Why is it that he can tear a ligament in his ankle and hardly walk, having me serving him hand and foot. Then a mate calls and he's suddenly well enough to hobble down the pub.

Only to wake up this morning complaining with an ankle the size of a beach ball caused by trying to play pool.

Sympathy all runout now, he can get his own cups of tea and eat dinner at the table from now on.

And women are so innocent right ??

Awww bless.

Lady, you have a lot to learn, m'dear.

Ahhh, the blessed innocence

Id rather be a man who's a chore to a woman than a woman who's a bore to a man!!

Sometimes its fun to play the man with a 'death cold'.. its mans way of retaliating to the womans role of ' I need attention.. when I talk to you look at me.. talk to me.. you dont love me.. respond to what Im saying.. focus.. do I look fat in this?.. you dont fancy me.. you neglect me.. YADA YADA YADA!!'

being ill is the chance to get the attention from a woman that we have to pay her every second of the day that she demands and afterwards still insists that we dont give her!!

Even though we would never admit that!! to tell a woman she is wrong is only a cue for an unneccessary argument... although she can tell us we are lazy, slobbish, unfit, neglectful insincere, unloving, filthy and we can do nothing about it or ever put it right.. and cant deny it as that would be, in effect calling her wrong which is forbidden ground!!

It's important to remember not to form a hasty generalisation from a single instance

Motivation.

It would have been a lot more appropriate to entitle this thread "my man", rather then generalise to "men". This way, you're just setting yourself up for abuse.

Feeling Green and Slimey now?

That ID, my dear is because we never are wrong. You guys just don't always realise that at first.

so far I have learnt that women get the last word in every argument...

...every word we say after that is the start of a new argument

and you say women are never wrong? well this girl Im after still wont go out with me...I personally feel like she is wrong

That's very true

My sweet Darling, you are misguided!!

You ARE wrong.. you just wont admit it.. and fearing the possibility that you will not 'show affection' if I continue to debate this matter.. I will give in and accept i am 'in the wrong' just to stop the motor in your mouth from making that god awful noise!!

I knew you'd come around eventually, I'll just pretend I didn't read the rest

It's a miracle - Alleluia!!!
(No? Thought not - tell Dave to fend for himself a for a day or two and come up to Blackpool with the rest of us !)

Thats because the rest is usually said in our head as we walk off cursing the day we ever met or regrettign the first time we never stood up to you.. but then we remember what it means to 'make up' and we smile.. for now.. till the next time

And then there is the part of the conversation women think they have had with you because they have rehearsed so many times in their heads (your responses included) and then forget they didn't actually communicate to you.

Then it is your fault when they take up from where they thought they had left off and you don't understand what they are talking about or how the decision had been made.

Well, thats how it happens in our house anyway....

Ah but we do communicate, you men just never listen
