Hmm.. do you have to be complicated and prone to blowing up when emotions overtake you in order to have the mind of a woman? If that's the case... then why do I prefer to be less complicated and try to rationalize rather than blow up?
Surely there's more to a 'woman's mind' than complications and emotional deluge?

Manipulation is essentially a form of control... so I would imagine that there are a few individuals that desire control over another and use manipulation to do so... such as withholding sex. Oddly enough though, withholding sex from a male is a guaranteed way to lose them eventually --- so much for control.
Do you believe that manipulation does occur or is it that you believe manipulation is acceptable?
I for one would like to see the stereotype of women being portrayed as manipulative, sex-withholding bitches eventually discarded from mainstream thought... one day.

How can you not express how you feel? I think we do a disservice to ourselves and others if we fail to remain true to our emotions ... and essentially ourselves.
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."
