Why are men so mesmerized by cartoons. I live in a house full of males (Hubby, Son, Grandsons)and every time they walk into a room where cartoons are on they become deaf and dumb to everything and stare at it. Why?

Because they do not have to think about what is going on. They do not have to tell you what they thought of it because they know you don't care. They can live in that world very easily.

Well it just shows you that they can only handle the simplest things in life, while the challenging stuff is for us girls to deal with. It just show you who is more intelligent doesn't it! LOL!

first of all, they make us feel all nostalgic and fuzzy.

secondly, many are surprisingly high-brow at times.
and you'd be surprised at the stuff they can sneak into a children program.

thirdly, not all of us get to see as many anvils landing on people as we'd like.

im male, and i love cartoons...the short answer...they drown out the sound of bloody women nagging us all the time!

can't we just have an hr or 2 to relax and have a giggle with ourselves, without being moaned at?

- My husband comes into the family to ask me a question, and if there is a cartoon on, he stops right in the middle of a sentence and stares at it. That is not a relax and enjoy.

- so what if he loves cartoons, does he complain when your doing the things you love? his just happens to be on TV. Give the poor bloke a break and stop having a go at him for having an interest, he might have a short attention span for all you know? it certainly sounds like it.

- You are reading way more into this question and comment than is there. I do not complain, and I never said I did. I asked "why".

- You will notice if you read the question, I am the one watching cartoons, not them. They are usually on the computer, or just passing through.
