I have been dating this girl for almost a year now and she keeps claiming that I don't understand her and that I can't read her...
Now tell me how I can do those two things right IF she keeps changing the rules on me?

I have no girlfriend, but I can tell you this much. Give up trying to understand her. Just go bang your head on a wall, it's a lot less painful.

(My profuse apologies to Slayer. I COULD NOT PASS THIS UP!)
But you can't even understand or read ENGLISH. What makes you think you can handle WOMEN?!
>>>Now tell me how I can do those two things right IF she keeps changing the rules on me? <<<
You can't. It is impossible for any man to understand any woman to any meaningful extent. Give up.

I'd tell ya to just place yourself in a coma and get it over with, but I figure she'll say you're doing that wrong too.

You'd better hope she is not able to read or comprehend English, Karagin...by using my incredible powers of deduction, I forsee a lot of yelling if she ever sees this thread
There *ARE* rules for dealing with women. Ettiquette and Protocol are excellent crutches to fall back on, and they have the added bonus of making the female you're using it on feel special and think that you are anachronistic and oddly charming. Hey, it works for me...

Don't try to understand women Karagin. I tried to apply logic to a woman once and it nearly killed me. It took me a month to recover physically from the mental strain. I never quite recovered my senses though.

I am sort of reminded of Jack Nicholson's line in that movie with Helen Hunt, when he is asked how he writes women so well. He says 'I think of a man, then I remove reason and accountability.'. Hehehe...
Seriously, though...At Uni, in my science course, males are out numbered about 10:1. So it's a bad idea to antagonise them.

Wow! I wish I had that problem. At my school, at least in the department of engineering the ratio is reversed. It's more like 10:1 or probably closer 15:1 boys to girls. Makes it hard to meet women.

Women have a greater natural aptitude for Science than men, and they are smarter than us. Lots smarter. I tested at IQ 148 and most of the women I know at Uni make me feel stupid.
On the other hand, men have a better natural aptitude for Math than women. You have chosen the wrong field, my friend

In reply to:

There it is.
Men and Women can understand each other.
But- you are so young, you don't get it yet. It's like learning another language, which is probably something you haven't managed to pack in to your action packed 20 whole years of life.
Don't think I am picking on you just cause of your age, it also has to do with the attitude that you know everything.
Talk to us in ten years... By then you will have learned (I hope anyway) that you can understand women, they just aren't as easy to understand as men.

Actually, you are. If I was fifty and had the same attitude and opinion, you'd respect it.
But because I'm 20, you assume I'm both inexperienced and arrogant. Typical.

Actually, he's right...men and women can understand each other...but both parties have to make an effort to understand and be understood...and that very rarely happens. And I think both sides are equally at fault in most cases :-\

Hardly. I'd think you were an opinionated old fart, who knows nothing of women.
>But because I'm 20, you assume I'm both inexperienced and arrogant. Typical.
No- I KNOW you're arrogant. :P
I also can tell you are inexperienced by your reply.
>>>Men and Women can understand each other. <<<
>You're a victim of a delusion that one develops with advanced age...:)
Touche.
I'm not that much older than you- but I do know when to lip off, and when not to. Some folks have enough experience to know one thing. Others have enough experience to know far more.
THAT is what I was pointing out. Now if you were just screwing around, that is one thing.
If not- well I wish you luck in a life soon to be filled with embittered romances.

Gentlemen,
I have been married to my beautiful wife for 11 and a half years now. There are only two things that you need to know to understand women.
And no man has any idea what either of them are! :-)
