Man Theory #1

This is so obvious that some of you might turn red with embarrassment just reading it... I know I did when I finally figured it out. Men are born with the ability to communicate in only two emotions - happy and angry. Tada! I've solved half of your communication problems. :)

Just kidding. But seriously, don't think for a second that your guy doesn't have feelings besides happy or angry just because he doesn't communicate any other way.

Recently a friend of mine... ahem... had an argument with her boyfriend because he is often snappy and angry with her. I asked him where the hell he gets off being so rude to my friend, of course, and he replied, through tears, that he is only angry with himself for snapping at her, and that he doesn't want to lose her.

This was my reply: Go home, cry about it, find an emotion somewhere between happy and angry and learn to communicate that way. Often times men are feeling somewhere in between, but rather than fake happiness they resort to the angry undertone. Why, you ask? Because they were born that way and now they need training. It's biology at work, my friends. These days we expect more than a caveman as a partner. We have evolved into multi-tasking, hard-working, bread-winning, analytically thinking women, and there's no reason we shouldn't expect the other half of the population to evolve with us.

Just an insight.
