    Female Logic



    Understanding Female Logic - Chapter 1
    A translation of what women say and what they really mean ........

    "Yes" = No

    "No" = Yes

    "Maybe" = No

    "I'm sorry" = You'll be sorry

    "We need" = I want

    "It's your decision" = The correct decision should be obvious by now

    "Do what you want" = You'll pay for this later

    "We need to talk" = I need to complain

    "Sure go ahead" = I don't want you to

    "I'm not upset" = Of course I'm upset, you moron!

    "You're so manly" = You need a shave and you sweat a lot

    "Be romantic, turn out the lights" = I have flabby thighs

    "This kitchen is so inconvenient" = I want a new house

    "I want new curtains" = and carpeting, and furniture, and wallpaper

    "I heard a noise" = I noticed you were almost asleep

    "Do you love me?" = I'm going to ask for something expensive

    "How much do you love me?" = I did something today you're going to hate

    "I'll be ready in a minute" = Just going to wash my hair

    "You have to learn to communicate" = Just agree with me

    "Are you listening to me!?" = Too late, you're dead
    Quote of the Day

    Women's Quote of the Day:

    "Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you'd like to have dinner with."

    Men's Counter-Quote of the Day:

    "Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache"

    And some for Men ..........

    How many men does it take to open a beer ?
    None. It should be opened by the time she brings it.

    Why is a Laundrette a really bad place to pick up a woman ?
    Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.

    Why do women have smaller feet than men ? It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.

    How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart ?
    When she starts her sentence with "A man once told me . . ."

    If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first ?
    The dog of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

    What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig ?
    A woman that won't do what she's told.

    I married Miss Right.
    I just didn't know her first name was Always.

    I haven't spoken to my wife for 18 months:
    I don't like to interrupt her.

    Marriage is a 3 ring circus: Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring, Suffering.

    Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me "What's on the TV ?"
    I said, "Dust !"

    In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
    Then God created Man and rested.
    Then God created Woman.
    Neither God nor Man has rested since.

    Why do men die before their wives ?
    They want to.

    A beggar walked up to a well dressed woman shopping on Rodeo Drive and said, "I haven't eaten anything in four days." She looked at him and said, "God, I wish I had your willpower."

    Laws women live by

    1. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

    2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

    3. If we put a man on the moon - we should be able to put them all up there.

    4. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.

    5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.

    6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces so that you can tell them apart.

    7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

    8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

    9. Best way to get a man to do something: suggest he's too old for it.

    10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

    11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

    12. The children of Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

    13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.

    14. Remember: a sense of humor does not mean you tell him jokes; it means you laugh at his.

    15. Sadly, all men are created equal.

    Just a thought for all the women out there... MENtal illness, MENstrual cramps, MENtal breakdown, MENopause

    Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men?

    An analysis for Men ..........

    IT IS SATURDAY, a crisp spring afternoon, and you're exactly where you should be: stretched out on the couch in front of a televised sporting event, opening beer number two, relaxed in the knowledge that the pizza you ordered is even now on its way. Nothing could improve this moment, except maybe a bigger television.

    Suddenly your wife/girlfriend enters the room and says, "What exactly do you think you're doing?"

    Is this a trick question? Yes, it is. The trick is that no matter how you answer it, you will immediately find yourself driving down to your nearest home-improvement centre, where you will spend the rest of the afternoon trying to decide the type of curtain rod that's right for you.

    How does this work?

    It has as much to do with the nature of the question itself as with anything else. Women are expert at posing questions that seem to have no right answer. Here's a common example.

    "DO I LOOK FAT?"

    There is no answer to this question that won't be interpreted "yes". "No" means yes. "Yes" means yes. "I don't know" means yes. "It doesn't matter" means yes. The briefest hint of a pause before speaking means yes, yes, yes. Most of us would rather take our degrees again than field this one, yet it may well come up several times a week. Your only real choice is to say no, clearly and immediately, leaving no possibility for any subtext, and making it sound like a widely acknowledged fact and not simply your opinion. This doesn't work, but all the other options are worse.

    There are several other questions for which "no" is the only answer, and several more that call for an emphatic and unqualified yes. In all of these cases, elaboration, justification or any attempt to be funny is unlikely to pay off.

    Consult this handy chart:

    JUST SAY NO
    Is there someone else?
    Do you still fantasise about her?
    Are you tired of me?

    JUST SAY YES
    Do you still love me?
    Do you ever fantasise about me?
    Do you like my hair this way?

    Unfortunately, many female inquiries require more than a simple yes or no response. Some of them are more like riddles. Such as this one:

    "WHICH SHOES LOOK BETTER?"

    Typically you're already late for dinner when your wife/girlfriend confronts you, with one pair of shoes on and another alongside them. This is no ordinary choice. It's a devious chicken/egg puzzler, the sort of choice that would lead even Hobson to say to Mrs. Hobson, "Whichever, you old trout!" If you pick the shoes she already has on, she'll think you're trying to hurry her. If you pick the other pair, she'll think it's because you know you can't pick the ones she has on. Some men try a non-linear approach and opt for a third, unoffered pair of shoes, but this is inevitably taken as either an attack on her judgement or an opportunity for her to attack yours. On no account suggest another dress. You might as well say, "You're fat."

