One PIE please ... with some extra "I"


So some of us know what PIE stands for .... yes i am referring to the acronym for Physical, Intellectual, Emotional.

I used to believe that all conflicts/ confusions in a man-woman relationship could be easily explained by the fact that the order of heirarchy among these three needs is totally opposite in men & women. Let me explain. A man needs his PIE aspects to be taken care of in exactly that order - First Physical, then Intellectual and then Emotional. While for a woman, the order is exactly the reverse. For her it is Emotional first , followed by intellectual and then Physical. At least that was what i used to believe (with a few exceptions of course... for me the "I" has always surpassed "E" by zillions of miles..but we are not talkign about me here.)


Was just wondering if this theory still works? I am not sure anymore. 
So is this the new-age world everybody keeps talking about? 

I just hope it means that whatever is the order, its the same for both the sexes. But life isnt that simple, now is it??

I'm just me, so what do I know. But maybe for men the I is less important... And the Emotional and the Physical are pretty much the same: we just need a good hug.

I think that hit the nail on the head. I try to make 'I' matter more, but being a guy, the 'P' is irrepressible..

Actually the order of the PIE is more of CAKE. Can Alter, Keeps Exchanging :P
