why is it that...

This one gets me too. In all, yes I said all, homosexual couples I have been around, there has always been an obvious "male" dominant role in one of them and female in the other.

To answer the original thread question. Because only another woman can know what a woman is thinking. Which is what we men get told we should know in the first place. Hence the common comeback; "If you were a woman you would understand".

Beyond the romantic, a man provides other, perhaps even more crucial elements to the sociological equation...

Security, stability, structure and nest for the females's future offspring.

A woman generally wants and needs these in a big way, regardless of whether she is able to vocalize the same in a ten second sound bite.

Because shes unstable and thinks if her man will listen then she can save on shrink bills?

Having heard a more than a few women describe what they want from their husbands, they often expect that a man will be able to react like her lady friends (listen, talk, sympathize). Most of the modern women do not seem to realize the guys are not girls. We as a rule tune out after 5 minutes of hearing the same thing for the 75th time. We expect that if asked whether something looks good, the word "fine" will be sufficient to convey our approval, we do not gush. There are many other examples, but they are too many to name.

True, men have to work at being attentive to a woman's need to converse beyond a five min summation.

On it's face that may appear problematic, but it's because we are wired different and are more focused on bringing other (as I pointed to in the previous post) equally important elements into the relationship.

The difference provides God's intended balance for a healthy environment.

Indeed.

With men we desire to seek and find a solution.

With women finding a solution often isn't as important as talking about it.

In life men seek to accomplish an end. Women enjoy the journey. That is why men go in a store... get what they want... and leave. Women shop for hours (as a general statement) and hate to see the end come.

Why is it that.....

When I was a kid, sodas cost about a quarter and were dispensed at about eye level in a soda machine. In my 30's, sodas were dispensed in about the mid part of the machine, and costs about 75 cents. Now in my 50's, I find that sodas cost over a dollar and are dispensed at the very bottom of the machine! By the time I am 65, I predict sodas will cost 3.00 or more, and will be dispensed from under the machine!

Cars are getting lower, making it almost impossible to get out of them and trucks are getting higher, making it nearly impossible to get into them.

The description of my ideal man wouldn't describe another woman at all.
