Puzzling things about men - just for fun

Yet another thread starter that hangs on a load of outdated stereotypes...

I must be a man then!

Oh I dunno. A macho Spanish student of mine insists on walking around, shirt off. I threatened to take mine off too, upon which thought he winced.

I’m inclined to agree with you. It will also lead to comments about misandry. By the way where is Grandad 1943?

Oh, get a life. It's only a bit of fun. Outdated stereotypes? Just the truth.

The original poster said it was ‘just for fun’. Is that not allowed on this site any more?

Of course it’s allowed but I’m just saying what I think will be the reaction.

It’s perfectly possible to have fun without resorting to stereotypes. And yes, where is Grandad ?

How can men not know what’s in the fridge? If they did know they wouldn’t regularly open the door and stare hopefully into it several times a day.A large pork pie isn’t going to suddenly materialise in it.

Makes a change from all the heavy political stuff anyway. But hey I know my place so that’s the end of that I guess.

Employing sexist stereotypes is political Gwyneth. The damage that sexism has done and does do to society is serious. Not a laughing matter

What's wrong with women that they don't understand the offside rule?

⚽️?‍♀️?‍♂️

Is that not allowed on this site any more?

Yes but you may get told off
?

Yes realised that pretty quickly? and also that you’re not allowed to express an opinion that differs from the ‘playground bullies’ ???

FFS what utter crap- do you want me to remind you what you really can’t do?

lemongrove that’s a bit like signing into gransnet regularly to see if there’s anything exciting there!

Well that didn’t take long did it......

LadyBellas comments are not against men at all, she is just stating what she has observed. And she did add "just for fun" so you'd hope grumpy people wouldn't bother commenting and go to one of the many other more downbeat threads. Unlikely though.

For me, there is truth in that book, men are from Mars, Women from Venus. And Vive la difference!

Quoting myself to point out that there was no bullying!!

Er, I understand the offside rule! ??

Bullying on GN = being called out by several posters when you were completely wrong. Nice GN = being able to say what you want no matter how wrong without bring criticised.

Exactly seacliff just a bit of fun that we all need in the current climate

My comment not aimed at you Luccajust a general observation when I read threads. Am surprised at the vindictiveness at some of the responses. I rarely make any comments these days for that reason. Thought this thread would be a bit more light-hearted apparently not.

That resonated with me lemon, my two sons when visiting still can't throw off the habits of a lifetime in the urge to open the fridge and stare into it, in with an expression I can only describe as a mournful deep longing possibly in their dreams, a large pork pie could be lying in the depths undiscovered. Alas! it seems those yearnings are destined to be unfulfilled, except possibly at Christmas which comes but once a year, but possibly not in 2020!
