well, at least you are trying. It is a complex concept. Ever changing. But women are people too.
If I talk to my friends we have a few shared experiences that repeat and recur from woman to
woman it seems. But we are all different. It is a confusing balance of giving and receiving and
having enough left over for creation. I was married, gave birth to and raised two daughters.
I have loved. I have shared. And I enjoy men. But I am at a point where I only seem to
find support in other women, and only a few of them. Maybe our hormones do make us
different. But I would never give up my career and my creativity and usually it is hard to
balance that and a relationship.

Me he agregado al grupo solamente para contestar, no se si la traducción a sido correcta , pero percibo un tono algo despectivo, como dubitativo acerca de lo que quiere la mujer. Qué si no es capaz de amar o no quiere el amor que le ofrecen...cuando la mujer ama de forma especial y su fidelidad es probervial. Quizas sea por experiencias personales, pero los hombres en un porciento alto, menosprecian a la mujer artista, la subvaloran.

Dear ezzaldin shahrori
My native language is Spanish, so I use in preference to another language to be understood better.
I feel that there is such a false barrier, in many cases the traslativo use it, anyone can do if you're interested in knowing.

As a woman and a artist, I would just like to say that the day a man understands me or for me to understand a man is the day 'LIFE' would be unbareable.

That goes for my art and as a woman.

I think the key is, don't try to understand a woman as we are all individuals, I never rely on either sex to help me, I do it my way and if I don't get where I want to go, then theres only myself to blame, or the fact that I drive a banger.x

As for wanting love, ah thats a mugs game, theres no such thing as love, just lust.x

I agree with dawn.

The phrase "to understand women" I find it derogatory.
Why understand women?
We women do not usually ask: Why do understand men?
Probably because we know will understand.

When people share, they show that they care. A person that listens carefully shows heart.
People that communicate enough to allow for differences and openly agree to allow disagreement,
are mature. Life is too short for pushing and pulling-with things to do, like the arts, that are way to entrancing to tolerate negativity.
