Who out there can understand why some guys don't listen?

Cause they are a bunch of little boys!

Guys mature more slowly than girls do.  It is possible for an irresponsible man to become responsible.  The only way to lead him is by example.  If you say too much to him, you'll be frustrated and he'll be resentful.

Some definately are and some no way they want to committ. Just depends on the guy.

Guys take that as you are not interested in them. It makes it hard to talk to you if you appear standoffish, and some might think you snobbish.

That is because the majority of them are out for one thing and if they don't get what they want, they move on.  Now I said majority!!  There are a number of men out there that are predictable and will be the man of your dreams!!

Some guys act exactly like that, some don't. \n\nIt's impossible to generalise.

Tiger: Don't listen to any of them, they are all wrong.\n\nThe real reason is because guys get rejected so much by the girls they ask out, that they can no longer tell if the girl they like isn't worth their time; i.e., if she'll just end up turning him down like all the rest of 'em, or if she'll actually say yes and give him a chance, unlike all those pipsqueak snobs.\n\nWhich is why, if you like him, you had better tell him now or he might get the impression that you think you are too good for him.

Not all guys are... Just the ones you know...

Guys are built differently than women...when a guy sees that something is wrong their first reaction is to try to "fix" whatever is wrong, when in reality sometimes all we are looking for is understanding or some comforting words. Try not to see it as a fault, it really isnt, us women are just more "emotionally intuned" than most men are.....I asked my father this same question many years ago, and he told me simply that most times guys really don't know what to say...like when we cry and they are just silent...it's because they dont know how to "fix" it...\n\nSo to answer your question, yes i believe it is common, and very normal : )

ALOT OF MEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT'S THE REASON WHY THEY ARE SO SHORT WITH US WHEN ASKED A QUESTION, BUT THEN ON THEE OTHER END YOU HAVE SOME MEN THAT JUST DON'T LIKE TO TALK REASON BEING I HAVE NO IDEA,,,, WOMEN LOVE TO TALK THAT'S WHAT WE DO, WE LOVE TO TALK AND WHEN WE TALK WE EXPECT FOR THEM TO LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND ,,,,,MEN HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH COMMUNICATION......

Most guys tend to think in terms of logic and act on instinct. Men are problem solvers by nature.

I would love to take this one on. ..\nWomen assume that men are capable of understanding subtle signals. Like when you were in junior high...Girls could just mouth words to other girls across the room and the other girl would understand. Guys would be right next to each other and would whisper like they were in a helicopter because that is the only way men could understand what the other was saying. Men don't pick up on women's signals. So when you get fed up with this and blow up at the guy or do something drastic, the guys think you have gone completely insane and didn't ever see it coming. Meanwhile, you have been sending several signals to foreshadow this action that the man has just overlooked.

Not all men are clueless. Some get it and know how to treat a woman with respect.

Guys (People) tend to tell you things they think you want to hear.. I believe usually in cases like you described he was only after one thing.. and when he didn't get it he lost interest or didn't think it was worth the effort.. in any case he's not worth the effort, be happy you don't hear from him anymore.

The truth is Like: Not every Girl or Guy think alike. But the Most Common reasoning for a Guy Is the Behavior of a Girl. If a Girl gives that extra bit of attention to a guy, You could be pushing him to imagine things that are'nt really there.\n   I'm not saying to ignore. But don't pay too much attention either.\n   Being a Guy: I Can read a Girls Mind, i Just Speak to find out. Though I would never mention it or Show a difference. \n   See another way to Make that difference would be(That's if u talk to him) try doing the opposite to what he says. See his reaction to find out if he's really after you or he just playing around. Here i would like the Question How Sure are you that he's interested in you or just has a passing phase crush on you?\n   I would end by saying,"Think what's right in your situation, and do it" coz "All of us have sometime or the other gone through the phase and in my case i have always done it without help". Though me being a guy. hope u like the Answer as its my 1st on Yahoo Answers!\n\nQ:-How can I make it clear that I just want to be friends without seeming stuck up?\nA:-If i were to make a point clear i would just be a bit shrude and say,"Hey guys you all are so sweet i hope u guy/s will present at my wedding" !\n\nIf u get the answer above through and maybe add,"Hey you guys are so sweet,I bet my boy friend would be very happy to meet you guys". Point Through and everything's Clear !\n\nThis is my 1st editing to my 1st answer on Yahoo! Answers! lol
