What Don't You Understand About the Opposite Sex?

Because usually, your friends can make you aware of things you yourself have become blind to.

How do people become blind to their own preferences and desires unless they've already assumed that "other people know more about me then I do"?

It's very easy and common for people to overlook things about their partner that they shouldn't because they are seeing them through rose-colored glasses. Hence the saying, "love is blind".
 
Nothing. Men are rather easy to understand. I don't see what's so difficult really. Same for women, as well. Gawd, you heteros! 😀 😀 😀
 
I've never understood what it is about men's ugly, hairy, bumpy bodies you ladies find attractive. We're just gross. :shrug:

Yeah, and women are pretty forgiving about that. If we see something we like, we'll forget you have a receding hairline or something.

But hairy backs are a no-go. Sorry.

That's a problem with a hard fix.

I don't know how you ladies can take burning hot wax...drip it on your legs...tear the hairs out by the root...

And still be afraid of a spider. :shrug:

The wax is not burning hot. And the pain only lasts a second. It's the best alternative to shaving / chemically removing and cheaper than electrolysis. Besides, guys wouldn't appreciate us going all 70's in that regard.

As for spiders, I don't know. I'm fine with them from a distance, but I don't want them near or on me.

OMG! LOL! No. The question was why do people go to their friends to gather an opinion about their lovers instead of gathering their own opinion about them?

The question wasn't what makes people blind to the others flaws. That's an easy question to answer... its the same reason people find something to hate in others... people see what they want too... DUH!

Please re-read the conversation. OMG, this is a good example of the telephone game we played in kindergarden. You say one thing and everyone says something entirely different.

LOL!

I just say in general, it's a hard fix. It's not my personal problem.

But that shit seems like a fair trade to me.

:sigh:

People go to their friends to gather an opinion about their lovers in addition to gathering their own opinions -- BECAUSE -- they likely trust their friends' judgment and are aware that their friends may see flaws in their lovers that they don't see because they're in love with them.

Get it?

Getting an opinion in order to guide yours is one thing, relying on it to make your judgements for you is QUITE another. I've seen more of the latter in relationships. People distrust their instincts and personal preferences just to go along with the popular consensus.

I don't see what is so non-controversial about people who form their opinions solely based on others approval? If we, as individuals, are basing our judgments on social consensus instead of our own judgment, then we are in a LOT of trouble. Just to give a macro example, it wasn't too long ago bigotry against homosexuals was a opinion people fed into each other. They'd say "this persons is gay, don't hang out with them". If we would have used this social logic, we would still be a country of homophobic bigots.

GEORGE BUSH was a popular President everyone and their mom would have approved of in 2001... need I say more about basing your personal judgment on your social circles opinion?

You're friends do not know what you personally want. If I would have listened to my friends, I would not have even admitted I liked tickling.

I think you might be making a big leap here. It's one thing to ask your friends for advice when you're fighting with your significant other. It's quite another to ask them to choose your religion or presidential candidate.
