Having already established that men are basically lazy and entirely predictable, Iwas surprised to receive numerous e-mail queries from female readers of my blog.Apparently women are still trying to decode what they characterize as a mystifyingrange of behaviors among the men in their lives, and surprisingly; women arelosing sleep over this.As North American women seem bent on treating their male woes as an epicquest for “the perfect relationship”, I was struck by the fact that many of thequestions seemed to revolve around trying to understand why men can’t be more likewomen. Surely to God a man can simply open up and be honest about his hopes,dreams and aspirations, right? Why can’t he convey his emotional underpinnings andfinally disclose what’s going on in his heart of hearts rather than his gonads?Ladies, this isn’t rocket science. If you want to understand the reasons why menoften remain aloof when it comes to relationships, it’s not that difficult. Mostof your questions can be answered with five simple words: because we don’t thinkabout relationships.Believe it or not, men spend more time each day thinking about the best routehome from work at rush-hour than they do contemplating the nature of theirrelationship with women. For what reason you ask? Because that’s where the fridgeand television are located and you just happen to be one of the amenities in ourcave, that’s why. In short, it’s all about food, entertainment and sex -- that’swhat real men crave. The sooner you accept this genetic truth about men, theeasier your life will become. What’s that you ask? He was never like this when youwere dating? Why did he suddenly change?Ahhh the “c” word. He changed so much after I had sex with him. He changedonce we got married. He changed once we had kids. Everyone say it with meaningnow… change.The sad truth, ladies, is that men don’t change. We’re incapable of it. Sure wemanifested behaviors when we were dating you that no longer exist, but you have tounderstand that it had nothing to do with you personally and everything to do withacquiring you. Actually, it’s all about acquisition: whether it’s a new wide-screen TV, a motor home or a promotion at work, men alter their behaviors toacquire the things they don’t yet possess. It’s what motivates us. The primaryreason we’re not the same guy you met at the Starbucks in the mall is because wealready have you, and we’ve moved onto something else we want to obtain: it mightbe a bigger house, a higher income or a new car. Still not sure? Here are thequestions I’ve received. The answers are in italics -- glean away ladies. Dear Starbuck MacIntyre, I have a crush on my co-worker. He's really the drive behind out sales departmentand he’s unbelievably competitive to the point of being obnoxious if we don’t meetour targets. This bugs me because he’s not my boss, he’s just a co-worker and hemakes me feel like he’s my boss. It’s starting to impact how I am performing andsometimes I think he wants me to fail, as if he is trying to prove a point. At thesame time, he is really hot. I mean he dresses to kill, he’s got a sexy voice thatmakes me melt whenever I hear him making a deal on the phone and I’ll admit it: Imade a pass at him at lunch the other day. Now here’s my problem. I gave him aclear indication that I was interested and I totally flirted with him. He flirtedback and there was a definite air of sexual anticipation between us. Actually it’stwo questions. Am I wrong to be attracted to him and should I ask him out?

Vanish90: Are you quite certain you are, in fact, male?

im not lazy. i am in touch with my emotions, but not overly sensative crying my eyes out like women, i just understand myself. that thing about taking the best route home is totally wrong :| - besides, thats a stressful situation, what else should you be thinking about at that moment? i dont crave being lazy, i crave self improvement. things always change after marrige. i change constantly - Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. - Chinese Proverb. i do not crave material posessions nor money. i only glanced at this article before realising if i were to read on my IQ would probably drop a few dozen points so i stopped. i hope nobody reads this utter filth and misinformation. some men may have problems, but women have their fair share of fuckheads too you know? what a steriotypical/pessimistic opinion from a naive incompetent woman...

I sit back sometimes and wonder why my partner never hasnothing to say to me. the only thing he wants to all the is come home watch Tv and eat, but he never has nothing to say to me. I have trouble talking to him because he never listen to me. I can't never tell him whats on my mind at times because I feel like he's not listening to me. what can I do aout that situatiuon and to really get him to understand where I'm coming from.sometims I have so much stuff on my mind to ask tell him but can't find the right words to say to him. I want to know what can I do about that problem,and how can I find a better way to talk yo him and tell him whats on my mind.

Why are some men so unpredictable.One of the questions I have to really ask,is why don't some men take the time out to really get to know the woman he is interested in. I want to know what drives a man away from a woman and why. what I really want to know is why do some men cheat on their mate when they aleady got what they want at home. I feel that some men are more interested in their friends than they are in the woman thats with them, why is that? sometimes I sit back and think about my life with the man I'm with, and I want to know what to do to keep the spark in my relationship going at all times.

Edie - if you're a hottie patottie, the LOTR T-shirt guy is scared shitless to ask you out, plain and simple. Sadly, you'll need to make the first move.... Starbuck MacIntyre
