The conversation on Women

Neal and Jack had a conversation on women at one point in the novel. They always had conversations on women but this night, Neal was more serious and was more enlightened (?) He had this expression as if he understood the world or something. Jack described what Neal was talking about as not understandable but understandable and is very pure. Neal was crying out about how women can never understand what men are thinking. He wished Louanne would believe his eternal love towards her. Jack tells him, Men doesn’t understand women too. Neal responds to this, that the relationship is not that simple. I think it is. Men can never understand women and women can never understand men. Female and male think in a different way, and I personally think it is hard to make female and male understand each other.

ps. I dislike how Neal said Louanne should understand and believe in the eternal love he gives her, when he is always flirting with other ladies.

I would guess that Neal was just being a drama queen, and probably never felt anything real for Louanne.
As well as, I think he has a bit of a superiority complex, as men are not that difficult to understand.
