Treating others how you'd like to be treated (even if they're the opposite sex) is a good starting point, then once you know them well, you can put yourselves in their shoes.. I think.

It's all a learning experience, so it's impossible to relate to people without making mistakes along the way, I think. But what Johnny is saying, is that these guys DON'T learn from their mistakes and blame women for the same mistakes over and over.. (some women do too, I've heard)

Whereas guys should learn from their mistakes, and not beat themselves, or women up for their mistakes..

Similar to Thomas Edison saying "I didn't fail 3,000 times. I found 3,000 ways how not to create a lightbulb"

That's a lesson I'm in the process of learning, I think..
