[BTW You'll be a lot happier if you don't try to always understand the "mystery" of women.]
I call foul! It is not men that seek to understand women. Men gave up and work within the parameters of the unknown. Man invented the "shrug" to deal with the mysteries of women.
On the other hand, men are as simple creatures as there can be. My wife wants asked me while on a vacation drive, "What are you thinking?" I explained to here that I was wondering where you would find a replacement bumper for a '68 corvette and what it would cost. She asked me why I had to be a smart Xss. I was confused. Do not over complicate our thoughts, intentions, what we say or why we do what we do.
No problem, LOL

You forgot the ever popular "Uh-hu", or "Yes Dear" responses for the one sided yakfest she is carrying on with you while you are lost in your own thoughts.
