Longhorn, I'm going to puke if you keep this up!
But I have questions. Why is it men can fall asleep anywhere at any time? Really, are they tired, are they lazy, or are they faking?
And why , if men are supposed to be so smart can't they follow a woman's conversation if it has more than 1 verb and an adjective and 2 time periods???. OUR brains can handle multiples.
And why is it men never seem to know what is happening in the family??
Where do men get their arrogance and self righteousness??
Why are men so gross?
Why are men so controlling?
God sure knew what he was doing when he made a woman for man. He must have known He blew it with the first model.
Why did God give men all that testosterone if He knew they would just start wars and be like rabbits? Just wondering. Judy
Hi Judy,
I'll respond to this one Longhorn, Hope you don't mind, although I tread dangerous waters in response.
Male Arrogance: I agree, in my experience, Men tend to be more arrogant than Women, it relates to pride, too much of it I'm afraid. As I've stated to Kat and others, I'm developing a hatred towards arrogance during the last two years, however it's learned behavior from Our Fathers and Our Male Peers, it actually sickens me. My wife says when explaining Bible Truths to others, sometimes I tend to have an air of arrogance, so I will address that. Actually, in my case it's due to the Carnal trait of intolerance to people and complicated issues originating from others.
Self Righteousness: In my experience, I think women, not everyone, take the lead in this department. They tend to be overly concerned about issues that are considered by most, minor in nature. Making a Mountain out of a molehill.
Lazy: It's a stalemate, Women tend to be better workers in the employment field, probably due to their detail oriented Natures. In the homefront, in my experience Women have been lazy. Part of it probably tends to them being overly tired from pleasing people. Their trying to please people at every turn, sometimes I do the same. My Wife wears herself out trying to please everybody, an impossible task at best. She's the greatest Women I ever met, but for sanity sake, She needs to be more selective in the people pleasing department. Regarding Housework, I know Males, including myself that do most of the work at Home, including working on Cars, lawncare, cleaning, cooking; etc. I recognize that My wife has the more demanding secular job, so therefore I do 80% of the Domestic chores.
Conversation Process: Hemisphere Dominance plays a role here. Women add many details which Men usually consider irrelevant when conveying information. Men are wired to process this with: " Get to the Point." Women tend to tell an entire story to convey the facts about what happened to them at work. In this case(Work Stories), I tend to do alright listening to her and she appreciates this, but sometimes Males lose the essential facts amidst the overly long dialogue and drama. Example: A Patient hit me in the face today becomes a long story leading up to the event. Women tend to be better at multitasking(doing more than one thing at a time) whereas Men are better in focusing on one thing at a time and doing an excellent job when permitted to concentrate on one task. Men can get confused and irritated when two or more people attempt to gather information or require something at the same time. In my case, it's not that I'm angry several people want something, it's that I can't give everybody my best when confronted with so many requests at one time.
Testosterone: This is true, but I still wish I had more in order to accomplish more things, lacking the energy to do as much as I want with the limited time. I tend to believe that the Men who start Wars are not adequately using or channeling their Testosterone by more productive means, including in the Homefront in relation to their Wives. Thankfully, I don't have that issue;
. Of course, most of the Men that start Wars are not the ones that have to fight in them.
Tired: I guess that varies among the sexes, my Wife probably wishes I was more tired, but different things make people tired. For Me, it's emotionally related stresses that takes the lead, but I like physical and mental work, I usually feel better. My Wife is a great compliment, as She seems to have more strength when comforting emotional drama, but we try to work as a team in that area.
Controlling: Don't agree with this, although Men over 60 tend to be from a generation that excelled at being control freaks. Most of the Women under 60, at least the ones I've viewed tend to try and attempt to control every detail of every issue, both Domestically and in the Work force. The more intelligent and crafty Women are capable of having a Man believe He's in control, when in reality they are able to maneuver the situation to their advantage. That's why my wife ultimately gets what She wants. She subtly feeds or strokes my vanity, not always consciously detected by Me, but She gets good results. Boy, She should teach a course to other Women. I think that Brenda is good in this area and does rather well too.
Well Judy, enough for now, all in Fun coupled with Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, didn't we have a thread like that, now I better high tale myself outta here. Good Luck Longhorn, maybe they will forget about you and go for my jugular,
Samson.
