I think the genders are equally complex, however it is not surprising that we tend to think that the opposite gender is confusing/complex simply because guys and girls do not think the same way. And now I'm going to completely contradict what I just said by stating that I tend to find other girls more complex/confusing than guys but that's probably because I only really hang out with guys.
I think that girls are way more complicated. Think of it: if girls are having an argument it can go on for ages. But when boys are having an argument they just punch each other in the face and it is over. Boys don't really hold a grudge against someone else.
Oh, and girls are more jealous: i once a a clip on youtube where a girl got kissed on the cheek by Justin Bieber. He walks away, and the girl got punched in the face by another girl XD
Boys would just say: you lucky bastard (if it was a famous girl, not justin Bieber of course)
Oh i'm a boy BTW

Oh, I hope not. The only "tough choice" in that case would whether or not to post in the thread anyway and complain/laugh over its exclusion. I mean, "political correctness" is already fairly meaningless anyway, but defining it as "having some impression of the world beyond common stereotypes" is going a little far.Agayek said:
This isn't even an "equality" thing. Who exactly would be the superior in this sentiment, the complex or simplistic?
Your theory is lady-confirmed. I just don't get you men.awesomeClaw said:
I find female behavior a bit strange at times too, of course. The instinctive need for cattiness and drama that so characterizes some females has passed me over entirely. But I'm a bit strange, to be honest.
Really, I think both genders are equally complicated, if one could view it from a completely objective standpoint (which...er... is obviously rather difficult).
Culturally, yes I believe so.
Our western society, at least, is perpetuating the stereotype of the complicated female and is pretty much imprinted it on girls already from a very young age that girls are part of some sort of byzantine social ruleset that men could never and should never understand completely.
I believe its solely a product of our society though, if we stripped all that shit away the levels of complexity would be equal.

Would probably go on a more case by case basis, and in the end, I would say its even.
But I will say that women arent nearly as complex or interesting as the media (and sometimes themselves) like to make them out to be, while comparing the man as simplistic. I've known more deep and complex men then I have women in my life, but thats just me.
They're just complex in different ways.

Do you mean that we don't open up as much, or that we appear deeper than we are so it is hard to think on such an emotionally shallow level (relatively speaking), or do we just seem to react differently in terms of our emotions than women do? Seriously, your post has made all these little unlit lightbulbs appear in my head, and I hate unlit lightbulbs.BabyRaptor said:
EDIT: I'd say we are equally complex, but whereas men are complex in a kind of internalised, private way, women just spread their complexity out all over the place, so they appear more complicated, but that's just because they let it show.
The idea that women are more complex than men is as outdated as the idea that a woman's place is in the kitchen or that women don't think about sex at all. Stereotypes, nothing more.Vern5 said:
Why is it so hard to understand the other sex? Well, for most people it's hard to look at things from a viewpoint other than their own so when someone is behaving differently than they are, they see it as a deviation from the norm (meaning, their own behavior). The less they are willing to see past themselves and what they see as reasonable and logical, the more complicated these deviations seem to them.
I hope that it makes sense.
Love it. Is she overdubbing Zavala's original harmonies there? Sounds great.Donnyp said:
Funny, Zavala lists Bjork as his biggest inspiration as a vocalist, and when on occasion they do a cover it's usually Patti Smith or the Sugarcubes. The first time i heard the band, i thought the singer was a girl. Though I should say that I was ___ (thanks for the new rules, mods).
I wasn't low
See, the way I see it is that women really are more complicated; that is, there is a great deal more complexity to the way they view relationships between people. The way us dudes see the world is grounded in much simpler ideas than the way women do. Therefore, men are simple and women are complicated.awesomeClaw said:
That is not to say that either sex is easy for the other to understand. Men don't "get" the complex way women think, just like it's very difficult for women to think in the straightforward manner that we do. Men don't understand women because our minds are compartmentalized, and can't wrap our heads around the idea of someone for whom everything in life is intertwined.
Men are less complex than women, and that is why it's hard to figure each other out. In gaming parlance, women don't "get" men for the same reason the PS3 isn't backwards compatible: their hardware is too intricate for our software (I probably just made some comp-sci geek cry with that last sentence, but you know what I mean).
