The attraction blinded you to the abuse. That's almost exactly what I said, save for the word "blinded"
Alphathree, to clarify, I was only disputing a part of what you said - the part about women who are abused being "weak-willed."
I understood what you said about the attraction blinding a woman to her abuse and I reiterated that same idea because I did agree. My agreement with your argument was implicit.
I believe you are a bit too quick to find criticism where there is none.
Women are not incapable of logical arguments.
Many women make brilliant lawyers.
There is, however, undeniable proof that male and female communication styles differ and I do not see that one is superior to the other.
The way that the term "********" has been used in this thread has given me the distinct impression that a female's style of communication is thought to be inferior.
In this particular case, it wasn't really an argument at all but rather, a sharing of experience - And a highly emotional experience, at that.
In fact, although this is a little off topic, I would make note that, in order to communicate well with women, it is necessary to realize that quite often, they do not wish for someone to solve or analyze their problems but rather, to listen and to empathize with what is being said.
