What is Wrong with Men?

What is it with men that they seem incapable of answering a straight question? I come across it frequently. It comes in several forms, one being, they say something you find interesting, you ask them a question about it, and it’s like you never asked. They ignore the question, and go on with something else.
Another one: you ask for clarification on something they say to you, and they respond with drivel that has nothing to do with your question.
I wasted the best part of my prime years with a man who played mind games with me. Trying to get answers was like pulling teeth. It was exhausting. Now when a man wants me to jump through hoops to get an answer, he’s out of luck. Been there, done that, no more patience with it.
I’ve met one woman like this, so it’s not just men, but from personal experience, they are the worse.

I have found that at times too. I am a very direct person and maybe that is off putting? I would rather just know than have to figure it out.
@ravenwind43 That's the key, right there. Communication on both parts. Neither are remind readers. If they think so, that's when things get sticky and complicated. Then they wonder why.

@ravenwind43 Right. If I ask someone the time, I don’t want to hear 3-weeks next Saturday as the answer. Not that this is a real Q&A, but an analogy of what I’m talking about here. It’s not even personal questions.
