Women are Crazy
Dealing with Craziness – or Not Dealing with It
The best you can possibly hope for is the ability to ride out the craziness while still maintaining your own sanity. Often times this means appearing to agree with what they are telling you – but going along with something versus actually buying into it are really two different things. In other words, your girlfriend might tell you something that you think is nuts – but if you just go with the flow, chances are good that the craziness will blow over after some period of time. This works well if your woman is not acting crazy a majority of the time. However, if you think she is acting crazy most of the time, then it is time to move on and find yourself someone new … someone who is less crazy! Remember – women are ALL crazy … it is the degree of insanity that varies from female to female. If you keep your sanity expectations of women low, you are less likely to be disappointed. I’ve got some pretty good examples of common types of female craziness. My guess is that you or someone you know really well can relate to one or more of these.
Crazy Woman Example – She is Always Upset at You
Some women are just flat out critical of everything their man does. Many of these women appear to thrive on telling you just what you are doing wrong – and the only peace you may enjoy is when you are asleep. This was the situation with me and a woman who I lived with, and was engaged to – her name was Regina. I had just started a new job when Regina moved in with me – and she thought that I worked too much. Whenever I was gone for business, Regina always thought that I was cheating on her. If I was out with my friendsRegina thought that I was with another woman. Whenever I was not in the same room as she was, she was going through my stuff trying to find evidence that I was cheating on her. Guess what? I never cheated on her – and I never would have … but her giving me such a hard time about everything really broke my spirit. I was always tense – because I felt like I had to constantly call her, and report in with what I was doing, where I was going, who I was with, etc. It made my life miserable. The funny part was that Regina was absolutely gorgeous – and we had the best sex together … and since we had sex all the time, I allowed the great sex to mask my feelings about everything else. I never really knew how much anxiety that relationship gave me until a year or so after the relationship ended. Only then did I realize how much peace and serenity I had in my life without her. And many anxiety symptoms I had at the time disappeared. The moral to this particular story? If she is always upset at you, then she has a problem – and you are likely better off without her.
Crazy Woman Example - She Hates Your Friends
Crazy Woman Example – She Hates Your Some women make your life hell in all aspects – but others are more selective. Jealousy is a particularly nasty trait, and is difficult to overcome. Jealously can manifest itself in many forms – the most generic is when a woman cannot stand anything or anyone who takes your attention away from her. [Women in this extreme can be characterized as “high maintenance” and/or as an “attention whore”.] My buddy, Greg, has a very jealous wife named Tiffany. Now Tiffany is an exceptionally good-looking woman who should have no reason whatsoever for being insecure – but she is, and one way that this insecurity shows itself is how she has isolated Greg from all of his friends, and often from his father, too. In each case, she has exposed some (previously unknown) tragic flaw with each of us – and used this flaw as the justification for insisting that Greg not hang out with us. In my case, she doesn’t like my sense of humor. In Greg’s father’s case, she insists that he drinks too much and takes financial advantage of Greg all the time. For a while, Greg bought into these ideas of Tiffany’s – and he pushed several of us out of his life. But as time went by, Greg eventually saw the situation from a higher level, and was able to understand that his wife is crazy! [Greg is now SOMETIMES allowed to hang out with me – maybe once every two weeks or so. And Greg’s ]father is now SOMETIMES allowed to come over to Greg’s home.] The real bottom line is that Tiffany is jealous of anyone who takes Greg’s attention away from her – because she is a jealous attention whore! Wow – it felt good to say that!
