April 25, 201115 yr I got to thinking about this topic this past weekend and thought I'd post it. I'm looking for specifics actions that differentiate men vs women. I'm not looking for the generic answers like "women talk more" "men don't stop and ask for directions" "women talk on the phone more" etc. I'm looking for really specific items. Two off the top of my head: 1. Pickup games: I've played pickup basketball for a long time. When I return my wife always asks who I played with? I almost always answer " don't know - just some guys that were there." She always finds that interesting and says that must be a guy thing. I don't know one guy that thinks it's odd to play a pickup game with guys you don't know. 2. Courtesy flush. Nuff said.
April 25, 201115 yr Details. Example.... me - "did you know so and so is having a baby" wife - "Really? When are they due?" me - "I don't know" wife - "When did they find out?" me - "I don't know" wife - "do they know what they are having yet?" me - "I don't know" after about 10 more questions of my answering I dont' know.... wife - "why don't guys ever ask any questions?"
April 25, 201115 yr Cuddling. Sports. Beer. TV shows. Movies. What I'm wearing. House chores. Amount of food eaten. Amount of time it takes to get ready. Tears/Drama. Saying words like dude. I can't think of anymore that separates me from my girlfriend off the top of my head.

Real answer to the question either A) I forgot to ask or B) Didn't care enough to ask.
April 25, 201115 yr Men never wear another man's clothes or accompany other men to the bathroom. You'll never see a woman cleaning her ear with a car key.

April 25, 201115 yr Men don't pretend to be kissing each other when posing for a picture like 2 Women will. And men don't care what another man is wearing, ever... Not that there is anything wrong with that.
April 25, 201115 yr Men focus on facts: "What happened in the accident?" Women on feelings: "Who got hurt?" Men stop to fix a flat tire. Women don't. A man's attitude toward shopping is more of a hunt (find it, kill it, bag it, throw it in the trunk & go home). A woman's attitude toward shopping is more of an event (look at it, take it off the rack, pull out another one like it, go to another store and pull of the exact same shirt, examine it & others like it...rinse and repeat at least four more times). The way we determine if clothes are dirty: women by sight, men by smell. From a kid's perspective, I've noticed when there's sickness, kid calls for Mom. When there's a nightmare, kid calls for Dad.
April 25, 201115 yr A man will pay $20 for a $10 item that he needs. A woman will pay $10 for a $20 items that she doesn't need. (And proceed to brag about how much money she "saved".)

The real answer to your wife's question........ "I don't know"
April 25, 201115 yr Me: "So, where do you want to eat tonight?" My Wife: "Doesn't matter. Anywhere is fine." Me: "Okay, how about (insert restaurant name here)?" My Wife: "Naw....I don't really feel like that tonight." Repeat, repeat, repeat....until I threaten to take her to White Castle or Waffle House if she doesn't come up with an actual solution.
April 25, 201115 yr Grudges. I can get into an arguement that almost comes to blows with my best friend, say lots of stupid things and the next day we're still best friends as if the incident never happened. My girlfriend ended her friendship with her "best friend" because she had to find out from Facebook the sex of the baby her "best friend" was having. :lol:
