:laugh: Sorry Paul, I knew this would cause some dissention (ok, how the hell do you spell that word? :~ ) in the ranks. However, I don't think it would be a good idea for 2 dev's to be married to each other - no matter how good their self image's are. Lets face it, code is sacred - what marraige could survive such a subject? ;P However, 95% of my friends are male devs, and I'm sure that for women working in other fields most (sorry, not all :rolleyes: ) of them will make fantastic partners.

super wrote: I really cannot talk to any gal without a fight and always end up in heartbreak Lose the fight. It's dead easy. All you have to do is prove that women are superior to you except when it comes to hunting mammoths and fire-gazing. Scenario: Girl: Does [clothing item A] go with this [clothing item B]? Now you you could try and discuss it with her, but because you are not a mind-reader, you will lose and don't ever suggest she wears the top that let you see 99% of her cleavage - she'll see you for the narrow minded sex- orientated bastard you are. What you should do is start of with statements like (remember you need to take you eyes away from the fire, or the modern equivalent - the TV): 'Yes it does.' and then follow it up with something silly like 'wouldn't stripes/green/flowery top go better.' Now the key to proving how useless you are at this is to get the suggestion wrong. If the item is strongly coloured choose a colour that would clash. If horizontal stripes then suggest vertical. Once you have proved how useless you are, but are obviously trying to help, she will find you more endearing and will either choose other items or will continue to wear the orignal set - or if you're lucky change into that top you really wanted her in :) . Under no conditions are you to: a) get angry that she wasted valuble minutes of fire watching, b) sulk that she did not like your suggestions. However when she re-appears and asks the same question (as they do just to make sure you were paying attention). If wearing same combo as before say 'Yes you were right the first time' or, if changed but obviously not using your suggestions* say 'Oh yes, I am glad you ignored my suggestions'. This technique will work in most situations. Now you may get a reputation of being hen-pecked but what would you prefer a hen-pecked and a better chance of nookie or single and a major contributor to the kleenex share price. (*) any girl that does wear your suggestions has other designs on you - better start running if you are unsure.

Let me translate: "You asked me, you ignored me, you look crap in that, I would have preferred you in the other one, your butt looks big in that, don't bother asking me for help again if you can't be bothered listening to me". Got it? :rolleyes: :-D

super wrote: I really need a crash course on Womens's sensibilties... I really cannot talk to any gal without a fight and always end up in heartbreak... A few truth as I've learned them: 1- Assume you will never truly know or understand someone else, if you're lucky you'll understand yourself. 2- Learn to actually listen. It's amazing how things clear up when you actually pay attention to whatever your talking about. 3- If you're confused, fine, ask questions. They might seem pissed that you didn't pay attention, but it doesn't last. 4- If you disagree on things, so what, don't keep revisiting it, just take it for what it is. 5- If someone is selfish, say goodbye. It'll always be one-sided. 6- Speak your mind. compromise if possible, or needed. If you can't don't get pissed at her if she's stubborn on things too. 7- Arguments are fine, so long as you know why your doing it. 8- Every relationship has a purpose. Try to realize what it is ASAP. It'll help determine your level of involvement. Just my own guidelines. BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do.

Yes, but too diverse is not good either. It helps if you have a clue about what the other part is saying (If you want a discussion that is) -- This space for rent.

super wrote: I really need a crash course on Womens's sensibilties... Even if they offered one, why would you do that to yourself ? super wrote: I really cannot talk to any gal without a fight and always end up in heartbreak... Well, maybe the problem *is* you then. Why would any conversation with a woman end in heartbreak ? super wrote: I feel I will never have a healthy relationship.... How would you define a healthy relationship ?

super wrote: I really need a crash course on Womens's sensibilties... Pretty much the same with guys. God forbid we should be able to write the piece of code some unfortunate male has asked us for help with. Major ego calamity :eek: ! The aforementioned male cannot listen to the explanation for the solution, let his eyes rest on the monitor where the code is displayed, or anything else, for fear of losing his manhood... All I can say is thank goodness I found a man to marry who: a. Has a good self image b. Doesn't feel threatened when people (male or female) debate with him c. Is an accountant, not a dev :-D :love: :love: :love:
