Are Women really like Puzzles with missing pieces. ?


That's what a Man said !

Well...

Some women have it all together.

Some, like to put on such an air of
"mystery", that they seem to be afflicted
with multiple personality disorder.

And,
Some are just batchit crazy.

I'd say that says more about him than women.
One of the biggest problems in the world is neither gender understanding how the other works. Not for everyone, some do understand, most don't.
Then you get these ridiculous statements which lead to tit for tat and further misunderstanding and miscommunication.
If people took a few hours time, one afternoon would be enough, they could grasp the basics. A child would get it in 15 mins, maybe even less as it is that simple, but adults tend to be thicker with certain things, hihi.

And no, women aren't like puzzles with missing pieces. If he feels that way he has never taken the time to understand, to communicate properly in a relationship, and is very judgemental.
I seriously dislike men like that who think it's perfectly fine to knock women when actually they are falling short.

Ooh, this thread should be entertaining.

Wouln't a Woman be more like a Man's missing Piece to his Completeness?

Sounds more like a need to fill a void or attachment issues .... I am not sure where the notion came from that unless we have a partner we are incomplete ., a romanticised theory perhaps . Sure , humans are social by nature but some are and always will be solitary .. that does not mean they are incomplete as a person .

I've seen plenty of women who look as if they have all of their pieces plus several extras.

I'm familiar with that partial quote. How this particular guy meant it, would require a lot more detail about him than I care to know.

My first reaction to it, is that he's like too many people I've known, who grab things like pithy phrases, deep-sounding quotes from alleged "smart people," or some "meme" that they read online somewhere, and then toss them all into an unsorted mess in the back of their minds, and label that bin "my personal philosophy."

The short way of saying all that, is that more often than not, someone who says something like that, is just spewing something that sounded clever to them when THEY heard it, and seemed to shut other people up, so they repeat it whenever THEY want someone to shut up.

The biggest problem with this particular gem, is that it was always designed to SOUND deep and meaningful, without actually providing anything "actionable." That is, like most WISECRACKS (as opposed to real Wise Sayings), this phrase doesn't tell you anything you can use to make good decisions about anything or anyone, it just makes the speaker feel "clever."

Just for the record, I DESPISE "clever."

Characterizing ANY large and obviously varied group of people with a single short phrase like that, isn't going to accomplish anything positive, even if the observation is occasionally accurate about a particular individual.

Anyone want an altered version of this idea, that might ACTUALLY be helpful? I'll take a shot here.

It MIGHT be true or accurate to say, that "men and women, engaged in trying to understand each other, using only what they know of themselves, CAN be like trying to complete a complex picture puzzle, without realizing that half the pieces are missing, or belong to other picture puzzles entirely."

Yes. That's why they should always be kept in the box and offered at discount.


To you?
At least he said something.
He could have ignored you entirely.
...Unless you'd prefer that?

In either case, he wins. You're still thinking about him and what he said.

All people are. Simple as.
