Why are girls so moody???

Ahh, it seems like wherever I go I am surrounded by them . . .
(don't give me "it's that time of month again" BS, seriously I want to know why they get to riled up over stuff I consider trivial)

Why are guys so apathetic???

Because they're women.

No man that has ever lived knows the answer to this question. Trying to find out why only leads to more problems.

Because they're all tired of dealing with moody, immature guys who, when confronted with a pissed off female, assume that she has PMS. Not that you have here, but it is the standard assumption :rolleyes:

I have found after extensive interaction with the human race, that males are just as moody and irrational as females and females are just as sullen and uncommunicative as males. It's just expressed differently.

:)
I'm not moody. I'm happy so often (almost all the time) that it irritates some of my friends. But my boyfriend is sometimes moody. He is the one with pms in our household. :D

Have you ever considered the possibility that maybe they become "moody" when they are around you, I don't mean to be disrespectful but you should take that into consideration.

As a girl myself, I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone, or I'll get kicked out of the sorority.

*leans in and whispers*
Girls are moody because guys are jerks

The best thing for you to do to get away from the moodiness is become a woman. But be prepared for the backstabbings that'll leave you open for, as a girl.

Stereotypes are fun ^.^

You make us look like jerks by never letting us know what you really want.
We, the boys, need to know what you feel, what you want, but girls thinks that if they show their feelings it would hurt them or something.
Personally, I don't think I'm like the typical guy.
I have some characteristics of a girl, I am very emotional but I can never guess what someone else wants.

Bollocks. Guys are jerks because girls are moody and girls are moody because guys are jerks.

People can't communicate on any logical standing because everyone assumes that THEY are the normal one, and so everyone else must think and feel the way they do. We should just develop a polite way of saying "I don't know what the fuck your problem is, and I don't give a toss, so bugger off".

You know, because you can't say it in that form to friends/significant others.

Personally, I'm not moody as much as I am insane.

cos they have cooties :D
and there not really that moody now are they?

Actually, it's mostly illusion. Except under certain circumstances (generally involving hormone shifts, etc), women aren't really that much more subject to "moodiness" than guys are.

But what triggers it in men and women tend to be differant, and men tend to be not very good at figuring out the cause in women. Mostly because women have a tendancy to be abit more complex than guys.

To use a stereotypical example, let's say your girlfriend spends a couple hours getting ready to see you - hair, makeup, etc. Apon getting together, your response is less than what she expected. You talk for abit, maybe say something like "nice dress!", but nothing like what she was expecting to get as a result of her efforts. As a result, you eventually notice she's seeming depressed/angry for, apparently, no reason.

Other, less common, example: let's say you really hate some famous artist/philospher/musican/whatever, and happen to mention this in conversation. Let's say, as people commonly do when discussing things they don't like, you compare his works to garbage, feces, whatever, and openly wonder why so many morons like it. Thing is, she happens to think he's the greatest thing since fire, and finds his works deeply inspiring. She gets depressed/angry/hurt while you sit there wondering what just happend. To her, you are basicly insulting her by saying that she, at the very least, has no taste, and at worst is a moron for liking his work. (not a tremendously common example, but relatively easy to explain)

It may help to think of it this way: Dealing with men is a science. Dealing with women is an art.

You know, as a woman I've always been an opponent of PMS. I'd say crap like, "it's all in your head." But lately I've noticed a pattern, shall we say, in my own experience. It's biochemical. Pure and simple. We can't help it. However, this only works as a legitimate excuse for 3-7 days per month. Period.
Pardon the pun. Didn't mean to gross out any of you boys.

Your example girl sounds like a pain in the arse. The hypothetical guy should get himself a girl that isn't as shallow and insecure. I mean, hell, I'm the poster-girl for being insecure but... wigging out because a guy doesn't slather you with compliments? The hell?

sorry not convinced still cooties

sorry not convinced still cooties

*touches Nort*

Cooties! Run!

...

and now, back to the adult conversation...

:p :D

<sigh> The idea was to give very simple easy-to-understand examples. They were meant only to display that things a relatively typical guy considers irrelevant, or fails to even notice, may well be very relevant to the girl in question. Even an extreme example is better than no example, and they are pretty straighforward.

For their intended purpose, they were better than other ones that popped into my head. They may have been abit more common, but also would have taken more explaining that I really cared to get into.

As to "wigging out" I think you're interpreting her reaction as being stronger than I intended to imply it as being. I simply meant that she was feeling disapointed because she put a lot of effort into it, and he didn't seem to care. He picked up on her reaction, but not the cause.

Cooties! Run!

What is Cooties, is it lice or something?

Most women are moody simply becuase they don't have me bringing rays of sunshine into their lives :)

Well, fair enough. You get a cookie for effort. Your example was actually fairly good... I'm just feeling argumentative. And I *hate* girls who get dressed up specifically to get some reaction from one person... it just... annoys me on some very basic level. Makes me want to slap them (can go for guys too, but guys seem to be much less guilty of this particular crime. Or, at least, the guys I know are).

yay! a cookie!

I can understand your reaction. In my view, it depends on the internal motivation. If it's done as a special treat for your significant other, as opposed to doing it just to get attention, then I'd say it's ok. It's similar to the differance between giving a gift so that the person will do something for you, and giving a gift just because it's tuesday. '

Course, determining which is which isn't always very easy - and in real life, it's often a mixture of the two reasons. <shrug>

Somebody said,

Emotions are like buscuits.

Guys are like Wafers.. We compartmentalize our emotions.
Girls are like crackers.... self explanatory.

Good analysis! The examples left something to be desired, however. Heh!

Guys, after all these years I finally figured out what most women want ...

They want a man who is willing to make the effort to discover what it is they want without being told, and to knock himself out trying to provide that for them. They may not even know what it is they want themselves, but it's the fact that the guy is willing to make the effort that's important; he many never be able to provide what it is they want, the important thing is he cares enough about them to take his best shot at it.

Crap, Eutrusca is here now. And he actually know the answers about women. No more joking aobut women being crazy...:)
