Taken from a male dominated sports forum I go on....
NICKNAMES
If Laura, Suzanne and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each
other Laura, Suzanne and Sarah.
If Mike, Charlie 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, Charlie and John will each throw in a
£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 from M&S.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 47. 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 bins,
answer the phone, read a book, and get the post.
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
A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist
appointments and romances, best friends, favourite 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.
WHAT A WOMAN SAYS:
C'mon...This place is a mess. You and I need to clean. Your pants are on
the floor and you'll have no clothes if we don't do the laundry now...
WHAT A MAN HEARS:
C'MON... blah, blah, blah YOU AND I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah ON THE
FLOOR blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES blah, blah, blah, blah, NOW!!!
