Are Women Impossible to Please?

Wellllll, yes and no. If I wanted to be completely scientific or mathematical I would have to say yes. There is the possibility that women can be pleased. Now, whether or not that possibility is very large or is actually a probability is another story all together. I would have to say that for most men it is pretty nigh unto impossible to please a woman. It takes dedication, determination, an ability to be in tune with what is going on in that woman's mind, and an overall sensitivity to what makes her happy; and let's face it, most guys are none of the above. This is definitely a flaw in the male make up, but it's there so deal with it. Men are definitely not the caretakers in any relationship. Remember, God said that man needed a helper, not woman. Now before all you huge male ego maniacs come after me just bare with me a moment. The way I see it, men have a drive to make sure their wife, family, whatever is taken care of. For most men I know this is actually a pretty strong drive in their lives and it pushes them to work and make sure they are the provider in a given situation. Women play a different role. They take care of the men in their lives. They are supposed to be there to help men, whether that be giving them support, helping them stay organized, encouraging them in whatever it is they are doing, or just telling them how much they mean to you and how glad you are that they are around. Women need to feel protected and secure and men can offer that. Men need to feel good about themselves and feel like they are important and women can offer that. The trouble starts when women expect men to be more than what they are and men fail to recognize they needs women have. Are women impossible to please? Not always, but they do tend to have the habit of being very demanding and accepting nothing less than perfection from their man. Men make this worse by not paying attention to the warning signs that something is up and then not even trying to do anything about it. A woman who complains that her man didn't do exactly what she wanted is pathetic and inexcusable, but a man who doesn't even try to please his woman is just as pathetic. So, I guess you could say that women can be pleased but it takes some doing on both men and women's parts to do so.

LOL! Ahah, under a completely scientific and mathematical calculation you agree that women are impossible to please! Can I ask you a question? Just for laughs - What if a man were as impossible to please as a woman? I can only think of British and French Kings who fit into this non-existent category.

You wrote, "Are women impossible to please? Not always, but they do tend to have the habit of being very demanding and accepting nothing less than perfection from their man." Maybe a CEO is as demanding and perfectionistic a woman and thus impossible to please. But I still imagine what kind of man would this would be?

Personally, I think women are impossible to please (sometimes) because they keep silent about their high expectations that men must somehow mind read or get a clue on from her behaviour. Once that expectation is not met - whether it is taking out the trash or remembering a gift on their 28th anniversary it is the doghouse for the man and there will be no end to his toil@!! lol

On the contrary! Men can be impossible to please; at least in my experience. "You look too fat, you feel too boney, you are too moody, you are too serious, you never let me do anything." These are all complaints men commonly make to women. Sometimes it leaves the woman womdering if there is anything she can do right or if she will ever be able to please a man. So, it goes both ways. As for making men do their penance, I must say that women definitely are the champions in that department. It is true that all too often we hold men's wrong doings against them for far too long. Men are much more forgiving in that respect.

I think a fundamental difference between the demands of men and woman has to do with how each percieves love. A woman wants and demands to be loved in a very specific way. While a man doesn't demand or want to be loved in a specific way. I don't think this means that men are heathens and easily pleased with food sex and beer (er, wait a minute?! I think I AM easily pleased!) J/K. But it is in interesting dichotomy and one that could make for great Ph.d level research project. I wonder if any books have been written on this odd discrepency between the sexes.

Would a man still be a man if he wanted to be loved in a specific way? And where does this need for woman to be loved come from? Aren't women bundles of love already? Don't women glow with a radiance of love and affection? Aren't women already women because they are in absolutely incredible female bodies? Are they not a source of love that overfloweth? Where then does the need to be loved come from? When there is a lack of love why does a woman not choose to love herself as she is?

Perhaps there is something highly unique that exists in a woman and not in a man that needs and desires the touch of love.

There is no perhaps about it. It is most assuredly there. In thinking about it, perhaps it is unique to women in that respect, but men still have to be loved; they just don't feel it the same way women do.

I think the fundamental difference between a man and a woman is that a woman knows she will recieve an utterly nice and sincere "thank you," from the God or the universe the day she dies, whereas a man will ______________________ a woman __________.
