Oops, hadn't meant to begin a new topic before finishing with the laundry and chocolate ones :o. And just for the record, no men handling the important laundry, please; if you don't know what I mean, you mow the lawn; I'll do the washing.

Oracle, men seem to de-stress with laughter, while women seem to cry when they have reached the point of SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. While the women like the sympathy (okay, not all of them.... some women abhor it), men seem to get over the pain better if a joke is made of the situation. If someone were to laugh when I got hurt, I'd take it as an insult.

Okay, I doubt I'm going to have time to read through the first 30 pages of this. Or however many we're up to by now. Great thread, DiDi :cool: Oh, we should rate it; I'll do so when I'm done typing, assuming I don't forget. Anyway, other than the first few pages, and the previous few pages, I haven't read most of this thread, so IDK if anyone has asked this yet, but I'll volunteer the answer :). The reason that women get cold quicker than men is simple: we have the babies with us more, so we need to be more sensitive to temperature changes, since the babies are more sensitive. If we feel cold, we're much more likely to remember to cover up the little one. Same goes for feeling hot sooner; we have a small threshold for comfort to make sure the baby stays in an acceptable range. At least, that's what I think; it makes sense anyway :).

I think God gave women cold feet as a reminder to their husbands to be nice to them. If not, our feet might accidentally find the middle of their backs in the middle of the night while they sleep. I have heard of such things happening. :)
 
Probably for the same reasons guys do. :)

I personally do it just to see if a guy has a sense of humor. :)

I don't know if we really LIKE them, but we need them for grass mowing purposes and to reach the high stuff :D

Seriously though, they are snuggly if properly groomed, funny and can actually hold a more intelligent conversation than my dog, so I think they're pretty cool ;)

Okokokok..REALLY serious now. We respect them as leaders. We like a strong shoulder to lean on. We like feeling loved and protected.

I like your answer :-)

Men and women have different mating strategies and must live up to some minimum requirements to be accepted in our culture.

Men size up women as baby-making material, and women size up men as a meal ticket.

If a man will not provide for his wife, it really does not matter what else he does. If a women will not care for her children, again it really does not matter what else she does.

Men also have to exhibit handyman skills, and women some home economic skills - a lot of overlap is okay though. But for the high-end duties, they fall along man/woman traditions. Like my wife won't let me touch the important laundry (towels are okay), and I refurbished the grill (seriously dirty, grungey, and grill parts that should effortllessly fit together, don't).

I have also noticed that when a man gets injured in a group of men, they usually laugh (at least at first), about the injury. Women sympathize from the start. Any idea why?

Wow, I usually look for women who have ZERO inclination toward having children. Cause the children obsessed ones are not looking for a meal ticket, they just want children. They don't want a man who challenges them to grow personally. They already have their children's names picked out, before they even know who their father is going to be.

At this point in my life, I could probably build a house with just construction materials. I could even probably assemble a car from just parts too. <irrelevant to practically all the women I know.
 
I've found that once you do something like that, people are quite impressed. But just saying you can do it doesn't do much for them.

Me thinks you speak in half truths. Somehow I think what you heard was the hollering that comes as a direct result of a certain red head's cold foot stuck in the middle of someone's back in the middle of the night.

People alllllllllllways seem to think such terrible things of redheads, don’t they? Not sure why that is. :D ;) This is probably why they don’t put their pics up much. Then again, it could be that gingers’ images don’t show up in mirrors or photographs, huh? :p

It isn't the hair color, nor the gender that causes the thought process. It's knowing that a particular female ginger has a devious side. :D
 
okay, question!
....
who enjoys cooking? I'm wondering if more men like cooking more than women or women like cooking more than men.
 
I do, and I'm not too shabby either! It takes a lot though...why cook, spend time, money, effort, and have dishes...when I can go get something delicious, instantly-gratifying, and no mess?

I think a particular female ginger prefers "mischievious" to "devious", but who am I to say. :)

Seriously though......... I've been more than a little stressed out for the past week or so about some personal stuff, and I haven't exactly been on my best behavior. :(

I appreciate you and so many others, Oncefallen, for helping me keep my sense of humor up. Truly. :) There are so many people who are quick to turn on someone at the first sign of a mistake, or a bad day, or a bad week, no matter how kind or edifying they have known you to be.

Seriously...thanks :) <3

I really enjoy cooking, especially recipes I create myself. Wish I had more opportunities to cook for folks than I do.

My stepdad was an amazing cook and I learned so much from him. My mom hated cooking..and it showed. haha
 
I want to learn, I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it or not though XD I enjoy baking ^.^
