There are a number of fundamental differences between men and women, especially when it comes to communication. One of the things that I fail to understand and frankly do not have any interest in understanding are the comments our wives/girlfriends/lovers/significant others make for the sole purpose of aggravating us.
Some of them have this burning desire to create conflict where none exists for inexplicable reasons. I am not clear if they feel like they need attention, are looking for makeup sex or are just being ridiculous pains-in-the-ass when they say these things, but they definitely say them.
It is not just me, my male colleagues and friends have compared notes on this and there is a disturbing pattern of this behavior.To me it fits in the category of questions like “does this make me look fat?”
Don’t ask me because I will tell you if it makes your butt look big enough to drive a bus through or if it makes you look fabulous. It is the honesty policy and it makes life much easier.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Hmmmmm, this reminds me of the natural phenomena of husbands ending up getting the side of the bed that is farthest from the door. Most married women with childeren have experienced this, as with being closer to the door they are up whenever the baby cries or someone wants a glass of water.
