us males like to give you females something for you to remind us of.

Oh, yeah?? Why do the females of my house always leave the litter box full?! Actually, there's only one female troublemaker, my little poozy cat. I forgive her b/c she's retarded--just like me. That's why we get along so well. :) I think some males (not all) have been pampered and favored by their parents and they've learned to expect 'someone else' (not specified) to do things for them. Also, we males have a higher tolerance for squalor than most females. Psychologists call this the Squalor Threshold (T sub S), the level of filth and untidiness that a subject will endure before cleaning up after himself, or at least hiring a maid. :) If the garbage can is overflowing, we pride ourselves in solving the problem not by emptying it outside but by finding an additional empty can to place beside the first. That gives me an idea. I need to get another litter box. As for toilet paper, women use 5x as much as men, so women should not only replace it when needed but buy it from the store with their own money. So there! :) .

Ar5e you sure this is only a male thing?why is it women dont get the oil changed in their cars unless a man i nagging them about it.Why is it blah blah blah ok we are guilty as charged.But you women still need us lol

You must live with pigs.

They do it (or don't do it, I should say) because the women keep on picking up the slack. Women need to start asking these guys for some help. After all, most women work outside the home now too. And why? To help out with expenses. Sooooooo, men should help out more around the house now. Just my opinion though.

Oops. I'm responding to this: >>A lot of people build up such strong fences around themselves they can't relate to anything that will respond back. Cold-blooded critters are "safe" company - there but not too close. I have a friend like that - highly intelligent, attractive, great sense of humour, nasty divorce, gets stoned rather than solves her loneliness. Not an uncommon scenario.<< <boing> That's very perceptive. It almost applies to me, except the highly intelligent, attractive, great sense of humour, the good stuff. :) The first couple of times I read it I thought you were talking about a guy, I finally noticed "her loneliness." I love intelligent women but I have trouble if they 'want to get to know me.' In a couple of weeks they know me better than I know myself, and it scares me. It took me a long time to figure this out. I spent years doing one-night or one-week or one-month stands. I also figured out why I worked best with young women OR selfish women. Both are focused on their own wants & needs, and not on me. That took the spotlight off me, so I didn't feel I was under scrutiny. Most of all I like slightly crazy women. Not dangerous, just a little strange & neurotic. Maybe that's what some guys (also women) mean when they say they feel like "getting some strange". :)

they just concentrating on the more important stuff

What house? In mine I: Never replace tp rolls - we don't hag them up we just have the supply next to the toilet. . I empty the kettle - if you just keep it full you are not draining out the mineral content in the water but just making it stronger. You should empty the kettle after you've boiled your water. . We have a dryer (and I use it) . I don't drink the secretions of any large grazing mammals so I never put the empty container anywhere - but I buy the stuff in bulk for my kids. . Yes - I'm male.

They can't multi-task. Watching telly takes all their brain power. You are not alone. Believe me!

Wow! You mean somebody besides me is still using a clothesline?

Not all men are annoying, some of them are dead.

By the way, for what its worth, my fibromyalgia was bad the other night and rain was coming on, so my husband brought in the laundry even though he'd worked all day. My five year old is the one who always replaces the toilet paper. My husband usually goes to the store (he's there now). My husband usually makes the tea in this house (he's English, I'm not). Not all guys are annoying. Although I'm probably annoying you by not agreeing :)

That's because most males don't think or incapable of it. Now, when we talk about MEN, then that is an entirely different story. A man hasn't got an over exagerated ego and doesn't think the universe evolves around him. Males, or most of them believe God was created in his image. Sound right?

Me: *Most of all I like slightly crazy women. Not dangerous, just a little strange & neurotic.* You: *That almost applies to me, except for the "not dangerous" part....* I once had a competitive gf who wanted to fight about everything. I feel that I've already paid my dues in that area. I believe in women's rights, independence, equal pay, single adoption, freedom to choose, freedom to smoke cigars, freedom to stand beside me at the urinals in the men's room. I believe in the old saying, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." It finally occurred to me that women and men _really don't_ need each other. And then it occurred to me, since we don't need e.o., why put so much effort into trying to live together? And since then I've had more time to do other things. Sure, it gets lonely now and then. That's what dogs & cats are for.

&#039;Winning arguments' was a trivial component of our disputes. I believe she thought I was talking down to her, in a paternalistic manner (although she never put it in those terms). I was older and I did know more about a lot of things. But it's also possible that she was over-sensitive. She was a midwest country girl but from a well-educated family. Her father was the superintendent of public schools in a college town. Maybe her father and two older brothers were patronizing to her, and she was sensitive to it. Or maybe, since she was very bright, she was used to being right in most of her daily encounters. >> (Minus the urinals, and I'd stay out of women's toilets too if I were you). They have stand-up urinals in women's toilets?? Hmm.

not all men are like that.. just most.. lol mine is worse than that.. lol.. you cant help but love and hate them lol

toilet rolls - yes, we will use the cardboard if we have to........ Kettle - because if you turn on the stove, the heat will make condensation which will eventually fill the empty kettle again........Wash - we set the clothes out waiting for the rain which actually washes the clothes......Milk - the milkman is the scariest looking fellow weve ever seen. He only has one tooth.

Because they're guys. Despite our best attempts, we males can be pretty obtuse in some things that strike you ladies as common sense. Trust me when I say we're not trying to exasperate you... we just can't help it.

I do all of that stuff. But then, I live alone.
