"If I have to tell you what I need, you are not listening to me"

I am sure you have heard this before if you have ever been in a relationship with a woman. If you haven't, check the testosterone level in the woman you are with...because it's not natural for a woman to not say this periodically in our contemporary world.

From what I  have observed...


Men use questions and simple statements to communicate:
Do you want to go to a movie?
Do you want to watch the game on TV?
I want to eat hamburgers for dinner tonight.
Are you upset today?
I am going to bed.
Can you get me that beer please?
Is it ok if I go hang out with my buddies?

But women use brain-teasers to communicate:
We haven't had a conversation in a long time, I mean a *real* conversation.
We haven't spent any *quality* time lately.
You don't *listen* to me when I speak.
Look at me and tell me, have I lost weight
You know it's ok if you want to spend some time away from me!
If I have to tell you what I need, you are not *listening* to me

See Goddess did not create a problem when she made women complicated. But she sure did when she made us men less intelligent than women are. Because it takes a lot of intelligence to answer a woman's questions, and even a lot more responding to her statements. Well, I am one of the blessed ones. After years of experience I have gained that intelligence to *appropriately* deal with the daily interaction at home.

This afternoon my wife came and asked me "what would you like to have? coffee or tea?". I quickly understood the question, and responded *appropriately*. Now, you are thinking, what is there to understand?, it's a simple question right? Well it is, if you are not a grown-up man, or/and want trouble in the house!

I said "coffee please" replying back to her, though I wanted tea. Because everyday we drink tea at home in the afternoon. Get it?!!



Cheers!

  1. I guess that's why i'm still single...coz even if i *sometimes* get it - i still refuse to play along :)

    The other thing i noticed is whatever they say, or pretend to say or pretend not to say - it only lasts like 5 minutes. they have this ability to change their minds and opinions every 5 minutes, without even remembering what their opinion was 5 minutes ago...that leaves me speechless everytime.
