This

I've lost count of the number of times Mrs. T has looked at me and said something to the effect of "you have this thoughtful look on your face.....what's wrong?"

And my mind is literally a complete blank. shite, sometimes I'll make up something just so she doesn't think I'm evading the question


This is fact. I love it after a particularly nasty argument and I have this blank face on me and my wife is like "What you thinking about so hard over there?" I was just thinking about what kind of sandwich I want from Wendy's. (It's usually Spicy chicken so I don't think that hard into it)

My wife is a chatterbox, talking in this continuous stream of conciousness that just rambles on. I've learned that to her, this is comfortable and makes her feel closer to me. I've also learned that I can tune most of it out.

Now, I let her ramble, and if she really needs me to listen, I've trained her to tell me "Tyger, I really need your input on this part". After we go through what ever it is, she goes back to chattering, I go back to what ever I was doing.

Now, I've also found that there are times where we will turn off the TV, put on some music, and just sit and talk for a while. This my friends, is like catnip to women. An hour of sharing is verbal forepaly. It almost always leads to sexy time for me.

It may sound disfunctional, but it works for us.

Yeah, I think the more reasonable ones don't care that we're totally attentive. At least once or twice per evening I make her repeat some story so I can actually pay attention to respond, but she accepts that.

I could tell my last girlfriend every single thing I was thinking. She could repeat what I had just said and it was 180 degrees different.


Fk i'm glad I never got married.

It fascinates me that women assume men are in deep thought when they are likely contemplating navel fuzz.


in my experience, when i think men are in deep thought, they are thinking (in no particular order) they are hungry, horny, tired, or wish i would stop stressing out about something.

When a woman is in a committed relationship with a guy, they express most every thought. The ones they keep to themselves are often signs that thy do not fully trust their so. So when their so does not express his feelings, she assumes that it means he doesn't trust her with them or he has feelings he doesn't want her to know about. For women "love" is all about trust. So if you don't trust her, how can you be "in love" with her. If you claim that you love her but won't trust her with your feelings, you're a lier in her mind. A lier can't he trusted, so she can't love you and will start cheating on you because you're probably already cheating because he's a dirty lier!!!

They might also be thinking about sports.

Women are insecure on a level that exceeds anything a man can understand. They want to drag a guy to their level of insecurity to make them feel equal in this area and to share the suffering. Men that are capable of being drug anywhere close to a woman's level of insecurity end up being gay.

Men have insecurities too, but no where close to women. A man in deep thought about one of his insecurities can quickly disregard the issue if he flips the channel and runs across a Three Stooges rerun.

I just want to know wtf a lier is. The rest of this shite you guys can keep. My ex-wifes ridiculous views on communication are half the reason I divorced her crazy arse.

Exactly!

Also, I've had this conversation with my gf. I don't talk much, but the topic of the differences between the sexes gets me going. I let her know early on that my brain is 90 or nothing. If I'm zoned out, I've made it clear ahead of time that there's just the sound of the wind between my ears up there. That's my brain recharging, and worrying about my silence isn't healthy for anybody. She finally understands.

Me to. I never thought I would admit it but I know why it bothers women. But usually it is good.

I'm pretty sure mine suspects I'm not paying attention. She doesn't call me out, or at least I didn't notice when she does. I think she just likes to talk.
