs. women. People are just complicated creatures.
Personally, I find that it's healthier to just focus on what you can do for yourself and how you can build your own character and own positivity from within. The challenges of life expands our souls.
Both are complicated to the opposite sex. Men are pretty much clueless when it comes to what women want and need. Women can't figure out how men can be so clueless when it comes to feelings, emotions and other things women find quite normal and easy to understand. Also men can't figure out why their lady nags. The truth, in most cases, is that if the men followed through on doing what they say they will do as well as when they say they will do it, the woman will have no reason to nag.
@jessture No I'm not. I'm saying men are famous for saying they will do something, whatever it may be, and then not doing it. Sometimes they promise numerous times. The wife it told it'll be done. The wife waits and after awhile comes back to the husband asking when he is going to do it. That goes on all the time. Men call that nagging. I say if the husband says he's going top do something, he should do what he says. That's a the women want. Do think the women want to have to do what they do. If the man does what he promises, no "nagging" wife. How can you refute this?
@Hurlyburly Are you serious? A man tells you he will do something that needs to be done and doesn't get to it for six months, that's okay? You're a very rare woman if you have no problem with your man saying he will take care of something and he doesn't get to for many months to get to it. I find that hard to believe.
@Hurlyburly I believe you. Looking at it now knowing you weren't serious, it's a good joke! On GAG, there are so many people who come up with the weirdest things. Some are very hard to believe.
I agree with the comic above, men are stupid and women are crazy! They are probably crazy because of how stupid we are, but it is what it is. That said women are far more complicated then men. Men just need 2 things taken care of: penis and stomach. Take care of these things and we’re happy. Women need much more
We’re complicated but only because the men dont understand how “simple” we try to make things for them. We’re complicated because they dont get it no matter how we hint or explain it
Women are definitely more confusing. If at any point in time one has to use signals when words are something we have over other creatures, or not saying what one means, then obviously they are more complex than simple. Women themselves even say that they are more complicated. If they can agree, then I don't see how it might be wrong.
Women’s attractions and arousal sure seems more fickle than men which is why it can seem like guys are less complicated. Our attraction, lust, and interest is usually more straight forward
Both are complicated but we en try harder, while men are more lazy.
The lazy ones are better at solving problems. The ones who keep working harder, if she is on the right path then she can solve the problems. If she is on the wrong path working hard, then no one can stop her and she will destroy relationships.
So let me get this straight. The lazy ones solve more problems. ... Doesn't that make them automatically the more effective ones? A do-nothing machine is useless, no matter how hard it does nothing.
@Benedek38 lazy people usually does nothing, and or finds the easiest way out. they are more relaxed, care free and don't care as much. if you read, how to have a new husband by Friday, men usually will not care for many things like women because they are in their lazy do nothing mode.
@Benedek38 you never read books to understand men, so i say what i read and experience. Look up memes. I am done talking to you after this because your understanding is so low. Going to sleep women have a list of 100 things to do. Men just sleep. There's a meme on that. But how old are you? How many self help books do you read a year? If you are in your 40s and you read 20-40 self help books a year, you would know. Have a nice life.
"you never read books to understand men" Well, you certainly don't, and it shows.
"Going to sleep women have a list of 100 things to do. Men just sleep." I live alone in a flat. Before I go to sleep I have to train if I haven't yet, do the dishes, do the washing, hang the clothes, prepare for the next day, tidy up the place if needed, study (because I am in university), shower, brush teeth, lock door, take off and fold my jeans and sweaters, etc... Not a hundred things, but I am pretty sure at my age you can only top this if you wear makeup, have long hair, or have a kid - and all of those are optional.
But again, keep on manhating.
"If you are in your 40s and you read 20-40 self help books a year, you would know." So we are measuring intelligence by... Number of self help books read? What?
Women. I’m not even saying it’s their fault, I think it has to do with their hormones. Women have mood swings that even they say come out of nowhere, and that would confuse the hell out of me too. I can’t imagine being in a bad mood and having absolutely no idea why.
Me! I have a boyfriend who is a bit older, and I really love him. But when I'm ovulating I just can't keep my hands off him, and when I'm on period, he'll breathe, and I'll feel like I want to kill him. then a minute later I'll start crying for having that thought. After that I'll probably get horny. Then Repeat.
My girlfriend is similar. The week BEFORE her period she’s EXTREMELY moody. Then her period happens, it ends, and I’m “the best boyfriend in the world.” I love her to death but it drives me NUTS. She’ll just flat out ignore me that week before her period, for no reason. Do you do that too? Lol
I don't ignore my boyfriend, we're actually long distance, he's 3 hours away. I don't see him very often, so it's more like jump on him and cling to him like a koala bear when I'm on my period. My brain chooses to do some very strange things sometimes.
Well to be honest, I'm a bad friend because I don't contact people. Honestly, I can go periods of not using my phone for 3 months, not joking. I'm not really into snapchat and stuff like that, I never have been. So if I texted someone everyday, wow my friends would be shocked. I don't even text my boyfriend everyday.
Men definitely. Women are complex but their complexity is small it only looks so big because it’s a type of complexity that fits with many things but realistically that complex thing is only one thing. Men though have something complex for everything literally. Peeing. Showering. Timing. Reasoning. Leading especially. Lying to protect both sides it doesn’t stop.
Women, but not so much once you understand one basic rule.
It is more important to observe what a women does, not what she says. A women's actions will protray her true self more than what will ever come out of her mouth. Often what a women says it's just verbal/mental gymnastics to rationalize her actions.
It's the opposite sex of the one you are, like a man I'd if you're a woman and a woman is if you're a man. We are wired and think differently from one sex to the other, so how would you readily expect to understand the other so easily?
Men and women are both complicated, both stupid, both smart and both anything, just not in the same or even opposite regards.

