Men

Little lessons I've picked up about men:

1. Timing is everything. For example, women should never compete for attention when a man is focused on a game on TV. We should not look at it with a "the game is more important than me??" attitude but as his time to relax and enjoy a game. Just like when we are on the phone with our girlfriends gossiping and catching up, we do not want to be disturbed either. We just need to choose our battles, that's all.

2. Sometimes they really can't read between the lines. Other times, they just don't want to. Whats the point of prolonging things? When this happens, ladies we might as well come right out and say it. Get. To. The. Point.

3. Some guys do not like to be called "nice guys". Can u believe that? Coz apparently they finish last. I obviously think its a complement but - whatever!

4. Yes, they do compare themselves with other men. I guess it's human nature.

5. Yes, they are territorial. Sometimes this is could be flattering, other times its infuriating.

6. Can't live with them, can't live without them. HAHA!

And that's just my two cents.

(There's more, but that's all I'm sharing here. Care to add your own?)

I so agree with your list. Similar to #2. They cant read mind either. I often think of what goes inside his head and hope that he is thinking what i'm thinking. Oftentimes, he is in a totally different dimension.

nice to see you back!

no. 6 men are stupid...stupid meaning "silly" not ignorant. and yet it is in the silly things that we find ourselves more involved with. I KNOW! beats me!

I am laughing as I read your comments. Leah, yes this is so true! Just when you think you're on the same page, he opens his mouth and you're like "Wha?!"

Bads! Hahaha! I am so with you on that. Hey we're not male bashing here. We're just confused! Right??

I think us guys don't want to be called 'nice guys' because we heard somewhere that ladies like 'bad boys'. :D And I'm guilty of not reading between the lines. Well, subtlety isn't our strong suit. Sometimes we just need to get hit over the head with what you women are trying to say. hehe

Nice new layout, btw. :)

Hi Abby!

On your list:

1. I sometimes run the argument in my head. If I see the scenario where we'll just go back-and-forth I opt to just let it pass.

2. Men are denser(?) than lead. We HATE reading between the lines. Reading the actual lines is hard enough.

3. I think it's because some men think the "label" is a precursor to a trip to to The Friend Zone, and NOBODY wants to be stuck there...

4. Everybody compares themselves to everybody else. It's how compliments and insults come about. :)

5. Hahaha, we ALL territorial. MYspace. Private parts. Ipod. PERSONAL space. Sometimes we just don't wanna share. Why else would they sell Haagen Daaz in quarts?

6. Men think about boobs the way women think about diamonds. (old joke)

1. Timing is everything.

Don't hate me, but I agree with this. And I observed that this is true as well.

And thus, girls shouldn't pressure the men to get married or something. If you think he's "THE ONE", then wait when he's ready.

I don't know if you've observed, but when it comes to settling down, it's more of "time" than the person. So if guys feel that it's the right time, the current girl gets the ring. Although she may not necessarily be "the greatest love of his life"
