I often tell my male children or young men that I know "Don't believe anything a woman tells you. Just watch what they do. You'll know everything by their actions but not their words." Though I'm sure many women would be offended by this it still tends to be true. So many women for thousands of years have been trained to always go against their emotions so that men have had to operate this way in regard to the women they love. It's not that women choose to say one thing and do another, it is that like I said that they have been culturally conditioned this way for thousands of years now. Men tend to be much more direct and to always know what they feel about everything. If men didn't do this they wouldn't survive to adulthood because of the way boys and men and testosterone tends to be. So, there is a more honest approach to life that men have just be able to survive to grow up. But in other ways men must be dishonest with other men in order to deal with things like several guys being in love with the same girl so violence doesn't ensue unnecessarily. For a man, it is mostly about knowing which guy it is that "She" wants (the one that everyone loves). After that, each guy has to figure out how to go on with his life without "her" except for the one poor guy who is the ultimate victim of "her".
I know this all sounds sort of twisted and it is but this is where "All's fair in love and war!" came from.
