What would happen if one day men were finally able to understand women? Would it make significant differences in relationships? Would it scare the hell out of us guys? Would the ladies find new ways to keep us guessing?
This is an honest question although there is the humor aspect that hopefully will keep it lighthearted, interesting, and fun for everyone.

Blue…have you recently hit your head to even consider the possibility of THAT happening??? Silly, silly man!!
That would truly be the end of days.
What would be the fun in that?
I think part of the magic is not knowing, a little bit of awe is necessary.
What I’d like to know is when is modern science going to find a cure for a woman’s mouth?
Shit! Did I just say that out loud?
you catch Chuck at the end of a six day week, he’s not the same fun happy-go-lucky guy he was on Monday… enjoy your day off man ;)
@AstroChuck – you are so permanently in the dog house! ;) There is a female network…word will get back, when you least expect it, to your SO!
Lurve to AC and also to Cak’s frightening threat, above. LOL
Hey, ladies. That was a joke, BTW.
I’ll be cowering in the corner if anyone needs me.
Be careful what you wish for…..
Blue, I may be small, but I’m fierce!
Night everyone! Have fun!! :)
You can’t handle the truth!
@chyna, so funny! That’s the first thing I thought of when I read this question.
I was going to write a treatice about all the literature about this, and how the sexes really can understand each other, but I’ll spare you. My wife, for some reason, wants me to do the taxes. How romantic! Now, where did that come from?
You would produce the worst movie ever made, and it would star Mel Gibson.
@AstroChuck: Wouldn’t need a cure if the mouth in question were being used for more pleasurable pursuits – now would we?
Perhaps if you understood us, you’d get the more pleasurable pursuits more often. ;)
The day men were able to understand women?
You mean the toilet seat would stay down?
Huzzah!
men have understood the wheel, the chemical reaction of fire, the complexities of interstellar gravitational forces and have even had an estimated guess as to the origin of life. Yet, after over a million years of living next to women, we still don’t know whether “no” means “no”, or “yes” or “maybe” or “I have a headache”. The day we figure that one out will be the Sunday after we finish psychoanalysing God. Who, being just an old guy with a beard, is of course much easier to figure out.
I’m thinking it would really quite peaceful
I am very forthright and hold myself to high standards of honesty and personal accountability. While the men I have dated tell me how refreshing it is in the beginning, they ultimately seem intimidated by it, and some seem to prefer the “challenge of a conquest” over WYSIWYG.
I think we would find ways to confound them with something else. I really think that if we keep them guessing, there is always something new to find out about us. The other part of this is that men like to try to figure things out. Problem/puzzle solvers so to speak. lol The balance of their nature would really be turned upside down.
The biggest obstacle to men understanding women is the mistaken belief that women are impossible to understand.
It’s impossible to fully understand something that goes out of it’s way not to make any sense.
The problem is that women don’t just want us to understand them, they expect us to be able to read their minds.
@lynneblundell That is because I’m totally transparent and easy to understand… being just a simple bloke ;)
Women would never let that happen! Not in a million years as they are masters at the art of deception and confusion to maintain the upper hand on the marital battlefield and any perceived victory or compromise seen by any man is because they deliberately intended it to be so!!
I don’t believe that is true of any bloke or woman… none of us are simple
@Cruiser Now that’s not quite fair. Some of us are just really shy around guys we like. I currently like someone, but am too shy to ask him out for coffee/drinks, etc. I am not trying to be deceptive or confusing at all, but am trying to wrack my brains to think of ways to let him know that I’m interested. I hang around the building where I know he will be certain nights (we are both at the same campus) in the hopes of seeing him or getting to say hi. I talk to him when ever the opportunity arises, etc. I wish he could read my mind, so he would know that I’m interested, or, that I could read his, so I could know how he feels, thereby either putting me out of my misery or giving me the courage to act. Don’t assume that every woman is trying to keep a man guessing. Some of us just have no courage…
@yankeetooter I see your point and my point was directed at married women and not that it makes it any more valid….mostly tongue in cheek answer any way.
Life is too short to not ask that guy out or at least drop some obvious hints you are interested in him. Just say hi….and soon!
No worries @Cruiser! I wasn’t offended, just wanted to express my point of view. And, yeah, I’m working on that dropping hints thing…we’ve already spoken a number of times…
Would understanding women change our behavior somehow ?
Would we say “yes, dear” more, or less than before?
What makes you think we don’t understand you?
Oh, that whole acting like jerks thing? That has nothing to do with understanding you.
I think men do understand women and women understand men.
@wundayatta My husband (a penis bearing member of society) gets my passion for many things because he has the exact same passion. My best friend (another penis bearing member of society) feels exactly the same way about love and monogamy as I do. My father (who is now dead and we didn’t get along) felt exactly the same way I do about opening our home to anyone who needs it. I get why ALL of my students perform the gender that they do and try to differentiate themselves from each other even though on private surveys they answer in the same way about what’s most important to them. They’d never admit to it but I have proof men and women are MUCH less different than they think.
I think women don’t even understand women…at least on a personal level. I think women don’t completely understand themselves as individuals…and that it really takes someone listening to them actively to uncover who they (singular) are. The beauty of this situation is that both (woman in question and the listener) now have a shared discovery which means an even closer relationship, which, after all, is one thing which women really enjoy.
I am thinking (out loud), particulary, about positive listening with good motives.
The sisterhood does work in mysterious ways…
