Women
 
I had a bit of a ding dong with the missus last weekend, so Monday night she texts me saying I will see you Thursday. "Ok" I think to myself that's when I'll see her next. Today I was dumfounded to be texted several times getting onto me about why I had not contacted her :shrug:

I agree women can be bizarre and even absurd sometimes, but I think she has a point. If it was me i'd at least message her something back in acknowledgement. Especially given that SMS is really haphazard. I have had texts disappear into the ether, arrive 3 weeks later, and become corrupted/truncated.

Re: Women
 
How many women does it take to change a light bulb?












One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE?
Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT.
They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS.
But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!
AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!
IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS...I'm sorry...what did you ask me?

:D

Re: Women
 
My biggest gripe about women is how they can't stick to the point/problem being argued over. They just can't help dredging up sh*t that happened years ago every bl**dy time. On the rare occasions that we have an argument I have to keep dragging the 'discussion' back to the topic in hand. :mad:
On the other hand, I think their good points outweigh their faults.......beautiful, bewitching, sexy........ :D

........ and i agree with Punky...... even with the bizarre and absurd bit but i've found that works both ways...... we just see and interpret things differently i suppose, but that doesn't meant that i find us women any easier to understand at times :shrug:
However.... i have been on the other end of a similar situation as the one described by Huggy Bear. I've been told that a meeting would take place about a week or more in advance and then not received any other communication before the set time :erm:
I suppose i just need more reassurance..... this particular man had cancelled at the last minute (and i mean minute) before. Things happen..... meetings get cancelled...... some people are more casual about them and don't think that the other person will mind or be put out :shrug:
I like to be a little more considerate :)
Perhaps this 'missus' feels neglected generally..... doesn't trust Huggy Bear........ has reason to believe that Huggy Bear is unreliable.....
Bit hard generalising about all women if we know nothing about Huggy's behaviour and how he's treated his 'missus' in the past.

Either way....... a little consideration for the other person doesn't kill you..... and if you love them, would it hurt to make them happy? :)


and yes......... i ignored you ramrod.......... another thing us women do well ;) But am sure that i'll bring up your last post in the future and make your life hell for it :p: ;)

Well dont know whether we can as Peachey is male and this thread is about Women so it may be a little :notopic:

But Peachey was a member here and was banned some time ago and every day reappears is some new username until he is hunted out by the Mods/Admin and sussed by some of the ever alert members here.

Sorry to shatter your illusions but nothing MI5 about it.

Re: Women
 
Of course, it could be argued that for several days each month, women have an excuse for being angry or moody.

And anyone who says that women's bodies don't synchronise their periods with their friends has never worked in an office with all women. I used to, and for about 3-4 days per month nothing I could do at work would be right. Luckily, although my line manager was a women, the owner of the company was a man and also experienced the same thing as me.

Anyway, I digress. Not all women suffer badly from PMT. Some do (as do their boyfriends, brothers, husbands, male friends etc), but a lot don't.

Anyway, I love women. I find it amazing how, according to women, a man can go from being the best person on earth to the spawn of the devil (and back again) in less than 3 minutes. I know. I have actually done this (and was called "the spawn of the devil" by the woman concerned - all I'd actually done was bought and watched Pulp Fiction).

She's going to kill you - not for the bread but for revealing the dust on top of the Iced Diamond to all the world :p: :D

Good for her.I can't think of a better way of getting out of the chore of sandwich/toastmaking.It's what my husband does. ;) In fact I predict that most of the cr@ppy bread slicing is done by men. :p:

On the other hand the sensible approach is to get consistently sizes slices, done in the machine at the bakery.

You'll be surprised at the number of people on this forum that make their own bread.

Since my culinary skills extend to stabbing it twice and waiting for it to go PING!, the last thing I'd have paid attention to was that thread ;)

Yeah, be careful Iadom, or you might find your sarnie supply drying up all of a sudden :)

About the parking thing. A little while ago, I was out with a female friend of mine. I went to parallel park, bosh bosh bosh, done. Car actually parallel to the curb, wheels a few inches away. Took me a couple of seconds and I guess I made it look easy (experience I guess), and she was gobsmacked. She has a Ka (who on earth can't park a Ka?), and said she wished she, and her mates found it that easy. I was chuffed to say the least. It wern't even my mum's old 5 series either.

just to let you all know,
greenkeeper
1. I dust on top of the freezer and fridge when I defrost them, it is not good practice to drag them out more often than that.
Incognitas
2. I was cutting the bread to make her toast ( I have oven bottom muffins) to go with the breakfast that I prepare every Sunday.

3. I also cook 80% of the meals and do 95% of the washing up, all the vacuuming, half the washing, ironing, dusting, cleaning the bathroom etc, etc. I also do some of the shopping as well so there.:p: :angel:

It's a known biological fact that men are better at spacial awareness tasks than women.
And before the women get up and throw things at me (as if they could hit me :disturbd: ) it's also a known biological fact that women are better at comunicating (except to a bloke when he's done something wrong), multitasking (remember women have a motorway between the two halfs of their brains, men have a dirt track), and gazing at men's bums without being caught (it's true, your periferal vision is better than us bloke's)

I dare say by posting this, I'll get branded a mysoganist. I don't hate women, actually far from it. (if I did hate them, it would save me a lot of grief and heartache), but I do hate inequality, injustice and elitism.

I managed to catch the second half of "Britain's secret shame" today, where it exclusively talked about deaths of women prisoners. Now, trying to prevent the death of prisoners, is admirable. But that only women prisoners deserve that effort and the men can be thrown to the wolves? What kind of country are we leading to where we keep getting these programs that portray women are special, and elite, and therefore worthy of protection, that men aren't allowed? The stats are, that 85 men died in prison, while 9 women died. Admitted the percentage does work out that women are twice as likely to die, but isn't 85 deaths worse than 9? Couple that with the fact there are all these women-only outreach programs, and they get linient sentencing anyway.

I believe in the "one world, one people" principal, where gender and race are taken out of the equation. There shouldn't be any such thing as "male criminals" and "female criminals". You should only have criminals and non criminals, and I really despise the way people say "let's help these people over here, but not over there". By keep partitioning society into all these different groups will never give us equality. I am not saying we should stop helping women with this, or that, but everyone should be helped, as a whole.

Am I crazy, or being mysoganist or do I have a point? If you disagree, please don't red rep, please prove me wrong. I am not trying to preach hate against women, but the opposite, I want women AND men to be respected.

You've said it yourself - why, given the small percentage of women in prison as a proportion of the prison population, are they twice as likely to commit suicide? That's a question worthy of an answer.

But there are almost 10 times as many men dying? The problem should be looked at regardless if you are male or female.

BTW, the deaths refer to self-inflicted ones, which is what the program seemed to focus on.
