Relationship lessons from the master...

Some relationship advice from John Wing…

When your wife/girlfriend comes in to talk to you and starts by saying “I have a problem” there is a procedure one should follow…

After replying by saying, “Tell me about it” one should adopt a listening posture; lean forward, cup your hand to your ear and let her speak her mind. Don’t interrupt her and when she’s finished don’t try and solve her problem for her.

This isn’t why she came to you.

Women just need to bounce their thoughts off of our hollow skulls and by the time they have finished speaking they have figured things out for themselves. Our input is neither needed or desired by the woman.

By doing this you can save time and get back to watching the game that much sooner.

Note: John Wing is a tremendously funny comedian that we had the opportunity to see last week.

What you should say to them is just ‘wow, that sounds horrible!’

Then they go on for another half hour.

Don’t you guys have a girlfriend remote? You just mute them, put them on pause, and when your games over, hit FF, and then play at the end.

wow, high post count handy. highest i’ve seen. is there an official record?

Hey soulsling… using the remote is a bad idea, we at least have to pretend that we’re paying attention…

Im deaf, so I just shut my eyes & I can’t ummm hear them or look at something else. I think this drives them nuts.

But at least I can look at all the women around me when Im with a woman & get away with that cause I just say I need to look around because I can’t hear whats around me.

You guys do not have us fooled one bit. We know you don’t listen to us, we can see that dazed look in your eyes when we are talking to you.

So why then do you keep prattling on, when it’s so obvious we are not interested?

I’d just like to say that the person/friend in my life who has the worst listening skills and is most prone to unsolicited advice-giving and problem solving is a woman.
