Male Behavior 101
Another forward that I received from a friend. It's also funny and well, I
wanted to pass it on.
Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with
a wire long after hypothermia has set in.
Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop
the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If
another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be
able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and
everything, I wouldn't, know where to start." We will then drink beer.
Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me
soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman.
You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't a problem.
Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at
the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic
items like "cumin" or "tofu." For all I know, these are the same
thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up
anything for which "feminine hygiene product" is a euphemism. (F.Y.I.
guys - cumin is a spice)
Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working, I will
insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost
me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it
back together.
Because! I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my
hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss
a whole show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by
holding a calculator).
Because I'm a man, I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't
think we should stop and ask someone. Why would you listen to a
complete stranger? I mean, how the hell could he know where we're
going?
Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking
about. The answer is always either sex, cars, beer, or football. I
have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
Because I'm a man, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your
mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about
her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is
okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something
for my mother, too.
Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie.
Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.
Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought
what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of
shoes is fine. With the belt or without it---looks fine. Your hair
is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the year 2004, I will
share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking,
the gardening, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll
do the rest.
This has been a public service message for Women to better understand
the Male.
