Men are just different creatures!

Another female perspective: Men ARE weird, but at the same time, so darn appealing!

Another thing I do as a guy is not pay as much attention to my boys when we are out doing stuff. If I haven't heard a scream then I assume things are going ok. That is dumb. But I am not wired to be a mother hen and always gather them under my wing.

AMEN!

You're still a good dad though Checks. I'll attest to that. I know they have lots of fun with you.

It's taken me a while to realize that most stereotypes exist because there's truth to a lot of them, but as usual men and women rarely understand where the other is coming from. I'm more of a typical woman than I thought. That doesn't mean that I love to shop and get giddy over shoes and handbags, but I'm still more of an emotional creature than I'd like to admit and I definitely have my moments where I act 100% WOMAN. I'd expect no defferent from men. Sometimes we just are who we are. I just think it's sad when some people believe that he/she that yells the loudest or the longest is right. In those regards, I think a lot of men get the short end of the deal, because as we KNOW, all women talk too much....

I was watching a show on TV a few years back about the differences between men and womens brains and how they function. On this show they did a medical scan of somekind of both sexes brains during wake periods and sleep periods. One of the most amazing things I learned on that show was that womens brains literally never stopped thinking. Even during sleep some part of their brain was always active and thinking, men however have periods of time in which their brains are completely inactive.....no thought processing at all. This happened both when they were awake and when they were asleep. Basically they had moments when they were simply breathing digesting ...ect. Automatic type stuff. So the lesson here was that when you ask a man "What are you thinking about" and he answers "Nothing" its probablly literally true.

Ah yes, I am sure Heavenly Father made them that way so that we fall in love and procreate instead of standing back to laugh... LOL J/k guys

I think what over43 meant was we do dumb things. Like for instance when I was younger we (the guys) would get together late at night and hop the fence at the local swimming pool and run across the tarps. While that was both illegal and highly dangerous I seriously doubt that many women would have thought it up.

Another thing I do as a guy is not pay as much attention to my boys when we are out doing stuff. If I haven't heard a scream then I assume things are going ok. That is dumb. But I am not wired to be a mother hen and always gather them under my wing.

So yeah guys do some pretty dumb things. I chalk it up to the "If I can do this then maybe I can impress that girl over there" factor.

Hahah! I remember that game. I also remember "Throwing rocks at one another."

And we were always so shocked when one of us got hurt we'd instantly scatter.

I call this behavior in men "testosterone poisoning"

Some have argued that if all the world's leaders were women, then we would have way less wars. Sounds good to me. They would be blessed for being peacemakers and body bag manufacturers could concentrate on making designer back packs.
