		<description>That&#039;s not a complicated person. That&#039;s a dumb person.

Here&#039;s an Occam&#039;ed version of what happened (in my eyes):

Take it that she was speaking to you in Klingon but you didn&#039;t have the codec for it. 

She was also speaking in broken Klingon, if I may add. A very very bad, grammatically erronous and illogicality-ridded example of broken Klingon, if you wish to as well- It&#039;s like reading a 5th grader&#039;s account of why he should have cookies from the cookie jar, what with the primitive logic that was offered. 

As for complicated vs complex, I disagree with whatever that&#039;s been posited (not that it&#039;s serious anyway) because the definition did not exactly describe the qualities of complexity adequately- that is to say, there is nothing complex about being an emotionally mature person, and using the synonym &#039;complicated&#039; to describe someone which is a complete opposite makes little sense to me. Or perhaps I may not be too sensitive enough to detect the subtle subtleties. 

Heh.

Nevertheless, it was a really entertaining read and I do look forward to more of your writing.


PS: I tend to ignore such people the moment they make the first sentence. I call them real-life trolls and it&#039;s more worthwhile to spend my time thinking about something more productive than waste a second gracing their oddity with your audience.

Srsly.</description>

		<description>Donald is right about that. While a good relationship requires work, the level of effort should be reasonable.</description>

		<description>Years ago once I heard Donald Trump giving relationship advice to men on the Today Show.  It wasn&#039;t too long after he had divorced Ivana :-)  

His advice was to avoid &quot;high maintenance&quot; women.  He probably had a woman like this in mind :-)

		<description>Well .. I get what you are aiming at, and yea it is quite enjoyable at the moments.
But the thing is the real me is a kinda complicated person and as i found him to be nice and sweet i tried to be any simpler to balance up the boat and make it float !
But again as soon as i succeded in being simpler than ever it turned out to be he thinks he is complicated and he with no doubt enjoys it !! 

So there is absloutley no need of me changing who i am as long as he can cope with it ( me being complicated ) as it is his nature too .. right ?

Thanks alot =D</description>

		<description>Oh, it is quite believable. After all, people do not compare love and war for nothing.

My main thought is that if you both see your relationship as a battle and a competition, then I would suspect that neither of you will be happy. If you are trying to &quot;kill him with being cold&quot; and he is trying to hide what he is under being needlessly complicated, then things will probably end badly.

Unless you find the situation enjoyable and healthy, you should try to be the people you really are rather than being caught up in what seems to be a rather unpleasant game. Then again, maybe you are being the people you really are...</description>

		<description>Well .. What if you are dealing with a person who enjoys being complicated!! He is as well very smart but not enough to realise that he is dealing with a person who is as much complicated as him; (and that would be me) =D

We are both trying to prove our selves not easy to get through, complicated and hard to manage and understand!! I seriously dont know why are we doing this,am as well quite aware of how crazy it sounds and how much it makes no sense but i just cant see him win without proving that am just as complicated as him and that i do understand him but he is just not aware of that fact, and doesnt wanna accept it! 

Yes, I do find it crazy and out of order what we both are doing but i just cant help it .. He sounds challenging and i am not the type of girl who would loose a challege !

He seems to be trying his best to prove me how much he is complicated, he wastes lots of effort into it while i simply think that being complicated is what he wants to be and not what he really is.So he is just building up this picture in his mind about himself being complicated and tough and is trying his best to reflect it onto everyone because he thinks that the true him, who is too sweet and nice, might be understood as a weak character.. makes sense? Is it even a valid point?

But yea, as much as he is intresting he drives me insane at times but i never show it. I always make sure to stay calm which i bet annoys him the most !!
And never mind how long its going to take me am not quitting untill i prove him that i can do the same. Be complicated and kill him with being cold!

He is totaly fanatic about being complicated and so am i and the suprising part is that we dont fight over it or find it a problem. We both tend to stay cool and keep on trying to express ourselves.. So, how bad is that?
I just believe that i have to fight him with the same weapon he is using!

Unbelievable !! yea ??</description>

		<description>Well, at least she considers you complex and not complicated. Good luck with finding a new wife.</description>

		<description>My  ex wife found herself sitting beside my Senior Legal Counsel (a very erudite man who she did not know ) on a plane and the conversation eventually ( I suppose ) came around to me. Wife said that SC considers me to be a very complex person. Hence I thought that with a view to improving myself it might be in my best interest to try to determine what that term generally infers  as I am presently looking for a new wife.</description>
