8. I respectfully disagree.
I think we're way more complex than we're given credit for, but due to societal constraints - ooooh! boobies!!!! - I'm sorry, what was the question again?

from a pool of relative strangers on a message board will have any applicability to the individuals we love or the relationships we've formed with them.

19. Hmmm, if men think about sex every 7 seconds, let's see,
that's 60 seconds in a minute divided by 7 = 8.57 times per minute, and if each thought is ~7 seconds, it doesn't seem like there'd be much left to figure out. :evilgrin:

It's the other way around for me. I can't figure out men at all. Call me dumb but, you male people are a complete puzzlement to me.

25. Things to know about men? They like sex. A lot. End of story..
so what more do we need to ask?

Their entire world revolves around sex.

Just put everything regarding men into that context, and all problems are solved.

26. ok...honest answer this time
It's not that I don't have questions about how men think or why men do some of the things I see them do. The vast majority of my friends are guys and I find them endlessly fascinating.

It's just that when I have a question about male behavior I do three things. First I sit down and think about what my motivation would be for doing the same thing...see, I don't believe men and women are all that different when you boil it right down. Second I talk to my guy friends about it to get their perspective. And third if possible I talk to the actual man in question.

I think this strategy results in a better "answer" than asking on a message board usually would. :shrug:

30. Oh I can make it even MORE simple for you. Just put any question you have
into play with the whole sex angle.

Men base all motivations on sex and propegation of the species.

Willing to bet you cannot find any action by a man not based on sex or propegation of the species.

And we love them for it.

36. I do not believe that way for a second
Like I said, I have a lot of guy friends and I know them pretty well. I don't for one second believe everything they do is based on sex and the propogation of the species.

If that's true...explain golf. ;-)

52. Thank you. I am validated, once again. Golf is ALWAYS thinking about sex
and that's why we love him.

He exudes that non-threatening sexuality where you don't know if you want to hug and kiss him or arm wrestle him.

55. men...
What men want to tell women...


1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, just put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the
hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared
to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or Monster trucks.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
Couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like
camping.

56. no actually that's pretty good.
When I do marital therapy with clients ( very infrequently), I often tell them that the cartoon Kathy is a pretty good description of the fact that many men are just not analyzing the information and the emotions the way that women are. I think I'll bookmark this, because this includes a lot of the things my husband says when I complain that he can't read my mind! Thanks

43. Because, just like women, men are individuals
I have had my share of males in my life that have sure given me reason to not be able to figure them out or their motivations, but I don't think I could come here, ask some question, and expect someone, just because they share similar gonads, to be able to explain to me what was going on inside their head. I mean, after all, being the one involved with the person I 'should' know them a little better. I say 'should' because, well, sometimes, some men are absolutely, positively, undeniably undecipherable at times (but you still love them anyway). :crazy:
