Writing mathematical proofs has greatly improved my life

I'm following what you're saying, and I don't see how the OP would ever manage to get a girlfriend with his attitude, which would certainly constitute an impact on his life. But he's not exactly asking for help or advice on how to change.

No, I think she's saying that if he's not gay, then his first thoughts when meeting a woman should be about sex.

I think she used way too many words to express that thought, though.



(Interesting trivia: During the early days of mining, using the restroom during the day presented a hygeine problem with so many miners stuck down there with nowhere to go. The solution was a toilet mounted on a small rail car which could be dragged out and emptied at the end of the day. One of the favorite pranks to play on a miner that failed to personally make sure the wheels were blocked were to send the rail car and toilet on a roll down the tunnel with the poor indisposed miner in the middle of his business. And the only warning the poor miner would get would be the sound of that chain being yanked by one of his coworkers.)

Actually, I think I don't like anyone who talks too much. Oh wait. I'll shut up.

That miner story is interesting. Make sure the wheels are blocked. I grasp it because one time in a Starbucks, I had to go so bad I didn't push the button in properly on the door handle. That was a mistake.

I now regret posting the afterthought about women, since it seems to have caused a shitstorm and detracted from my main point. But anyways, I guess after further Google-researching the matter I found out that women only speaking a few hundred more words than men.

Lol, are you a real person, who actually feels this way?...Sometimes sitting on my computer, I feel like some people are just such "characters" that they are either not real, or are being deliberately "put on".

Women can be indirect, yes. That is true. I'm sure if you were to talk to a lot of men, they too, would not speak as concisely, logically, and clearly as you would like.

Life is not a proof. Enjoy ambiguity. I can see where the perceived indirectness of women would be problematic if you were emotionally involved with her and it lead to serious miscommunication or problems, but otherwise, why care?...Unless you have some type of emotional involvment with the situation. That is to say, maybe you are just failing in the social realm of women and rather than analyze yourself and seek the problem, (and or beat yourself up over it for a period of time, unless you already went through that stage) you blame it on the women. ...What's the first step of the proof?...State your assumptions. You seem to be assuming it is not you, it is them.

Do you attack all proofs with the same strategy or do different proofs demand different strategies?

That is to say, the methods of thinking and acting that work in one realm may not work in another. What's your universe of discourse? ... Just because I prove something in one universe doesn't imply that it holds in all others. Surely, you know this.

Don't be so quick to blame it on "the women". Your horizons will open if you do not insist that everybody be one way as opposed to another. Natural languages are not formal languages. "The map is not the territory". Good luck.

What was your main point? The part about thinking clearer? Then why are you in a "relationships" forum?...Or is your main point that you cannot talk to women, care about that and seek help but you couched it in misleading and un-necessary (indirect) terminology?

Personally, I blame the men. They clearly don't use enough words to form any normal emotional attachment.

I like Serena

Here's one where some poor guy wrote a lot of words and symbols, where the woman does not need words at all.
You may want to jump into a lake to cool off though.




Try not to get distracted by the hot chick.
