Understand?

5 May 2007

Whilst recently in the chatroom, I made a comment that I havent got a clue what to wear to my social confused

Now with the weather being pretty good here in London recently I said that I cannot decide between summery casual or dressed up/smart casual :?
I got the reply " now only a woman would understand the difference between summery casual and dressed up/smart casual" :shock: :giggle:
I thought it was quite easy to understand. Obviously not though. The comment came from a man and it got me to thinking about things we dont understand, things that puzzle us about the opposite sex, both men and women.
What dont you understand about the opposite sex?
What puzzles you the most?
Things they say, things they do.
For me, id say one of the things that puzzles me the most about the opposite sex is gadgets, why do most men love gadgets so much?
So many gadgets, only used once or twice at the most rolleyes

then stuck in the cupboard to gather dust until the next spring clean, when you throw them away and then they ask where they are because they want to use them :doh:

Im sorry cant help you with your wanting to understand men and gadgets. Possibly the fact that there is some pleasure in holding and playing with something that fits snuggly in the hand dunno

What I would like to know is why women can spend so long on the bloody telephone talking what is ostensibly bollox :lol2: . Then a day later pick up the phone to the same person and do it all again ??? confused

What's not to understand about shoes?? dunno

I bought my 111th and 112th pairs last week... nothing difficult to understand... I couldn't decide between the brown ones or the black ones so I bought both! Easy! biggrin

Women and shoes go together like salt and pepper! :D
I don't understand why men don't understand our love of shoes! lol

The female obsession with shoes is very easy to understand, once you know the cause.
It's a neurological disorder caused by chromosomal deficiency. This results in a progressive (and sadly irreversible) dementia. They simply forget that they've got three thousand pairs in the wardrobe already, and when confronted with a new pair think "Ooh, I need some shoes!".
This explains the phone calls and nagging as well. The poor dears simply don't remember what information they've already communicated, and must repeat the same things over and over.
It's the only possible explanation.

I can never understand why some woman go from zero to ballistic in no seconds flat and then will quite happily stay pissed off for days instead of talking it through and being happy.

Saying yes when they really mean no.
Or vice-versa.

You mean you're a guy and you actually talk about things? You don't just sit and watch the tv and grunt from time to time?

>>>looks at post count redface

Anyone who knows me will be aware that i can talk bollucks on the phone for hours on end without a problem so it isnt just a woman thing, us men do it too!
I've found with alot of women that if i piss them off they wont say a word at the time, i will either have to ask why they are so quiet or suddenly two days later i'll have my head violently ripped off because their fuse has suddenly blown. That i dont understand.
I actually understand women alot more then i understand men......
Like why are men so obsessed with football? why do you sleep with men when you say your straight? (number 9 wink

) whats wrong with being open and intimate? etc etc
Just realised i may in fact be a woman....

Ive never understood the drastic time sensitive nature of washing up .

7 May 2007

I have never understood why women insist that the drying up of dishes must be done.....why cant they just do the male thing and leave it to dry!?

No thats fairly easy to work out Ian. Whats more confusing is the "No, its fine, it doesn't matter" redface

I never understood why my ex would absoultely refuse to stop for a coffee in town, with the justification being that we would have one at home.
Since I made the coffee at home and the barista makes it in the coffee shop, what was the difference to him?????? Big difference to me though.
Never got the girlie shoe thing though - never had more than 5 pairs and one of them is hiking boots. Mind you, I love gadgets too - - - - OMG I'm a MAN!!!!!!
