why are women not as straight forward as men are...?

Women are taught to answer in a non-threatening indirect way from the time they are very little girls.  Little girls are told to "Be nice." So they learn not to take the chance of hurting feelings or offending someone.  Indirect communication is one of the best ways to do this.  \n\nAlso, women's minds make connections more easily than men's minds so what men may percieve as indirect may just mean that the woman is engaging in "web" thinking rather than the "linear" way in which most men think. \n\nTo help you understand what she's saying, it is a good idea to just ask questions.  Make them non-threatening.  A good example would be, "Can you tell me more about that." or "Help me understand that."

This may not be universal truth. However, history shows that women have been the biggest enemies of women! whether socially, financially or otherwise. So you can imagine that if one gender does not respect itself, what could be the consequences. I think women very well understand this yet....?!

I think women are more prone to senility.\n\n(Because men drive us crazy!)

personally. women of yesterday are greater than us now. they had more strict standards to live by and they probably had a lot more pressure and expectations from men.

That's not true. Women commit way faster than men

You're right. Women are stronger and they can keep secrets better. A woman's heart is an ocean of secrets.  I know this from personal experience.

Its always nice to be direct and to the point. Women like men who dont play games.. There is no need to be rude, thats just not right, but its nice to be direct and straight forward, dont play games, and tell women exactly what you feel, it might save a lot of problems later on. Women like men who tell them the truth.

You know, I think that its in the attitude. Its partically physical. I, as a female, am signifigantly smaller than most of my guy friends. I am better able to communicate, and manage small moter tasks. They are better at lifting large things. But, its also the sexual tension between the different sexes. \n\nThis may suprise you, but I think that as a woman, I am in a better position than most of my male friends. I can totally manipulate them, with just a request. "Will you walk me to my car?" Carries an implied message, "Come and walk with me, so I don't get raped" but also "Come and walk with me, since we're going the same way and I want to keep talking". I can also get away with hitting my guy friends without much consequence, and my chances of continuing higher education are much better.\nSo... the inequity between men and women? I think it comes down to education and intimidation. As a 5'4, less than 130 pound woman, I am much more intimidating than my 6'5 200 pound guy friend. It's all attitude.

It might start off that way, but feelings change and eventually one person will want more out of the relationship than the other.  From my experience, it's usually the women who think "maybe it'll be different with me".  Women tend to be more emotional and invest a lot more in these types of relationships than men do.  Men are much more able to stay "disconnected" until they're ready for a relationship.

Yes, absolutely. Men and women are different and together we amount to greater than the sum of its parts. When women try to do the things that men are better at and men try to do the things that women are better at, all of society opperates LESS efficiently, and everyone suffers, especially children. And since we all know that children are the future, society slowly decays as a result.

It's more acceptable for women cause it's more aestetically pleasing on them, but it's still a good question.  I for one think there are a lotta women out there who have forgotten what being feminine is all about.  They try to BE men to get ahead.  But what they don't understand is that they have different strengths as women, and should draw off of that.

Men do. They are the ones that have to make all the moves. Well some women except them too. Things may have changed for the younger people. In all men have it harder.

Actually women are more complex because they are more empathic.  They instinctively care about others and also care about how others think about them.  This kind of thinking allows the female to bond better with peers.  Men can simply block out this kind of thinking and turn it on and off at will.   I am not sure this is a positive traite or a negative one but its how we are.

Because they are less heavily built.  On average men are taller, burlier, more muscular and hav thicker bones.  Women do not need huge manly feet as they are smaller and thus do not need to balance as much weight.

Men are very visual people, way different from women. And unfortunately a lot of men don't take the time to find out what the inside of the women is all about.

Females are more emotional than men. And usually know what they want quicker than a man does.
