Psychology often uses "lesser animals" in the study of behavior. We first seek to understand the basic workings of the mind and later complicate the matter by assuming we're far beyond them. In fact, we behave much more like rats than we often think, so there is not much of a difference.
Where man is concerned, intelligence is minimal in behavior. Rational thought, much like logical thought, is an arrogant presumption. We assume we think rationally, but are guided much more by instinct and emotions than pure logic or rationale.
Now as far as the balance, that would be easy if not for the fact that most of the times, girls aren't exactly sure what they want. Men are animals; Women are complex creatures of amazing and perplexing qualities. How is man to know when to be chivalrous and when to let the girl chase us? The same attack could be interpreted different ways depending on how the woman is feeling at the moment. Men have to try and decipher when it’s the right moment to say the right thing and when we should just let an issue slide. That's where most of us fail, we suck at it. How often do you see men walking after women asking "what did I say wrong?”
lol... i find that if you REALLY paid attention, you'd know what you can get away with and what you can't. besides, I'm not saying you should necessarily be an asshole (though some people cant help it... and if you are its not meant to be). I'm just saying not to let her do wahtever she pleases with you... set your own terms and make some decisions sometimes, thats all.
... and then theres the simple fact that not every couple dating is meant for each other... there will be differences. its a fact of life. deal with it. embrace it. fear it. lol
Yeah, regardless of how much one pays attention, girls always have a way of surprising even the most detail oriented man. They blame this sometimes on PMS, mood swings, etc. but ultimately, it's just a way of keeping guys on their toes. The fact that we got away with something at one point doesn't mean the girl hasn't changed all the rules without informing you. Girls generally want to get away with things sometimes, and an assertive guy at other times, but we'll be damned if we could figure out the precise moments they want each. That's not even mentioning the appropriate versus innappropriate times its ok to "joke" with a girl.
