I was perusing the Advice forum and reading through Scott Pilgrim again so I guess that's where this question is coming from... Oh right, poll time, people.
Are girls more complicated than boys? Do girls have more complex patterns of thought and more complicated emotional reactions than boys? Are boys truly simplistic creatures or is this idea of girls being more emotionally complicated stem from the inability of one sex to fully understand the other? Perhaps this idea of complex girls is more of a social construction than a physical attribution?
Anyway, the poll is all set up. If you post, make sure to include your gender.
My response is too qualified for the poll.
And why, OP, didn't you chime in? What are your thoughts?
I do think that women are, at least emotionally, more complex
overall than men. But not nearly as much as they would have us believe. Women love to be a mystery. They love the concept of the g-spot as an enigma, of their consciousness as an unanswerable question.
This is Omar a Rodriguez-Lopez.
Stay with me on this one.
He's the lead guitarist for the noise-rock/prog/psychedelic/latin/big rock/post-punk outfit The Mars Volta. He also composes every line of music except for the vocal melodies. With the band and on his own, he usually puts out over a half a dozen albums a year, of some of the richest, most complex, compelling, powerful music I've ever heard. He has said that he feels despair as soon as he's done recording and mixing a song or an album, because for him the process of creation is what inspires him.
This is Kate Gosselin.
And she is horrible.
Her three biggest accomplishments in life have been genetic fortune, being the umpteenth older woman to listen to her tasteless hairdresser and try to look more "youthful" by wearing a simulacrum of a post-punk haircut, and not being as terrible as her ex-husband.
Of course, we could compare Karen O to Howie Mandel and that would be no contest, either. The point is not to rag on women, but rather to point out that women are most definitely not always more complex than men.
