A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. Married men live longer than single men - but married men are a lot more willing to die. Any married man should forget his mistakes - there's no use in two people remembering the same thing. Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. THE LAST 10 THINGS ANY WOMAN WOULD EVER SAY: 10. Could our relationship be more physical? I'm tired of just being friends. 9. Go ahead and leave the seat up, it's easier for me to douche that way. 8. I think hairy butts are really sexy. 7. Hey, get a whiff of that one. 6. Please don't throw that old T-shirt away, the holes in the armpits are just too cute. 5. This diamond is just way too big. 4. I won't even put my lips on that thing unless I get to swallow. 3. WOW, it really IS 14 inches. 2. Does this outfit make my butt look too small? 1. I'm wrong, you must be right again. THE LAST 10 THINGS ANY MAN WOULD EVER SAY: 10. I think Barry Manilow is one cool motherfucker. 9. While I'm up, can I get you a beer? 8. I think hairy butts are really sexy. 7. Her tits are just too big. 6. Sometimes I just want to be held. 5. The chick in "Murder She Wrote" gives me a woody. 4. Sure, I'd love to wear a condom. 3. We haven't been to the mall in ages. Let's go shopping and I can hold your purse. 2. Fuck "Monday Night Football," let's watch "Murphy Brown." 1. I think we're lost, we'd better pull over and ask for directions. News Bulletin: Men and Women are not alike. Sure, you thought you already knew that. But now we have conclusive proof! After countless hours of surveys and studies on the following topics, these facts have emerged: RELATIONSHIPS: First, a man does not call a relationship a relationship - he refers to it as "that time when me and Suzie were boinking on a semi-regular basis." When a relationship ends, a woman will cry and pour her heart out to her girlfriends, and she will write a poem titled "All Men Are Idiots." Then she will get on with her life. A man has a little more trouble letting go. Six months after the breakup - at 3 am early on a Sunday morning - he will call and say "I just wanted you to let you know you ruined my life, and I'll never forgive you, and I hate you, and you're a total floozy. But I want you to know there's always a chance for us." This is known as the "I Hate You/I Love You" drunken phone call, that 99% of all men have made at least once. There are community colleges that offer courses to help men get over this need; alas these classes rarely prove effective. SEX: Women prefer 30-45 minutes of foreplay. Men prefer 30-45 seconds of foreplay. Men consider driving back to her place as part of the foreplay. MATURITY: Women mature much faster than men. Most 17-year-old females can function as adults. Most 17-year-old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work out. HATS: Women look good in hats; men look like dorks. COMEDY: Let's say a small group of men and women are in a room, watching tele- vision, and an episode of "The Three Stooges" comes on. Immediately, the men will get very excited - they will laugh uproariously, and even try to imitate the actions of Curly, man's favorite stooge. The women will roll their eyes and groan and wait it out. HANDWRITING: To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch. Women use scented, colored stationery and they dot their "i's" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p's" and "g's." It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she's dumping you, she'll put a smiley face at the end of the note. BATHROOMS: A man has at most six items in his bathroom - a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving crewam, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn. The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. MAGAZINES: Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked women. Women's magazines also feature pictures of naked women. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day. GROCERIES: A woman makes a list of things she needs and then goes to the store and buys these things. A man waits until the only items left in his fridge are half of a lemon, and something turning green. Then he goes grocery shopping. He buys everything that looks good. By the time he reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on The Beverley Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10-items-or-less lane. GOING OUT: When a man says he's ready to go out, it means he's ready to go out. When a woman says she's ready to go out, it means that she WILL be ready to go out, as soon as she finds her other earring, finishes putting on her makeup... SHOES: When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, and then slip into Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When she arrives at work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later, she will kick them off because her feet are under her desk. A man wears one pair of shoes for the entire day. LEG WARMERS: Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she's