women are strange!

[stephec]

Ha ha, can get worse: like when women are completely helpless at (say) bike mechanics, so we get the (presumed) competent male to do it for us, but we talk him through every single step (while we put the kettle on ) doubting his competence
I have learned to leave the house when hired workmen are in

You sound just like my wife

Don't know how to do a job, but know how to tell everyone else how to do it.

When I'm using a Stanley knife she'll be hovering behind me saying, "be careful with that."

Then she thinks I'm being sarcastic when I reply, "it's a good job you told me that, I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise."

Most female chatter is actually a symptom of anxiety, I'm sorry to say. Mrs Gti gets all upset by the detail without taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture, which seems to me a big difference between the female and the male of our species.

I bet that goes down ever so well when you explain it to her.

My wife has already decided what I said long before I open my mouth, so extensive dialogue is unnecessary.

Some while ago my Mrs and I were walking to the poll station to vote. On the way a woman walked out from an adjoining road and her and Mrs Colly got into conversation. In the 10 mins it took to get the the poll station subjects as various as gardening, job grumbles, illnesses, problems with errant family members, cats, and car troubles were all covered. Seamlessly it appeared to me.
At the poll station after she had wandered into another queue I asked Mrs Colly who she was. (foolishly thinking it might be someone from work)

Mrs Colly looked at me and said ................'No idea. never seen her before'

 

[colly]

Nice to see you, Colly

And you Rocky. A rare visit for me.

 

[colly]

I trust life is treating you well

Very well thanks..............all tickity boo

 

[Dayvo]

And you Rocky. A rare visit for me.

One of these, is it?

Stay around, you might enjoy it.

Hmmmmm........ my OH can talk the hind legs of a donkey. In fact, he's in touch with his fminine side in may ways. He has a pink Blackberry when we first got together.
But then he's been a nurse all his working life, so maybe working in a female dominated environment has rubbed off on him.

Where is @Fnarr when we need him?

 

[TheDoctor]

The stereotypical dynamics of stereotypical heterosexual relationships genuinely fascinate me. It's like peering in through the window, wondering if this is what my mother meant when she said I would be missing out if I insisted on being gay...

Not sure it's necessarily a straight thing. I'm sure I'd be equally capable of wondering if a bloke was going to get to the point, like, ever...

Getting 'changed!'

 

[theclaud]

Not sure it's necessarily a straight thing. I'm sure I'd be equally capable of wondering if a bloke was going to get to the point, like, ever...

The point is not the straightness of it, but the conventionality of it, and the way that the same old beliefs and assumptions reproduce themselves and appear to confirm their own validity, yet never notice how they are perpetuating what they imagine to exist outside themselves.

 

[Piemaster]

My beloved thinking she has told me something is exactly the same as actually telling me something. Which I then get crap for forgetting.

As they going to Rio next year!

Did you see the banned IrnBru Ads on that theme:

I wish my lost socks turned up in the fridge - I'd at least have a chance of finding a pair.

My wife is sock blind

I even bought socks with bright coloured toes and heels to make them easy to match..... but to no avail, I still get mix and match!

(... and off topic.....

Wasn't it Douglas Adams who showed why pens disappear "They slip quietly through wormholes in space to a planet inhabited solely by Pen based lifeforms, where they can enjoy a uniquely Biroid lifestyle, responding to Biro-orientated stimuli, leading the Biro equivalent of the good life"

Surely socks could manage the same feat *


*No pun intended)
