17. All men hate to hear "We need to talk." No matter what the subject is, these seven words strike fear in the heart of even General Norman Schwarzkopf.

Because "we need to talk" NEVER, EVER means anything good.

19. Men are brave enough to go to war, but they are not brave enough to get a bikini wax.

At war there are still ways to avoid the pain... not when you're having bikini wax.

20. All men think they're nice guys. Some of them are not. Contact me for a list of names.

Am I on that list? x]

Quote:

23. Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in the winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.

24. Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say "Oh, my g-d, I'm so embarrassed. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo!"

I'm so glad to be another guy, I really am... portable heaters ftw! He doesn't snore though... ... I do. Apparently. >_>. <_<.

25. Most men hate to shop. That is why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.

I hate shopping. So why haven't they moved the electronics department?! >_<

Quote:

30. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.

31. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.

I can vouch for both; when male friends and I meet we talk about gaming... and when I meet up with my female friends it's about our boyfriends/husbands.

32. Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.

Think there should be more. Dissuasive effect.

Quote:

33. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie The Way We Were twice, voluntarily.

Who would want to watch such movies like this the FIRST time anyways? I suffered through my mom's "true stories" and romance movies... at least I don't have to deal with that.

Quote:

37. Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out of the sight of women.

I made that mistake once... I paid for it and will never do it again. *shudder*

Quote:

40. Impulse buying is not macho. Men rarely call the Home Shopping Network.

Why would I even be watching Home Shopping Network? O____o;;...

Quote:

43. Men don't feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because their clothes all button and zip in the front. Women's dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men emotionally and sexually, but we also need men to help us get dressed.

Oh so that's why there are so many male designers...

Quote:

44. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheroes. Women have bad self images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.

Why do I actually believe in this one? O_o;;...

Quote:

46. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause: you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.

After dealing with my mom's... yes, I'm very happy to be in a same-sex relationship.

Quote:

47. Men forget everything. Women remember everything.

48. That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already forgotten what happened.

I forgot what I was gonna say (I forgot it, I'm serious D: )

Japan also has a very low birthrate and a rapidly aging population.

but the birth rate isnt due to condoms---its because women are given a choice ---either work or get married/have kids. Many are picking work now cause they want their louis vanton bags w/o any attachments (spouse).....just means that by 2050 there will be lots of apartments in Tokyo for rent--real cheap!

ps read the list to my husband....he agreed for the most part with both of them.

I think he is trying to find an girlfriend on the forums so he is making himself seem like he understands women so they will flock to him. Maybe?

I'd disagree. I'd put that down to the reasons why men and women go shopping.

Women go shopping for pleasure, and don't usually know exactly what they want to buy. They browse around a lot and try different things before deciding whether they want to buy them or not. This is why women's departments are large and have things spread out - women will be forced to wander around more things that they could be tempted to buy, thus increasing the store's potential for profit.

Men, on the other hand, go shopping with a purpose. They know what they want to buy, which store they need to visit, which shelf/rack it will be on and how much it's going to cost. Men don't browse in the same way and tend to be in and out in 2 minutes flat. Yes, men's departments tend to be right next to the door, but that's mainly because there's no point in making men walk past racks and racks of stuff that they're probably not even going to glance at before they find what they want, pay for it and leave.

That is very true - I worked briefly as a retail consultant (basically) and that is generally the game plan. I know for sure that 95% of the time when I go shopping I have definite ideas of what I'm buying or looking for and I want to get done and get home asap.

All true. Couldn't agree more. Haha.. I can go "shopping" for hours and not buy anything.. looking/trying/exploring is the fun part.
My boyfriend on the other hand.. he knows what he wants and he'll go buy just there at the store he knows it's at.
I'm always like.. "lets go shopping!" and he'll ask me for what? and i'll just answer "I don't know.. anything.." haha.. and he'll just tag a long. ^^

ugh----my hubby wants to go to the book store (or the music store, but that has mostly changed) ANY time---he can be in the book store for HOURS and not buy anything (and not sit and read anything either)-----he hates clothing shopping because he doesnt KNOW what he WANTS....so he cant find it!
I on the other hand, go shopping for a purpose (I usually make a list), I also hate shopping for clothing (cause none of it is made for WOMANs figures--I am NOT a kid who wants to show my mid section

).....I usually buy from catalogues now (geez I am becoming my mom)......

About the only place (besides the bookstore, hey we got together for a reason ya'know), that I like to peruse is the grocery store!! I like to see what new foods are out, see what things I cant find at other stores they might carry---

I like to wander the EB games stores, subtly insulting the people I see at the console sections and leaving them feeling angry without my ever having said anything outrightly rude. I also like to drive through Chinatown (Chinese section of Toronto) with Japanese flags mounted on my car. In short, I troll in real life as well as on forums, though in real life it takes a certain delicacy and caution.

I'm sorry, but if my girlfriend did that to me twice, I'd leave her. It's really no laughing matter. I would never "tag along" shopping no matter who it was.

Earth...

Thank you so much for the humor of Rita Rudner. I miss her on SNL. Women like her don't come along very often. It was much fun to read.

Who knows what the highest IQ ever is or has been. There are so many claims out there, but this is the most frequently perpetuated claim. I suspect it's more 'smart' PR than anything else.
