All women are not insane. Repeat until it actually sinks in.
Are some women crazy? Yes. Are some men crazy? Yes. Are there differences between how people of each gender tend to act that may come across as bizarre, disturbing or insane to people of the opposite gender? Yes.
If you're finding that all the women that you hook up with/date/are interested in all share a set of undesirable commonalities, what you really need to look at is your pre-selection process. If the only commonality in all of these different relationships (using the term in a general sense, not to denote an exclusive dating scenario) is you, the problem most likely lies with you--in the kind of women that you're attracted to, the kind that you pursue, the type of women who are attracted to how you present yourself, ect.
Imar, 100% rationality is impossible for anyone. For one thing, our emotions and preconceptions color everything that we do, hear or see--the idea of rationality/reason encumbered by emotion/passion is a dangerous fallacy. For another, claiming that you are rational is an assertion that you are rational by a specific set of standards, most likely decided upon by yourself (or, if not, by some outside entity. It doesn't matter, though, the same critique applies). Those standards are themselves subjective and do not adhere to any absolute, universal set of conditions. One man's standards for rationality are another man's standards for insanity. Unless you can demonstrate that your definition of rationality was derived from completely rational, objective and unbiased means (an impossibility given the inherently interpretive nature of the human brain--everything that we experience is unconsciously imbued with meaning by our brains. Without this interpretation, we wouldn't be able to function in the world--it's why, when we see a horizontal slab of wood supported by four vertical beams, one at each corner, we see a table rather than an object to which we can assign no function or meaning.), your standards are themselves flawed, thereby negating your claim of being 100% rational.
Very sensible.
