Can we ever really understand the opposite sex?

it's not that difficult. you just have to be open minded and listen. and you also have to be empathetic, they're not that different from you. we're all ppl, so there really isn't that much difference. i find it very easy to understand girls, except sometimes you don't always know where you stand with them

 

It's no different for either gender, either can be just as secretive and hard to read as the other.

 

I don't think the question is "can we understand the opposite sex", but moreso "can we understand the human beings keeping us company in this reality?"

I think in some manner of speaking, gender does play a huge role in understanding but only physical. As far as mental situations go, I personally find I understand girls way more than my own gender. However, only to a certain extent. When it comes down to it, I don't think I understand anybody at all because I am me and they are them and therefore, not sharing the same thoughts, we can't FULLY understand each other.

 

Can we really ever understand another person?

 

That's..basically what I JUST said. ._.;

 

And i repeated it =D

 

I know how you feel CtR, I became really good friends with this boy and I began to think he fancied me so I asked him out and it turns out he didn't so I had to make up some story as to why I did it and not feel stupid. I do find it impossible but thats me, some people might have the ability to do that.

 

Um, guys? I think this thread should be closed considering Catch the Rain has already got her question answered.
