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.
How did you score?

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:Scenario Number Two - You and you're spouse see a classic 1967 Mustang Fastback.
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
Most women will:Scenario Number Three - You and your spouse are shopping for new jeans.
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
Most women will: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.
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
Most women will:Scenario Number Five - You and your spouse are asked to define the word period.
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."
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

What would you say about a blogging scenario?
Most men don't blog.
Men like to blog about the great muscle cars of the sixties.

And, if you take the buzzword from Scenario 5 and put it in the place of "labor and delivery" in Scenario 1, you can be assured of the same results.
