History offers many mystical stories about the female. May be as children we learn to love by the stories we hear. How can we not love the center character of our childhood tales? After all they are our mothers, daughters and best friends. Wisdom prevailing we men should keep in mind we would not existence without them. Their indispensability makes them mysterious, we lust for their attention, we ask them for permission to marry us and are drunk with their majesty. Their shapes attract us, their smell excite us and their leaving make us sorrowful. Yet we know so little about them. Often our angry comments are less than complimentary. It is say "we cant live with them and cant live without them".
We intuitively know that life would be dull and meaningless without women. Yet the quality of life's experiences is solely dependent on the quality of the communications between man and woman.

Of course, women are a problem to understand! Of course, men are a problem to understand! Consider this idea, when a female experiences natural bleeding every month, this is mark of "life giving". When a male experiences bleeding not only is it "unnatural" but is a sign of pain, injury and possibly of death! Talk about a different point of view. Note that both views are natural for the respect genders.
It is this "problem causing pair" (male and female) that gives life to each of us, both figuratively and literally. No births can take place without them. If either of them totally vanished we would have not life, or fun,
