Comparing Men and Women: A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot & love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot & not try to understand her at all. Married men live longer than single men - but married men are a lot more willing to die. Any married man should forget his mistakes - there's no use in two people remembering the same thing. Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. There are 2 times when a man doesn't understand a woman - before marriage & after marriage.
HANDWRITING:
To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They
just chicken-scratch. Women use scented, colored stationary 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.
NICKNAMES:
If Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle go out for lunch, they
will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Debra and Michelle. But if Mike, Phil, Rob
and Jack go out for a brewsky, they will affectionately refer to each other as
Bullet-Head, Godzilla, Peanut-Head and Useless.
EATING OUT:
and when the check comes, Mike, Phil, 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.
BATHROOMS:
A man has five items in his bathroom -- a toothbrush, 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.
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 lighter than the Clampett's car on Beverly Hillbillies. Of
course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane.
SHOES:
When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit,
then slip on Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag
from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five
minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk. A man
will wear the same pair of shoes all day.
CATS:
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't
looking, men kick cats.
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.
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.
LAUNDRY:
Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every
article of clothing he owns, including is 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. Men always expect to meet beautiful women
at the laundromat. This is a myth perpetuated by re-runs of old episodes of
"Love, American Style."
WEDDINGS:
When reminiscing about weddings, women talk about "the
ceremony". Men talk about "the bachelor party".
