Bonjour tout le monde!

Another thread from your favorite frenchy with that little je-ne-sais-quoi- for threads that gets people involved (and i love it!)

Ok, i was wondering if there was a sensible difference between incidents being reported by a man and another by a woman. From my personnal experience we don't seem to "analyse" the same way some things that we see both.
ex: Women are more receptive to colors etc..

And for all the gorgeous ladies of the forum (Je vous aime toutes...) what do you think about this theory...?

Merci

You know, I just can't help but respect a man that walks on the dangerous side of life.

Have at it ladies! I'm outta' here!

Fishbone, you big chicken!

I think it's probably a good question. Women are more detailed in what they report I've found. Ask a man to describe say the color and you get brown, black, grey. Ask a woman and you get "the color of an irish setter, etc." I even had one lady pick up an object that she thought was the exact color of what she had seen.
This is just my observation. I'm sure some men are very descriptive in their reports also.

Agreed Stacy ..... Fishy is a big chicken

Oh .. yeah, i agree on your other point as well. Women get more descriptive.

But i gotta say, azure is blue damnit !!
And wtf is pumpkin ?? You mean "orange" !?!?!?!
There are various shades of red, rangeing from light to dark. Do NOT give us guys the name of the nail polish the animal matched The same can be said for brown too :rolleyes:

[/rant]

Yeah...men are so too..descriptive!
"...crap running down my pants leg...!"
"..that fence was at least 6 ft....but I cleared it!"
"I tell yuh..I was crying like an itty-bitty school girl..snot running and all"
"...I swear..that dog was trying to hide its self up in Bert's rear end ..!!"

Women can describe the creature better because they have a better grasp of language................because they talk so f'n much.


sorry

I've been marred long enough to know better then too touch this one!


Zeus

Put the helmet on Rob

That were Jaylee....

Woman I have interviewed have either been over descriptive or hopeless when telling what they themselves saw.
Without prompt they generally do a better job then men.

But the men too have the old " uh I don't remember that" within the narrative of their encounters so we use it as an excuse for being petrified by the vision of a large hairy creature bumping us in the night so we talk less

Whoopsie !!!!

uh .. sorry gals



(getting a helmet, really soonly)

S'okay! Jay said pretty much what I would have anyway regarding women being more descriptive (in general), and she's one great, smart gal who I don't mind at all being confused with!

Same here Stacy

OK, let's see who has a butt whoopin' coming.

There's Chronic - women talk to f'ing much

Rob - for NOT automatically knowing the names of fingernail polish shades

Grandcherokee - for making me spit coffee on my monitor....again

Benthere2 - Well, just for good measure since he did try to redeem himself within his post

and Fishbone and Zeus for being chicken



Oh I almost forgot Le Bigefout for sucking up and calling us females "gorgeous ladies".

I know you women are going to kick my ass for this but here goes.

Run for cover guys !

For those who are about to die.....We Salute you!

Be afraid MM65....be very afraid!

Oh well.I guess I better apologize to all the ladies now so I'm not labeled as the Archie Bunker of the board.
So Ladies.I am very sorry if this was taken the wrong way.
Go ahead and beat on me if you must.I've got it coming.

That was the right thing to do, MM.

Whether it will save you from impending doom is another matter entirely.

Ah! c'mon MM..you'd probably like that! j/k

I don't know if i'm chicken or not ? But if i were mysterious monsters i would be looking for cover becouse i think the sky is about to fall.


Zeus

Mysterious Monster 65=

Female members=



[Actually, I like MM65. He has cojones! ]

You guys waiting on one of us ladies to start pounding on MM? HAHA We will attack when it's least expected. Be afraid, be very afraid.





I just have one question, what the heck's an oven.

"Ah! c'mon MM..you'd probably like that! j/k "

Yeah.I'm used to it.You know how it is.After awhile you get impervious to the arguments. It toughens you up.

Quote
"[Actually, I like MM65. He has cojones! ] "

Actually we all do.We tell people we believe in bigfoot don't we?

I printed those women jokes!! I cant wait to show them to my ex-wife!!
me= ex-wife=

No way! Some of those were hilarious!

It all depends on who's telling the jokes, what kind of person they are, and in what context they're being told. If some jackass, domineering MANOFTHEHOUSE is telling jokes like this and meaning them, and he's cracking himself up when it's not funny...well, I'm no Feminazi but I'm probably gonna have to tell him where to stick it. Generally though, these types of jokes (like man-jokes, blonde-jokes, etc.,) are told purely in the spirit of fun, by someone who does not feel that way, to others who know the teller doesn't feel that way, and they're usually really funny!

I didn't find those jokes offensive at all, because it was obvious that they were posted just for kicks. There have been many others in the joke thread too......Don't worry MM65--keep 'em coming if you've got more!

Stacy

Ok girls enough making nice. This is a fight fire with fire type of situation. Look out!!


1. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.

2. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

3. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

4. If we put a man on the moon - we should be able to put them all up there.

5. Never let your man's mind wander - it's too little to be out alone.

6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces so that you can tell them apart.

7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

8. Women don't make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

9. Best way to get a man to do something: suggest he's too old for it.

10. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

11. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

12. The children of Israel wandered in the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

13. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him chequebooks.

14. Remember: a sense of humour does not mean you tell him jokes; it means you laugh at his.

15. Sadly, all men are created equal.

Also, just a thought for all the women out there...
MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause
Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

And when we have real trouble, it's HISterectomy

"Men marry hoping she won't change; women marry hoping he will change; both are disappointed."

"If you hear that a mountain has moved, believe. But if you hear that a man has changed his character, believe it not." (Mohammadan proverb)
