[QUOTE="Arravis, post: 308856, member: 327"] I've been living with my girlfriend for two years now, so I am talking with a bit of experience. I think it's naive to think that women do not have some behaviors and tendencies that are common among women as a whole. The same thing with guys. If you think that everyone is an individual and not all affected by their hormones, physiology and genes, I recommend you take a look at a biology book. Men and women are inherently different, there are many similarities but there are many differences as well. In my opinion, if you think you understand women or anyone else for that fact, you are lying to yourself. It's hard enough if not nearly impossible to understand our own selves, much less someone else. Every person, man or woman, is an individual. But every person is also influenced by their biology. Women are influenced in ways different from men. I, to a slight extend, understand how biology influences my own behavior and emotions, but I honestly have no real clue nor can have a clue, how a woman feels in reaction to her biology. There's no real point of reference to make a comparison with. Any allusions I make to understanding are merely supperficial and nothing more. I can understand to a slight extend... but if you analyze it carefully you'll see that if quickly falls apart and that's it based on inherently biased (male for me) assumptions. As an old dead greek guy once said, the one thing I know above all, is that I don't know. [/QUOTE]