walking the dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can wear them any time she wants. A man can only ear leg warmers if he is auditioning for the "Gimme the Ball" number in "A Chorus Line." CATS: Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. MIRRORS: Men are vain; they will check themselves out in the mirror. Women are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface - mirrors, spoons, store windows, toasters, Joe Garagiola's head... GARAGES: Women use garages to park their cars and to store their lawnmowers. Men use garages for many things. They hang license plates in garages, they watch TV in garages, and they build useless wooden things in garages. MOVIES: For women, their favorite movie scene is when Clark Gable kisses Vivien Leigh for the first time in "Gone With The Wind." For men, it's when Jimmy Cagney shoves a grapefruit in Mae Clark's face in "Public Enemy." JEWELRY: Women look nice when they wear jewelry. A man can get away with wearing one ring, and that's it. Any more than that, and he will look like a lounge singer named Vic. MENOPAUSE: When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree of the changes varies with the individual. Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction. He buys aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for an expensive foreign sports car. THE TELEPHONE: Men see the telephone as a communications tool. They use the telephone to send short messages to other people. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours. LOW BLOWS: Let's say a man and a woman are watching a boxing match on television, and one of the fighters is felled by a low blow. The woman says "Oh, gee, that must hurt." The man doubles over and actually feels pain. DIRECTIONS: If a woman is out driving and she finds herself in unfamiliar surroundings, she will stop at a gas station and ask for directions. Men consider this to be a sign of weakness. A man will never stop and ask for directions. Men will drive in a circle for hours, all the while saying things like, "Looks like I've found a new way to get there," and, "I know I'm in the neighborhood. I recognize that White Hen store." ADMITTING MISTAKES: Women will sometimes admit making a mistake. The last man who admitted that he was wrong was Gen. George Custer. RICHARD GERE: Women like Richard Gere because he is sexy in a dangerous way. Men hate Richard Gere because he reminds them of that slick guy who works out at the health club and dates only married women. OFFSPRING: Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, get the mail... A man will dress up for: weddings, funerals. NUDITY IN MOVIES: Every actress in the history of movies has had to do a nude scene. This is because every movie in the history of movies has been produced by men. The only actor who has ever appeard nude in the movies is Richard Gere. This is another reason why men hate him. DAVID LETTERMAN: Men think David Letterman is the funniest man on the face of the earth. Women think he is a mean, semi-dorky guy who always has a bad haircut. CAMERAS: Men take photography very seriously. They'll shell out $4000 for state- of-the-art equipment, and build darkrooms, and take photography classes. Women purchase Kodak Instamatics, and often produce better-looking shots. POLITICS: Men love to talk about politics, but they often forget to do political things such as voting. Women are very happy that another generation of Kennedys is growing up and getting into politics, because they will be able to campaign for them and cry on election night. LOCKER ROOMS: In the locker room, men talk about three things: money, football, and women. They exaggerate about money, they don't know football nearly as well as they think they do, and they fabricate stories about women. Women talk about one thing in the locker room - sex. Not in abstract terms, either. They're graphic and technical, and they *never* lie. LAUNDRY: Women do laundry every couple of days. A man will wear every article of clothing he owns, including his surgical pants that were hip about eight years ago, before he will do his laundry. Wehn he is finally out of clothes, he will wear a dirty sweatshirt inside out, rent a U-Haul and take his mountain of clothes to the laundromat, and expect to meet a beautiful woman while he is there. WEDDINGS: When reminiscing about weddings, women talk about the "ceremony." Men talk about "the bachelor party." CHEERLEADERS: Female cheerleaders are cute, sexy, fresh, and all-American. Male cheerleaders are scary. SOCKS: Men wear sensible socks. They wear standard white sweatsocks. Women wear strange socks. They are cut way below the ankles, have pictures of clouds on them, and have a big fuzzy ball on the back. TOYS: Little girls love to play with toys. Then, when they reach the age of 11 or 12, they lose interest. Men never grow out of their obsession with toys. As they get older, their toys simply become more expensive and impractical. Examples of mens toys: miniature TV's, car phones, complicated juicers and blenders, graphic equalizers, small robots the serve cocktails on command, video games, and anything that blinks, beeps and requires at least six "D" batteries to operate. PLANTS: A woman will ask a man to water her plants while she is on vacation. The man will water the plants. The woman returns five days later, to an apartment full of dead plants. No one knows why this happens. MUSTACHES: Some men look good with mustaches: Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds. There are no women who look good with mustaches. NICKNAMES: With the exception of female body-builders, who call each other names like "Ultimate Pecs" and "Big Turk," women eschew the use of nicknames. If Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle get together for lunch, they will call each other Gloria, Suzanne, Deborah and Michelle. But if Mike, Dave and Jack go out for a brewski, they will affectionately refer to each other as Bullet-Head, Peanut-Brain, and Useless. HAIR: Haircuttee - Woman1 Haircut Noticer - Woman2 2: Oh! That's so cute! 1: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she was gave me the mirror. I mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking? 2: Oh God no! No, it's perfect. I'd love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think. 1: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck. 2: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from this two-by-four I have for a shoulder line. 1: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms - see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier. Haircuttee - Man1 Haircut Noticer - Man2 2: Haircut? 1: Yeah. RESTROOMS Women use restrooms as social lounges. Men in a restroom will never speak a word to each other. Never in the history of the world has a man excused himself from a restaurant table by saying, "Hey Stan, I was just about to take a leak. Do you want to join me? Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons. EATING OUT: When the girls get their check, out come the pocket calculators. When the check comes, Mike, Dave, Rob and Jack will each throw in $20 bills, even though it's only for $22.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back. TIME: When a woman says she'll be ready to go out in five more minutes, she's using the same meaning of time as when a man says the football game's just got five minutes left. Neither of them is counting time outs, commercials, or replays. CONVERSATION: Men need a good disagreement to get talking, e.g., "Wow, great movie.", What are you, nuts? No REAL cop would have an Uzi that size.", "Well, maybe he got... The Most Important Difference of All COLORED UNDERWEAR: Women are allowed, in fact encouraged, to wear colored underwear. There is no reason for a man to ever, ever, wear anything besides solid white. he Perfect Day According To : HER 8:45 Wake up to hugs and kisses 9:00 5 pounds lighter on the scale 9:30 Light breakfast 11:00 Sunbathe 12:30 Lunch with best friend at outdoor cafe 1:45 Shopping 2:30 Run into boyfriend's/husband's ex - notice she's gained 30 lbs. 3:00 Manicure, Facial, massage, nap 7:30 Candlelight dinner for two and dancing 10:00 Make slow, sweet, romantic love 11:30 Pillow talk in his big strong arms HIM 10:00 Wake up 10:02 Oral sex 10:10 Big Breakfast 11:30 Drive up coast in Ferrari with gorgeous babe with big hooters 2:15 Enormous lunch 3:15 Oral sex 3:25 Play sports with the guys 4:30 Drink beer with the guys 6:30 Meet Claudia Schiffer 6:40 Oral sex 6:50 Huge dinner, more beer 11:00 Full on, get down, gorilla sex 11:10 Sleep The Female Stages Of Life Age Drink 17 Wine Coolers 25 White wine 35 Red wine 48 Dom Perignon 66 Shot of Jack with an Ensure chaser Excuses For Refusing Dates 17 Need to wash my hair 25 Need to wash and condition my hair 35 Need to color my hair 48 Need to have Francois color my hair 66 Need to have Francois color my wig Favorite Sport 17 shopping 25 shopping 35 shopping 48 shopping 66 shopping Drug 17 shopping 25 shopping 35 shopping 48 shopping 66 shopping Definition Of A Successful Date 17 "Burger King" 25 "Free meal" 35 "A diamond" 48 "A bigger diamond" 66 "Home Alone" Favorite Fantasy 17 tall, dark, and handsome 25 tall, dark, and handsome with money 35 tall, dark, and handsome with money and a brain 48 a man with hair 66 a man House Pet 17 Muffy the cat 25 Unemployed boyfriend and Muffy the Cat 35 Irish setter and Muffy the Cat 48 Children from first marriage and Muffy the Cat 66 Retired husband dabbles in taxidermy, stuffs Muffy the Cat What's The Ideal Age To Get Married? 17 17 25 25 35 35 48 48 66 66 Ideal Date 17 He offers to pay 25 He pays 35 He cooks breakfast the next morning 48 He cooks breakfast the next morning for the kids 66 He can chew breakfast Men's Life Styles through Age AGE DRINK 17 beer 25 beer 35 vodka 48 double vodka 66 Maalox SEDUCTION LINE 17 My parents are away for the weekend. 25 My girlfriend is away for the weekend. 35 My fiancee is away for the weekend. 48 My wife is away for the weekend. 66 My second wife is dead.

