Diffrent filters

Men and women have different filters. It has been said that men are from Mars and women from Venus, but I don't think that is the case. We just filter information differently. And we look at the world through two entirely different sets of glasses.
Face it we men just can't do sh*t right. Ask any woman, she'll tell you that men are nearly incapable of making even the simplest decisions.
For example, man and woman move into an apartment/house and immediately the woman will say something like " wouldn't painting the walls ecru, with a plum accent wall really help define the space". The man will grunt, scratch, think furiously, wondering if ecru is really a color or is she just f*cking with him and wonder who came up with idea that walls should be anything other than white anyway.
All we know is that we're getting ready to lose a perfectly good afternoon of football, painting walls a color that we never even knew existed.
And, what do you mean "define" the space. The whole house is defined. Kitchen, living room, dining room, den, bathrooms and bedrooms. Do we really need a definition?
Another example, we get a call from a friend who says something like "man I just totaled the car". Men assume, since we are receiving the call, that our friend did not die. The first words out of a woman's mouth are inevitably are you OK? The man's mouth, it wasn't the 69 Mustang was it...please tell me you were driving the Camry.
Just a different way of looking at things.
So please ladies remember that most of the time we don't have any idea what you are talking about. When you say everything's OK we foolishly think you mean that...everything's OK. We don't as a rule seek out the deeper meanings...we're pretty shallow or stupid...or something.
I think that the creator must have put infinite patience and nearly infinite forgiveness in women as a survival mechanism to ensure species survival.
How else can you explain the fact they put up with us at all?

  1. Is this just to redeem your manliness after you nearly swooned over a wine and cheese pairing? You're not fooling anybody.
