Continuing the tread of Opposite Gender threads, what are some things you just don't understand about them?

For instance, why does the fairer sex always shout "Oh I gotta PEE!"

Usually when looking me right in the eyes

Pretty sure that's just you.

Why women want equal rights
(big joke...)

They can touch me, but if I do the same they start to wince or glare (but not always sometimes I get positive reactions). Fething double standards.

I swear, I have at least ONE do it no matter where I go! Elementary I had a girl do that, High school I had a girl do that, and where I currently live I have a girl doing that.

That last one was the only one I asked out, and she seems to be sending mixed signals.

Nothing really. I can't think of any properties wholly unique to the "Opposite" Gender (for what little that means), confusing or otherwise.

You can not, or there is someone of the Opposite Gender looking over your shoulder so you will not?

*Tinfoil hat*

The completely unreal obcession with shoes.
You only NEED 3 pairs at most: Work, Dress, Sneakers.

How about their inability to turn a damn light off. I came home from work today and my fiancee and her sister were in the living room, watching tv.

With the 3 table lamps on, the overhead cieling fan light on, the dining room light on, the kitchen lights on (including the under the cabinet lights)

The light in the hall way, the light in the laundry room, the light in the guest bedroom, all of the light in the guest bathroom.... etc etc..

Sufficie it to say I pointed out to her that there was only three lights in the whole house not on.

The light in my walk in closet, the light in the stairwell and the light in the refrigerator.

TURN OFF THE DAMN LIGHTS WOMAN!

I can think of a few. There's several idiosyncrasies you could come up with related to menstruation alone. Watch the commercials they play on TLC when some of those pregnancy shows are on and see if you don't come up with a couple of observations. Honestly, the PCness is exhausting at times.

OT:

Their general propensity to talk. Constantly. About things I really don't care about.

Hm, they never look me in the eye from what I recall, but I hear "I gotta pee" way too damn often.

But to add some substance to the thread, I don't understand the way their evil little fickle minds work. Sending out mixed signals, etc. and engaging in psychological warfare that puts even the CIA/US Army, etc. to shame.

Insane jealousy.... My last gf had this in spades. I would say hello to a woman I knew from work and as soon as we were alone, she was asking if I was sleeping with her.

I know what you mean, man. There was this girl who was staring at me, so I thought she liked me, but when I asked her out, nope, I am the devil given flesh, apparantly.

Consider that I was living with the gf at the time and work nights 40+hours a week.... when would I have had the time for basically every other woman that recognised me from work?

Maybe she thought you were on the job on the job?

Their codes. Keywords to drop in conversations, secretive looks that mean "meet me in the hallway in 10 minutes so we can discuss our true feelings", special phrases that mean special things. Guys can't do that.

Fat women with perfect hair and make up.

Do you not understand that a non obese woman with a ponytail and no make up looks better than you?

I am confused by this thread.

Ergo, this thread is classified a female and therefore will be confusing.

Reminds me of a joke my oldman used to tell:

Dad: Why don't women ever fart?

Me: Huh? I dunno. Why?

Dad: They don't shut up long enough to build up any pressure.

How their telephone conversations go on FOREVER even after they've already said 'bye' to each other around 5 @!$%ing times!

I do that with women to be fair, saying goodbye always seems a good topic of conversation.

What I will never understand is the double standards.

That's a matter of taste. I've dated plenty of larger ladies, and none of them were lonely before me. And somebody is buying all those magazines and videos. I'd take a well groomed, fashionable big girl any day of the week.

There is a difference between big and fat.


That is fat.

And this is big..




Personally...I don't understand most females (at least the ones I know) obsession with...

A) Reality TV shows.
B) Getting involved in other peoples business.

...Perhaps there is some connection between the two.

Nice tagteam there future me

Always happy to help out past me.

I also don't understand why anyone of the opposite sex would post here, unless its to drag their husbands away from this hell hole and back into a healthy and productive life elsewhere.
