I can play guitar and I’m a whiz with computer programmes. I can walk and walk and not drop. If you were to teach me pretty much anything, I can learn it in a snap.
What I’m trying to say is that I’m reasonably smart. Certainly bright enough to tell the difference between my arse and my elbow. But still – there’s one thing I can’t understand. One thing that’s totally beyond my ability. One thing I can’t get my head around.
Know what that is? C’mon – have a guess. It’s something that’s pretty much everywhere in this world. You see them all over the shop. No way to escape them, even if you hiked up to the top of the highest peaks.
Got it?
Okay – I’ll tell you. It’s women.
I mean, what is it about these creatures that makes them so wonderful and yet so maddeningly frustrating at the same time?
Just when I think I’m winning on any particular day … I don’t know – everything seems to flip upside-down and the roof falls, plop, on my head. From a great height. Hard!
I’m totally baffled as to what to do on an hourly basis. Help!
So, if you know where there’s a User Manual for Women – have mercy on me – please let me have a copy! It’d sure be worth a pretty penny to me.
Any advice you can give would also be most welcome.

I’ll trade you a draft of how to handle a woman-child-spiritual being if you have the answer to why men find such a person repellant and what that person should do to make themselves more marketable …

Men are worse. Men are weird, strange creatures who make no sense at all.

Imagine being stuck in the middle of a quagmire – muddy and confused. That’s what it feels like to be a bloke.

I would suggest that you do the opposite of anything you think is a good idea in dealing with the women in your life… and that would be a good start š and if you haven’t, you should check out Meghan tregellis on WP. A mutual friend.

Now actually, that sounds like the best advice I’ve had for a long time, Dee. It seems that I’ve been arse-about-face for the longest time! And yes – Meg is a wonderful person – I need to talk to her for sure.
I’ve been away – missed me? š

I did miss you, Robert! We women are a terribly confusing lot, I know. I think men have mostly a few basic needs that are easily met, so you expect us to be the same. My biggest problem early on in relationships was to expect the guy to know what I wanted and needed from him and that if he cared enough I shouldn’t have to ask. Now I try to spell things out very clearly. No surprises that way, good or bad! A friend of mine buys her own gifts, wraps them, is pleased when she opens them, everyone is happy š

Ah, Dee – you sure you don’t want to clone yourself and send a copy to England! Write a book about this – or at least a blog post – you make so much sense. š

I guess there’s a book called 101 ways to understand women! Try that if you can read blank pages. Cause it’s totally blank š

I walked past a couple of girls yesterday on the way home from work and they were talking about spending the evening just laying naked on the bed. I look at around at them, but they just smiled as if it were perfectly normal to say that. But yes – short shorts and crop tops are a good combo too. Just came back from Germany via Switzerland and Italy and what you describe is pretty much the uniform in all those places for the young ladies. š

I really don’t think being naked all the time is a really good idea š its a little odd. What do you think?

Well, under the right circumstances it’s got to be okay – like in private. But no – not walking down the street or anything like that! *shocked face*

Definitely a shocked face. I went to Greece 2 years back and people were liked totally naked there. I was big enough to understand that but it was a horrible experience.
