You Think My Last Post Was Curious...Let's Discuss Men And Women

The curious behavior I mentioned in my last post was not gender specific, but I do think the behavioral differences between men and women are pretty interesting.  Let's examine the following scenarios, shall we? 

Scenario Number 1 - You and your spouse are at a party and you're sitting at a table with several couples you've just met.  Someone mentions children and the topic of conversation turns to labor and delivery. 

Most women will:

a) sit and listen quietly because they don't want to share such intimate details with perfect strangers
b) give a detailed account of every second of their childbirth experience in verbal technicolor

Most men will:

a) contribute to the conversation
b) jump up and run away from the table as if their pants were on fire

Scenario Number Two - You and you're spouse see a classic 1967 Mustang Fastback.

Most women will:

a) know the make, model and year of the car
b) comment on what a pretty color it is

Most men will:

a) comment on what a pretty color it is
b) wonder aloud if the engine is a 351 Cleveland because they didn't have a Cobra Jet until the early 70's, if it's numbers match and if it's totally stock

Scenario Number Three - You and your spouse are shopping for new jeans.

Most women will:

a) grab the first pair off the rack, hope they fit, pay and get out of the store
b) try on 18 pairs, ask if they make her look fat, swear to start a new diet and exercise program and eventually leave the store with new boots and no jeans

Most men will:

a) try on 18 pairs, ask if they make him look fat, swear to start a new diet and exercise program and eventually leave the store with new boots and no jeans
b) grab the first pair off the rack, hope they fit, pay and get out of the store

Scenario Number Four - You and your spouse have decided to paint the living room.  You've decided that it should be a neutral color.  At the store, you narrow down you choices to Beguiling Beige, Caribbean Sand and Rustic Taupe.

Most women will:

a) make a quick decision
b) spend an hour comparing the colors, noting their subtle differences, decide against all of them, go back to the paint samples to look for more choices, consider them for another hour, eventually leave with Caribbean Sand and then spend the ride home talking about how Rustic Taupe would probably have been a better choice.

Most men will:

a) say "Just pick one so we can get the Hell out of here."
b) there is no b.  Most men will say "Just pick one so we can the Hell out of here."

Scenario Number Five - You and your spouse are asked to define the word period.

Most women will:

a) define it as something that women beyond the age of puberty experience once a month
b) define it as a royal pain in the butt and tell you how lucky you are to be a man

Most men will:

a) say "You better be talking about punctuation!"
b) assume you're not talking about punctuation and run from the room as if their pants were on fire

 How did you score?
