The equilibrium state of men and women

i know i should be returning this to my sister, but while she hasnt come bothering me yet, i tot i could just squeeze in one more post.

was reading some blog entries of people i dont know personally and it's ironic to note how these "strangers" actually invade my thoughts more often than close ones around me.

The topic of interest: Men and women.
Girl's point of view. Boy's point of view.
Started ever since Adam and Eve? Ancient topic but never fail to spur the interest or spark off a friendly debate.

Why are we so different?
OR,

Do we think we are different because we are brought up to think that we are?

Why do books, articles, movies, media always make us all unsatisfied with the counterpart?

Why are men unsatisfied with what they have?
And why are women unsatisfied with what they have? or have not?

It's so typical. Confronted with a situation of unsatisfied needs, men are sterotyped to do "out-sourcing". *in today industrial terms*. In the case of women, we are stereotyped to re-enforced what wewant, some nag (soft approach), some kick up a tantrum, breaking up (hard approach), some resorted to crying and breaking down (last approach) to get what they want.

It's like if we were to use economic terms.(gee, sister came in to ask if' i'm done, gotta summarise).

Guys get the desired quantity by increasing the supply ( increasing the odds of getting what they want, out-sourcing if they fail to get it from one)

Ladies get the desired wishes by adjusting their demands on guys. They do realize, it comes a point, if they were to increase their expectations (hence increasing the demand), they are unable to get the equilibrium state (negotation point). And beyond this point, (if guys should choose to leave and not compromise), they will be "left" in an unstable "market" state.

(point to note, the inverse can happen)


It's becomes a give and take situation.


alright gotta go... sister rushing me. i cant finish.