Withhold sex until he has accounted for every single minute since he last left your sight. Ask him what he's feeling. Call him childish for wearing socks to bed, then cuddle up real close, and put your ice-cold feet directly on his bare skin. Complain that you have nothing to wear, then borrow all his clothes. Bonus if you lounge around the house in the white, collared shirt he planned to wear for his big presentation at work. Throw a fit about him not doing "his share" of the laundry. After four dates, start to leave bridal magazines around. Ask him what he's feeling. Men are intensely interested in female genitalia. Make him buy your douche and "feminine hygiene" supplies. Make him toss out his favorite pair of sneakers so you have room for your third pair of black suede pumps with two-inch heels. Alternatively, make him toss out his trusty 501s so you can keep those size-4 Calvin's that you're sure you'll be able to fit into again. If he's 20 minutes late to pick you up, call the police and report him missing. If he takes too long getting back from the grocery store, tell him he should have called. Whenever you are within 15 feet of a human under the age of five, you must coo and gurgle at them for not less than 12.5 minutes. Any less and people will call you a monster. Men have no idea how to have a good time. Scalp his Superbowl tickets, and buy box seats to Wagner's "Ring." Ask him why he can't be as trustworthy and sensitive as Michael on "thirtysomething." If he's trustworthy and sensitive, ask him why he can't be as exciting and daring as Magnum P.I. Ask him what he's feeling. Spend a fortune on salad greens--arugula, cilantro, etc.--then buy generic-brand beer. Redecorate his house/apartment. Make sure at least one large piece of furniture in each room (e.g., sofa, bed) is covered with a floral print. Throw out his clear-plastic shower curtain and replace it with one that features swans. "Forget" to take the Pill. Dump him for a stranger in a BMW. Men can see only very bright colors. Use a trowel to apply makeup. Tell him about the time/s you achieved multiple orgasms with other men. Give exact numbers by taking the highest number you've ever achieved with him, then add one. Speeding tickets are for other people to pay. Bat your eyelashes and pretend not to know anything about cars. Ask the officer if he thinks your speedometer might be wrong because the radiator leaks. Allow him to explain to you all about cars until he completely forgets about the ticket. Dress up in your sexiest outfit, then when he tries to get close, tell him you'll kill him if he messes up your hair. Compare notes with all your girlfriends about every detail of your sex life. Make sure he knows you've done this, then pretend not to notice that they all giggle when they see him. Have half an inch trimmed off your hair. Go ballistic when he doesn't notice. Ask him what he's feeling. Every once in a while, tell him you think you might be pregnant, just to see his eyes bug out. (Alternate: just to get his hopes up.) Ask him which dress looks better: the magenta or the burgundy. Pump his mother for information about old girlfriends. If you're peeved, sulk. If he notices and asks if anything is wrong, say "Oh, nothing," then keep sulking. Then pick a fight at three in the morning. Call him three times a day, every day. After two weeks of this, ask him why he never calls you. Make sure he notices you: ask him whether you look fat. What Every Woman Should Know About Men Everyone knows that testosterone, the so-called male hormone, is found in both men and women. What is not so well known is that men have an overdose. Until now it has been thought that the level of testosterone in men is normal simply because they have it. But if you consider how abnormal their BEHAVIOR is, then you are led to the hypothesis that almost all men are suffering from TESTOSTERONE POISONING. The symptoms are easy to spot. Suffers are reported to show an early preference (while still in the crib) for geometric shapes. Later, they become obsessed with machinery and objects to the exclusion of human values. They have intense need to rank everything, and are obsessed with size. (At some point in his life, nearly every male measures his penis.) It is well known that men don't look like other people. They have chicken legs. This is symptomatic of the disease, as is the fact that those men with the most aviary underpinnings will rank women according to the shapeliness of THEIR legs. The pathological violence of most men hardly needs to be mentioned. They are responsible for more wars than any other leading sex. Testosterone poisoning is particularly cruel because its sufferers usually don't know they have it. In fact, when they are most under its sway they believe that they are at their healthiest and most attractive. They even give each other medals for exhibiting the most advanced symptoms of the illness. But there is hope. Sufferers can change (even though it is harder than learning to walk again). They must first realize, however, that they are sick. The fact that this condition is inherited in the same way that dimples are does not make it cute. Eventually, of course, telethons and articles in the READER'S DIGEST will dramatize the tragedy of testosterone poisoning. In the meantime it is imperative for your friends and loved ones to become familiar with the danger signs. Have the men you know take this simple test for - The Seven Warning Signs of Testosterone Poisoning 1. DO YOU HAVE AN INTENSE NEED TO WIN? When having sex, do you take pride in always finishing before your partner? Do you always ask if this time was "the best" - and gnaw on the bedpost if you get an ambiguous answer? 