Thoughts #01 -- Women and Men

ON RELATIONSHIPS:

When a relationship ends, a woman cries till her tear ducts dry, yaks on and on to her gfs, writes a poem, listens to sad music, raids the shops at Megamall and goes on a full beauty make-over-all these in a month or less. Then she goes on with her life.

A man only reacts from 6 mos to a year after break-up. This is the 3 a.m. drunken call he makes to his ex: "I hate you, you ruined my life...Uh, baka pwede pa tayo?"

ON MATURITY:

Women take to maturity faster and earlier. A 16-year-old female can effectively care for an infant.

A 16-year-old male can make the family dog drink Tanduay. That's why high school romances rarely work out.

ON PHONE ATTITUDE:

A man uses the phone only if he has something specific to say: "Pare Basket tayo bukas. Gym. 8 sharp. Bye." He delivers a short
telegraphic message and hangs up after 6 minutes.

A woman doesn't need a particular reason to call a friend. She can
visit her gal pal for a week and upon returning home, call the same
friend and chat for three hours!

ON HANDWRITING:

Men's chicken-scratch handwriting gives women a headache.

Women's Letters give men migraine: she uses scented and colored
stationeries and dot hers with circles and hearts. She writes to
dump him and puts a smiley face or a sunflower at the end of the
letter.

ON DIRECTIONS:

When a female driver gets lost, she stops at a gas station and asks for directions.

A male driver simply won't even, if a little voice inside
his head is going, "May makakakita pa kaya sa atin na buhay?" He'll
drive around for two hours trying to figure a way out.

ON PHOTOGRAPHY:

Men take photography very seriously.They shell out thousands of
pesos for state-of-the-art cameras and other equipment, build dark rooms
and take photography classes.

Women buy Kodak instamatics... and end up taking better pix.

ON BOXING:

Observe a couple watching a boxing match on TV.

Dela Hoya knock Chavez down and the wife says, "Kawawa naman, ang sakit siguro."

Her husband groans, doubles over and actually feels the pain.

ON VANITY:

Men are vain. They check their reflection on mirrors every chance they get.

Women will check themselves out on shiny surface: mirrors, spoons,
Silver balloons, store windows.

ON TOYS:

Little girls love toys but outgrow them at age 11 or 12.

When little boys grow older, their toys just get more expensive, not to mention SILLY and IMPRACTICAL-mini TVs, car phones, VIDEO GAMES, AIRSOFT RIFLES!

ON DRESSING UP:

Women will dress up to go the mall, beauty parlor or even the grocery Store at the corner.

Men dress up for weddings, and his funeral.

ON HYGIENE:

A man has 6 items (toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, shaving cream, soap, shampoo) in the bathroom.

A woman has 247, including such indispensable products as
hypoallergenic facial hair removing cream, dramatically
different and non-fragrance clarifying lotion #10 and apricot
scrubs!!! Including lactic acid.

ON EATING OUT:

When eating out, men will each throw out large bills. No one has a smaller bill and some unlucky guy would end up paying just so they can get out.

When women dine out, as soon as the check arrives, out comes pocket calculators!!

ON TRAVEL:

If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack for 5 days worth of Clothes and he will wear some things twice.

A woman will pack 21 changes of clothes coz she doesn't know what she'll feel like wearing each day.

ON RESTROOMS:

Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons.

Women see restrooms as social lounges.

Men in a restroom will not speak to each other.

Women who have never met before will leave a restroom giggling
together like old friends.

And NEVER in the history of the world has a man excused himself
from a restaurant by saying, "Pare, I got to pee. Wanna join me?"
