The Woman's vs man's diary thing was sent to me wife by one of her lady friends, so it was a woman making fun of a woman's ability to misinterpret her mans non-verbal signals.
Men Rules

THIS!!!! I work in an office with 18 women and TWO men. No, none of them are "Hawt". It sure would make it better if they were. But they aren't. The other guy and I sit back and watch the catastrophe unfold each week.

1. Catty
2. Can't let things go which leads to weeks on top of weeks, possibly months of passive aggressive behavior. (i.e. disagreement with a co-worker)
3. Driven by every emotion
4. Simple things can't stay simple. They just have to be complicated.
I have had the good fortune of never having had to work alongside women, that is until 2010.
One female co-worker had a weekly emotional melt-down. Nobody helps me with this project.
"Okay, what help would you like?"
"Nobody does things the way I want them done."
"Okay, is your way the only way to do this?"
"No, but if someone 'helped,' I'd only have to do it twice. Never mind."
The other female employee came into my office once a week to threaten to quit work because her office partners (men) were jerks and slobs (which was true; they were slobs). I would talk to her office partners and they'd promise to straighten up.
Next week, she'd be in my office in tears. Finally, I said I would accept he resignation and the sobbing visits stopped.

I can't believe the timing of this thread. I was reminded this weekend of the alternate universe the thinking of a woman's is than of a man's. Even after over 40 years of learning from my mistakes (and I say "mistakes" in the context of the female point of view)....there is just no way to "keep the peace" all the time, no matter how much you try to consider their way of thinking.....and for the sake of my blood pressure, I'll just leave it at that!

It's really not about what she's complaining about. It never is. There's a video that circulates on FB from time to time called "It's really not about the nail." Watch it. It's a textbook explanation of what you're describing and what a many of men have to endure on a daily basis. But mother nature for the sake of procreation has played a cruel, cruel trick on men. It's called sex drive. The absolute lunacy (at times) that men will put up with just to enter into the "promised land" is borderline insane. My buddy has a great saying for this.
"If it weren't for sex drive we'd hunt them like wild game."
This is funny and a lot of it is true. :biggrin: My husband is lucky that I am an easy going person. I live in a house full of boys, so I just adapted. Lol
I must've lucked out because my wife actually will make it clear to me, "Hey, I just need you to listen..." or "Hey, I need a solution to this problem I have...". Part of my frustration with the opposite gender in the past was them not making this clear. Saved a lot of potential arguments between my wife and I.
