men are so dumb.

My wife even wants me to talk about my feelings toward hypothetical situations, WTF??

OMG! lol! Guilty as charged. I have totally done this to my husband. I guess I never thought about how weird it might seem to him. :laugh:

Never realized how much of a bad wrap men were getting in the media and entertainment world till I read Bringing up Boys by James Dobson after my son was born. Then I got to watching for it and couldn't believe the attack on men that was going on. Hard pressed to find a man portrayed as anything other than a bumbling fool, being overly feminized, or a womanizing dirtbag on any TV show nowadays.

That was a HUGE eye opener for me as well. I would recommend it to anyone who is raising boys-even if they aren't little anymore. I read it when my only boy was already a teen and let me tell you I treat him differently than I used to. I was saying so many joking things I didn't even realize were just things I had picked up from female family members who really did NOT like men.

Perhaps all these things will become a non issue if we can ever get to a point where it is politically correct to admit that men and women are just both physically and emotionally different and that is actually a good thing we are.

Respect for a lady and the way she sees,interprets and reacts to life will help a guy not be frustrated at times.
Respect for the way a guys outlook and reactions are based on the way his mind works will help deal with misinterpretation of feelings.

Maybe will never happen and right now I don`t see any desire for it in our educational system or mass media.

Agreed.

This^^^ Men and women are different. Their perceptions and reactions are different - doesn't mean one's right and one's wrong. Doesn't mean one feels and one doesn't, they just express differently. When my husband and I don't see eye to eye - this is what we agree on - we're different, and neither of us are wrong in our perceptions.

We aren't mind readers, but we sure try to be.

My husband and I are opposites when it comes to showing emotions. I'm not real emotional, I don't want to talk about things, he on the other hand, wants to talk about everything. But physical emotions... We've been together 3 years and he has seen me cry maybe a handful of times, once when my daughter won the gold buckle for equestrian at special olympics, and the other times were all when I was shipping my best friend back to Florida after a visit (he couldn't understand that at all). He has only cried twice, once watching a video of our daughter before her big accident where she was running around and riding a bike (things that are very difficult for her now) and once at our wedding, I didn't cry at our wedding, he didn't get that either, lol.

We have 2 boys and 4 girls, I tell each of them to suck it up anytime they cry over getting hurt (unless it's bad) or getting their feelings hurt or any other pansy-*kitten* thing they might cry over. When it's something worth crying over, like when the dog died or when their papa got real sick, I let them all cry.

I can't stand meaningless whining, in boys, girls, children or adults.

Men like women who enjoy facials.

The best "facials" in life are free.

I go door-to-door, offering free facials.

TIME FOR THE MFP MALES TO RISE UP AND OVERTHROW THE DOMINANT FEMALE POPULATION!

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

My mom says I am smart.

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.

This week at church I actually heard a 'man' (term used loosely) ask a 9 yr old boy if he was a girl. When the boy replied 'no' then he was told to stop screaming like a girl! This happened as 8 - 10 boys aged 6 - 9 yr were running around, chasing each other, playing tag. I really wanted to smack him in the mouth. I better never hear someone say something like that to my grandson! Boys growing into men need to be able to express themselves just like women. How else can they make it in a marriage?

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."

i understand SOME men are like that (and by the way, so are some women... we're not immune, stupidity is an equal opportunist) but i can honestly say that out of all the males i am close with, every single one of them has had some sort of issue and has gotten emotional/upset about something that wasn't football or money.

I agree with you. There are some in both genders.

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

**takes off helmet**...........huh?
