men are so dumb.

Whew! For a minute, I thought you really did think men were dumb!

I'm so glad that wasn't true! It's time we start telling them what they do right! :flowerforyou:

If I don't get a clear description of "cooter-pepper" with an accompanying diagram I may not be able to sleep tonight.

I would thank you, but I think I'm actually more confused now. :huh:

Men aren't dumb. Every male in my family is college educated -- even my brother is finally a graduate student working on his masters in Education (he's copying me -- the *kitten*!). So, why do so many people think such obviously stereotypical things?

Want to hear a funny story about a little brother who is a graduate student, has been a social science teacher for 6 years, and has an IQ of 138?

FLASHBACK: Summer of 2005

"Mike, mom wants us to get the garage swept up. Here, take this." I handed him a broom with a long branch taped to the handle.
"What is THIS for?" he asked.
"Well, we need to get the cobwebs up there, and I think this is safer than trying to stand on the top part of the ladder -- the part that says 'This is not a step,' right?"
He stood there, motionless, apparently deep in thought.
"I have a better idea!" he said, and ran into the house. About a minute later, he came in with a box of matches.
"Oh, this won't lend itself to any positive result, man. Don't do it." I said, instantly knowing what he was thinking.
"Trust me -- they'll be gone in seconds!" he said as he lit a cobweb that had managed to string itself down along the back of the wall, behind the washing machine.

I've never seen a fire spread so quickly in my whole life. It was something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The fire spread over 70% of the garage ceiling in a matter of 5 seconds. I ran into the kitchen and took the fire extinguisher from the water heater cabinet, and then ran back into the garage. I had never used one before, but I managed to figure it out and shot it all over the ceiling. Unfortunately, it also fell back down onto a lot of important documents that were in boxes on the garage shelves.
"Holy s*** Renee, what did you do?!" He screamed.
"Saved the house?" I asked sarcastically.
"You are in so much trouble!"
"Wait... what?"
"Look what you did to their stuff!" he said, horrified.
"Yeah.... Look what I did. Uh-huh. Okay, I'm going to go home. Tell me how it goes."
"What? You have to stay and tell them what you did or you'll be in trouble!"
"Really? I don't live here -- you do." I laughed.

My mother called me and thanked me for probably saving the house. She said that, according to Mike, if I had just let the fire go, it would have died out once the cobwebs were burned up. Considering some of the beams were blackened, she thought maybe my judgement was a little more accurate.

I went home and told my boyfriend at the time about the incident. He was an engineer for Lockheed Martin. After hearing the story, he said "Why didn't you let the fire just go? I think it would have burned itself out after the cobwebs were gone."

Maybe it only refers to men who are "growers" instead of "showers" but otherwise just to women, since women are "innies" and men are (except for flaccid "growers") "outies."

this woman was like "men aren't that deep, they don't have feelings."

I've not really got time to read the whole thread but the friend that is mentioned in the original post is clearly wrong.

In modern history* and in current times men have been/are poets, artists, songwriters, performers, as well as sensitive carers and teachers. Women do not have the monopoly on feelings or even expressing those feelings, just as men do not have the monoploy in design, construction, invention, and hunter gathering.

* it is a fair point that men dominated the arts in the last century but that is more likely to be due to circumstance and opportunity rather than an intrinsic natural advantage.

Men are trained to not have feelings. Ever hear someone say quit being a sissy and stop crying to a boy. No one would ever say that to a girl.

well said..

Yet another thread bashing large segments of society. Knock it off. It's dumb.

Did you even bother to read what she wrote? It seems not.
She's free to post want she wants, and no one truly wants to read your negative comments if they're not at all constructive, so "knock it off, it's dumb."

Of course men have feelings, and they are socially conditioned NOT to outwardly express them. But another aspect of this that I don't think either sex really attempts to understand is that men are not GENERALLY as perceptive as women when it comes to other people's feelings.

Women hear what a person says, but we also pick up on clues from facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice to figure out the best way to respond when a husband/boyfriend, friend, relative, etc., appears to be upset or to need or want something from us. And we tend to expect the people in our lives to do the same thing for us ... that is, to know us well enough that they don't have to ask in order to know that something is wrong.

Men are far more concerned with what you actually say because, to them, "I don't care" or "I'm fine" is not a logical response when you DO care or when you're not fine. It doesn't mean they are unfeeling if they actually need you to say what you want. In fact, a lot of men probably think women who insist on testing people and playing mind games instead of just being honest are unfeeling.

Men have feelings just as women do. I'm not sure if it's how people are raised, how society molds people, or what, but I have seen a general trend (not all) that women seem to express their emotions more than men do. Doesn't mean they don't have them. Some of my best friends are men but I never really saw them express any emotion until I really knew them beyond a "hey, hello" relationship.

i get emotional about soccer. i'm not dumb!

Just saw this, and I've heard enough, I might be in love haha

Playing AND watching!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllll! I love watching it on the spanish channel. They get so much more excited.

hehe

Haha I agree 100%. Growing up my family never had cable, so we watched every world cup on the spanish channel. I still miss it sometimes and have to switch back to it lol.

Men aren't that deep and don't have feelings, which is why women can manipulate those feelings so well.

Or ... something ...

flimflamfloz

i read something on a message board today that really bothered me. basically this woman was like "men aren't that deep, they don't have feelings."

And yet she is attracted to this kind of men apparently... Since it would seem she meets (or perhaps "notice"?) only this type of men!

Well guys you know what you've got to do! Just play along and don't have (show) feelings.

HauteP1nk

People who say such generalized comments are close minded. Or maybe she was just hurt by a man recently.....who knows.

A lot of men have been taught to bottle their emotions and 'take it like a man'...but I have seen my fiance be vulnerable many times in the last 10 years that I have known him.

ImSoPerfectlyFlawed

I'm in between on this. Men are so beautfiul and we need them. But, I honestly don't get them. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus is soooooooooooo true. i stopped trying to figure it out...because I would stay pissed and in a funk if I did. They are so simple....yet so complexed! But eh, I bet they would say the same about us....LMAO!

Amen-simple yet sooooo complex

Well stated.
It is in our basic nature to try to protect a lady and to make things right so all our focus is on determining the details of the problem so we can try to fix it.
