Super User Raul Posted February 10, 2009 Super User Posted February 10, 2009 I simply can 't understand them, men are from Mars, women are from Venus such thing has never been truer; you think you understand them ? ..... Yeah RIGHT : My ball and chain is a certified beautician, no she ain 't own no beauty parlor nor works in one, many times I 've told her if she wants to own a beauty parlor she can count on me with the money to install one, but no takers. Well, now what ya think she came up with ? She wants to learn how to make fingernails :, you know, them decorated fingernails women wear. What for ?!? :-? Well, curiosity killed the cat so ( dumb me : ) I just had to ask why she want to learn how to do that ( I supposed she wanted to do some business and make money ), she replied that she wants to learn just because. I don 't get it !!!! :-/ Quote
Daniel A. Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 ;D I don't think men and women are supposed to understand each other. What fun would that be?? Quote

farmpond1 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 And your point is?????? Ditto. It's better to just take a deep breath (sigh) and move on. Quote

Lucky Craft Man Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Let me take a step onto Venus for a moment... I'm sure she is thinking that you spend all this time and money fishing, which yields no financial return, so why does she (I am trying to think like the woman here) have to take up an interest or hobby that requires her to turn a profit. You fish and she wants invest time and money in making nails. Makes sense to me... Ok, I'm back on Mars...what a waste! Quote
Triton21 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 When I was a very young man I had a wise older MD give me the best advice I ever had about women. He said, "Kelley don't try to understand women just enjoy them". Best advice ever given to me. Quote

IDbasser Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 That is funny. My wife does that, and she has her shop in our house. She does nails very rarely, and I am glad. The smell from the stuff to do the nails is awful!! Quote

How many GD shoes could you possibly need . I don't say anything for fear she will cut me off from spending money on fishing stuff!! Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 11, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 11, 2009 How many GD shoes could you possibly need . That 's an easy one to answer, one or two pair of shoes to match with every single blouse/trousers your imagination can combine, which means a danged lotta shoes. > Ever happened to anybody that you go on a trip and she "forgot" one or two pairs of shoes in her lugage ? that mean you gotta take her shoe shopping.

Bass Dude Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 You don't think they have a forum where they talk about how much money we spend on fishing, do you?? :-[ Quote
Uncle Leo Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Guys here you go below sums it up, this is the best advice I ever heard. Nine Words Used By Women (1) Fine:This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. (2) Five Minutes:If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house. (3) Nothing:This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine. (4) Go Ahead:This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It! (5) Loud Sigh:This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.) (6) That's Okay:This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake. (7) Thanks:A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever'). (8) Whatever:Is a woman's way of saying F___YOU! (9) Don't worry about it, I got it:Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3. :D Quote
fivesixone Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 How 'bout shoes? I mean dollar for dollar, she leaves me in the dust! Her closet look like Macy's. 8-) Don't even get me started on purses. How the do women find it necessary to spend $3-400 on a friggin' purse?? Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 11, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 11, 2009 Don't even get me started on purses. How the do women find it necessary to spend $3-400 on a friggin' purse?? Yeah, I don 't get that one either ..... she gotta have several and to make it worse; i agree to a certain point if the purse were, hmmmm, let 's say, backpack size, but $3-400 for a teeny tiny purse ? :-?

Super User cart7t Posted February 12, 2009 Super User Posted February 12, 2009 If you take the worst, most unreliable car I ever owned and add it to the worst, most unreliable boat I ever owned, the cost of maintenance and upkeep on the both together are a drop in the bucket compared to my wife and her expenses.

Super User Long Mike Posted February 12, 2009 Super User Posted February 12, 2009 Gawd, I am lucky man. My bride for the last thirty-eight years has always been my best friend. I understand her nuances (which took me about twenty years to learn) and she understands mine (took her about fifteen minutes.) Quote
