<p>I’ll start it off:</p>
<p>Men don’t give a darn about long and/or decorated finger and toe nails.</p>
<p>Perfume isn’t important. Better to do without it.</p>
<p>I can’t speak to all women, but I wish WashMom knew that MY garage is not a dumping ground for everything she can’t find a place for in the house. Other than that, she is all-knowing.</p>
<p>to the men: I think it is probably a fair generalization to say that we, as women, do not feel listened to if we are talking while you are fooling around with your Blackberry.</p>
<p>^^^Or if you are looking at the TV and only nodding during the conversation.</p>
<p>Bedhead speaketh the hair-pulling truth.</p>
<p>that when I come home ranting I don’t need you to “fix” things…just listen and I will be fine.</p>
<p>Sunglasses - they are not for keeping the sun out of your eyes, they are for watching babes at the beach.</p>
<p>Still can’t read your mind. Sorry.</p>
<p>Hmm. A little x-rated for a college site, astericks aside. No?</p>
<p>RE: “be a total wh***”</p>
<p>How about “Go away and mail me a check!” ;)</p>
<p>that a foot massage is just that…and I shouldn’t have to rub your feet back each time</p>
<p>Laxmom, that’s probably the #1 thing that bugs each of us…women don’t grasp why men can’t listen to a complaint without acting on the complaint; and guys can’t grasp the value of going into great detail about a complaint unless woment want men to take action to fix it.</p>
<p>I also wish women would understand that when we sit down with a drink and a snack in front of a TV set and a movie or sporting event is starting, that’s NOT the time to start a conversation about anything. And it’s especially NOT the time to start a conversation about how “we don’t talk any more.” There is no polite way to say, “Honey, if I found the details of your difficulty in buying a pair of shoes more interesting than watching ‘The Guns of Navarone’ for the fourteenth time, I wouldn’t have turned on the television.”</p>
<p>I can’t speak to all women, but I wish WashMom knew that MY garage is not a dumping ground for everything she can’t find a place for in the house. Other than that, she is all-knowing.</p>
<p>sorry- can’t hear you ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How to find things.</p>
<p>That once is enough. If we say something on the phone, no need to send an email repeating what we said, only to leave a voicemail message hours later saying “I sent you an email” just because I didn’t answer the email (which there was no need to do because we already talked about it), and then, when I don’t return the call, no need to send yet another email telling me you called and left a voicemail. </p>
<p>I feel like I should send an IM saying I’m sending a fax, and then send a fax saying I got the emails and the voicemails, but surely this would result in more emails and voicemails saying “I got the fax promised in your IM”. </p>
<p>It’s annoying.</p>
<p>Q: “What do we wish the opposite sex knew?”</p>
<p>A: As little as possible.</p>
<p>What Do You Wish the Opposite Sex Knew?</p>
<p>Where the laundry basket is. And what it’s for.</p>
<p>that if you bend down, you might actually FIND what’s on the bottom shelf of the fridge.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you what I’d LIKE to know about the opposite sex. I’ve been asking people about this for 40 years, and have yet to get a coherent answer: what prompted all the teenaged girls screaming/crying/fainting when they saw the Beatles (and to a lesser extent, other pop stars)? Do women see any male activity that is even slightly analogous?</p>
<p>I didn’t see that as representative of women, anymore than a man who thinks foreplay is brushing his teeth is representative of men 
I also don’t really understand mass hysteria- although I have heard about similar instances in certain churches etc.
People seem to experience what they expect.</p>
<p>I also don’t have a lot of patience with women who are afraid of-
getting dirty- bugs- sweat-being seen without their hair done or makeup on.
Although I do admit I have known men, who liked their women that way- I think it was the only way they felt * manly*</p>
