Coming from Mars is so less complicated

[Margaret Pilkington]

Drinking beer, eating Pizza and operating the remote control...three things that most men can do, as well as watch the game......maybe we can work on the transfer of these skills to areas that are compatible with a happy life.......after all, they are just phrases to be learned...and said at the appropriate time, with the right kind of feeling........we KNOW that they don't actually mean it......but it is the grease of social interaction, makes the wheels turn.......no grease...no action.
It isn't really multi-tasking.

You still haven't presented a logical reason why we should lie, just to appease a womans illogical feelings, she shouldn't have created the situation in the first place. As you quoted "we KNOW that they don't actually mean it"
Mind boggling.

Retlaw, your mind must be boggled very easily.
As for lying, men do it very easliy.....'I'm just going for a swift half' six hours later he's not back and his dinner is in the dog.
Maybe this impacts on the (so called) illogical feelings of women.
This thread was, I'm sure, not meant to be serious.
So just unboggle that wonderful mind of yours and smile.........as for the logic and illogicality(is there such a word) of men and women respectively.
I once heard a stall holder on the market say 'Eeh, aren't women queer'.......'Yes' I told him. 'They were made to match men'.

I have been married now for 46 years....so together we must be doing something right.

No John, it was started by Guinness. Margaret R has only made one post.

In old age men become just different shaped people.

When sexuality and stereotyped gender roles are no longer a factor, they do appear to the weaker of the two body types - both in stamina and emotional maturity.

How long have you been a man Margaret

To be obsessed with gender is primitive - we are all just humans.

Ya but some are more human than others

[Margaret Pilkington]

I agree Margaret....and the lines of gender have becomes so blurred now........I know some men who are really just old women....and worst of all they would agree with me.
(but then maybe they are lying - work it out)

As you have been married for 46 years, you should have figured out by now that when a guy says he is "going out for a beer", "a" does not mean "one". In the history of guydom and beer, it never has meant a single beer, and it never will. To expect him home before they call time, cut him off, or forcibly eject him (some of us on here are all too familiar with this last mode of leaving a bar) is ... well ... illogical

[Margaret Pilkington]

Of course I have Eric...like I was telling Retlaw...men do not need encouragement to stretch the truth...they do it already...and the best of it is we know they do it.

Anyway mine doesn't go out to the pubs for a drink now...he says a lot of the pubs are full of daft kids...he prefers to have a gin or three at home(beer doesn't agree with him these days - gives him chronic indigestion).