    This raises the question of why she's asking you at all. She knows you don't know which shoes look better, and she knows you don't care, so why is she trying to elicit your opinion? This is part of an ongoing campaign to domesticate you. As part of the same campaign, she will occasionally consult you about alternative table settings or new towels. In these two cases a disdainful and dismissive "beats me" should do the trick, but don't try that with the shoe dilemma, or you'll miss your reservation. Instead, suggest that she try on the other shoes, then tell her the first ones look better. This lets you more or less off the hook, as long as you don't raise a fuss when she decides that the second pair are better after all.

    "WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS RELATIONSHIP GOING?"

    This could be described as an essay question, since you're obviously not going to get away with snappy little answers such as "forward" or "upstairs" or "I dunno". Another problem is that you and your wife/girlfriend are operating at cross-purposes here. She wants a heartfelt expression of your feelings and an honest assessment of your future together, and you want an easier question. There is certainly no point in answering a toe-curling query like this one without at least a rough idea of precisely what it is she wants to hear. Questions such as this one are a category unto themselves, i.e. questions that should be answered with another question. See how easily some of the more difficult leading inquiries can be parried through the simple deployment of reflexive interrogation.

    HER: Where do you see this relationship going?
    YOU: Where do you see this relationship going?

    HER: Do you think she's attractive?
    YOU: Who?

    HER: Will you marry me?
    YOU: Where am I?

    HER: What if I were pregnant?
    YOU: Are you pregnant?
    HER: Why? Do I look fat?

    Whoops! We're in a bit of trouble here. You should have seen that coming. Try a more surreal approach:

    HER: What if I were pregnant?
    YOU: What if I were pregnant?

    At the very least it gives you time to think up a better answer. Some all-purpose question-answers include: How much is a lot? Why do you ask? Should I be? What are you saying? Does it matter? What's love gotta do with it? Are you talking to me? (Note: Are you having your period? is not one of these.)

    Let's move on. "WHY DON'T YOU LIGHTEN UP?"

    This rhetorical gem is used whenever you express your disapproval of shoplifting or speeding, or whenever you go to a nightclub and spend the whole time complaining because the music is too loud and there aren't any chairs. There's no good answer to this one. You could draw attention to her inconsistency in this matter, noting that she doesn't like it when you act like a kid or when you act like your dad; then again, if you do that, she's liable to see your point and break up with you.

    Speaking of breaking up, how about this one..... "ARE YOU SAYING YOU WANT TO END IT?"

    Women, like lawyers, rarely ask a direct question, unless they already know what the answer will be. As for women lawyers, I don't know what they do, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know. The point is, when a woman asks you this question, she knows you're going to say no. Even if you want to say yes, you'll say no. You can't turn the question back on her, because you have no idea what her answer is going to be. If you are trying to break up with her, you'll have to say no and start the whole painful process again. If you aren't trying to break up with her, then it's best to change the subject. Let's try some-thing easier.

    "NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT ME?"

    Well, slightly easier. This question is of a piece with two others: "Have you forgotten what today is?" and "Have you been listening to a word I've said?" Apart from being questions that are easier to answer wrong than right, they're the kinds of things women say in sitcoms. They are best treated in an ironic post-modern context; ie, just say what Ward Cleaver would say.

    HER: Notice anything different about me?
    YOU: New apron?

    HER: Have you forgotten what today is?
    YOU: Of course not. It's Thursday.

    HER: Have you been listening to a word I've said?
    YOU: That's nice, dear...

    Funny, huh? Well, it's not your fault if she doesn't get it. If she wants a better answer, she's going to have to start asking better questions. Questions such as:

    "HAVE YOU TAKEN A LOOK AT YOURSELF LATELY?"

    This question and its cousin, the almost always uncalled for "Who do you think you are?", are ways of gently reminding you how much of a factor pity was in her original decision to go out with you, and how that decision could be rescinded if you behave in any way that cannot be described as abject. You probably brought this rebuke on yourself by mentioning that you reckon Brad Pitt is getting a little chubby or by speculating that Jack Nicholson doesn't have to wait until his birthday for oral sex. You're not really supposed to answer either of these questions. You're just supposed to apologise for your wanton self-esteem-having. Instead of apologising, just smile. Your manifold inadequacies as a boyfriend - nay, as a man - are a kind of revenge all by themselves. Next!

    "DO YOU BELIEVE IN FIDELITY?"

    Like most philosophical questions that seem to pop up out of the blue, this question doesn't pop up out of the blue. This general query about fidelity is in fact a coded inquiry about the extent of your fidelity on a specific occasion or occasions. Your response will also have to be coded. Consult this translation chart before giving your answer:

    YOU SAY - Yes
    YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
    SHE THINKS - He's hiding something

    YOU SAY - It depends
    YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
    SHE THINKS - I knew it!

