I know this is going to sound as if I'm claiming that women are the superior species. Well, I'm going to present the evidence during this post and you, dear reader, can make up your own mind. Men are physically stronger than most women. They may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but they can remove the tightest jar lids, move furniture, and carry heavy packages easier than we can. However, there's not usually one around when any of the aforementioned tasks need doing so we do them ourselves. It may take us longer, and require thought, but we get the job done. There is one item that men are far superior at using than women are. It's called the TV remote, however, they usually need a woman to find it for them, and replace the batteries in it. Once they do have it in their hand they appear to be quite proficient at using it. Of course, I really don't understand the necessity to look at all 300 channels in 5 minutes, but...
The mind of woman is capable of detecting nuances in her surroundings. She knows when a particular shade of green is Woodland or Shamrock Green. Men know it's green, unless they're color blind, and they aren't particularly interested in what shade it is. Women can tell at a glance when something is out of place in a room, and they know how to fix it. Men, on the other hand, can only tell if their favorite chair has been moved to a spot no longer directly in front of the TV. Usually not until after they've sat in it, and called you in to hunt for the remote.
If a woman accidentally spills something, she knows enough to get up, grab cleaning cloths and take care of the problem. Men usually either call for help, or use the pillows or whatever else is at hand to sop up the mess.
There are other areas of difference which are far too many to enumerate here in this post. Since men are more visual than women are in some circumstances, I have provided for the use of graphics to illustrate my point. For example:
When a woman suggests putting a bit of romance into the relationship they usually think in terms of something like this:
Men on the other hand think of this:
To further illustrate my point the above graphic was provided to me on Sunday by a MALE member of Blogstream. Thank you TAB for your contribution.
When a man asks a woman to marry him and promises to help around the house, she thinks in terms of something like this:
Men think of this:
Lastly at those times, like Valentines Day, when a gift to show appreciation for all your lovely wife, girlfriend, or significant other is in order:
Women think of things like this.
Or this.
Men however, think of this.
Or this.
Hmmmm, might improve their aim? Nah, never mind.
It appears that having a successful relationship between members of the opposite sex is a testimonial to the nurturing nature of the female of the species. We give much and ask little, largely because we're finding out that guys are just that inept at so many things. It's a wonder you can live without us at all.
