We all do post game analysis because we want to know what went wrong, but sometimes you realize the game was lost for so many reasons, it's hard to really isolate any one thing. And it's actually easier to lose for a thousand reasons than just one bad play, where you sit around wondering "what if" I hadn't made that one blunder. You guys weren't compatible because your values were different, your communication styles were different, your ambitions were different, and it sounds like you were a whole lot smarter than him.
But love is indiscriminate and you fell for Hotty McHotty and got a bit battered, but you're better for it now. — Hanover
Yeah, it looks like you guys had a major communication break down. That's frustrating even with people you remotely like, much more someone you really want to be with. — Hanover
Weird — Hanover
Why not hold a placard that says "The sky is blue" as well, considering you wish to inform the Israelis of the obvious. Oh, and thanks for the invite. I had to wash my hair that day anyway so couldn't have made it anyway. — Hanover
I don't want to divert too much, but I do believe the distinctions between men and women go beyond the simple anatomical. You sort of conceded it above where you asked for more understanding by men regarding how they treated women. Men and women are each screwy in the own weird ways, but I am so aware of the magical Spidey sense that women have, I often watch their reactions to see what I'm missing, much like you notice your dog when its ears perk up. — Hanover
There are a number of post-game regrets that I have, despite the entirety of the problem being caused by him. — TimeLine
I regret listening to others, because I know that despite his overwhelming flaws, we actually were compatible. — TimeLine
Hey Tiff, I think Timeline is talking about your rabbit thingy.Where is your imagination? Tools are sometimes required to achieve desired outcomes, no? — TimeLine
You are still wrong, sorry, I am not going to agree with you. Think about those women who are consistently abused by their partners and yet continue to 'love' them as they remain in the relationship despite being treated like dirt. — TimeLine
The data shows that lesbian relationships last the shortest. http://www.thehomoarchy.com/lesbian-realtionships-are-significantly-less-stable-then-anyone-elses-why/whereas gay women form long-term relationships ( — TimeLine
He bounced around with you, but where you were fighting, he was just along for the playful ride, maybe even smirking. Your intuition keeps telling you he didn't care about you, and that's why. You felt yourself struggling, crying, yearning and he just rode the roller coaster with his hands in the air enjoying the ride. — Hanover
I'm just saying that women's intuition is a thing. — Hanover
Hey Tiff, I think Timeline is talking about your rabbit thingy. — Hanover
Hey Tiff, I think Timeline is talking about your rabbit thingy. — Hanover
Is that the thing with the vacuum cleaner? — TimeLine
Hmm no but interesting idea! :lol: — ArguingWAristotleTiff
What exactly would be in the vacuum cleaner bag when you emptied it? — Hanover
Anyway, never again. Hold my hand? — TimeLine
Fair enough, but are you saying that men don't have intuition? — TimeLine
Oh and one of my God Son's is pursuing a degree in Fire Science and is working towards becoming a....wait for it.....a FIRE FIGHTER! — ArguingWAristotleTiff
Men's intuition is a mix of experience and rationality, but not just true intuition. It's something, but it's different...The difference, as you can see, is that the gentleman in our example could be convinced his conclusions were wrong because his intuition didn't offer him the certainty and clarity as did the young woman in our example. — Hanover
Rode one of my horses today and had a good workout. lol. — Lone Wolf
He better be careful not to catch fire. — Hanover
I accidentally deleted my post about pap smears and stallions. — TimeLine
I love that feeling when we reach a moment where what we both want is somehow aligned, like we're both thinking the same thing. Speed. — TimeLine
I love horses, especially riding fast because they are beasts, cars that are alive and that means a little less control from you and a bit of trust in them. It is so exhilarating. And your butt has a good workout :razz: — TimeLine
I mean, are you suggesting here that women are intuitive, or are you suggesting that men are dumb? Your story has no correlation, in my opinion, to intuition at all, it is about rationality or the lack thereof. There is also a balance of probability here. More men tend to cheat, you would have to be one hell of a stupid girl to not figure out that he is doing shit behind your back, from changes in his behaviour and responses to you. It is all rational, your ability to interpret others. — TimeLine
This is all to say that I am not arguing that intuition and rationality are diametrically opposed. If I were, then I would be saying women's intuition really is nothing more than women's irrationality. And if I said that, I'd have no one's hand to hold. — Hanover
You'll recall a prior post where I specifically stated I would prove men were stupider than women, so it should come as no surprise to you that I would remain on point. — Hanover
Next, stop attacking my story. It was a good story, nice plot line, developed characters, and, if you'd have asked instead of launching into attack mode, you'd have known the setting, a picturesque town in the wine region of France. A wonderful place, but for the French. — Hanover
But that's not what I'm arguing (at least I'm bright enough not to admit it here), but I'm saying the impulse precedes the rationality, and, while the impulse may be ultimately defensible rationally, it is not the basis. For that reason, when a woman says her judgment tells her X, all the rational defenses in the world hold no weight, not because the woman isn't rational (ahem, just clearing my throat), but because the intuition is immovable and rational defenses appear as lame excuses. — Hanover
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
