Thanks for accepting this challenge.
Being a woman, I'm naturally going to have to disagree with some of your conclusions about men and women being incompatible, mainly because for me, I've been operating in close contact with men and women, and i can see no discernable difference. I stopped getting romantically involved with men though, because for me, it's something that also destroyed a large chunk of my life........I fell into the trap of a sociopath, and experienced brainwashing, emotional abuse, etc.. It was a decade ago, and I have had to study my own psychological connections and makeup to understand how this happened......it was the result of me being an empath (I did everything for this person, including doing web design, graphics, paid for everything, etc.) and was treated poorly in return.
This was a problem of me not being formed and lacking self-esteem, so I take full responsibility for getting myself into that shithole relationship...
I'm not saying what you experienced isn't valid, but pigeon-holing women into your own categories based on your own personal experience doesn't mean that all women are like what you experienced.
It took me ten years to unravel who i am, and to change from being a doormat that others walked all over, to a person who sticks up for myself, and sets boundaries. Before my ex, I had no boundaries and would let people abuse me in all sorts of ways.
Being alone is perhaps the greatest gift to be given because before that, I did not know who I was and I"m not bitter anymore either.
Anyway, that's my two cents.
Thanks for doing this challenge.
