NICKNAMES: If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.
EATING OUT: When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MONEY: A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need but is on sale.
ARGUMENTS: A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
FUTURE: A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
SUCCESS: 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.
MARRIAGE: A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t. A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does.
DRESSING UP: A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.
NATURAL: Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
OFFSPRING: Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no use in two people remembering the same thing!

Most of them were pretty funny and somewhat accurate. However, I differ in that I did not marry expecting my husband to change. I accepted him, the good and not so good. I love trying to figure out how he thinks and how he drives me crazy and work with those unique characteristics that make him who he (is the man I love) and try to solve reach a resolution taking both of are characteristics into account. I’m a neat freak and I’ve come to accept that my home is never going to be that way, there will always be piles of stuff everywhere that is his space. Otherwise, I would make myself sick.
And the thought of the day I will leave alone because that statement is just begging for someone to react to and I’m not jumping. However, the thoughts that will remain private are yelling at you.
Sadly, I think mum may have married and expected dad to change, but he didn’t!

I differ with you on a few points RYK
Although many I do agree with….
Women dont expect they man to change when they marry…
all that training should be carried out during the engagement….
anything after that is just reinforcing the training….

Hi RYK,
Oh how true this is
Very true, but wouldnt it be boring if we were all the same?

Leave my ex nieghbors alone
Oh dear….
Where would the men be without us?
Em xo
They would live shorter lives, not sleep as well and not be as happy. All results of actual scientific studies. My answer is a mess.
I think I laughed out loud at just about all of them…..hhmmmm I wonder if that is because I agree wholeheartedly with so many of them

This is list is very true..most of it.. The only thing I find that I could not agree on is:
NATURAL: Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
Haha, I wake up looking good..feeling good..

That is great!!! You sound like a morning person. I’m not a morning person and don’t wake up looking good. Sometimes, my husband just smiles at me and directs me to the mirror. All in fun…never any offense taken. I have to admit those times I look pretty bad.
True, Jim here and I often wake up with creases over my face like I’ve fallen asleep in a trouser press.
