Why Are Men So Complicated? I was asked this just recently...

Excellent analogy ;)

I'm gonna have to disagree. I mean, Red's analogy worked back in the 90s, but when a man buys a new car these days, he knows that, not only will it need a lot more maintenance than a 90s model, the type of maintenance that thing is gonna require is way outside his range of knowledge. Forget the usual box of tools; he's gonna have to defer to an expert.

(and while your lady audience will totally be able to read between the lines, most the men are saying "No bull, man, I just got a Ford Edge, and lemme tell ya...."

Well it that case he will have to get in touch with Dear Abby ;)šŸ˜„
 
Wait! I thought women believe that men are simple minded creatures who rarely understand the complexities of life. Am I wrong. Oh Dear! I might be too complex to the be simple minded jughead I appear to be. This is so confusing! To heck with it. Iā€™ll grab a beer and watch the game.

If you ever get a chance to see a one man comedy play called Defending the Caveman, do it. Itā€™s a classic comedy on the war between the sexes, with plenty of laughs because as we know the best comedy is base on truth. When I saw it the ladies in the audience laughed just as heartily as the men did.

A blend of stand-up comedy, lecture, and therapy session, it attempts to resolve the war between the sexes. The play manages to stand up for the male viewpoint, while still being sympathetic to the female side of issues as well. Becker describes the play as a vehicle for showing that "men have emotions, but they express them differently.ā€œ

A woman was walking down the beach and saw a bottle half-buried in the sand. She dug it out and brushed the sand off it. The cork flew out and POOF! a genie appeared.

"Ah, at last!" the genie exclaimed. "I'm free again! Oh thank you, thank you, Madame. As a reward for freeing me, I will grant you one wish."

"Hmmm," pondered the woman, "What would I like? Oh, I know! I've always wanted to go to Hawaii!"

"Excellent!", exclaims the genie. "I'll charter you a 747 and you can also take a few hundred of your friends with you."

"Oh, no," protests the woman, "I'm terrified of flying. I can't go on a plane!"

Well then," says the genie, "How about a nice cruise? I'll get one of the Carnival Cruise ships and you can still take all of your friends with you."

"A cruise? Oh, no," squeals the woman, "I would be so scared to be out of sight of land. I could never go on a cruise like that!"

The genie scratches his head and says, "If you won't fly and you won't sail, then how do you expect me to send you to Hawaii?"

The woman beams and says, "I like to drive. I really enjoy a long drive. Just build me a bridge to Hawaii and I'll be happy to drive there."

"A bridge? A BRIDGE??? You want me to build a bridge to Hawaii? Are you out of your mind? Do you have any idea of the logistics and material that would take, not to mention the time?"

"OK, then, forget the trip to Hawaii. My wish will be that you will make me able to understand how men think."

With a great sigh, the genie replies, "One lane or two?"

That's a little simplistic. Your odds of major trouble and high maintenance costs can be radically reduced by choosing from makes, models, and years with a better reputation and lower mileage.

I recently saw a cartoon which depicted a man and a woman, describing the color of a vehicle to a Police officer. The vehicle had struck theirs, then driven away.

The officer asked each of them "what color was the car that hit yours ? " The man said it was blue. The woman said " it was sort of like a California sunset, but with more tangerine tones, and pinks, and over tones of aqua and peach ". The officer wrote down ' The car was blue ". The point of course is that men tend to see things plainly, while most women want to go into deep variations on the theme at hand. The car makers figured this out a long time ago, hence the absurd names they give for car paint choices. JIMB.
