Male and Female relationship psychologies.
Discussion
I have been doing a bit of reading into Darwins second thought "Sexual Selection":- how our mental hardwiring dictates our behaviour. I figure that there are further differences and patterns which are present and we deal with them day to day.
I was reading mateys "How to get my ex-wife back" thread and someone had a poigniant reply which stated, "Women generally take misery after misery after misery and then something clicks and then that's it", that got me thinking about what the fundamental differences are between us.
So, breaking a relationship up into chunks, we have a few criteria.
1. The pair bond (love)- How do attitudes to this vary between sexes?
2. Communication, what are the characteristic patterns here? I reckon from my experience that women play their cards closer to their chest.
3. Attitudes to sex as the relationship matures. ( I reckon that women use sex to lure a bloke and then use it as a bargaining tool once he is hooked, this ties in with sexual selection and my massive cynicism
)
4. How each member of the couple modify their previous behaviour once in the relationship. (Quite a few outgoing blokes are grounded by "er indoors")
5, Etc.
Obviously, there are massive generalisations to be made but in spite of this, I reckon we can have an informative, funny, interesting discussion about this.
Fire away folks......

FWIW even I'm getting a bit tired of these threads, and I started the most infamous one in PH history.mungo said:

LOVE MACHINE! STOP FARTING ON ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS ETC!!!!!!
Pot, kettle, black...Not so long since there were all these late night, pissed up Mungo posts about the women in your life and long distance relationships...
They weren't about "relationships" they were about one night stands and general totty from a none emotional perspective
That's all right then. Do carry on.

Can not believe it my Gf made me cut my hair last night
I actually got dumped once when I got my hair cut short. Shallow Hal or what?
Shallower than a CD case by the sounds of it. I know a girl who dumped her boyfriend because he liked cars - quickly made my no-go list! (real pity, as otherwise she's a lovely girl)
