What women want

My friend YatKah posted this on FB:

And it got me thinking...

This must have been written by a guy...

Because it is so true.


I have spent the past 10 years studying women (I'm not kidding. I even minored in gender studies and wanted to major in it had there been that option), but after all my extensive field research, I find I'm still left with a tabula rasa (i.e. the book above).

I still don't understand a thing about women.





Women are like quantum mechanics; You are not supposed to understand quantum mechanics. And i don't mean it's difficult to understand- the fundamental rules of quantum mechanics, like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, dictate that we do not know and cannot know what is really going on on the quantum level. If we do understand, it's not quantum mechanics.

Let me quote S. Weinberg, the nobel laureate who asked his friend about a promising student of Physics who had dropped out of the course:

I asked Candelas what had interfered with the ex-student's research. 

Candelas shook his head sadly and said, 

"He tried to understand quantum mechanics."

Some things are not meant to be understood.


But that does not mean that we as men have not learnt anything...

Here was my reply to YatKah's post on the book "Everything Men Know About Women":

And it was not only her who agreed.

Women will always be an enigma. But that is fine because both men and women struggle to understand them - and it's not men's fault alone (even though most guys don't realise that).


_-_-_


Now is the opposite true for men?

Well someone attempted to play the same joke but now it was directed towards understanding men.

My first thought was that this book was written by a woman.

It is so false.


But it was actually written by a guy... which leaves me little to say in his defense after he shot himself in the foot and told the world what he thinks all men think about, though it's probably only him.

Come on, the moment I saw the title of this book I had so many thoughts to fill this book with!

I probably need to prove this to female readers. Fine, here's what the book will really have on the inside if it was true:

There you go. The guys will get it.


Guys like to break stuff down, literally and figuratively. They love big explosions and the cannons that cause them. They pride themselves in being able to understand things that are too complex for most women to bother trying, and are often excited by mechanical details and techniques.


Ah, but for as long as men pride themselves in being able to understand the most complex of systems, women will always be able to humble them by reminding men that they never have, and never will understand women. Never mind the fact that women don't understand themselves. Thus life is fair.



PS: I have shown you that men think of a lot more than sex most of the time, but i think i need to highlight a circumstantial exception: I'm sorry to say this... but men become perfect reflections of the blank book (What All Men Think About Other Than Sex) in the presence of a provocatively dressed girl. It's not easy for men to think about anything else in her stimulating presence. On that note, ladies, please be kind to men and dress up nicely and decently, especially if you want them to be thinking nice thoughts.
