Life the Universe and Women...

  Since Adam met Eve (yes, I know they're fictional) men have been trying and failing to understand women.

  This cartoon makes me think there's a correlation with string theory...

  Understanding women doesn't seem to be an option.

  Listen and ignore seems to work most of the time.

  Women think men are psychic hence the "whose that" question every time the phone or the doorbell rings. They also seem to know lots of things that you are thinking but never mention.

  Conclusion - women are aliens

  When da missus is "explaining" something to me, in any given sentence she will use a noun, a verb, or an adjective; but never all three (or even 2 of 3). I am continually expected to connect the dots to understand her point...assuming there is one.

  If she is discussing five women or men, she will continually use "she" or "he"; leaving me with a 20% chance of guessing which she or he is being referred to.

  If I ask a question, she will often answer with a question; or answer a different question than was posed. ("What time is it?" elicits "it looks like it might rain")

  After much pondering, I have to agree with Bill's alien theory.

  ok..but.what if they are aliens?...we could be in line for a nobel prize or sumpin.

  To wit: 

  "HE may have grappled with some of the biggest questions about the universe, but Professor Stephen Hawking has revealed the one "mystery" that still intrigues him the most is WOMEN."

  btw: Hawking is considered the world's foremost authority on astrophysics. Aliens !!!.

  Edit: No offense to Prof Hawking, but who better to unravel the mystery of the female brain, than the collective IQ of the male forum posters?  Hell, Mike Stroke could probably do it by himself..:)

  Hmmm contentious topic, but here goes with a slightly different perspective.

  No I cannot say I can understand womens thought processing all the time, but often this puts us men to shame.

  I have worked with some women (underrepresented in many fields) and they have been every bit as good as their male counterparts, especially under pressure. They certainly were not on a different plane.

  Therefore it would be easy to turn this on its head - do women understand mens sometimes Neanderthal ways?

  Sometimes men do not understand simple instructions....or we choose to ignore as we are caught up in our own little worlds.

  Just adding another dimension......lol

  Studies have apparently shown that a woman uses 7 words for every one word a man uses. I'm not certain if a man's grunting, farting or burping is included in this ratio. 

  While not exactly words, they do have a certain phonetic quality, and are universally understood.:)

  EDIT: I just finished dinner. I ate all of it because it was good. The missus came out, looked at my empty plate and asked "So hun, how was your dinner tonight?". I thought the fact my plate was empty would be self explanatory...but I obliged her by saying "fine". (7 words to one).

  btw, when a guy says "fine", it means, well, fine. When a female says fine...not good news.

  The simple short answer......   ;)

   

  

  Edit : For the record....I am not degrading women in any way, such as some of the following posts do. It was just a truthful look at the cold  hard reality of life. ;)
