Sexes split over one night stands<\/a><\/h3>\n

Many women are left unhappy in the aftermath of casual sexual encounters, a survey has revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank God for an article like this,<\/a> I’ll finally get to say something I’ve come to realize – that I could never bring up out of the blue.<\/p>\n

While the article obviously focuses on one-night-stands,<\/em> I personally have noticed something significant and worthy of mention as far as heterosexual relationships go. I encompasses most of (if not all) relationship issues a woman may experience – that even the more complex\/controversial issues, like in the article, are merely subsets.<\/p>\n

I tried synthesizing different opinions\/perspectives of various women I’ve had deep conversations with regarding relationship issues they were having. I would probably say this would be a great follow up to a post I wrote 3 years ago,<\/a> which a friend of mine reminded me of because of its “accuracy” (she was a woman by the way so shut up)<\/p>\n

Before I proceed, I feel compelled to remind everyone that while there may be exceptions, we all<\/strong> know most<\/em> issues, or at least issues being blown out of proportion, are almost always the woman’s doing. If you’re a woman and disagree, feel free to drop me a line and counter this claim. But before going off your handle, at least try to hear why I think this is the case.<\/p>\n\n

People may claim varying complexities and exceptions in their relationships to justify all sorts of arguments. And I’m not here to disabuse them as there are and will be special cases. But for the most part, if if you really distill most of these issues to the basic facts, the basic situations, etc., it boils down to just this:<\/p>\n

Women see the glass as half-empty.<\/strong>\nMen see the glass as half-full.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Don’t worry, I’m going to qualify and substantiate that claim in a while – so you won’t really get a chance to say I’m making a thoughtless, sweeping statement.<\/p>\n

Preamble<\/h1>\n

As I said, I’ve already posted in the past<\/a> some thoughts about the fundamental differences in women and men and why I think that women have a serious disadvantage which they really bring upon themselves. I don’t want to antagonize anyone early on in this post so just consider that statement as an observation.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting to note that very little, if anything at all, has changed since that post. Almost everything I’ve said there still applies, and is constantly vindicated,<\/strong> no matter how many more “special” situations my friends (both male and female, and even I myself) have experienced over time. I’m still not claiming this to be absolute; the reason for which you’ll see at the end, but in our culture, it’s pretty much 99.9% accurate.<\/p>\n

I’ve rationalized\/sythesized the hell out of the different issues\/situations\/stories\/experiences from me and my friends. And just for kicks, I’ll even justify the need<\/em> to rationalize. 1 <\/sup><\/a>Because I just know the last bastion of women would be to claim rationalization being incompatible with relationships (which are largely based on emotions) <\/span><\/span>
