As I read this post and most of the others, it dawned on me-- you guys really don't understand us do you? The lens thru which we are viewed is quiet distorted, microscopic at times and reactionary. Just as women's lenses are about men. By the way, we nag b/c we feel discounted, unheard, ignored and disconnected from you: you in turn feel nagged upon and thereby withdraw and ignore us, so we become louder and more "bitchy." For the record, I don't nag, I say it once, say it twice in case the male brain was disengaged and then stop repeating myself and go into action (i.e., I don't play). Action speaks volumes.
By the way, did you know that in its resting stage, a man's brain is engaged at about 10%: a woman's at 70%. What this means is that men often are less aware and attentive to their environment. This inattentiveness often means not paying attention when the children are hanging from the tree or about to get run over in traffic or paying attention to their spouse/gf. Inattentiveness = being discounted, ignored, not valued or appreciated. And if you know anything about women, we want to be valued and appreciated: men want to be admired and looked up to. nuf said
Some of our views might be microspopic, but I must say mine is definately not. I've had so many girl-friends throughout my life that I've lost count. A small handful of them, I considered best friends.
Here is one of the biggest differences between men and women in the womens fault:
Men know they don't understand women and (stupidly) don't care or try to understand.
Women on the other hand have some insane idea that they understand men so well. That there is nothing going on in our heads (I'm not referring to active synapses).
Your example regarding men's brain activity is a double edged sword. Men might go blank and discount their women unintentionally, but I've also experienced many women who can't focus on what I'm saying to them because of the 70% CPU usage.
Also, Greg is trying to ask you out. Your mental prowess must be attractive to him and instead of making himself look like a complete fool amongst his buddies, he's trying to throw out the invitation subtly. Another option would be a PM, but that's kind of stalkerish IMO. <- I actually do that to people IRL.
