Puzzling things about men - just for fun

Well said Elgran (post of 9.02). I have 2 sons and 1 husband, all of them always hungry; they constantly gaze into the fridge; (sons no longer live with us, but on visiting it's the first thing they do). However, each time they have a peek, they pinch either a slice of ham or a cheddar slice, they never come away empty handed ? Only buy pork pies at Christmas time and I have to hide them in the veg draw!

Oh yes rockgran and its so boring, one friend even told us what the gravel was like in another country.

My husband listens Missfoodlove but doesn't hear, I can always tell by the expression on his face that its not sinking in.
Obviously I am practically perfect in every way.

Spot on seacliff.
So,men say alot of things about women which are mostly true and it`s water off a ducks back to me.
We are different and that`s why we complement each other.

But can you parallel park grumppa. I’m hopeless and yet men seem to be able to manage it with no trouble at all and some women of course!!! But many of my female friends tend to struggle a bit as I do !!!

I admit most of the soft impeachments, but I do not open the fridge regularly to stare at the contents, and since my paunch began to protrude beyond my chest I have not worn a t shirt in ANY circumstances.

How true Rockgran. But even worse, why do I have to listen attentively to every last detail of the dream he had last night? ?

Just a lighthearted observation. In my experience I find that lots of men like to discuss the minutia of their journey to an event or meeting whereas I, a woman, really don't care!

My sons do that all the time Missfoodlove ?

Yes well said Elegran .

How can a man nod and agree during conversation then deny you ever gave him the information?

Eggactly lemon although they aren't in the fridge in our house

It’s typo Tuesday!

Sorry about the extra ‘be’ that crept in?

Let’s keep it lighthearted as it was meant to be be byLadyB
Puzzling but affectionate thoughts/anecdotes ?

TerriBull in talking to friends their husbands/sons are all the same with the fridge.Whereas we never do it ( just taking out ingredients to cook or milk for tea etc.)

Oops flipping iPhone * a d should read and!

Totally get the gazing into the fridge frequently thing. Since lockdown DH has done the lions share of the shopping, unfortunately he still has absolutely no idea of the contents of cupboards, fridge or freezers.........but has a bottle by bottle a d can by can inventory of the beer & wine fridge??

Well said Elegran, so good to hear the voice of reason on this thread.

Elegran

Nice one!
?

Caption? Captain!

Instead of shooting Ladybella down in flames for asking these (not altogether serious but totally harmless) questions, why don't all these opinionated women try answering them?

How can even the smallest man lift just about anything? Testosterone. It works on men's muscles at puberty so that they get stronger with a minimum of use. No testosterone means it takes a lot more use to get the same lifting power. Levels vary in both men and women, as do the incidence of bald heads and moustaches.
How can a man get into any car and drive it straight away? They can't. They think they can because no-one has ever told them they can't, so they have the confidence to just do it.
Why don't men need to go to the loo on long journeys? They don't carry and give birth to babies. Iin any case, if they do need they can nip behind a hedge.
How can some men walk around in T-shirts in the middle of winter? Where there's no sense, there's no feeling.
How does a man immediately know when a ball is offside? Years on a freezing school playing field being sworn at by the caption of his side for getting it wrong.

None of the comments made by the OP were denigrating men - in fact she comes across as envious!

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.

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!

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.

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