The Men Vs Women Thread

[2 of 3]

Ok...let's face it...we'll never figure each other out.....but lets try. Let's start a list, and really say what we think.

Ladies:

1. Yes, it's true. We really do only think about one thing. It's not our fault. We are wired to think that way. If we didn't, we'd never take a bath or brush our teeth. Pretty good trade off if you think about it.

2. We really don't want big hootered blonde's. If fact if you ask most men, they will say they don't like fake boobs at all. Frankly, we are happy with just about anyone who doesn't yell at us.

3. Yes, it's true...we really don't have to cut the lawn 3 times a week. We ARE hiding.

4. Yes, we are hypnotized when passing the power tool section of any store. If fact, it's one of the few time we aren't thinking about sex.

5. Yes, we did put the dirty cloths in the hamper. There are at least 4, Make your wife mad Gremlins in every home. Setting traps for the little buggers doesn't work...though, most power tool sections of any store will be sold out of the DIY book " How to build a trap to catch the make your wife mad Gremlin's "

6. Yes, we like your mother. Yes we do. Yes we do...Yes we do...Yes we do...

7. Yes, there is ALWAYS a game on.

8. No....you do NOT look fat in that dress!

9. If we say we love you....IT"S BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!!....ok, maybe topic one does factor in to that.....but we still do!!

10. Yes, we did notice you got your hair done...we're just envious you can still do that.

I'll add a couple...

11. When we are sitting at dinner, and I'm blankly staring off into space, don't ask me what I'm thinking...I'll say, "Nothing". Take me at my word: If I say I wasn't thinking of anything at that moment, it's because I wasn't.

12. Please do not ask us if another female is pretty or cute....we will be forced to decide whether we'll answer honestly or not. In most cases, honesty is NOT the best policy.

Ok guys, this is from my perspective and some of my thoughts aren't necessarily the thoughts of other women. Besides, I've been told I am not quite the "typical" woman..... right Merv?

1. Yes, it's true. We really do only think about one thing.

1.   Men and women think about the same things in this respect and probably as often, it’s just that women have other thoughts mixed in amongst this thought.

2.   If we tell you about a problem we are having, we don’t want you to “fix” it, we want you to lend a sympathetic ear and just listen to us. We may need to just unload the stress of it so it won’t burden us so much to think about.

3.   If we tell you a guy is flirting with us, we aren’t necessarily asking you to go kick his ass so he will stop.

4.   Most of us believe it is possible to be attracted to a man and be no more than friends with him.

5.   All women have wild emotions, but it takes a strong woman to know when to take control of those emotions and not let them rule her.

6.   At NO time of the month is Midol a cure for anything.  All women experience some sort of PMS, but just because we have a “bitchy” moment doesn’t always mean its PMS related.  It is most likely just a “bitchy” moment. Besides, we believe men experience their own form of “PMS” from time to time too.

7.   We know that men gossip as much as women do. The conversations men have about women are the same conversations we have about men.

8.   A good sense of humor in a man will always catch a woman’s attention. It is very attractive.

9.   We love a man who is emotionally strong but can and is willing to express his feelings with us.

10.   Most women like to talk. We tell stories to get around to the point most of the time. All we want you to do is be patient and listen to what we have to say….. even if you don’t think what we are saying is relevant to the topic.

11.   Listening is the key. If we know we’ve been heard, you will most likely not have to “hear” it again.

12.   We aren’t always right about everything, but we love a man who is willing to admit when we are.

1.   Men and women think about the same things in this respect and probably as often, it’s just that women have other thoughts mixed in amongst this thought. we do too, if you must know...like...whats for dinner.

2.   If we tell you about a problem we are having, we don’t want you to “fix” it, we want you to lend a sympathetic ear and just listen to us. We may need to just unload the stress of it so it won’t burden us so much to think about. we don't really listen so much as hope that we nod approvingly at all the right moments

3.   If we tell you a guy is flirting with us, we aren’t necessarily asking you to go kick his ass so he will stop. we are cave men, after all (albeit slightly cleaned up)..what do you expect?

4.   Most of us believe it is possible to be attracted to a man and be no more than friends with him. waaaaahaaaaahaaa...cough..wheeew

5.   All women have wild emotions, but it takes a strong woman to know when to take control of those emotions and not let them rule her. this i believe. recent scientific studies have begun refering these times as 4:13 pm every wednesday

6.   At NO time of the month is Midol a cure for anything.  All women experience some sort of PMS, but just because we have a “bitchy” moment doesn’t always mean its PMS related.  It is most likely just a “bitchy” moment. Besides, we believe men experience their own form of “PMS” from time to time too. gee, i cannot for the life of me figure out what in the world you are talking about

7.   We know that men gossip as much as women do. The conversations men have about women are the same conversations we have about men. thats cute...it really is...but if you knew what we were really talking about...the side of our head would be shaped a whole lot more like a frying pan

8.   A good sense of humor in a man will always catch a woman’s attention. It is very attractive. what is the difference between broccoli and boogers? kids don't eat broccoli

9.   We love a man who is emotionally strong but can and is willing to express his feelings with us. i'm tired...and hungry

10.   Most women like to talk. We tell stories to get around to the point most of the time. All we want you to do is be patient and listen to what we have to say….. even if you don’t think what we are saying is relevant to the topic.  we are most glad to listen to what you have to say...as long as we are holding the remote control...and you are not standing in front of the tv

11.   Listening is the key. If we know we’ve been heard, you will most likely not have to “hear” it again. okay...the commercial is on...what did you say?

12.   We aren’t always right about everything, but we love a man who is willing to admit when we are. its is almost poetic the way you point out my flaws, honeybunch

I just want to point out, that the original list was 10, and the only female to reply so far, has come up with 12. Just sayin'


and chris....thank goodness for that non stick coating on frying pans these days eh?

[lampie1970]

I have nothing to add just now, but will ponder it over the next couple of days, but for now let me just say: What she said!!

[mommasturn]

you have read chris's reply, so you know what I am dealing with right?

i need to spend some quality time responding to this one. So in twenty years when i get to retire, i should be able to find a few hours.

but guys just remember this it is a huge turn on when you do housework without being asked and even more sexy when you do it without letting us know so we can realize that it magically got done.

 
hey did someone just take out the recycling? See you all later I gotta go give someone some sugar!
