How true this is... I just can't win :(

[CynicalGuitarist]

If you kiss her,

you are not a gentleman

If you don't,

you are not a man

 

If you praise her,

she thinks you are lying

If you don't,

you are good for nothing

 

If you agree to all her likes,

you are a wimp

If you don't,

you are not understanding

 

If you visit her often,

she thinks you are boring

If you don't,

she accuses you of double-crossing

 

If you are well dressed,

she says you are a playboy

If you don't,

you are a dull boy

 

If you are jealous,

she says it's bad

If you don't,

she thinks you do not love her

 

If you attempt a romance,

she says you didn't respect her

If you don't,

she thinks you do not like her

 

If you are a minute late,

she complains it's hard to wait

If she is late,

she says that's a girl's way

 

If you visit another man,

you're not putting in "quality time"

If she is visited by another woman,

"oh it's natural, we are girls"

 

If you kiss her once in a while,

she professes you are cold

If you kiss her often,

she yells that you are taking advantage

 

 

If you fail to help her in crossing the street,

you lack ethics

If you do,

she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction

 

If you stare at another woman,

she accuses you of flirting

If she is stared by other men,

she says that they are just admiring

 

If you talk,

she wants you to listen

If you listen,

she wants you to talk

 

In short:

 

So simple, yet so complex

So weak, yet so powerful

So confusing, yet so desirable

So damning, yet so wonderful... ....WOMEN!

So straightforward, the minds of women...

So misunderstanding, the minds of men....

[CynicalGuitarist]

Actually, it was just the fact that women hate me and they are near-impossible to please.

[Sally00]

There should be one for men. I'm sure there is...

Men are complicated and don't know what they want... but not all of them. Just sayin'. Gotta stick up for the girls side too, you know.

[Amore]

One word I have to say to this: Balance.

 

Obviously any behavior that is too extreme in one direction is never going to get you the desired result.

 

You have the find the proper balance in a relationship, so that everyone is happy. That's the hardest part.

If you kiss her,

you are not a gentleman

 

WRONG! If a date is going well and the guy senses chemistry, he should attempt a kiss. If she doesn't want to, don't force it, but I've rarely had a girl reject a kiss after a good date.

 

If you don't,

you are not a man

 

Wrong. This is too black and white and maybe the situation was too awkward. I do encourage guys to make the attempt but if you were unable to find a time you felt comfortable then it doesn't mean you're not a man.

 

If you praise her,

she thinks you are lying

 

Possible, or she could also be fishing for more praises.

 

If you don't,

you are good for nothing

 

WRONG! A girl who claims this about a guy who isn't complimenting her all of the time is selfish and childish. A man should compliment his significant other but not everyday all day. If that happens it cheapens it.

 

If you agree to all her likes,

you are a wimp

 

True. A guy should never be a "yes man".

 

If you don't,

you are not understanding

 

WRONG! Who in the world behaves like this?

 

If you visit her often,

she thinks you are boring

 

Wrong. It's not as simple as that. You can visit a lot if you are still interesting, fun, and challenging. It also depends on her as well.

 

If you don't,

she accuses you of double-crossing

 

Talk about jumping to conclusions... Why do you think she would do this? If a girl does this then dump her. No one needs an insecure partner.

 

If you are well dressed,

she says you are a playboy

 

* * *?

 

If you don't,

you are a dull boy

 

Most people do want their partner to care about their appearance. This is normal. I don't know about "dull" but someone who grooms themselves is nice.

 

If you are jealous,

she says it's bad

 

Jealousy is bad.

 

If you don't,

she thinks you do not love her

 

No "she" doesn't. Some girls may think that way but the good ones don't. If a girl is behaving in this manner launch her. She's being manipulative and being a drama queen.

 

If you attempt a romance,

she says you didn't respect her

 

Way wrong. Attempting a romance is fine. PUSHING for it is showing your lack of respect. If you didn't push and a girl gives you this response then it's likely an excuse for not liking you.

 

If you don't,

she thinks you do not like her

 

She may think that or may simply grow tired of your passivity. She's probably looking for a man and not a boy.

 

If you are a minute late,

she complains it's hard to wait

 

One minute late... who cares about one minute. If she does she needs to chill. Now if you are consistantly late my a larger margin, she has every right to complain.

 

If she is late,

she says that's a girl's way

 

If she pulls a double standard, don't put up with this.

 

If you visit another man,

you're not putting in "quality time"

 

Everything in moderation. If she won't let you see your friends at all you need to work something out with her or end it. No one should tolerate a selfish partner.

 

If she is visited by another woman,

"oh it's natural, we are girls"

 

This is another vast generalization and a double standard. No one should put up with this and if it happens, end it. Too many guys stick with girls despite situations like this and it's the guys fault for encouraging this behavior by not doing something about it, and vice versa.

 

If you kiss her once in a while,

she professes you are cold

 

Okay this is getting silly.

 

If you kiss her often,

she yells that you are taking advantage

 

Is this really a problem that a lot of people are having?

 

If you fail to help her in crossing the street,

you lack ethics

 

It is polite to do so but not a requirement.

 

If you do,

she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction

 

This poem or whatever it is is beginning to get stupid...

 

If you stare at another woman,

she accuses you of flirting

 

Men and women both glance. That's not wrong. It's wrong to stare.

 

If she is stared by other men,

she says that they are just admiring

 

If a girl is this contradicting then I blame the guy for sticking around.

 

If you talk,

she wants you to listen

If you listen,

she wants you to talk

 

Is this about one particular woman because I don't know many girls who are this wacky.

 

In short:

 

So simple, yet so complex

So weak, yet so powerful

So confusing, yet so desirable

So damning, yet so wonderful... ....WOMEN!

I don't see the point of this poem.

[Dating Coach]

Actually, it was just the fact that women hate me and they are near-impossible to please.

 

This silly and I don't believe you are serious.

[Carnatic]

That's funny, but it's tongue in cheek. Yeah girl's are complex and difficult to understand but it's not quite that bad. Amore is right, it's about balance, women can seem to swing between extremes but if you can get that balance just right then all will be gravy.
