You're right guys do have mood swings but generally they are more internal and we don't realize how much they affect our actions. Sometimes your guy friends need some time alone or time with their guy friends. If they have been real quiet for a few days something's probably up, maybe they are just feeling down and need someone to help them smile.
My advice is don't read into it too much, I know you girls love doing that and can expect us to do the same but if a guy's being quiet it's probably just because he doesn't feel like talking. Not because he-secretly-likes-you-but-at-the-same-time-doesn't-want-to-lead-you-on-while-he-knows-he-can't-hold-up-a-relationship-and-wants-to-find-out-if-you-really-like-him.
Having said that the guys you know might be quite different but from my experience guys tend to be pretty honest/transparent. |

| Correct me if i'm wrong! guys have like a shield around them selves and they try to use it as much as possible to make them the man they want to be. but by trying to use that shield so much they tend to give girls the impression that they are like turtles. you can drive right onto a turtle and they still survive!, but guys on the other hand they do survive externally but they sure suffer internally referring to mood swings. and if they feel hurt they will try to brush it off and don't want to show ot at all, for fear it will put them down. |

| I love your turtle analogy and it's pretty accurate, guys tend to be soft on the inside but society tells them to be a man you need to be real tough so they build a shell. No one can see their emotions and they don't let anything hurt them. Sometimes they get scared and hide inside their shell, then they do dumb things cause they are worried about showing how they feel inside. |

| ya thats what i knida think to that is what they do they don't wanna get out from underneath their shell cuz they are afraid to get hurt by most likely some girl that is not considerate about how "turtles" have a shell but are soft on the inside! |

After knowing my boyfriend for many months he randomly said "you know guys are the most insecure people out there" and quickly changed the subject. I knew that from reading FYWO but to hear it said was different. Like a month later we talked about it agian, guys you know girls don't want or expect (most at least) you to always be strong and know what to do. Know what else? When you're driving and lost there's nothing wrong with stopping and asking for directions or calling someone!! It saves so much time lol |

why don't guys think that girls can drive?
I think they don't think that anyone beside themselves can drive, but they will only tease their guy friends about it. instead of being tense and telling us gals to "watch out for ___".
Maybe I'm completely off. |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

God Bless!

| haha, that cracks me up! because my boyfriend "pretended" to be scared out of his mind when I got my permit (which was when we weren't together). and, since I'm getting my license very soon (but he's on the other side of the world), he would say things like, "I am SO GLAD I won't be around for that!" all in good fun, but I think there's some truth to what you girls said! =p |

| Oh a couple of my friends and I decided we should get our CDL's so we can drive semi's I would LOVE to show my guy friends I can drive our huge semi. And why are guys so astonished if a girl can drive a manual? Or a dirt bike? I hit a deer, well actually it hit me, and every one acts like I rolled the car. |

Looking at the responses they sort of answer themselves.
Why do guys think girls can't drive?
Well generally guys can be more skillful drivers because they take more risks and push their cars to the limit which is why they get good at driving. They also like to be in control and if someone else is driving they don't feel comfortable.
Guys have a massive ego and like to think they are the best at everything especially when it comes to a comparison with girls. I once heard someone say that a guy will almost never go out with a girl who is stronger than him which is probably often true.
Last but not least guys love to tease and annoy girls, if it gets them on edge like it seems to for many here then they will use it over and over again because they know it works.
Hope this helps and if you are looking to get back at someone you know the best way to do it would be to show them up somehow but make sure they deserve it |

Obviously practice makes someone better at most things. I definitely push my car to the limit, and (knock on wood) nothing bad has ever happened. Never even been pulled over.
I simply find it amusing that guys are so tense while they aren't driving. Although I'm the same way sometimes when I'm shotgun- I really have to remind myself to relax and enjoy the ride. |

Every guy I know has had to replace something on his car because of something he has done, if not get a new car. Girls? Nope, they just have to keep up with regular maintenance.

I know I'm jumping into the middle of the conversation, but I have something to add. In addition to the reasons previously stated, there is another reason guys always want to drive. One of my favorite things to say is "chivalry isn't dead." I, personally, would never want to sit in the passenger seat while a girl drives. No, I'm not sexist. Here's my reasoning.
1. About the whole insecure thing... it's true. And I'm only admitting it because nobody on here knows me personally. Seriously though, whenever I'm not making myself useful, I feel worthless. If I'm sitting in the car while my friend who's a girl is driving, and I'm not doing something vitally important, here comes the depression. It reminds me of the song, "More Than Useless," by Relient K. If I see another guy, maybe carrying some heavy boxes, I offer casually to help, but I don't push it. Us guys usually think the same way; we like feeling like we are useful and valuable. If I saw a girl carrying the same boxes, I would pretty much bug her until she let me help, because otherwise I feel horrible about myself.
2. Number one goes hand in hand with this one. In addition to feeling bad if I'm not helping, my favorite thing ever is to help people. If I can make someone's day, it makes my day, too. When I drive, or whenever, I like to do as much for a girl as I can, because I love helping people. Why a girl? Because, as guys, we often feel inadequate if we need help to accomplish a task. Plus, girls have it tough. No matter how strong you are, everyone needs a break sooner or later.
Just my two cents...