Now sometimes jealousy is not quite as all-encompassing as the Greg-Tiffany situation. The live-in girlfriend I had named Regina (the one who was constantly looking for evidence of me cheating on her) was much more focused on my interactions with women … including and especially my female friends. It so happened about the time that Regina moved in with me – that I had been hanging out a lot with a very good female friend named Krista. Krista was a neighbor of mine – she lived around the corner, and we had become friends because we shared a common interest in riding jet skis. Krista and I had been friends for several years – we had gone on jet ski trips together (bringing along our respective boyfriend/girlfriend, as well as a pack of other people, etc.). Krista was about eight years younger than me – and was fairly attractive. But my friends and I used to joke privately that Krista was really a man … because she had kind of a hard attitude, tended to bark out orders, plus she had fairly broad shoulders, and typically burned through boyfriends at a rate faster than the rest of us did with our girlfriends. [We gave her the nickname “Roadkill” – because she would (figuratively-speaking) roll right over them, and leave them behind in her rear-view mirror.]
There was absolutely nothing ever sexual going on between me and Krista – never. Not even when neither of us was dating anyone. I truly viewed Krista as “one of the boys”, as that was the type of person she really was to me. She was a very good However, when Regina moved in and noticed that Krista and I would talk on the phone, and hang around together – things crashed and burned in a hurry. It wasn’t more than a few weeks before Regina accused me of sleeping with Krista … and insisted that I terminate my friendship with her. Since I had proposed to Regina, and fully intended on marrying her – I proceeded to make two giant mistakes:
Explaining to Krista why I could no longer be her friend was my second stupid move. Remember that Krista was “one of the boys”, and imagine telling one of your buddies that you can no longer talk nor hang out anymore … you are “breaking up the friendship”. I said that Krista was man-like – and this especially applied to her language. She gave me verbal grief just like any of my male buddies would have done – she called me a wimp and a pussy, … she said that any girl that made me ditch my friends was a crazy bitch. At the time, I told her, “I know, I know … but I have to do this … please don’t cause trouble.” Krista did go away as I asked her to do … but after Regina eventually moved out some four months later, I was eating my words around Krista. And my friendship with Krista was never, ever the same after that episode.
The single most important lesson from the Regina-Krista situation is that you must NEVER, EVER allow any woman to determine who your friends are. If you have very attractive female friends, you do need to sympathize with your girlfriend – and make sure you are not doing anything to lead a sane person to believe you are fooling around with your female friend. In other words, don’t spend the night at the female friend’s home … don’t kiss the female friend … don’t have secrets with the female friend, don’t carry the female friend’s photo in your wallet, etc. If there is any doubt about what actions or activities you should or should not enjoy with your female friend – just imagine the reverse situation where your girlfriend has a male friend, and if you would not be comfortable with her doing something similar, then don’t do it! Be respectful – but don’t be a puss!
The second lesson I learned from the Regina-Krista situation had to do with me going to Krista (my friend), and telling her I could not talk to her nor hang out with her anymore because Regina objected. The real lesson is more high-level than the details of this episode … and that lesson is when you have to do something you know is stupid, don’t announce it! Otherwise, you will receive a lot of scrutiny and grief over it – as I did with Krista. It would have been better for me to have handled such a situation (where I was being a hen-pecked puss) much more quietly … maybe by phasing Krista out by not calling her back, etc.

Women are Crazy
<<< previous page ........................ next page >>>
If by now you have not recognized the fact that all women are crazy, then you need more help than this website can possibly give you. Women are crazy – and I don’t necessarily mean this in a clinical sense. Women are crazy in the sense that they do and think things that we as midlife bachelors will never be able to comprehend. They look at everything from a totally different perspective than we do. I don’t understand them myself – and I do not try to. In fact, it is pointless to try to understand women – because just when you think you do understand them, something will cause you to recognize that you MISUNDERSTAND them. Some women are more predictable than others – but don’t confuse “predictability” with “understanding women”. Maybe just maybe if you are fortunate enough to be]marriedto the same woman for thirty or forty years – then YOU MAY UNDERSTAND HER … but that understanding is limited to just that one woman, not ALL women! [And certainly this is not the case with you – because you are a MIDLIFE BACHELOR. If you truly understood your woman, you wouldn’t be a midlife]bachelor and you would not be reading this right now.]Dealing with Craziness – or Not Dealing with It
