More conversations with my wife

[stomachmonkey]

Me: Are you running errands tomorrow?

"Yes"

What time are you leaving?

"I have to take Arden to school in the morning and I want to get my nails done in the afternoon."

Ok, what time are you leaving?

"Which time?"

Either time, both times, just need to know when you are leaving.

"Well Arden needs to be there at 8:30 and I figured I'd get to the salon maybe 2-2:30"

So, what time are you leaving?

"I don't know"

[DonDavis]

I'm out...

Too funny. Not sure that it helps but it's not you. Or her. It's the way it is.

Wait till menopause, holy f....

I guess some women are not too affected, others not so much.

They named it wrong, it should be menwhopause, because you need to really, really think before you say anything.

[LakeCleElum]

Her: " If you didn't have another drink tonight, you MIGHT get lucky."

ME: "I've been down this road before. MIGHT is the opperative word. I'm gonna not only have a drink, I'll UPGRADE to a DOUBLE!"

[Bill Douglas]

Sounds like a busy day to me.

[afterburn 549]

That species of humans has no logic function

[Porsche-O-Phile]

I honestly wonder how women (most, not all) get through an average day. I really do. Seriously, how the F do they function?

[afterburn 549]

The more "HOT" they are the more dysfunctional they are.
Much like spoiled children.

It's the emotional roller coaster that I have trouble coming to terms with. The answer to any given question is so vastly different from one day to the next.

[KFC911]

While I've always known that I have NO FREAKIN' IDEA how women think, it was only when my longtime ex g/f went through "the change" that I realized that I'd vastly overestimated myself

knowing is the expectation, but that's why we ask because we don't know only to never get a concrete answer. Funniest thing is, they get through the day just fine. WTF?

Do women do this in foreign or third world countries. what about the ones who grew up without education, believe deep in the old world cultural. do they do this kind of crap?

Your wife probably thinks she is going to be in trouble if she gives you the wrong answer, so she is being evasive in a way that might force you to disclose why you want to know. To her, your question is incomplete. I need to know X so I can plan Y gives her a clear reason why it might be OK for her to answer.

Of course women also talk to socialize, so drawing out the answer is simply a way of socializing with you. Either way, the point is to allow you to demonstrate that you are sociable, that is to say friendly, and to get YOU to disclose more information without having to ask a question.

This happens with my wife all the time, usually just before I am supposed to walk out the door for work. When we finally get to the why of why I asked my question and WHY I need the answer, that is when I will get the answer. Regardless, I either have to play along, or force the issue to get an answer. In my wife's mind, only one of those options is an acceptable conclusion, because if I force the issue, I am just demonstrating that I am either antisocial and or mean, and that means not safe to be around.

Since I always have a good reason for needing to know things, I usually point out to my wife that since I always have a good reason for asking questions, it is unacceptable not to answer them directly. I also frequently point out that if I am having a conversation, it is best to stick to the point, because I always have a point I am trying to get at. For my wife, rambling along for 20 minutes IS the point.

What he said.

Women are analog; men are digital.

[wayner]

Her: Why did you do that

Me: Because...

Her: Stop being so defensive. Why do you feel the need to explain yourself all the time

Me: Because you asked me a question

Her: There you go again. Stop it


What would happen if I had a translator

Her: Don't do that again

Me: Ok.

Her: Lets have sex.

ME: Ok

I came to the conclusion many many years ago that I will never, ever completely get women.

[afterburn 549]

Find a Tomboy.
They are the best.
They can buff up, or dress for the job at hand.
Believe me i know...personal exp.

[Baz]

Bottom line is they like to chat.

We don't.

We are very structured.

They are not.

Generally speaking.

[widgeon13]

That's why I stay married. I don't have enough time to figure out another one!!
