Women cannot comprehend just HOW simple men really are. IT seems like a joke to them. It's like that common moment when the wife says "what are you thinking about?" and the husband says "nothing". She feels pushed away, like he doesn't want her in his private world.

Truth is, much of the time we are thinking about nothing.

Truth is, much of the time we are thinking about nothing.

Or sex, sports, or what to eat next.

"Truth is, much of the time we are thinking about nothing."

One of my favorite scenes from Seinfeld is when Jerry and George are talking about how much brain power men use in thinking about sex.

Jerry holds up a large head of lettuce. He says, "Imagine that this head of lettuce is the brain of a normal human male."

Then he pulls off one small leaf from the lettuce and says, "this is the part of the male brain that is not used in thinking about sex."

What a great show.

i UNDERSTAND your point.

However, it is a difficult discipline to learn to think of absolutely 0.00000000000000000!

The wife, as often as not, would be glad to receive a running commentary of . . .

Welll, actually, I was just feeling real glad and comfortable that my last crotch scratch felt so good. And then I was wondering whether I wanted to shoot some baskets with John or watch the game but kind of decided that I was too lazy to move. But then I know I'm going to need to pee soon so I guess I'll go pee and get some cranberry juice for my water works and come back and watch the game. But then I was wondering how you'd feel about that and a little worried that I should think of something to include you. But I'm so clueless any more as to how to help you feel happy that seemed like a no win road to go down before I started so I kind of felt all the more like retreating into a game.

If course, more of an androgenous man might have said all that. An average man might have thought a lot of that but most wouldn't have articulated near as much of that into words. It would have been more impressions felt at a "grunt" and "hmmmm" sort of verbal level . . . which makes "nothing" sometimes about as accurate a word as one will get from a lot of somewhat 'preverbal' men.

LMAO!!! You are so right! We just can't believe that anyone is even capable</> of that feat.

Yep... most of time we don't have a thought on our minds. The rare time we do, its about the thing below our waist that has a mind of its own LOL
