As in, "JP, you just have to understand that women 'aren't X' or 'don't think like Y' or are more emotional or don't necessarily need someone to recommend solutions to their problems but just to listen" blahblahblah.

One Way Street; the chyck is right and perfect and an angel for being tolerant enough to put up with you in your current unrefined state in the hopes that you will metamorphose into what SHE needs.
