After reading this amusing thread, I have decided to quote some of you to say that I have found that with most men, these are the things they almost all seem to do. Yes, I am stereotyping but I think sometimes, it does apply:
"
-Yeah JustJess, I totally agree. Oh how they use flattery to their advantage, all the time, everytime.
-when they're looking for something that just look on the surface and don't bother to moves stuff and look under or behind things
-I've given up on getting him to put the toilet seat down
- Automatically shutting down if we're having a "conversation" (read: argument)
/ They way they ignore you if they don't want to hear what you have to say which is sooo rude, like you're invisible.
-The way they dismiss you when you try to help sort out some gadget or other of those and they wave you away saying they will handle it, then leaving it because they can't, and then you go and fix it in 5 mins. "
Do you agree? So what I'm asking is, ok in this PC world we live in, stereotyping is not cool, but doesn't it seem odd to you that most seem to have certain characteristics in common? (Ok maybe all your male friends are an exception...lol) It seems odd to me, and also saddens me.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
