Maybe that's true in general, but then there are different men around. Most (all?) men, when they meet a woman they are attracted to will at some stage think about how nice it would be to go to bed with her. Some men (like me) will think about how nice it would be to wake up with her. That's the difference between players and stayers.

(Oh, and my apologies for the "bitchin' about your cold" thing. I hope you understand it was very much tongue in cheek, and I do hope you're feeling better. Honest injun!)

I agree with this wholeheartedly. But I tend to believe that most men are not like you....they tend to be far more interested in the "go to bed" portion rather than the "waking up" portion. Hence my saying that they are far more interested in physical "romance". Maybe it's because they just can't handle the real thing

You're just lucky that I was sick. If I had been more on the ball, you would have been in trouble

Seriously, don't worry about it. T'was no big deal.

"Men really don't live like human beings. They're more like bears with furniture. I went into a man's bathroom once. It was so horrible I couldn't describe it. . . but I'll try. It seems that men aren't, well, that specific. As long as they hit something they're happy." -- Rita Rudner

So now we've descended into pee jokes? Well, we aim to please ....

This is men being romantic as only men can be, written by men, performed by men:

So the difference would be XX-XY=A.

X² – XY = A is a hyperbola.

So the difference between men and women is a hyperbola.

Hope this helps.

Oh my, does that mean someone approaches zero...Naw

Precisely. I am so grateful that I finally found (and recognized) the latter. We've been married 25 years this time next week. He's definitely a different guy from the norm.

Five things you'll never hear a man say --

1. Oh, those shoes will make my feet look so cute.
2. (High pitched squeal on meeting a friend) Bobbeeeeeeeee, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, Bobbeeeee! (Must wave hands frantically).
3. Let's just take it to Jiffy Lube.
4. Do these pants make my butt look big.
5. That's OK, dear. We can go visit your mother, and I'll watch the Superbowl some other time.

Five things you'll never hear a woman say --

1. We don't have anything to do this afternoon. Why don't you just take a nap?
2. My hair's fine; let's just go.
3. You want me to make chili tonight?
4. You're right.
5. No, I'll take the kids to visit mother. You just grab a beer and watch the Superbowl.

And you guys who are pretending to be sensitive -- Knock it off. This is the internet. You are not going to get any of these women to go home with you.

And finally, the words "Fine. Do whatever you want." have an entirely different meaning when spoken by a man than when spoken by a woman.

(Sports disclaimer: The last time gonzo saw a Superbowl, the Kansas City Chiefs won.)

Yesterday I was in the car with my sister and boyfriend-in-law. He was talking to my sister about his pants, which he is wearing because lately it's been cold.

"I thought you wore them yesterday," my sister remarked.

"Oh, I did," said her boyfriend nonchalantly.

"Did you wash them?" my sister raised her eyebrows because she knew the answer. But she did not know the full extent

"No, I haven't washed them for six days."

While she was driving, she and I began to hit him with our fists and pull his hair and make him swear to wash his pants as soon as we got back.

It occured to me afterwards that this kind of incident played out to this kind of discussion.

While 6 days is extreme, surely if you washed your trousers/jeans every day you'd a) need a huge pile of clothes in your wardrobe and b) have far too much washing to do?

It's just not practical.

Unless you've got a woman to do it for you

Then you have to “dry clean”. That is when you scrape off the really caked on mud and dirt with your thumbnail or spoon and brush off the rest.

My wife and I have a great division of labor. I cook, she does laundry. When she had a C-section I was on laundry duty for a few days. It quickly became apparent that giving me instructions was more difficult than it was to just have me do all the lifting and have her separate* the clothes into all the various types there apparently are. When I had pneumonia and was flat on my back for a week, I began to appreciate this. After the leftovers were used up, maybe 2-3 days, I was having to either eat Kraft macaroni and cheese or give her instructions how to cook real food. Same thing, it was less effort to do the cooking myself.

*I once saw a comedian who went into how women do this religious ritual or something of "separating" clothes. I think this was the same guy who said "Women actually wash bath towels. I just use one till it's too stiff and throw it away."
