Why are men the way they are?

[lfoxworth]

My sister has a chattered broken heart right now and I don't know what to do?  I've never seen her like this before.  All because of some man who's name is forbidden.  I just feel like strangling him for doing this to her.  I know it's going to take time for her to heal.  I try to help as much as I can.  Any time she calls I go running.  It's just not enough.  I wish their was more I can do.

Break-ups are always difficult.  Some people, in our case men, are very confusing because they say one thing, mean another or quite simply they don't know what they really want.  I have a long string of "break ups" some were very difficult to get through.  Now I have a good man with a good relationship.  I can't say it is perfect, no relationship is; all I can say is that he 'fits'.  Things will get better with time.

It isn't just men... I've had my share of break-ups too where the woman was the one to break-up with me. I remember in college my friend was dating a girl for quite awhile. Then suddenly one day she tells him that she want to break up, her reasoning being that he's just too nice (and here women complain that there aren't any nice guys around).  Break-ups are always hard, but in the long run it's usually for the better.

Your topic title "Why are Men the way they are?"......well, I think that is one question us women will never get an answer to. I have tried to understand men, and still today, I am trying to understand my husband.....I get so mad at him sometimes, but only God knows why I love him so much. I think mostly men have this ego that they can't let go of themselves. They feel the need to be in control of their situations at all times. I remember my mom telling me when I was little, if a man truly loves you, he will let you be in control sometimes......and.....will hold your purse for you...Lol.

I don't either gender will ever fully understand the other; our minds work differently based on our biological makeup. And I definitely don't believe we have a "control" thing. It's more of a "pride" thing. But I think women are the same way; neither gender really wants to have their pride offended.

They just are the way they are lol but if you understand them they are nice.

There are evil men out there just as there are evil women.  They, in my belief, are two completely different species and the possibility of finding a soul mate has a lottery's chance of occurring.  One to two percent of the people that I meet have achieved the goal of finding their perfect mate.  If it were easy we wouldn't enjoy it as much.  The differences that separate us also create the intrigue that brings us together.  Your sister may be drawn to a certain type of man...often times it is a father figure and will continue to seek that proto-type...just as a person is drawn to the same type of sunglasses.

have to admit, we do tend to fall for the "bad boy" syndrome.  but, the thing is, as we get older (the smart ones of us anyway)..learn that the bad boys are just that..BOYS.  we grow up and realize that a "nice guy" is what is really wanted and needed!
