I Guess We Men Do See Things Differently Than Women.

This is definitely the wrong thing to say to any lady. She made the effort to change her hair and you should have said how lovely she looks. To a lady, hair style is a big thing.

Of course, if the hair style is really way out or crazy, I just wouldn't say anything. I believe it's called diplomacy!
Yes, men and women do look at some thing differently. It's best to remember this.

Yes, but constantly being expected to pay overblown compliments gets old quickly --it's small talk taken to new heights.
 

Why is a male reproductive organ called a dog and why is a female reproductive organ referred to a pussy-cat? How are these descriptive adjectives related to male and female reproductive organs? Inquiring minds want to know.

I haven't worn high heels since my twenties and the only way I can look tall is to stand next to my friend who is actually a dwarf, and half my height.

I haven't measured my height in a long time. In my youth I measured a full 5' 1 1/2 " (155 cm). I'm an inch taller than my sister and three inches taller than my mother was, so clearly our height is defined by our genetics. Hubby is (was) six foot (180 cm) so our daughter is a lot taller than me, however, she is about average for her cohort of school friends.

It is interesting to note that English sailors circa 1870s were not much taller than me. One of my ancestors on Dad's side sailed to Australia on the HMS Dido, an English ship of the line. He deserted in Sydney and is mentioned in the NSW Police gazette together with a full physical description. So are other English navy deserters. The tallest seem to be about 5' 4". Quite a number were only 5' 2"

The children of the original transported convicts grew to be much taller than their parents. This phenomenon indicates that genetics alone is not the determinator of height. Environment and nutrition also play a big part.

To add to what you mentioned about the height of British men in the past century...IN 1914, the recruiting standards for the British army were as follows.

A minimum height of five feet, four inches, and a minimum weight of 125 lbs. There were so many undersized men that the British Army formed "Bantam Battalions " of men who were shorter that five foot four inches in height. These 800 man Bantam Battalions had normal sized officers, and the men were equipped with rifles that had been cut down in terms of their length. There were at least 8 of those undersized units in the British Army during the Great War.

In 2023, some of the tallest women in the world come from Serbia, Croatia, and Ukraine. Check out their women's volleyball teams to see what I mean. JimB.

Because a lot of men act like dogs and women tend to exhibit a feline's behaviors.

You see a short woman. Her husband/SO is very often tall and that’s not just from comparing them to each other. I’m talking from experience.

@Devi, I like men too.

😂….. I wasn’t answering to your post in general. lol

Of course men & women think differently. Our minds are created differently, we are raised differently, have different body parts.

Dogs offer unconditional love also. If it weren’t for my husband, I’d have a horse but not without a dog.

As far as egos, women can have enormous egos also. I’m certainly on that list at times.
