MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

NICKNAMES:

If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT:

When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY:

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS:

A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS:

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE:

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS:

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.

MARRIAGE:

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP:

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL:

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING:

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it ... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

 
Edited for fun! :p :

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER GRUMPIER PEOPLE

NICKNAMES:

If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. But their husband's pet names are Dickwad, ******* and Butthead

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. Oddly, all quite eeerily accurate

EATING OUT:

When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. Women will pay for good service, men will pay well in hopes of being "serviced" by wait staff

MONEY:

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. Cuz he expects the wife to anticipate the rest and make sure it's on hand at home.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. So? see above. Collateral damage boys ;)

BATHROOMS:

A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. (these item are all stored strategically on the floor of said bathroom)

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. Nor does he have the balls to purchase any replacements for these items when politely asked

ARGUMENTS:

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. Yup

FUTURE:

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A smart woman bypasses marriage entirely and has NO worries.

SUCCESS:

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, who is of the same age/conditon as Anna Nicole Smith's hubby

MARRIAGE:

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

Life Factoid - everyone changes, just usually not in a complimentary fashion to their spouse.

DRESSING UP:

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

Huh? Where's my ballcap, sunglasses and ratty jeans?

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. Sorta ;) - 25 y/o suits that are too tight don't count!

NATURAL:

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

Surely this is skewed by alcohol consumption?

OFFSPRING:

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. Someone has to be detail oriented and able to multitask!

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. s'truth!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Doesn't this just simply illustrate the original point? Just sayin'.. :lol: Oh, Hugs n Kisses, Barb!

 
NowwhatchagonnasayWalter?

Um, not enough mind-reading going on? :D

I enjoyed reading both versions, BTW! Good rebuttal!

And I have purchased "items" required by the missus. Without adding other stuff to the buggy to make it look like an afterthought.

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER GRUMPIER PEOPLE Happier....when alone!

NICKNAMES:

If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. But their husband's pet names are Dickwad, ******* and Butthead

If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. Oddly, all quite eeerily accurate

Hmmmm, I dunno. I guess I have a different set of friends, acquaintances and work mates. We all know and use one another's actual names.

EATING OUT:

When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. Women will pay for good service, men will pay well in hopes of being "serviced" by wait staff

What, you guys all try to out-macho one another for the cute waitress? None of you are smart enough to "guess" at 15%-20%? Besides, she's got a line of guys her age trying to get her attention and she DOES come with attitude!

MONEY:

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. Cuz he expects the wife to anticipate the rest and make sure it's on hand at home.

Anticipate? I must meet this woman....she'll likely decide he doesn't "need" it and take it back, or extract double value for something she wants, see below.

A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. So? see above. Collateral damage boys ;)

Collateral damage....see!

BATHROOMS:

A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. (these item are all stored strategically on the floor of said bathroom)

The floor? I thought that's where teenage girls stored everything, except for the overflow that's stored in the garage.

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. Nor does he have the balls to purchase any replacements for these items when politely asked

OR....if he is semi-aware, will suggest some things be bought in bulk or when on sale because they'd be needed. And what man wouldn't buy whatever the women in his life need? Of course, she'll have to write it down because there are just too many brands and variations!

ARGUMENTS:

A woman has the last word in any argument.

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. Yup

Just nod and act confused. Only the sight of contrition and confusion will appease the female of the species and give grounds for the endless continuation of said argument.

FUTURE:

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A smart woman bypasses marriage entirely and has NO worries.

A wise man knows better than to pursue a losing venture.

SUCCESS:

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, who is of the same age/conditon as Anna Nicole Smith's hubby

Just rent "arm candy", it's cheaper in the long term and less painful.

MARRIAGE:

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

Life Factoid - everyone changes, just usually not in a complimentary fashion to their spouse.

Addendum to Life Factoid: You will never be able to live up to the other's past, goals, dreams and desires concerning who YOU should be. Get over it and get over yourself.

DRESSING UP:

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

Huh? Where's my ballcap, sunglasses and ratty jeans?

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. Sorta ;) - 25 y/o suits that are too tight don't count!

Hmmmmm, there is something rather attractive (and seductive) about a woman who is clean and dressed nicely. What's up with the men who want their woman to look like a "10" but complain about the time it takes, the cost of the hair appointment, the cost of make-up, etc. Doh!!!

Then they are unwilling to do the same to honor their S.O. Call me stupid but this just doesn't compute for me!

NATURAL:

Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

Surely this is skewed by alcohol consumption?

Men wake up thinking they're better looking than they are. Maybe the woman's deterioration has something to do with the "brain side" of the man's eyeballs. Or maybe the man's brain? Perhaps her "deterioration" has something to do with who she's looking at when she arises, shock and horror being so very hard to control first thing in the morning.

OFFSPRING:

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. Someone has to be detail oriented and able to multitask!

Excuse me...you forgot the sports practices and the positions they play, church functions, "fun" times like roller skating and snow boarding. BTDT and it wasn't THAT hard. Of course, it requires having a relationship with your child(ren) and that takes an investment of time.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. s'truth!Agreed...sadly, for most men.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing! No argument there!

During a counseling session the man told his Pastor that, when arguments arose, his wife got historical.

"You mean," said the Pastor, "Hysterical?"

"No, she gets historical...she brings up every offense and failure since the day we got married!"

[SIZE=8pt]And that's the truththththth![/SIZE]

SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it ... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

Good on ya!

true story...

I work for 3 veterinarians, and most of the supplies we order from a central purchasing agent, but at times there are lil things to be picked up.

One day, I am at the beginning of a shopping trip for the clinic, and I suddenly realize I am walking thru a giant supermarket with nothing but 6 tubes of KY (for thermometers) and a giant 32 pack of AA batteries (for ENT scopes/digicam etc) in my buggy.

I suddenly had some sympathy for you guys...

:D

yeah, big deal :rolleyes:

that tiny size eye makup cause that's all she wears or needs :yahoo:

and the trips to Victoria Secret don't count

Seriously, thanx for the good sense of humor with insight shown by all

I hesitated & thought twice when someone sent that to me and I was deciding whether to post it

Then I thought of Tyler and asked myself if she would have appreciated it in the spirit it was posted

and then shot back her special banter in the matter

Decided to go for it wishing she would have seen it

Maybe some happy day, I'll remember to point her to it when she's back with us for her response

that actually would help give me closure on my reaction to her situation
