understanding the opposite sex, and other great questions
Wednesday, June 9, 2004 by feline | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
it is time we had one of those almost deep and meaningful threads, something to get people thinking and chatting, yet disconnected from the world of skins and uploads.
it seems that there are three great unanswered questions in the world today:
a) where does all of my chocolate keep on disappearing to?
what is the ethical position on me kidnapping aliens, and using them for a cat bed over the weekend?
c) why do SO many people believe that the opposite sex are totally incomprehensible?
well, lets tackle these in order.
question a: i am awaiting results on the big pit traps i put all around my chocolate stash
personally i suspect that fuzzy logic has something to do with this...
question b: there seem to be regular circuits of hype about alien abductions. the thing is, if some alien turns up, and lounges around looking like a cat bed, then it is really so wrong to take the natural course of action, and sleep on them for the weekend?
question c: now this is the hard one.
let me start with two recent events at work:
* man asks the office what he can get his girl friend for her birthday. the obvious reply "something she likes" fails quite spectacularly, since it turns out he has no real idea what she likes *stunned expression*
* manager at work (another man) comments that "if God had meant men to understand women, he would have provided a manual." since he doesn't seem to understand women, this seemed to be his real opinion on the subject.
after much study, i have reached several conclusions on this subject:
* humans were put on earth to make a fuss of cats
* men think logically
* if you understand the situation and the man, most men behave in a logical and quite understandable manor.
* women think logically
* if you understand the situation and the woman, most women behave in a logical and quite understandable manor.
so, how come only cats seem to be able to understand both men and women? how come men and women cannot understand both men and women?
do cats understand men and women? of course they do! all you have to do is to watch a cat, and see how well the cat can apply their understanding of the humans to the task of getting appropriate treatment

A cautionary tale.
'Er Indoors' decides one Summer she would like a chamomile lawn. So your very own Journeyman dutifully raises 84 individual plants and once they've matured - prepares an area of garden where there is a bench and then carefully transplants all 84 individually and carefully grown plants to create a beautiful half crescent lawn where she can sit on a bright Summers day and brush her bare feet on the plants to release the gentle aroma of chamomile.
You're very own Journeyman was then informed by 'Er Indoors' after experiencing this delight of sight and aroma that she had changed her mind cos 'she didn't like the smell'
Go Figure (this is a true story)

Fuzzy, females can work the mechanicals just fine... we just prefer to let do the job.
Kona... my cats do talk, one even says "Mom" on a regular basis, usually when he wants me to fill his food bowl, or turn the water on in the bathtub, so he can play with the drops of water.
Yes, he is a strange kitty
feline, I will take your advise to heart(and tummy)!

..... and how about free-spirited, entertaining (how boring would your life be without trying to read a womans mind?) and affectionate?
aufisch pictures footsie's husband......better not!

| I have considered question C many times and have concluded women and cats are very similar in many ways. They are both lazy, independent, useless with mechanical things, never do as they are told, leave hair all over the place... and purr when tickled |

To answer question number 3...Isn't it obvious medical analysis that men are driven by a different hormones than women? The male hormone is testosterone and aggressive. This drives the male towards aggressive endeavors. Mechanics, fighting and things like that. Men tend to lean towards those with the same hormones. At least until there puberty kicks in. Then, conquest and desire for women become very important. Conquest being not only women, but other men as well.
Women are driven by estrogen. A hormone that I have yet to understand(being that I am male). But, they seem to lean towards more emotional feelings, and think differently as a result. Women want comfort and security, and will therefore lean towards men who are good conquerors and therefore better providers. Love seems to be the meeting place for the two genders. Although, love to each gender seems to be slightly different. Love for a man seems to be slightly more physical as for a woman it seems to be slightly more emotional. Men tend to be happiest when the physical desires are met, as women tend to be happier when the emotional is met. The problem comes when a man wants his physical needs met before a women has here needs met. Women clearly know how to meet a mans needs and yet men have a awful time meeting a womans emotional needs. This is because a man can't read what is in a woman's mind, nor can he understand it because of his hormonal state. As a result communication is paramount to achieving a happy state in love. And women can also appear quite psycho at times because of their hormone which only other women can seem to clearly understand.
I just hope that in giving this/my opinion, it doesn't turn into a flaming session against me. I love, appreciate and believe in honoring women wholeheartedly. I am just "in touch" with my emotional side as well. Especially, when it comes to state of women in a male/testosterone driven society. Spew ended.

What is a Dog?
1. Dogs spend all day sprawled on the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house.
2. They can hear a package of food opening half a block away, but don't hear you when you're in the same room.
3. They can look dumb and lovable all at the same time.
4. They growl when they are not happy.
5. When you want to play, they want to play.
6. When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7. They leave their toys everywhere.
8. They do disgusting things with their mouths and then try to give you a kiss.
9. They go right for your crotch as soon as they meet you.
