Boys wear blindfolds, Girls wear glasses

It is an interesting metaphor, and maybe I came up with it out of frustration, but it seems so true. I feel like I and most other girls I know have great people-reading skills and intuition, while with guys it seems like the most obvious things are invisible. This observation could come from the fact that I am an over-analyzer and so in comparison to myself, most boys seem blind to the blatant facts. Its pretty frustrating to constantly drop hints about something, and you want to ask, "Do you not understand how I feel?", but you have to stop and realize, 'no, they don't know how you feel.' No one told them, you hold the missing piece to the puzzle and that's why it seems so obvious to yourself. Because us girls over-analyze and make effort to understand people, we have to be patient and tolerant of those who are not as quick and observant.
