    why doesnt my woman (wife) cook by smell? Her line of thinking is when I can smell the cookies, they are done. Yeah, but when you finally smell them downstairs, they've been done for 10 minutes...hence the charcol black bottoms on the cookies...

    An no, the smoke alarm is NOT a timer!!!!

    Ahahahhhhahahahah!

    Why women keep eating junkfood, then make threads about how to stop eating junkfood.

    My man -

    He cannot come to terms with why I always need to use 2 towels when I shower. After my shower, I need one for my hair, and one to wrap around my body while I do my make up. Duh.

    He also cannot come to terms with the spaceship like attachment at the end of my blow drier.

    What else?

    I just use one. Dry off then wrap my hair and do my make-up naked, I think my hubby likes that better lol.

    My husband doesn't seem to understand the towels need to be folded a certain way or they just don't fit right in the linen closet!


    fold in half the long way, fold in half again, then tri-fold it?

    YES!! YOU'VE GOT IT!! Why doesn't anyone else in my family know that?

    Okay i am gonna have to side with men on somethings....

    I personally do not understand why women write on their eyes with little pencils.
    Why they add EXTRA eyelashes
    How it takes them 3 hours to get ready
    And why they spend so much time on their hands and feet which nobody sees anyways

    Thats not true.....many of women have successful websites of just their hands and/or feet.......

    This is something that holds true for me, If I ask a man "where is the drill?" or socket wrench set or hammer or whatever tool that I need that you like to keep track of, it is because I don't know where it is and I need to fix something with that particular tool. I am not asking YOU to fix it... I want to fix it, and I want to do it my way and I want it done now, with the tool that I had originally intended to fix it with. I like fixing things and I am mechanically inclined and I take great pride in the fact that, yes, I might want to cut down that tree with a hand saw and not a chain saw, or I might want to change the oil in my own car or replace the spark plug in the mower. I really, really, really don't want you to do it, I just need to know where'd you put my tools!!!

    Why its great to be a man:

    1. Shoes never hurt our feet
    2. We can go to the bathroom alone
    3. We get to be President
    4. Nothing we wear makes us look fat
    5. 50 outfits, one pair of shoes
    6. The world is our urinal.

    Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. :laugh:

    Carry one.

    I like your humour.. keep it coming!

    My husband just can't wrap his mind around that sometimes when I say "no", I really do mean no and I'm not just trying to play some sexual torture mind game with him.

    When I ask him to do things for me, it is purely because I'm being lazy or I consider whatever "it" is to be a man's job. It's not because 'I can't do it' like he thinks.

    It's his job to go downstairs when I hear something fishy because on the off chance there is something or someone down there, he has a better chance of survival. lol

    That the world doesn't stop for us when we get sick.

    My boyfriend has had a minor cold all week and you would think that he just had surgery to have his spine and good sense removed.

    Yes. You have a sore throat and don't feel well.
    Yes. I will take care of you and feed you.

    No, I will not pick up the remote and change the channel for you every 30 seconds because its 'just too heavy'.

    My husband does not understand why I felt the urge to buy a pink tool bag. Especially since I am not overly fond of pink. But, now when I need to know where tools are, I don't have to look. They are in my tool bag, which he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. :laugh:

    He does not understand that I feel there is a right and wrong way to load the dishwasher, or why certain things have to be organized a very specific way- in fact, he thinks it's funny to move things and drive me nuts. :grumble: :bigsmile:

    He also can't seem to figure out why saying "good morning boobies" and groping me is NOT the same thing as saying "good morning" or "I love you" And I can't figure out how to explain that to him. I asked him how he would feel if I ignored him and just groped his crotch instead... he seemed to think it would be a good idea. :bigsmile:

    I must be a guy or something...

    It takes me 5 minutes to get ready to go somewhere (I was often ready before my ex). I don't wear makeup. I sleep with ONE pillow. I take 15 minute showers. I don't own a hair dryer. Oh, and I watch sports. Heh.

    Edit: I also dislike both shopping and talking on the phone :laugh:

    Maybe this is why I'm always just considered "one of the guys"? :embarassed:

    how to put dishes in the sink instead of next to the sink or hell in the dishwasher would be amazing

    to empty the food off the plate into the garbage instead of on the counter for hours getting hard as heck to get off or the cats jump up to see /eat

    if you put yur clothes in a random pile next to the laundry basket mixed with your work and other clean clothes im not going to know whats what and will not clean any of it.

    that if its pouring rain / a blizzard / natural disaster outside i dont want to walk 30 min to the grocery store to get you cans of coke... drive me you lazy *kitten*

    *Waves from the other side of the boat* So irritating when your trying to get stuff done, like cooking, I'm clearly cooking, don't grope the cook!! *Inserts angry face here*
