Just because you are of opposite sex doesn't mean you have an excuse for miscommunication. It is up to the individuals to make sure you are communicating properly and effectively; that goes for the same sex as well.

Hmm I was thinking that the sexes operate strategies instinctively on a subconscious level which is a cause for the confusion and miscommunication or whether, do we operate these strategies on a more conscious level?

We all have operated irrationally and then rationalised our actions, we can only be fully honest about ourselves by standing outside ourselves as well as being fully aware of our motives.


Getting back to Schoppenhauer, he more or less says, control the desire and you control the torment desire creates which is another reason why I quoted him. Hmm which isn't a smart thing to post on an explicitly sexual site! lol
