Men are stupid and women are crazy

[Rockport]

So what’s the key to ying and yang relationaships? I’m too old to deal with the drama. In my experience, you don’t get the drama until it’s too late. What are some red flags from both men and women’s perspectives?

If she says she doesn't drink, but he met her in a bar, she's crazy.........If he marries her anyway, he's stupid. But I've always known that about my brother.

Relationship threads....right....

All women are crazy!! You just have to find which level of crazy you want to deal with.

(I'm just kidding ladies. Please don't write me a Dear SlammedZero message)

Not sure why any man would get married due to the huge financial risk..but hey, whatever

 

[John813]

Both sides are wired funny. What's normal to you may be crazy to her and vice versa.

But one red flag that stood out to me where when any issue they ever had it wasn't their fault.
Goes for both sexes.

My wife and I are total opposites. I was a hell raiser, womanizer and drinker. My wife was an honor student, shy, never went out, took care of her family, including 11 younger brothers and sisters, and she doesn't drink. Somehow we fell in love within minutes. I proposed 2 months after we met. She said yes and saved my life. We haven't had a real argument in 29 years.
We were introduced by a mutual friend, if you're wondering.
Life is weird sometimes. I feel God sent her to me.

All men engaged to be married should pretend to lose their job and see what happens.

I'm guessing she doesn't speak English?

BTW Rocky, I don't know if it was just a typo, but it's "yin and yang"... if it matters to you.

I would have said understood English.

I think the key is for each to be able to compromise. Love isn't enough. We all have our preferences on how things are dealt with and you have to learn to give-and-take in how those things are handled. What is show stopper, what is something you're willing to change for her, what is something she's willing to change for you?

An example for me is that she knows I'm watching every Cowboys game. I'll let her know when the game is going to be and she knows every honey-do, errand, dinner date, etc has to be scheduled around that Cowboys game and she accepts that. Likewise, I know she's going to get her nails and eye brows done every 2 weeks.

I know I have to put my clothes right side out and in the laundry basket so she doesn't have to flip them while doing laundry or she's gonna get pissed. She knows she needs to put her damn mail out of site because I don't want to see opened envelopes on the counter top.

I know I can't take her to eat at Olive Garden, under any circumstance. She knows I won't ever eat a Papa John's pizza.

I pick up the dog crap in the yard and she cleans the kitty litter.

Compromise.

You raised a very interesting point. I have often wondered if that is why my wife left because I'm off work due a disability, she less than after I went off...

I understand your point, but then you go from not trusting her to her not being able to trust you.

My wife made more money than me the first few years of our marriage. I tripled her a few years in when I started investing in real estate and became a head coach. She passed the test.

You just can't win. There's got to be a way to figure out in advance if she's the type who will bail at the first sign of trouble or if she's a stand-by-your-man type. Really important to know somehow.

She sounds like a keeper.

It's a matter of whether you feel she's worth a potential beating.

I don't follow you. Do you mean if it would be worth getting in a fight over her?
