Admitting Mistakes:
Women will sometimes admit making a mistake.
The last man who admitted that he was wrong was Gen. George Custer.
Bathrooms:
A man has six items in his bathroom -- a toothbrush, toothpastem, shaving cream, razor, a bar of Dial soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.
The average number of items in the typical woman\'s bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items and what they are used for.
Cheerleaders:
Female cheerleaders are cute, sexy, fresh, and all-American.
Male cheerleaders are scary.
Comedy:
Let\'s say a small group of men and women are in a room, watching television, and an episode of the Three Stooges comes on. Immediately, the men will get very excited; they will laugh uproariously, and even try to imitate the actions of Curly, man\'s favorite Stooge.
The women will roll their eyes and groan and wait it out.
Conversation:
Men need a good disagreement to get talking, e.g., "Wow, great movie.", "What are you, nuts? No REAL cop would have an Uzi that size.", "Well, maybe he got it because he knew about those Mafia guys", etc.
Women, not having this problem, try to initiate conversations with men by saying something agreeable "That garden by the roadside looks lovely." "Mmhmm." Pause. "That was a good restaurant last night, wasn\'t it?" "Yeah." Pause. And so on.
Directions:
If a woman is out driving and she finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings, she will stop at a gas station and ask for directions.
Men consider this to be a sign of weakness. A man will never stop and ask for directions. Men will drive in a circle for hours, all the while saying things like, "Looks like I\'ve found a new way to get there," and, "I know I\'m in the neighborhood. I recognize that 7-11 store."
Dressing Up:
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail... A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals.
Women dress up, not to be attractive to men, but so they will be noticed by other women. Ask a man what color dress a woman wore last night. He won\'t remember.
Eating Out:
When the check comes, Mike, Dave, Rob and Jack will each throw in $20 bills, even though it\'s only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators.
Friends:
Women on a girls\' night out talk the whole time.
Men on a boys\' night out say about twenty words all night, most of which are "Pass the Doritos" or "Got any more beer?"
Garages:
Women use garages to parke their cars and to store their lawnmowers.
Men use garages for many things. They hang license plates in garages, they watch TV in garages, and they build useless wooden things in garages.
Getting Ready To Go Out:
Women will try on several outfits to make sure they are the right color.
Men smell their clothes before putting them on.
Going Out:
When a man says he\'s ready to go out, it means he\'s ready to go out.
When a woman says she\'s ready to go out, it means that she WILL be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring,finishes putting on her makeup...
Groceries:
A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes out to the store and buys these things.
A man waits till the only items left in his fridge are half a lime and a beer. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett\'s car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane. A woman will buy enough food for a week. A man will buy enough food for less than a day.
Handwriting:
To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch.
Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot their "i\'s" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p\'s" and "g\'s". It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she\'s dumping you, she\'ll put a smiley face at the end of the note.
Hemlines:
A man will remember how short a woman\'s dress was, for years.
A woman will remember what color it was.
Jewelry:
Women look nice when they wear jewelry. A man can get away with wearing one ring and that\'s it. Any more than that and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic.
Men would wear earrings if they could remember "is it the left ear that means you\'re gay and the right ear that means you are heterosexual, or ..."
Laundry:
Women do laundry every couple of days.
A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. When he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the laundromat, and expect to meet a beautiful woman while he is there.
Locker Rooms:
In the locker room, men talk about three things: money, football, and women. They exaggerate about money, they don\'t know football nearly as well as they think they do, and they fabricate stories about women.
Women talk about one thing in the locker room - sex. Not in abstract terms, either. They\'re graphic and technical, and they *never* lie.
Low Blows:
Let\'s say a man and a woman are watching a boxing match on television,and one of the fighters is felled by a low blow. The woman says "Oh,gee, that must hurt."
The man doubles over and actually feels pain.
Magazines:
Men\'s magazines often feature pictures of naked women.
Women\'s magazines also feature pictures of naked women. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is lumpy and hairy and should not be seen by the light of day. Men are turned on at the sight of a naked woman\'s body. Most naked men elicit laughter from women.
Maturity:
Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year old females can function as adults.
Most 17-year old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work out. A woman is fully capable of running a family and holding a job at age 18. Men start growing up sometime after age 40.
Menopause:
When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree of the changes varies with the individual.
Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction. He buys aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for an expensive foreign sports car and a mistress half his age.
Mirrors:
Men are vain; they will check themselves out in the mirror.
Women are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface- mirrors, spoons, store windows, toasters, Joe Garagiola\'s head...
Movies:
For women, their favorite movie scene is when Clark Gable kisses Vivien Leigh for the first time in "Gone With The Wind."
For men, it\'s when Jimmy Cagney shoves a grapefruit in Mae Clark\'s face in "Public Enemy."
Mustaches:
Some men look good with mustaches: Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds.
There are no women who look good with mustaches.
Nicknames:
With the exception of female body-builders, who call each other names like "Ultimate Pecs" and "Big Turk," women eschew the use of nicknames. If Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle get together for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle.
Ifv Mike, Dave and Jack go out for a brewski, they will affectionately refer to each other as Bullet-Head, Peanut-Brain, and Useless.
Nudity In The Movies:
Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a nude scene. This is because every movie in the history of movies has been produced by men. Few actors have appeared nude in the movies. One actor who has is Richard Gere. This is another reason why men hate him.
Offspring:
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. A man has to be reminded of his kids\' birthdays.
Plants:
A woman will ask a man to water her plants while she is on vacation.
The man will water the plants. The woman returns five days later, to an apartment full of dead plants. No one knows why this happens.
Politics:
Men love to talk about politics, but they often forget to do political things such as voting.
Women are very happy that another generation of Kennedys is growing up and getting into politics, because they will be able to campaign for them and cry on election night.
Relationships:
First of all, a man does not call a relationship -- he refers to it as "that time when me and Suzie were doing it on a semi-regular basis". When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled "All Men Are Idiots". Then she will get on with her life.
A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months after the break-up, at 3:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, he will call and say, "I just wanted to let you know you ruined my life, and I\'ll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you\'re a total floozy. But I want you to know that there\'s always a chance for us." This is known as the "I Hate You/I Love You" drunken phone call, and 99% if all men have made at least once. There are community colleges that offer courses to help men get over this need; alas, these classes rarely prove effective.
