What I've learned about men and marriage

[Clodfobble]

But when will women learn that when a they tell a guy about their problem that 99% of men want to put on their Superman costume and leap into problem solving mode.

Probably around the same time that men learn that when a woman tells him about her problems that 99% of the women don't want him to put on the spandex just yet.

I believe this was the point that jinx was originally making, that simply asking "when will women learn" is a tad hypocritical since it assumes women are on the inherently "wrong" side, that they must be the only ones to change.

For the record, I tend to be a more masculine woman in this regard, and often don't get along with certain women for that exact reason godwulf was complaining about, that they tend to whine about problems that could easily be solved if they'd just get up and do it. But, I also don't get along with certain men because they tend to over-exuberantly butt into situations that are not their problem, and in addition to the unwelcome intrusion, they often do not in fact solve the problem but rather make it much worse.

Both sides are wrong, and both sides should get used to always being wrong--and then they're ready for marriage.
