Life's Mysteries

[JSensei]

Men and women are interesting in how different we are. This leads to several things that just don't make much sense sometimes. This thread is to discuss life's mysteries and throw in your own. What about the other gender (or your own) just does. not. make. sense.

To get us started, here's one of mine:

Here's one I've ALWAYS wondered. Why do women get embarrassed about being seen in their underwear but have NO problems walking around in a bathing suit, which frequently is more revealing than their undies?

Here's one I saw from Kendra1980 and thought I'd post (I hope she doesn't' mind):

Isn't it funny they can speak passionately to random strangers about sports, cars, even food, but their emotions, they won't.

Can you explain why that is?

There you go. Two mysteries, one for each gender. Let's see your reasoning and what else you come up with.

I can't answer the mystery.. but I know that my panties are wayyyyyy more revealing than my bathing suit..

At least I know the best part is the matching thong.

 

[Aquagal]

Yes panties are tinier and way see through when wet.

But how ever would they have gotten wet? :roll eyes:

I have seen exceptions to both of these mysteries, and more than once.

I answered this one too. But just to save the trouble of relooking for it:
Men are trained as they grow to be of less emotion. Therefore, speaking about how they feel isn't natural for them.

Why do you think that is?

 

[Azuldrgon]

Why do you think that is?

We grew up in a generation when it was wrong for a man to have emotion. So we were treated as our fathers were. That's why we're not as prone to share our emotions.

This is for BOTH genders when courting one another you are each others world you will do anything and everything for that other person... yet when your willing to enter into marriage things change??

Things change because the objective is different. When you court or date, it's about attracting a mate. When you marry, you become as one, so it becomes about compromising.

Can't answer the underwear thing except that maybe it has something to do with inhibitions.
I don't think men are able to express their emotions in the same way we are. They are more focused on a solution and we are more focused on the process. I think men think an eruption of emotion does not resolve the problem. We want to talk and they just do it.

Ooh, good answer. I like that.

When I Was A Boy - Dar Williams

I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand
I said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check.
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
I lived a whole life in one night
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.

And I remember that night
When I'm leaving a late night with some friends
And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe,
someone should help me
I need to find a nice man to walk me home.

When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I don't know how I survived,
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.

And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.

I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw.
My neighbor come outside to say, "Get your shirt,"
I said "No way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law."

And now I'm in this clothing store, and the signs say less is more
More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat

When I was a boy, See that picture? That was me
Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
And I know things have gotta change,
They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in,
they've got implants to remove

But I am not forgetting...that I was a boy too

And like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I can keep
Except when I'm tired, 'cept when I'm being caught off guard
And I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way
To catching fire-flies out in the backyard.

And so I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
And I say, "Now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won"
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see

When I was a girl, my mom and I we always talked
And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.
And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do
And I have lost some kindness
But I was a girl too.
And you were just like me, and I was just like you"

But why the distinction?

Swimsuits are made differently. Their not meant to be see through.

Undergarments are more sheer, so they show more.

Depends on the garments.

 

[Azuldrgon]

Depends on the garments.

True....but then again undergarments were always intended to be worn underneath. Swimwear is meant to be worn solo.

I like this.

It changes because each become complacent. When each spouse sees and treats the other with the same respect, caring, and desire they did when dating, then it will stay a priority.

The familiar becomes boring so it is up to both in the marriage to make sure the other is not bored....this may require giving up selfish motives and putting the other first...always!

That would be nice to experience.
