Just being fine
-
Now this is true - there is nothing more dangerous than when a woman says 'fine'. It's short for 'if you don't know what's wrong, I won't tell you'. Hello ? If it's not important enough to tell me, then why should I care about it ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Because if you don't know what you have done wrong then you are just another selfish bastard who is not in touch with his woman... :rolleyes: I think it is to do with the whole "seeking engagement" issue that Jack Knife touched on. Sometimes women get frustrated with our lack of emotion and use desperate measures to force us into engaging them. Your TV needs to be wider than their hips to be able to totally ignore a women when she is in that mood... ;)

I have spent many a glorious few weeks on the waters of Lake Kariba, rod in one hand, beer in the other, sun over head and just relaxing. There are no computers around so no chance to code. Fishing requires the right company and in-going attitude though. Otherwise it is crap. Christian Graus wrote: How do you mean ? Sometimes I would get home and literally I am fine. Not superb, not unhappy, just fine. No need to talk much or figure something out or anything... just totally fine. But, and this is not just my girlfriend, "I am fine" is not a satisfactory answer to "How are you" and neither is "Fine thanks and yours?" when she asks "How was your day?" "I am fine" must have a reason in Woman TermsTM. Sometimes I just don't need or want to psychoanalyse every facet of what led up to me being "fine." I just want to be. Christian Graus wrote: Sounds like your life is hell. I never say goodbye to what I want to do, what is she going to do ? hehe, no, actually I am just talking from hearsay. Mainly from what married men here on CP and life in general have to say about married life. Not being married I cannot really say whether I would have my way or not. Christian Graus wrote: Yeah - I'll tell my wife that tonight. Come park with me, bebe !!!! LMAO, that is so out of character I had to laugh :)

And here my stereotype of Tazmania was a hot, sunny land ruled by Tazmanian Devils. Possums aren't exactly Tazmanian Devils IMHO. Christian Graus wrote: As was discussed below, when a woman says she is fine, something is wrong. That's your problem Nooo, I mean when the guy says he is fine and she demands a reason when there is no rhyme or reason. I wonder why a woman cannot be content with there being no reason for it. Christian Graus wrote: Is that like Lake Titikaka ? Never been to Lake Titikaka, so cannot really say. Lake Kariba, which is actually a dam, used to be the biggest dam in the world. Then along came the Aswan dam in Egypt. Kariba is in Zimbabwe and is damned hot, reached 48 when I was there once. Lovely place to holiday, very peaceful and relaxing. Christian Graus wrote: Paul Watson wrote: There are no computers around so no chance to code. There's the problem, right there. Do you seriously never feel like time off for a week or two from coding? I often just want a break from electronic technology in general. Just get away from the hustle of it all and enjoy nature. Read a book, non technical, drink good drink, eat good food. Night all

But you just *know* that if you ask her how her day was, and she replies with "Fine", then you're in the doghouse. You have no idea why and/or what you did, but the terse "fine" instatly means you're sleeping on the couch tonight. Right? Anybody? Hello? :~ That's why I ramble so much.

If you don't want a What-Is-Up-Paul's-Bonnet-Today post then I recommend you stop reading... :~ Why do women have to have a reason when their man says "I am fine." Why can we simply not be content and just be. Fishing comes to mind. Not the hobby most women aspire to, but certainly something us men can absolutely just get into and be totally fine with. We are fine standing there for hours, just being. No rhyme, no reason. Yet come home time many of us need to find a suitable explanation, something to apease Her. If it is not a satisfactory explanation, then there is hell to pay and you can say goodbye to chilling out while watching the Sunday night movie. Jack Knife said something quite true: "As time went on, I finally understood that when she asked how my day went, she was really looking for an opportunity to find out how I was feeling and what my thoughts were. It seems that this is something that is very important for women to share with each other, while men just simply do not practice this ritual among themselves. Once I had grasped this realization, it became clear to me that the best way to approach the situation was to water the technical details down as much as possible so that I was able to simply give her an indication of what I had dealt with during the course of the day while also helping her to understand my thoughts and feelings (this is what she was really wanting to know to begin with)." So, Megan, Lauren, Trollslayer and friends; Why can you not simply realise that sometimes we, us men, are like a warm vacant parking lot... no rhyme, no reason. Just being, just content, just fishing.

If I want to sit fishing for 3 hours, with my dog, why should I have to explain the enjoyment to people afterwards. Just leave me alone with my own midnd.

And this would be because 96% of CPians are men? :rolleyes: Seriously, after posting an answer to Paul about this this morning, I left for work. Along the way I was thinking about it. Now, please don't think I speak for the majority of the female population, I could be off track (almost all of my friends are male, I don't enjoy gossiping in the bathroom - however, I am totally heterosexual, my husband turns me on big time :-O , etc, etc...) but I think the misunderstanding may come in here: Men for some strange reason feel threatened when asked about their feelings, women like to know how their partners are feeling. Perhaps some have a wierd hidden agenda, I don't know. What I do know is that if Brendan has had a bad day, I like to know this as soon as he gets home. Why? you ask? Because that way I can give him a little extra attention, kiss him a few extra times, make some pudding to go with his dinner, and generally make him feel special. And I don't care what anyone says - by the time a couple of hours have passed he is happy and joking and relaxed again, so I'm sure he must enjoy this "making him feel special" treatment. Also, it seems to me that most people who live in close proximity to each other have misunderstandings, and things that irritate each other. The coincidence that most of us have heterosexual relationships leads to us complaining about the other sex, but in truth, you will probably notice many of the small iritating things you see in your partner in people of the same sex as you. That said, there are obviously differences between the sexes, which is what makes marraige so interesting :-D

Megan Forbes wrote: Men for some strange reason feel threatened when asked about their feelings, women like to know how their partners are feeling. Yes. I realise this. To put it from a man's point of view, women just love to analyse feelings beyond all reason. My first wife used to come and say 'before we were going out, that time that we talked about my boyfriend, what were you feeling ?', 'when we went out that night to the Pancake Parlour and we talked all night, how did you feel about that ?', and so on. Drove me MAD. What is the point of analysing that garbage a year later ? How I feel is evident by my presence in the same house, surely ? I'm not talking about saying 'I love you' today, I've never had a trouble expressing affection, but to sit down and analyse every step of the relationship is just a nightmare.

Firstly, we females are odd creatures. Just like men, sometimes we need space, in which case, being smothered in cuddles is not appropriate. But if you can catch it before it gets to the "it's fine" stage, then a hug and an "I love you" will do the trick. Don't ask me why we are this way, but a wife wants to know she is the most important thing in your life - the fact that it is true, means nothing, without hugs and "I love you's". Crazy world huh? :rolleyes:
