Mulva???
Correct analyses followed by really, really bad responses.
The "planning a diary is for two" suggestion is a good way to change the problem to "planning a Diary for one."
It really doesn't matter what she is wearing, unless they are having an affair...and then, Everything Looks Great On Her!
Like they said in Dumb and DUmber....My last girlfriend said the reasons she left me were because I didn't listen to her and....something else, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention...
I'm Guilty.
The man who understands #2 and #3 can easily navigate through a lot of problems. In essence: shut up and think about your problems while she is talking about hers, remembering to look interested and nod sympathetically once in a while. You'll both be happy. ;)
Uh... Hey girls!
Now that you know we don't like inane chit-chat, CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND and for heaven's sake, get out from in front of the TV!!!
Women have the reflection trick down cold. Usually when they are standing within twenty feet or so they will be working so hard not to look directly at you that it's obvious (and pretty funny), but if you look at the nearest angled window or other reflective surface a lot of times you'll catch her looking quickly away. ;)
Oh my god...I am a MAN, baby!!!
I just can't seem to learn to be annoying like most other women.
(sigh)

When it comes to women, resistance is futile.
You know, if men started writing columns about what women do "wrong", there would be a sh*tload of shrieking and whining. Once you understand that men and women think differently and respond differently, there really is no problem. I don't want my husband to "act" like a woman and respond as a woman.
Speak for yourself lady. To me the perfect phone call consists of me saying "Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Ok, love you, bye"
#'s 1,2,3,4 & 7. Still in remedial training...

2. You come to us with a problem, we suggest a solution. Why is that a problem? Also see #1.
3. We're thinking about a problem. We know women will suggest talking when what needs doing is fixing. Whay is that a problem? Also see #1.
4. If we find our own why we will remember the geography. If we ask we will just get lost in this area again next time. Why is this a problem?
5. Why is this a problem?
6. First they want us to talk. So we talk. Then we're not supposed to talk in front of others. Make up your mind.
7. Don't ask so many questions, I won't tell you so many lies. Why is this a problem?
My late husband and I had these type phone converstations all the time. Our longest conversation was probably 10 mins when the furnace went down and he was out of town. He told me how to deal with the situation and we hung up. Not all women like to talk on the phone, and I'm one of them. Say what needs to be said and hang up. Guess my brain is wired wrong.

But many of the mistakes men make are due to their not knowing they are mistakes in the first place. We only do them because our brain works differently from the female brain.
Ergo, anything in which a man acts like Not a Woman is a "mistake".
Ergo, all men should all act like women, all the time -- just ask the women.
Riiiiiiiiight!