Men. They sit there and complain and then say “nothing’s wrong with me!” Then you ask them to talk and they say “you can talk” then!! They get all sensitive if you decide to take some time for yourself and then they wanna act possessive but call you crazy if you ever get slightly possessive.
I can’t say who is the most complicated in general, but I know in my experience that women have been very transparent with their verbal and physical language. Whereas men? ugh. I stopped trying to understand them a long time ago 😂

Obviously women. Their mind is programmed to cheat more than guys & they feel little guilt after they cheat. Also they'll always whine and pity party like 4-5 years old kids. They see men as their walking wallet. If a man has no money, looks & status , they'll eliminate that guy automatically. Also they think with their emotions, not with their minds. That's why I stopped caring about girls.
complicated - definitely goes to women. their minds are emotional and fluctuate with hormones. Moody, bitchy, and happy all within 1 minute. :) Frustrated - ? that's a tossup
was gonna mention that. we can be moody, but I don't think most of us swing as much as women. yea? nay? Men are complicated because we "wall off" our emotions so can't figure themout. Women are complicated because their... just complicated... lol. I'm finding them more understandable now that I've spent years trying to understand them...
Men are more complicated and insecure, I will. not elaborate I said what I said. One day I will write a myTake about this, only then will I explain myself.
When it comes to love, I'd have to say women. Whether good or bad, a woman usually knows what she wants. Can't say the same for men. It's sad that the more functional men seem to be 30+.
Lets not hit the ball out the park until we can not find it but be a little reasonable here both male and female can be just as complicated as the other if the truth be told
Well, I will put it bluntly. I could go on a long rambling about it all but we all know porcupines can shoot them like darts. In and all to answer your question, you have men... and you have women. DONE! That deserves a mic drop.
well this argument will never end each gender will never understand the other gender so men will always say women... and women will always say men

