q1605 agony aunt Of all the misconceptions,half truths, generalities and out right lies that men get saddled with, this stereo type and this one alone renews my faith that if there is a war between the sexes and someone is keeping score, we've run it up so high you guys will never recover. When presented with compelling evidence against whatever stand you may be taking, instead of actually admitting that you might be WRONG you make a mad dash to redefine everything to fit your mind set. How many guys have showered you with roses called every morning and night just to hang on your very words and to hear your Marilyn Monroe voice. And wants you to meet his family. And get to know his dog. And if he hears you have a flat it's not enough to have it fixed,he would buy you a new car. And what do you do. Yes you. All of you. Whilst you work overtime withholding sex, you do manage to sleep with his best friend. If he shows unannounced at your favorite watering hole do you embrace him and offer to buy the first round. No you whack him with your umbrella and kick at his frantic arms wrapped around your ankles while he clutches the new poems he's written just for you. And you say thats not love thats pathetic. And i say it's semantics. The guy is so into you that you need a chisel to pound him off. But the dumb bastard could never confuse this with love. To be demonstrably in love with a woman gives us double humiliation. We gather the womens scorn, look like a fool all over town and don't even get the credit for having true love for another. So keeping this in mind along with the fact that you will never see guys sitting around in their pajamas all gathered in a show of solidarity for the fallen one drinking shooters and holding one another whilst we cry and get in touch with our masculine side can you really fucking blame us for not showing out true feelings

Collaroy agony auntHi,

I've met some girls in my time who I would say treat relationships very lightly . So it is a gross generalisation, you are probably just meeting the wrong type of men.

A reader, anonymous, writes (3 March 2008):

These are generalizations:

Women think with both sides of their brain, simultaneously. That's why they're known for their ability to multifunction. That's why they have emotions for everything, and better memories ... since memories are rooted in emotion.

Males think with one side of the brain or the other. That's why they're known for their ability to mentally focus. Their field of vision is narrower, too, which is why they cannot find their socks in the sock drawer. Think of their brains as a bunch of little compartments. One of those might be labeled "relationship with Mary". It has nothing to do with the compartment that says "marriage to Jane". Every function of the brain does not have an emotion attached, so they don't have the same deep memory banks that women do.

This is not to say that there are not men that are more emotional with incredible memories or women that don't have fabulous spatial skills and the ability to find their way out of the forest without a compass.

But, generally speaking, men's emotions have their own little compartment and are not attached to everything that goes on in their brains.
