Because there are seriously a million details that we REALLY, HONESTLY, TRULY, SERIOUSLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT. We really don't; I don't care WHAT we eat, I just care that we eat! But we know that YOU care, because as soon as we assume you don't care, we end up with THIS conversation:
"I really don't care. Where do YOU want to eat?"
"I don't care either. You pick."
"Okay, Chinese take-out it is."
"Ugh, NOT Chinese take-out, please."
YOU JUST SAID YOU DIDN'T CARE. >_<
Men, on the other hand...when we say we don't care, we really mean it. You know what we DO care about? WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. That's why we ask. That's why we want YOU to pick, when it comes to these things. Because we genuinely do NOT care, and we know that you are lying lying pants-are-frying when you say you don't care either.
(My old roommate said he wanted to open a restaurant called I Don't Care. I told him we should make it a chain with another one across town called Whatever. No more fights about where to eat.)
