Emotions with Prog and... Women!

well David... Life is strange and sometimes incomprehensible. After living almost to the day... Today, no. But I now I wonder: 'What if I had chosen that day to share my best years with that girl... Today I would be a better person? '

Well... Prog and girl... They are two ingredients of my life!

Yorkie X...  for you!

You are still relatively young.  And you need to be a lot older to come close to understanding women.  If there is one thing I have learned is that most all of them have two totally different sides.  They put on a nice face in public but can be absolute monsters to the ones they love.  It took me a long time to figure this out.  You still think that most of them are these wonderful, gentle beings that you just want to get to know and see if you are compatible. But until you see the second side, it is really hard to know the true them.  Most people know my wife as a totally polite, lovely, giving woman who wouldn't hurt a fly.  I know the truth that often times she would rather spit on me than look at me. I truly believe that it is hard for her to keep up the facade all day every day and that she vents her frustrations on me, just to get them out. 

The thing that is different is that she is unlike a lot of women who simply do not want to be alone.  They will put up with a ton of crap from men because they don't know if something better will come along.  My wife is not like that at all as are a lot of women.  You need to identify which one you have if you enter a relationship.  Not that you should treat them like crap just to test the theory but it should help you understand where they are coming from.

And then you have the marrying type and the good time girls.  Figure out which one you have in that area.  Because there is a lot to marriage besides the physical.  Like cooking and taking care of the nice house.  I do a lot of cleaning and cooking but my wife does so much when it comes to taking care of the house and kids that I would be lost without her.  And I'm not saying you need a gourmet chef or you can't cook, but do you want someone who wants to eat out every night and can't boil water?  That gets old real fast.  Do you want someone who can't pay a bill or has a lot of debt?  Someone who can't have stimulating conversation?  Marriage is hard and compatabilty is so important.

I am like you in that I usually find it easier to talk to women than men.  I have no friends who like prog, so that is out, so you talk about sports and complain about women. 

What does this have  to do with prog?  Women are even more intricate in what goes through their heads than most prog bands could ever hope to dream up.  I can tell in your reviews that you take them seriously and try hard to express what the music can mean to the listener.  But prog only goes one way.

What??? Excuse me??? If I get it right, if I understand...
Some of you are making a comparison between human company - especially relationship with the other sex - and a musical style?
Is that it?

Hi, I'm in total agreement!!!! Music without emotion is not music that I enjoy at all. Unlike many here I love Genesis's Duke album because that's all about emotion!!! Some of the most powerful music that I know has come from Journey because of the emotion behind them!!!

Some of you are making a comparison between human company - especially relationship with the other sex - and a musical style? Is that it?   Exactly!   They are two different things. I prefer the human warmth to heat a CD! Also because a woman will ever understand ... A CD can do so?   And the honest friendship of a friend (preferably female, for me) is the best thing there is, in this world!

Once you go hermaphrodite you'll never go back.  And what exactly do you have against cross dressers anyway?

I am a misanthrope, I relate more to music than to people, no seriously!!!    This also means I hate small talk like few things in the world so when I make conversation of substantial length outside my professional orbit, it is to do with music or books or sports...in which case, I am almost always talking to men rather than women. For whatever reason, in my country women are not encouraged, though not discouraged either, to have artistic ideas, so I don't bump into any women who are as passionate about music as I am or some of my male friends are without making it a livelihood. 

I am in agreement with Johnobvious though I have not entered into relationships with women so far in life.  Do not let the facade of gentleness and warmth deceive you. My observation is that even in matters of work, women are more likely to doublecross you than men....men are - let's accept the truth guys - a little stupid and horrible at acting and they usually crack under pressure and start 'singing' - before you say 'smartaleck', let me tell you I am no different.    I have seen some women colleagues deny their responsibilities in a job we both had worked on together at the crunch moment with an absolutely straight, innocent face and leave me alone in the firing line.   More recently, I was on an audit assignment where I watched with amusement a pretty young woman employee flirt subtly but evidently to escape censure from her boss and routinely rant vehemently at her fellow employees to lay the blame for her mistakes on them. I don't really blame her, if I could get rid of all my problems by flashing a million-dollar smile, why not?
