Is there such a thing as the average American female? I think that it might be possible, although I would never presume to speak for all females everywhere, I think we do share enough feminine traits that a literary license will allow me to draw from.

In doing this, I am assuming that I am an average American female. That idea in itself causes my female instincts to surface. I need to be "individualized", to be myself, not like any other person in existence. Therefore, you have to understand that I think thoughts that no-one has ever thought before. Don't worry if you don't get it. It simply means that you are male and not intended to understand.

I have been thinking a lot about male versus female and the different roles we assume at birth. So I have come to understand that males cannot help it if they don't understand females, in fact, I think it was part of God's universal plan to make it so. Can you imagine a lifetime with a mate who understood your every utterance? Simply unthinkable. But I think it will help if our male counterpart could understand a few truths about the females in their life. So I will endeavor to be as straight forward as any male you have ever known to expedite a bit of enlightenment.

It's been my experience that most men are very concrete in their thinking processes. For instance, a woman asks her mate a simple question, "Does my hair look okay?". He knows his mate expects total honesty in their relationship so he responds with something to this effect. "Yes, honey your hair looks fine." Little does he know that he has just totally blown it. Her question was simple enough. Why did he not know what she wanted? Because he thinks in literal/concrete terms. But now he has broken her heart and she may never speak to him again.

To avoid this situation in the future, I'll try to explain this in ways that anyone can understand. When she asked, "Does my hair look okay?", this is the process his mind should have instantly gone through to fully understand her.

His first thought should have been she asked me a question and she used the word 'look'. So he should have instantly turned from the TV. Next, he should have thought like this in process - hair, head, "heart". After all, her hair is on her head, her head is on her body which contains her heart. Now he has an idea that what she asked is really related to matters of the heart. And that has to do with love. So almost instantly he should have said, "I love you more than I have ever loved anyone in my entire life!!"

See how simple that was? Now that you understand the process, you should be able to understand the woman in your life perfectly. That is unless she asks, "Does this purse go well with my outfit?" Then it's a whole new ball game.

Please keep in mind that this is a 'tongue-in-cheek'look at the male-female relationship.
