I believe it was Margaret Atwood who said “Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”

I also know it’s difficult for a lot of men to understand that vp because a lot of you all are all about the “noble death” — mostly, these days, metaphorically, but some of you in real time, like some of the guys in the service — and would prefer that to ridicule.

And so you’ll never really understand women’s fears about this, and so will tell them they’re being ridiculous (like you do in this article).

So okay, you think “So, she’s overreacting.” *eyeroll*

So let’s use a less drastic example. If you are a woman, and you’re getting ready to go on a date, and you find out, through whatever service or search engine, that the guy you’re about to go out with is a swindler, or another type of felon, or has horrible credit — his problems become yours if you don’t know this beforehand and marry, and trust me, I’ve seen that, and it’s not pretty — and your advice is that you’re not supposed to want to know about these things beforehand??

Ooookay.

A good friend of mine always remembers me to treat every situation that I get in with a person as a new situation. Even if it happens with the same person.

Let’s say I arrange a date with a woman. She says: I’ll let you know.
I have heard this many times already, and sure enough…I don’t hear anything from her.
I tend to go into autopilot and whenever I hear “I’ll let you know”, what I really hear is “No”. So therefore I do not trust that woman anymore with anything she says.
But everytime I try to treat the situation as a new one. If I arrange a date with a new woman and I hear I’ll let you know, I just wait for a response between now and our arranged date. I dont go calling in between asking her why I haven’t heard about her.

Oh, and the people who say to trust them and that they are trustworthy are to ones to look out for. Usually they are not.”A rich man does not need to tell you that he is rich”.

When I hear something like that when someone says trust them, or that they aren’t like other people, I usually think: Well, prove it then with your actions. Because actions speak louder than words.

I love the point about people who say “trust me”. Usually those are the people not to trust. Anyone who has to say it, seems as though they are trying to prove people wrong due to things they may have done in the past.:)

It just those two paragraph hit home for me, I am still thinking about it. I am thinking about printing it out, and put it on my wall!

I agree what David mentioned is really powerful, and self-growth never ends, the man that says that he knows it all, doesn’t really know much.

The more i know or learn, the less I know!

That, though, is what life is all about. Just when you think you got it right, you realize you need to figure it all out again. It never ends. Self-growth is a process that never ends until the day you die.”

I had to re-post these few paragraphs just love what you said!!!
