Yeah. I made myself a rule, never to ever tell any girlfriend anything personal about myself ever again. A woman's weapon is INFORMATION. They will casually ask you about your friends, work, thoughts, feelings, etc. and use it against you later on. They are searching for your weakness. They collect all kinds of information; as a man you just cannot foresee what they will use and how they will use it, so don't tell them anything. Just make stuff up, because if you don't say something, they'll never stop pestering you. All of my girlfriends also had a mental list of all of the things that I had done 'wrong' in their eyes. They totally forget about all of the nice, kind, considerate things -- only the negative things, and they remember every little thing from every single time you left your socks on the bathroom floor, to all the times you were late, to that time you missed an appointment... you name it, they remember. But they forget about all the times you picked them up from work, or gave them a back-rub when they were tired, or changed the oil on her car, or... whatever... I agree with others, that it's innate, they can't stop themselves. It's really sad, though, isn't it? It would be so nice if men and women were compatible, but we just aren't. We're like all other animals in this regard.... you only get together when the female is in heat. Once the fucking is done, go your separate ways. There's a reason most male animals don't hang out with the females.
