Gender Wars:Can women win? Part 4

The womans point of view:
 
pet peeves:
Men nag women. Men are clueless about sex. Men talk too much. Men don't groom enough. Men don't find 50-year-old women as attractive as 25-year-old women. Men don't pay attention. Men don't listen. Sometimes women just need to tell a story and men just want them to get to a point. Women don't want to be rushed along. They just need to talk just for the sake of talking and men don't want to hear it.

Women, men and sex:Let's begin with a few small details (and then work up to the glittering generalities). First: Men think women are morons; and women think men are idiots. 
The basic difference between men and women (besides just about everything) is that men want the things they can't have.They live for the things they can't have — remote controls large as coffee tables, Dodge Vipers, Maxim vixens, $3,800 titanium golf clubs. In fact, I think the only reason a man has a brain is to whip out his Palm Pilot and make lists of the stuff he doesn't have. On the other hand, women want to keep what they have. (That's the big difference and it causes a lot of fights.)

I think happiness in marriage all comes down to luck.You really have to be lucky. I know a million experts have been on the "Today" show telling us a zillion ways to get along with our spouses, but I'm telling you it's all luck — meeting the right person.

It's a miracle that any man and woman get together... ever.
Scientists at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge announced this year that human females have more in common with female chimpanzees than they do with human males. (We share 98.5 percent matching genomes with the chimps and only 98 percent with men.) Explains a lot, doesn't it? This means that a woman has a better chance of a beautiful friendship with Miss Chimpy Lips than she does with Orlando Bloom. Now we know why love affairs are so fraught with tension and why husbands and wives sometimes suffer the tortures of the dammed. We are very different species.

Luckily Mother Nature created love at first sight.She loaded us up with these crazy dopamine circuits which start firing when we see a chap we like and boom! Four months later we're snapped in the Vera Wang and marching down the aisle. But... (big but) Though Mother Nature wants to get us together, she is not interested in keeping us together. You and your beau may start out wildly enamored, then discover you possess so little in common it's a torment to stay together. This is not to say a man and a woman can't enjoy a world-shattering, unnamed, untamed ever-lasting love. I'm just saying this 98-percent thing makes it difficult.
