A Ravens view of issues that are Humorous, Relevant and Personal. “Would these words make the lost soul, bereft of hope nod his head and smile or throw up?”

Men VS Woman

December 28th 2007 11:39
Ever notice how differently men and women view the same things, for example:

Woman gains 5 lbs and has a fit, Man gains 50 and just knows he’s looking good,

Woman spends $5,000 to dress up for her wedding, Man shows up in levi's,

Women diet and exercise to stay fit, Man watches sports, eats sausages, swills beer and has woman bring refills,

Women take care of home, kids and job 16 hours a day, Man works 8 hours and naps,

Women wants new furniture, Man buys new boat,

Woman says, “Honey, I love you.”, Man says, “..me to.”

Woman says, “Are you just going to stand there?”, Man says, “..stand where?”

Woman need to speak 10,000 words a day, Man can only hear 1,000,

Women seek non sexual rubs and touches; Man is barefoot from head to toe at the thought of touching,

What are your takes on differences between men and women?

Raven is curious.

Men talk it's networking, women talk it's gossiping.

Men make mistakes it's risk taking, women make mistakes and they're incompetant.

And then the suicide question--does this make my butt look big?

Yup, and you' doomed no matter how you answer that one James. Raven

That old black mangic has me in a spin, you can slow down now Raven, you have the 10, otherwise you'll fill up the top 10 and won't leave me the odd spot, which is about all I get.

Who cares, at least it's quick.

I think that men and women are symbiotically different, so that they can function well as a team. Each covers the other's weaknesses and strengths, i.e. men have more upper body strength and women have more lower body strength. Men are generally single-minded while women can generally multitask. Men and women make a powerhouse team if they appreciate how their differences cover each others' weak points --instead of bitching about them!

Eh??? 10? Really, hmmm, mangic, nice word, mind if I borrow it on occasion katyzzz? Hah, you'll always be in the top 10 of my book.

Great points D. Armenta, I absolutely agree with your assessment. Very well stated. Raven

You've only just noticed there's a difference? Gee, I always thought men and women were the same! LOL

It was the co-ed showers that clued me in Mike, quite the shock it was. Raven

I was once told by a wise man - that the only correct answer to the 'Does my butt look big in this is . . .'

"Not big enough".

Hmmm - James/Raven if you're game to try that one out let me know how you get on.

Cheers

MNG, that'd be suicidal around my house and frankly, I've been hankering to hang around a bit longer.

I just realise what this actually says: barefoot from head to toe. That's quite an achievement!

With only minimal incentive Mike, most guys can rise up and achieve the miraculous....

Depends upon the mood and gender of the person telling the tale Mike, but for the most part: yup.

Raven

Comment by Mike Crowl

December 29th 2007 07:20
Yes, my wife would probably agree about the mood and gender thing....

Comment by tlcorbin

December 29th 2007 08:16
Exactly...my wife is a great sounding board for me, always more than a bit willing to correct any erroneous thinking that I may be entertaining. ... sometimes her candor is alarming, but always enlightening, and I appreciate her input greatly Mike, , yup she's reading over my shoulder...hahaha.

I could have guessed it. It's a strange thing that wives think they should lecture husbands about behaviour, but woe betide any husband who lectures his wife. That's something that didn't appear on the original list!

If the gates are closed there is no way into the pleasure dome.

Happy wife
Happy life.

Marry well and you'll be happy.
Marry baddly and you'll be a phylosopher.

Well, Mike, half of the fun to to let others develop additions to the list via their comments.

Excellent point Damo, , kids learn quickly: If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Thanks for the comments guys. Raven

Why is it that when a women (let's say of a mature age) is dragged kicking and screaming to a 'tasteful' male strip show - then it's 'fun, harmless entertainment' by nice boys.

But even mention that one of your mates has told you that such and such has organised a stripper for a party - and it all of a sudden the story changes to 'that girl's young enough to be your daughter' and 'don't you think you're just a little too old for that kind of thing?'.

Hmmmmm

Oh, the joy of double standards! And I thought it was only blokes who had them....NOT

Comment by tlcorbin

Annon, women of mature age aren't passionless or sexless and if a guys gyrations is titillating for them, great; they aren't visiting strip clubs with the predatory mindset that guys carry with them to view the ladies.

It's a genetic thing in their jeans that drives the guys. The old, I gotta find a woman imperative.

It isn't until after the fact that sanity sets in on a guy and the, crikey, she's young enough to be my granddaughter or daughter realization creeps to the forefront of their awareness or conscience.

Mike a double standard isn't any fun until some else acknowledges it, especially between the genders.

Yup, you're probably right about the double standards, tlcorbin!

I guess that's why so many male performers so often talk about the scratching, nail and bite marks which are regarded as professional hazards - huh?

Predatory?

If men were to indulge in the same behaviour at similar clubs - the bouncers would be on them like a rash.

But let's not go there.

Let's not go there? Are you showing a yellow streak here?

Anon why don't you go at risk and post your comments as a member of Orble.

As a former bouncer at a twin stage club in San Diego, CA some years back I have dealt with both sides of the spectrum and would cheerfully engage you in debating the merits of any argument you'd like to present on this topic.

Mike, to whom are you addressing your comments? Do you know the identity of anon? Or his motives? It's easy to be an expert when you're not defending your view.

No, I don't know this particular Anon. Presumed he/she was part of the regular scene.

Nope, those that are identify themselves Mike, usually. Raven

That was put in there just to see who took the bait eh Raven?

Unfortunately men can say as much as they like - they always know the women wear the real pants in the house!

But I really just agree with what D said!

Ash

hahaha, you busted me Ash, and I agree with D as well.

I heard your story this way: A husband and wife had been fussing at each other for quite a long while. Finally, in frustration, the husband points to his jeans and states, "I wear the pants in this family and we'll do things my way." Whereupon, the cooler headed wife points to her jeans and states, "If you ever want into these pants again, we'll do things my way."

Glad you liked the story, Ash, have a great day. Raven
