MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE
Here's why...
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 it's on sale.
BATHROOMS
"¢ A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
"¢ The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.
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!
