this is actually something that drives me nuts

my personality amplifies it, b/c i'm an extreme introvert who likes dark and quiet and to be able to focus and get lost in my head. i'm also a fan of consistency, planning, and having a sense of control over things (within reason)

most women i know MUST be "doing something", talking, and absolutely can't find a level of peace. it seems there always has to be conflict/drama AND they have to communicate that conflict/drama. hell a great deal of the time i have noticed they "multitask" and don't actually really get much done (because multitasking is effectively bullshite), but feel like they've done a ton

of course our female posters are "not like other girls" so they don't have THOSE problems (but, at the least, we all know they bitch about their female friends who do)

Man, talk about hitting the nail on the head! That is exactly correct. It's like they don't know how to function without drama/conflict.

This has been posted a lot on here -- I disagree with some of it as a guy can do his best and still get the short end of the stick based on some lame "we don't connect anymore" excuse. But, this part hits the nail on the head.

quote:

Item 6: Women, contrary to another urban legend, are shitbags too. They will have you convinced, if you talk to them enough, that they are the masters of reason and emotion. bullshite, fellas. They are contriving, maniacal masters of chaos and work feverishly against their own happiness sometimes. Nothing will disturb a woman so deeply to her core as true contentment. Some women shudder at the thought of a placid, pleasing life. It's a very rare thing, a woman at peace and comfortable with herself....so when you find one, say "I do" and keep her away from other women. Wanna see proof of this? Work along side alot of women. When one finds happiness, the others go about dismantling hers with ant-like industry. Nothing on earth is quite so destructive as women screwing with a happy one. It's a pretty safe bet that if your lady friends hang out with other girls, they will try (even unwittingly), to frick you up. Sorry girls, you know this one is true.

How to deal with women.

Oh, I agree with you. All I was saying is that both have some blame to take. And you are very right with what you posted. They sure don't want any other woman doing better than her. Contentment is a pipe dream to them.

the thing that i don't get is why. my gut says it's one of these polar situations:

1. the patriarchy has affected the collective psyche of women so much by injecting endless anxiety that they've been socialized to lack the ability to calm down

2. feminism has warped women's place in society so much that they are never comfortable in their own skin, causing endless anxiety in a society that has no idea how to deal with it (b/c men have become so feminized with a few alphas using women)

and these 2 can argue and flip the circle over and over and over, but it's one of the 2

Past year has SUCKED due to stuff regarding my family or fertility stuff.


I would honestly love to be able to tell others "I'm fine" and really mean it and not just say it cause I don't want to burden them with my shitstorm of a life.


So in light of all that....I could actually be happy just being happy.

But I know what you mean. When some of my friends complain about stupid mundane stuff I want to smack them and tell them to count their fricking blessings and shut the frick up.

it's not even about communicating things or these things necessarily being negative. it's just about "having to do stuff"

how many of your friends regularly start new projects/hobbies and then they are never completed b/c of new projects/hobbies?

how many of your friends keep wanting to redo things around the house?

or shopping for new clothes b/c their old clothes are boring?

I have a couple former coworkers like that.

Always chasing something they thought would make them happier. Never seemed truly content. One has 4 girls and has had a boob job and built a huge house and have gotten various different cars. Yet I never see her truly happy when I see her at work(she works in a different department but sometimes I run into her in the hospital).

I always assumed part of it was because both of them don't really believe in God.



ETA: Both of them married with kids.

kinda to the point of the OP. These women usually revolve all their hobbies around the circle of support and friends. What then happens is they some of the women fall from the group and the woman just goes out and finds a new set of friends to validate her bullshite.

I know this first hand and have seen the pattern over and over and over...if you have a woman that has a new friend and that friend gets a divorce. You better duck.. If that friend gets a new Lexus...you better get a checkbook out. New tits....yep, you guessed it.

Their friends become their hobbies..they are like each others real live dress up dolls.

That's sad imo.

I guess I'm just a loner. My hobbies are things that give me the alone time I thrive on. I used to be big on hiking(don't as much cause of PF in one foot). I honestly kinda hated when friends would want to go hiking with me. I would rather just go by myself. Go at my own pace. Listen to some music or an audiobook as I hike. Or just enjoy the silence.

I still enjoy spending time with my friends, don't get me wrong. But my time for hobbies is just for myself and I don't really like to share that.

Not all women are like what has been described here. Some do realize what is really important.

certainly.

I have found a golden rule. If the woman has lifelong friends, both guys and girls....she is a keeper. If a woman or man have transient friendships it reveals a character flaw

I've never understood the whole "staying together for the kids" aspect for keeping a marriage together. You think your kids want to see your crappy marriage??? If anything get a damn divorce for the kids.
