Women dress up to please their selves. Men dress up to impress women.
-
Women are sweet; men are thoughtful. The former begets the latter, but not vice versa.
-
When women get depressed, it affects their whole life. Men can be depressed about one thing at a time, e.g., work but not wife or vice versa.
- Men desire to deal with people of better quality of character, but they won’t change themselves to match it. Women will.
-
They define problems differently. Relationship maintenance concerns her. Harmony in the home concerns him.
-
Deprived of attention and time by spouse’s personal outlets (e.g., golf or physical conditioning) or job obligations, women tend to become depressed and mope around, while men tend to become angry and take some action. She more likely than him sees his absences as necessary or as investment in their future.
-
Men complain without explaining; they don’t worry much about being misunderstood. Women explain to make a complaint; they try harder to avoid misunderstanding.
-
Boys mature with experience. Girls do too, except that maturity in handling men comes from successfully denying sex while under great pressure in relationships.

Your Preciousness Kathy,
I liked the article. With young ladies like her speaking up, there’s some hope on campus.

Sir Guy,
you wrote, “men dress to impress women.” i have a question.
what if he doesn’t? some background: he comes from a small town where no one cares for clothes. i am talking 1 jacket, 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants and ugly pointy shoes in the 5 months he’s been here! *sigh* as long as it’s clean and neat, he thinks it’s fine. but he is in a big city now! and people are judged based on how they look.
is there a way of telling him he needs a new wardrobe without offending him? i’ve tried the indirect approach. he’s completely oblivious! he recognises good taste in clothes and compliments me when i look good but he can’t see how it applies to himself.
a good wardrobe is within his means. i know for a fact based on what he does for a living. he is definitely a Mr Good Enough. but the clothes! the clothes!
thanks in advance,
Your Highness Gonemaverick,
The man seems to have good strong character that you don’t appreciate. Or at least you prefer fashion over character. You may not be GoodEnough for him. You’d best rethink your values and judge him for worth as producer/provider/protector/problem solver rather than fashionable appearance. When you put attractive appearance first, you’re thinking like a man and that’s not good for the guy or your future.