2. DOES VIOLENCE PLAY A BIG PART IN YOUR LIFE? Before you answer, count up how many hours you watched football, ice hockey, and children's cartoons this year on television. When someone crosses you, do you wish you could stuff his face full of your fist? Do you ever poke people in your fantasies or throw them to and fro at all? When someone cuts you off in traffic, do violent, angry curses come bubbling out of your mouth before you know it? If so, you're in big trouble, fella, and this is only question number two. 3. ARE YOU "THING" ORIENTED? Do you value the parts of a woman's body more than the woman herself? Are you turned on by things that even REMIND you of those parts? Have you ever fallen in love with a really great doorknob? 4. DO YOU HAVE AN INTENSE NEED TO REDUCE EVERY DIFFICULT SITUATION TO CHARTS AND FIGURES? If you were present at a riot, would you tend to count the crowd? If your wife is desponder~back that has left her feeling helpless, do you take her temperature? 5. DO YOU TEND TO MEASURE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY QUALITATIVE? Are you more impressed with how high a male ballet dancer can leap that with what he does while he's up there? Are you more concerned with how long you can spend in bed, and with how many orgasms you can have, than you are with how you or your partner feels while you're there? 6. ARE YOU A LITTLE TOO MECHANICALLY MINDED? Would you like to watch a sunset with a friend and feel at one with nature and each other, or would you rather take apart a clock? 7. ARE YOU EASILY TRIGGERED INTO COMPETITION? When someone tries to pass you on the highway, do you speed up a little? Do you find yourself getting into contests of crushing beer cans -- with the beer still in them? If you've answered yes to three or fewer of the above questions, you may be learning to deal with your condition. A man answering yes to more than three is considered sick and not someone you'd want to have around in a crisis -- such as raising children or growing old together. Anyone answering yes to all seven of the questions should seek help in a high-wire act. What To Do If You Suffer From Testosterone Poisoning 1. DON'T PANIC. Your first reaction may be that you are sicker than anyone else -- or that you are the one man in the world able to fight it off -- or, knowing that you are a sufferer, that you are the one man ordained to lead others to health (such as by writing articles about it). These are all symptoms of the disease. Just relax. First, sit back and enjoy yourself. Then find out how to enjoy somebody else. 2. TRY TO FEEL SOMETHING. (Not with your hands, you oaf.) Look at a baby and see if you can appreciate it. (Not how BIG it's getting, just how nice she or he is.) See if you can get yourself to cry by some means other than getting hit in the eye or losing a lot of money. 3. SEE IF YOU CAN LISTEN WHILE SOMEONE IS TALKING. Were you the one talking? Perhaps you haven't got the idea yet. 4. PRACTICE THIS SENTENCE: "You know, I think you're right and I'm wrong." (Hint: it is useful to know what the other person thinks before you say this.) For Women Only: What To Do If You Are Living With a Sufferer 1. Remember that a little sympathy is a dangerous thing. The sufferer will be inclined to interpret any concern for him as appropriate submissiveness. 2. Let him know that you expect him to fight his way back to health and behave like a normal person -- for his own sake, not for yours. 3. Only after he begins to get his condition under control and has actually begun to enjoy life should you let him know that there is no such thing as testosterone poisoning. - Alan Alda, 1975. Woman's Quote of the Day: Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with." Man's Quote of the Day: "Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache."

There once was a perfect man who met a perfect woman. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the roadside in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident. Who was the survivor? (Scroll down for the answer.) down a little further... The perfect woman. She's the only one that really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man... (Women, end e-mail here. Men, keep scrolling.) Keep scrolling...men only So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the perfect woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident. (by the way if you're a woman, and you're reading this...it brings up another point...women never listen either.) |
