The Differences Between Men and Women
Inspired by a suggestion by Jordan - what are the differences between men and women ?
As Jordan quite rightly points out, not physical and no Hot Chick garbage, sensible stuff, well ….
One obvious one is multi-tasking.
A well known trait of women and failing amongst men. Women can successfully do several things at once, something most men struggle with.
The other side if that is that men tend to do single tasks better as they are able to concentrate totally on something.
It all goes back, as everthing does, to when we were cavemen, even problems parking cars can be traced that far back.
Any more for any more ?

Multi-Tasking
As before mentioned - men thinking after the fact, women thinking before it!
Women can do DIY. Only the caveman in the man, says ‘No me’ and then whines about it for days afterwards - didn’t have the right tools etc!!
Men do 80% of a job, they never finish it….. WHY??!!………
Come on men answer us!

I disagree with the act first think later.
Men tend to be more logical I think, women more prone to acting on a whim and sometimes a little flighty
As to finishing things off, I think men bore of minor details, like finishing touches etc. They see the main job basically done then lose interest.
Here’s 2 more
Women are more compassionate and less aggressive
Men tend to be more independent and less ‘needy’

Rod,
What is the difference between Men and Children?
Nothing!!!!!!
Most men I have had the pleasure and also been unfortunate to meet have, as you so rightly say, been extremely logical and think things through too much, whereas most of the women I know, speak first and ask questions later.
There is only one thing I have ever known a man to finish off!!!!!!!!!!

excellent
Interesting point about men and boys.
Men do retain their boyish traits and women tend not to.
Watch men when children get a train set or Scalextric set come out !
You would not get the same reaction from women when little grls get dolls out etc.
Here’s another:
Women are Stronger in a Domestic Crisis

I agree, I think that is because women just get on with the problem in hand, whereas men analyze the situation first.
What about this one………. WOMEN ARE BETTER DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!

I like your style ! You could be a female version of Rod Damon
I have to reply in a cliched away along the lines, they might be good drivers but how many women out there have had to get a man to park or get a car out of a tricky spot ?
On a genuine note, I have never been in a car with a woman driving and felt she is 100% fully in control of the vehicle. It happens in various degrees but is something akin to the woman just holding on with the car really being in charge and her just going with the flow.
Cheers

Rod,
Point taken,
I just thought it would make for a good argument. I am sure there are some men out there trying to think of a comment to make.
I can always remember being told that I am the best driver in the world,
but that was about 3 o’clock in the morning, coming home from a party, sober, with the man in my life, paraletic

Here’s another one …. women tend to have more empathy and therefore make better corporate managers, being able to detect and surpress negative vibes, so recent research suggests.

Rod,
Men say thank you when you hold a door open for them or give way to them when driving. As for driving, I have never met a woman who can drive and talk whilst watching the road at the same time. Last week I was in the car of one of my female employee’s who kept looking at me every time she spoke. When I suggested she looked at the oncoming traffic rather than myself (as difficult as that must be!) she replied ‘Yes, but it’s rude not to look at someone when you are talking to them!
Finally, women make crap friends, the women I work with constantly moan about their friends and generally bitch about them-blokes don’t.

you make some solid points there.
‘Yes, but it’s rude not to look at someone when you are talking to them!
Classic female logic
Here’s another:
Women talk more than men !
I know men always say women constantly gas on about everything and nothing but research has found it to be true.
Here is a quote from the research
Femme Fatale said,

Rod,
I once spent 6 hours on the phone to a male and recall that he did most of the talking, so as your research may be an average, I know someone that exceeds the norm by miles.
Therefore, Women Make Better Listeners

Another classic, you should comment more often.
To counteract that I suggest it’s s good thing men are better listeners, after all, they can learn so much by listening to men

We know some men, one in particular, who prefer the company of women due to the fact that there’s often nothing to be gleaned from their male acquaintances, who as you point out have very little to say, certainly nothing of any great interest!
Checkmate.

Rod said,
April 29, 2007 @ 11:24 am
WoE

Never !
I do prefer the company of women though you miss represent me. It’s true that much male conversation, football etc, is tedious to me.
If they do have anything of interest or use to say to me - I already know it
And yes, that was a joke for the odd ones who don’t get it
Being serious, male or female company ?
Depends entirely on what they have to offer - anything interesting to say ?
Conversation rather than simply talking etc
Failing that it’s always worth getting in inside track on how women think and operate, it’s certainly stood me in good stead.

” WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN”.
I think we’re all good in our own ways (vomit)
I think on the whole men are better but it’s a close call.
If we were on a planet of women there would be no wars and things would be doubtless nicer.
However, you’d have no cars to drive or bridges to cross rivers.
Where would be be if we relied solely on what women have achieved over the years
As to Sunday lunch, it was cooked by the only women who cannot be picked on or faulted
It was a culinary delight, of course !
All that said I know who was cooking the best food in Lincolnshire today ….
Our Man in the Kitchen !
The battle continues ……..

Female is of course the natural form, so we were all girlies in the beginning. Somewhere along the line there must have been a mutation and voila the male was born. Granted what we should have done was to ask for a refund but some bright spark said …. wait a minute, perhaps this could lead to cars and bridges so let’s keep them for a while. Like the Tribbles (?) on Star Trek and the grey squirrel … they seem to have multiplied at an alarming rate. Still, every now and again they produce a Daniel Craig so perhaps we should persevere ….. mmmmm Daviel Craig in touch with his feminine side, now that’s a hybrid worth waiting for!

that’s very true, we also have tails as well, just shows how nature improves upon what it starts
Talking about vermin multiplying are there more men than women in the world or vice versa ?
As to DC, well we cannot knnock him, he is a top man. (I am given to understand he showed his femnine side to the ladies in the shower scene in Casino ?

See how many posts?!! A woman is right again!!
Men always need praise, women don’t.
Men always phrase everything as their own, when most of the time is the good ole woman who has paid for it.

That’s certainly true in my experience, they’re usually behind you when it comes to paying bills
As to ticking, it’s women that tick, like time bombs waiting to go off !

Re your gems
Behind every man there’s a woman watching him work !
As to looking at women’s bums, guilty as charged
But did you consider that with the average dress size in this country being 16 it’s not so much that men are looking at women’s bums, often they just cannot see past them

A woman reversed into the side of me in a supermarket car park today, had she looked in any of her mirrors then she would have seen me. As I inspected my car she said: ‘Of all the cars I could have hit it had to be a BMW’
There’s female logic for you.

Same happened to me, drove all the way from Wales without stopping once and without incident.
Went straight to the Supermarket to restock before returning home and a woman drove into the side of the car.
She said she looked left and right but not in front of her !

Hi.
See you need all the help from us ladies that you can get.
Just look at all these posts!!
You must be having a memory slip (old age) which affects men sooner than women!
The ladies of your site should give you ’suggestions’ for topics more often i think.
Glad to be of assistance (being a woman i need no praise, pat on the back etc)

Rod,
Further to my experiencing female reversing the other day, I almost got hit by a female moped rider as I was turning into the gym car park this afternoon. Neglecting to look in front of her before pulling out she would have hit me straight in my drivers side. Luckily, I adopted my Schumacher like driving skills and narrowly missed getting hit. This after a forty minute drive from Branston to the centre of Lincoln. I felt like selling my car and locking myself in a shed.
