    Haha... that's evil... hey what's the deal with this..

    Women tell us there is something wrong, or there is a problem, but they don't want us to fix it or make things better... they just want to complain about it, and want us to sympathize with them... and when we try to fix the issue, we get in trouble!

    Men are fixers, Women are talkers.

    I really believe in that sense we are just wired differently. A woman voices an opinion simply to voice it and for it to be recognised. A man, when he does decide to voice it (as his final option!) does so because he has tried every other way and can't do it alone :p

    Women want to be heard, understood. Men want to be admired, appreciated and worshipped.

    It's rarely a mistake for a woman to "worship at the throne." But when we are always telling him what a stud he is, while we are faking enjoyment? Lying is a mistake!

    Yup... lying is not good... but it is nice for a man to feel appreciated... but then again, a woman wants that too...

    Try for years to change everything in her man's life that she doesn't like
    And after that years, speaks sadly, "You have changed so much, i think you are not the one i was in love with before"

    BlackVY: hehe oh there might be. Geez I hope... ;)

    Btw I got a funny email from a friend of mine today:

    (1)FineThis is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.


    (2)Five Minutes:If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.


    (3)Nothing:This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.


    (4)Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

    (5)Loud Sigh:This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

    (6)That's Okay:This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

    (7)Thanks:A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' that will bring on a 'whatever').

    (8)Whatever:Is a woman's way of sayingF--YOU!

    (9)Don't worry about it, I got it:Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

    You know what's hilarious? This is really true. And yesterday I was complaining because my wrist hurt. I was going to wait until I got home to put on my brace because I forgot it. Well the guy at work was telling me to rearrange my whole work area thinking it would be more ergonomic. Like raise my chair, move my keyboard, mouse, computer screen. I looked him and said, "oh I'm just complaining, I wasn't looking for suggestions." we both just started laughing.

    Tru... from the last few posts, I've observed something...

    If women were lot more straight-forward and told men what they really mean, or gave them a warning before a female instinct kicks in, things would be a lot better for men and women... ie: telling us when you are just complaining, not looking for a solution, or when nothing means something, or when go ahead means don't u dare...

    I mean not all men are smart enough to decipher this code women have... and we don't all know how a woman's mind works... I know its fun for women to confuse the hell out of men, but maybe once in a while, you could cut us some slack and tell it like it is... just a suggestion... thanks... :)

    I don't think that women are the only confusing ones, you men are hard to figure out too. ;)

    Communication is key, if both sides say what they think, tell how they feel, let it be known what they like and dislike, then there are less problems.

    The thing is, most couples don't want to talk about negative things because they think it brings negativity into the relationship. So they remain quiet, soon they start to resent the other person "if he/she really loved me s/he'd know this bothers me" and then they get angry. If both parties had just talked about it from the beginning it would have been okay.

    Talk, talk, talk, it really is the most important aspect of any relationship.

    It's pretty cool, actually that women and men are so different in the way they see things. Relationships are everything. So relating is what we seek to master. What is sad is that some feel that there is only one way to communicate... Everything else is other people's crap.

    My pet rock and I still have plenty in common. The talking is all one way though. When the rock has something to say, it's crap, so no one listens. Women are less like rocks than they used to be in Western society.

    I couldn' help but post these in regards to women and men...

    When Dan found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. So one evening he went to a singles bar where he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
    "I may look like just an ordinary man," he said as he walked up to her, "but in just a week or two, my father will die, and I'll inherit 20 million dollars."
    Impressed, the woman went home with him that evening and, three days later, she became his stepmother.

    Women are so much smarter than men..

    AND...

    SHORT STORY

    Man driving down road.
    Woman driving same road...
    They pass each other...
    The woman yells out the window, PIG!
    Man yells back out window, B I T C H!
    Man rounds next curve.
    Crashes into a HUGE PIG in middle of road and dies.
    Thought for The Day: If only men would listen......

    No matter what, I still love you guys!

    Hmmm, so now the problem is that a woman doesn't train her dog properly? Well ladies, just hope that you live with a Retriever(easily trained) and not an Afghan Hound(stubborn). Be firm, confident and consistent, yet loving and patient in order to build trust and obedience. If necessary use stand over tactics to show them who's boss. And when you take them out, make sure they're always a step behind you.
    You should have them eating out of your hand in no time. :D

    And to show that I love you guys, here's one for you...

    A store that sells husbands has just opened in Dallas, TX, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a
    Description of how the store operates.

    "You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down Except to exit the building!"

    So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.. .

    On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have
    Jobs.

    The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
    The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and
    Are extremely good looking. "Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep
    Going.

    She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs,
    Love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. "Oh,
    mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

    Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads: Floor 5 - These men
    Have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and
    Have a strong romantic streak.

    She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign
    Reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no
    Men on this floor.. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
    Impossible to please. Thank you for shopping!

    Roxypox that is so funny and yet so incredibly true.
    I don't understand how men just don't get it. I use some of those expressions and my boyfriend simply can't grasp where I'm coming from, which usually leads to an argument later on.