There's so many layers to mens pride. Guys act like it's straight forward. Many guys may even think that it is. But guys do some pretty self destructive habits all without really knowing it to preserve their sense of masculinity and pride.
I'd say that because men are typically more shut out about what goes on inside our heads it ends up that we have more things that people don't know about
Mmm, that’s difficult @Onetwokfour , from my experience men’s emotions are either high or low whilst women’s can be at points in between. Mentally, I think both can have mental complexity.
The reason you can't figure them out is that you are so complicated that you think we are as complicated as you but you can't figure it out.
It's like this:
Imagine going to an art gallery and seeing a Mark Rothko painting like this painting 1950 painting "White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose)" :
Now, that painting is worth about $80,000,000, so it has to have all sorts of deep meaning - the kind of thing that art critics spend years dwelling on and arguing about coming up with explanations like "Rotho is expressing his inner despair." "No, he is expressing his displeasure with Soviet oppression."
You know what the painting is about? Nothing. It's a bunch of fuzzy colored rectangles.
With regard to men, women are like the art critics looking for something that isn't there. What is there with men? Fuzzy colored rectangles and that's it.
@abc3643 Ok I see your point here but you’re speaking for every man. I believe I’ve met some more complicated than this painting lol. What if in fact this artist did mean something by this painting and you’re just interpreting it a different way?
No, we are not complicated. We are like dogs. I could probably write a few MyTakes that would comprise "The Women's Manual For Owning And Operating Men". It would answer about 95% of all female-authored G@G questions about men.
You don't have to think of us as having the worth of dogs, but that is how we behave. This is why dogs are considered "Man's Best Friend". They are simple with simple desires and they go for it. Men may be conniving in achieving their objectives, but their objectives are simple always.
As a man, I can only take life, but never create it. There's no such thing as good Dads, either. All men are just pure crap, don't you agree? Not like women, each and every single woman is an angel straight from heaven. Male babies should just be lobotomized. Keep them for work, but no more thinkies. You don't need a brain to breed. The species will be much better off.
It’s a fact these types of psychopaths are all men. Doesn’t that make men as complicated as women? But guys want to feel some superiority so have to say it’s women who are too emotional & complicated, etc.
Women. Because of their mood swings and emotional rather than logical thinking. Men basically want one purpose in dating, serious or nonserious. There's no telling exactly what women want out of talking to men.
Honestly, I think we can be complicated to each other. So, maybe it’s kind of a 50/50 situation.

Women, its not even a competition. Men are much more straightforward, women say one thing, think another, and do the third. Their opinions and behaviors are a lot more based on their current emotions than on reason and logic

Women can get upset over the smallest issues. I have seen it. Guys are easy to read.
Its funny cause the answer seems to be our opposite gender

Women, guaranteed. Men aren't fake to one another. Men don't change like chameleons to suit who they are with at the moment. Men don't flip emotionally in seconds.
I think men, but that’s probably because I’m a woman.

Women are for sure. I just heard a pregnant woman just talk about how she can't believe how crazy she has been acting... and can't do anything about it.

Men: so dramatic, difficult to understand with no sense of logic, mood swings, immature attitudes, selfishness, superficial... I'm bi so I can compare both lol
I think this must be a troll. I love women but saying men have more mood swings/no sense of logic/superficial than women is way off the mark in my experience
@wilco999 Saying people are trolls cause they disagree with you is very mature... That's my experience and it isn't just mine when talking with girlfriends of mine. Even gay men agree guys are hard to follow with their mood swings lol
"Saying people are trolls cause they disagree with you is very mature." You know what isn't though? Saying blatantly sexist and stupid stuff suck as "Men: so dramatic, difficult to understand with no sense of logic, mood swings, immature attitudes, selfishness, superficial."- without anything to back ti up.
@Benedek38 "Backing it up" as you said would be very long. Beside I don't see comments containing many explanations and proves and it doesn't seem to bother you. You just don't like me saying guys are the most complicated ones. Period
""Backing it up" as you said would be very long." Well, that is the price you pay if you don't want to look like a moron. HINT: you can't back it up, there are scientific studies showing male brains work in a more analytical way, and men are more emotionally stable.
"Beside I don't see comments containing many explanations and proves and it doesn't seem to bother you." There aren't too many outragously sexist claims around here either. YOU made those claims. Back them up, or zip it!
"You just don't like me saying guys are the most complicated ones. Period " No, I don't like you saying "Men: so dramatic, difficult to understand with no sense of logic, mood swings, immature attitudes, selfishness, superficial.". Because that doesn't mean "more complicated", that's just saying "well, men suck". Which is sexist, which I don't allow on my comment section. So unless you can back up your claim, I will consider removing your comment entirely.
@Benedek38 But you don't mind the guys simply saying: "women" LMAO. Do whatever you need to feel better... I will survive your "raging deletion" very well
"It wasn't meant to be sexist, just a honest comparison." Honest comparison? How can you claim something is not rude when you call one sex illogical, senseless, immature, selfish, superficial and overly dramatic? Don't you think you are baised as fuck?
And find me say, 5 comments that are sexist and rude just like yours! I dare you!
