LOL, its not as easy as you described because of raging hormones, mood swings and inexhaustible supply of tears.

I personally feel the best solution is, to mock a Kenny Rogers song, "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." On day's "when to fold 'em", simply stay out of the way.
That's when you engage the tune em out gene every man has. Just say uh huh about every three minutes. Now she has something to talk to her girl friends about so she'll be on the phone for at least 3 hours.. It's all just a big cycle.

You'd be sadly mistaken if you tried the sports trick on me. I like to watch sports. Not all. Buy quite a few. So I'd end up watching. Unless you hit one that I find intolerable.

If you are sincere, then this is a good thing.
My thoughts exactly. Why fake it??

Then why bother having a girl around? If you're just going to feign interest in her life and not give a crap about her, why bother having her around in the first place?

Yep. Always nice when the unsuccessful in dating are doling out advice to others. The funny thing is, not only is he thinking he's getting one up on women by pretending, he just doesn't realize that there are a ton of men out there who do care, who do actually listen, who are good people and don't have to manipulate their partners to get what they want, because they are in a healthy relationship and know how to give and take to have success in that relationship.

It's not about not giving a crap about her it's just there's a difference in what mean and women think are important or how much information is needed to answer a simple question. Not to also mention he difference in attention spans.

As for why? There's the lady lumps.. Their smile, Their laugh, Their smell, Their touch, Their compassion, Their sensuality, Their comfort, Their beauty, etc... Ya just gotta appreciate em love em..

Now why women deal with me that's a good question..
