Dear, sweet, Lucifer, I know what you mean. Or, they expect you to ASK to talk to them, and they get upset when you don't.

Wonderfully done. The point was brought through excellently.

Thank you very much! Nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with helping-addicts.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone you know (subject of this) is like 40-50 years behind the times. Amazes me that women still need to go around with a sign "Empty Knights In Shining Armor Need Not Apply." Or bother.
Actually men need to do the doing, women make themselves quite clear enough, men don't pay attention or take them seriously
If men had the answers they wouldn't be killing themselves and others, there would be no Iraqs and Afghanistans and all the other horrors.
Many years ago a young lady friend of mine told me that she felt men and women were two different species, not variations on homo sapiens. I sometimes (like now after reading this) think she was right.
I have never given up on surmounting whatever that difference is, men and women can be real with each other; it's just that the time between such occurances can make for despair and bitterness.
I've written about the subject; the way you laid your lines out is totally awesome, if it were speech transcribed it would be bloody well to the point, as poetry it has a start-and-pause rhythm which I can feel here.

Great topic and presentation. I really like this one.