    YOU SAY - Why do you ask
    YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
    SHE THINKS - Bastard!

    YOU SAY - I dunno. Do you?
    YOU MEAN - How much does she know?
    SHE THINKS - How much does he know?

    There are several more variations, but they're not worth going into. By the time she asks you this question, you're already in deep trouble. It doesn't really matter what you say, as long as you don't blush when you a answer.

    Let's look at an example that calls for more straight forward lying.

    "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?"

    She means, "You were looking at that girl, weren't you?" And you thought you'd perfected that trick of keeping your neck still and just letting your eyes swivel. Obviously, the truth is not the best answer here. We all know that the truth can set you free, sometimes before you've found somewhere else to stay. It may seem easy enough to answer this question with a cunning lie, but when men are caught off-guard, their ability to deceive is impaired.

    Here are a few of the more common mistakes men make when asked "What are you looking at?"

    TOO SPECIFIC: "The rust around the bolts on the handle on the flap of that mailbox on the northwest corner". NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH: "That thing."
    TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: "A diamond necklace in that window back there that would be perfect on you".
    TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD: "A see-through nightie in that window back there that would be perfect on you."
    TOO OBVIOUS: "Nothing."
    WAY TOO OBVIOUS: "That blonde babe over there with the big...I mean nothing."

    Here's one that requires a little interpretation. "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?"

    This one often crops up whenever some kind of emergency or seemingly unsolvable problem arises. The part that requires interpretation is the mysterious "we" in the middle. This means two things: in one sense, "we" clearly means "you" - as in, "What are you going to do now"; but there is also a sense of "we're in this together" implying that you bear equal responsibility for the fact that she's just dropped her keys down a grate, or that she stores her jack and spare tyre in her garage so they won't get stolen.

    In such situations you'll probably find that the only answer to "What are we going to do now?" that you can think of is "We are going to break up. Good-bye." Most likely you'll decide not to say anything. After which she will probably let loose with the rather ill-advised:

    "WHY DON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?"

    Whether you answer this one is up to you. There is only one question that you should never, ever answer. Keep silent, cower behind your Fifth Amendment rights, pretend you didn't hear, run away, whatever, but don't say anything when she asks:

    "SHOULD I GET ALL OF MY HAIR CUT OFF?"

    If you say anything, then when she does get all her hair cut off (and let's face it, she's already made up her mind) and she hates it (and she will hate it), it will be your fault. Even if you say absolutely nothing, the best you can hope for is that she will come home with all her hair cut off, stare you straight in the eye and say: Does it make me look fat? You're on your own.

    Cool

    We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the
    rules from the male side.
    These are our rules:
    Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
    1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don't try to change that
    1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put
    it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us
    complaining about you leaving it down.
    1. Saturday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the
    tides. Let it be
    1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
    1. Crying is blackmail.
    1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
    Subtle hints do not work!
    Strong hints do not work!
    Obvious hints do not work!
    JUST SAY IT!
    1. 'Yes' and 'No' are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question
    1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
    what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for
    1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor
    1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In
    fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days
    1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us
    1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the
    ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
    1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done
    Not both
    If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself
    1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials
    1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we
    1. ALL men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings.
    Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit.
    We have no idea what mauve is.
    1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
    1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like
    nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the
    hassle
    1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer
    you don't want to hear
    1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine, Really
    1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
    discuss such topics as: Sex,Sport, or Cars
    1. You have enough clothes
    1. You have too many shoes
    1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
    1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the
    couch tonight, but did you know men really don't mind that, it's like camping.


    It's all ME ME ME isn't it?!

    Ladies of days gone by: If a lady accidentally over-salts a dish while it's
    still cooking, she drops in a peeled potato and it absorbs the excess salt
    for an instant "fix-me-up."

    Women of today: If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too
    damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto: "I made it and
    you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."

    Ladies of days gone by: Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in halfand
    rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

    Women of today: Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. You
    might still have the headache, but who cares?

    Ladies of days gone by: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a
    sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
    Women of today: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for
    Pete's sake. You are probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating
    it anyway.

    Ladies of days gone by: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the
    bag with the potatoes.
    Women of today: Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for
    up to a year.

    Ladies of days gone by: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking
    pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white
    mess on the outside of the cake.
    Women of today: Go to the bakery -- they'll even decorate it for you.

    Ladies of days gone by: Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before
    baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
    Women of today: Sara Lee frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg
    whites over the crust .

    Ladies of days gone by: If you have a problem opening jars, try using
    latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non slip grip that makes opening jars
    easy.
    Women of today: Go ask the very cute neighbor guy to do it.

    And finally the most important tip.... And my personal favorite--

    Ladies of days gone by: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze
    into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
    Women of today: Leftover wine??

    It's all great, but this one has to be the best:

    And who is the mysterious mod who stickified this thread...?

    Snipped the course guide
    I passed this course with flying colours apparently according to an ex girlfriends friend that emails me all the time. She sent me that a few weeks ago asking when I passed my other degree which confused me until I read it.

    I think she has a soft spot for me
