Men and women are different - why can't we just accept it?
Everyone who's been in a long-term relationship knows how men and women are different not only in body but also in spirit.

As a male, I don't understand what makes women tick and I am totally at ease with it. Yeah, I do get in fights with my wife over stuff that I often don't understand even after she explains her reasons for gettting mad, but I just accept that. That's the way she feels about it and who am I to deny her subjective experience?

My wife also hears me out and goes a long way to accommodate my differences even when she doesn't comprehend them.

That's one reason why we've been married for almost 20 years now. Accepting that we're different even when it doesn't make sense to us.

There is, however, one difference that I don't really understand. Many, but not all, men accept that women are different and sometimes incomprehensible and leave it at that without making a right/wrong judgement. We'll just do stuff the way she wants, because that's the way she feels and neither of us can prove logically if it's right or wrong. Many women, however, can't let it go. Even if they give in to their man, they keep talking with their friends as if there's something objectively wrong in the way the man is thinking/acting. There's a hint of supermacist thinking: as if women can objectively say that the male way of thinking is wrong even though they can't define 'the wrong' in a logical way. I've heard many of my female friends talking with their friends this way, especially when it comes to issues of raising a child.

Re: Men and women are different - why can't we just accept it?
I have to agree that women "can't let it go" however I am sure there is a reason behind it.

If I don't let something go it is because something is wrong.
I guess I could just let it play out.

Actually I am dealing with this myself right now. My BF causes me to fear him when I need to talk about something. Last time I wanted to talk about something dumb he shut down and we did not talk for a month.

Ok we are different I can accept that. Tell me then how should I deal with the differences?

Re: Men and women are different - why can't we just accept it?
We are different, but equal in value. We have our own traits, and need each other to bounce off.

Men tend to be linear in thought, and are better with detailed, long term tasks that require attention to detail.
Women are more laterally minded, and are good at managing a number of tasks. In a nutshell, I'll explain further if anyone wants.

But, we all need to belt up, stop being fannies, start working together and quit battling.

That's definitely (logically) wrong and not what I was referring to. I was talking about a situation in which, for instance, the parents disagree on whether or not their child should have a cellphone with her all the time and be required to answer any calls from home. There are pros and cons to either approach and no way to objectively say that one approach is better than the other one. Since there's no correct solution, I'd probably agree to what my wife would say. However, if the roles were reversed, my wife would spend time with her friends fretting over how she "had to" cave in and how I'm definitely wrong.

And yes, sometimes differences can be too big to accept. If your BF scares you and he won't hear you out and talk about it, it doesn't sound good for your future together. All good relationships are based on listening, talking and compromise to smooth out the effect of differences.

"We'll just do stuff the way she wants, because that's the way she feels and neither of us can prove logically if it's right or wrong. "

Classic beta behavior, you will do things over and over for cupcake reciprocating for the golden pussy but she'll never be actually happy, and you're totally oblivious to it. This is Briffault's law:

"Past benefit provided by the male does not provide for continued or future association."
"Any agreement where the male provides a current benefit in return for a promise of future association is null and void as soon as the male has provided the benefit (see corollary 1)"

As a man you're seen as nothing more than a utility that can be removed or replaced with the support of her friends anytime she decides. Only the mentally defective or total asleep man would dare wife up a modern cupcake.

Oh well, if being "beta" is what it takes to be happily married for almost 20 years, I'm glad to be one. For me, marriage is about compromise on both sides. I give in some, she gives in some, and we work it out. And saying that women never do their share of compromising in a relationship is just misogynistic bs. However, if you find yourself in a relationship where you can play out your alpha-role and your wife/gf does not feel oppressed, good for you both. Just don't try to say that it's the only kind of a good/correct/godly relationship, because it isn't.

Is she posting on another thread that she's happily married because she's got a wonderful beta male who does anything for her pussy without question, or she always just lets you speak for her happiness level?

Perhaps you'll stay in beta utopia with one cupcake, but this kind of thinking is dangerous and comes with guaranteed risk for men. With this irrational belief, more men are served divorce daily or fleeced by the courts. Good luck OP, but what you described are hints to why men should avoid marriage completely.
