I don’t care about asking directions or pulling over to look at the map. Not a problem. But, fer godssakes, don’t ask me to slow down, especially if you do it snotilly. I really, really hate that. I’m not big and muscular, and driving speed’s all the masculinity I have so LET ME DRIVE 70 IN THE 55 ZONE DAMMIT! If you tell me to slow down, I will only drive faster. I know what I’m doing, and if you pester me anymore, I’ll deliberately hit pedestrians. Seriously, don’t mess with me when I can make your ass go from 65-0 in 0 seconds flat, OK? ---

\< techchick realizes why she’s still single \> It’s not because the men I date are stupid, it’s that I am too smart. I can work on a computer. I can work on my car, although I haven’t in a while. I can work on plumbing or heating with little or no guidance. I can read a map, but I don’t need to, incredible sense of direction. I hate housework. I hate yard work. I am good at things financial. I can program the VCR. I have more CDs than most men. I wanna be a race car driver. I like to cook. I like to hike. I like football. I like hockey. I hate shopping. I prefer jeans over skirts. I like men. I don’t want children. There’s more, but now I now have a better idea as to why I don’t stay around men too long. They’re too needy – and I am a gay man in a woman’s body. Hmmm, seems to me that men need to quit thinking that all of us wimmin are useless and there are those of us that just piss you off cuz we can do just as much if not more than you. 😉 ---

Actually, you could change the title of this to “the bad thing about People is” at least 90% of the time. That’s why I hang out here, to find the other 10%. ---

I’ve just figured out why you wimmen are constantly trying to get us guys to stop and ask for directions. _You’re trying to get rid of us._ My mother always told me never to talk to strangers, because she loves me. But the rest of you think I should go up to every weirdo I can find and ask for his help. I guess that guy with the shifty eyes and the “The End is Near” sign should be my best friend just 'cause he’s standing on the side of the road talking to himself. And the fact that he hasn’t bathed in a week is a clear indication that he has the information I want. Ha! You can’t fool me! ---

> [@](#): > > Well if you and your honey are anything like me and mine, it’s probably because she asked YOU to do it in your manly and superior way every day for two weeks, but you were way too busy doing “important” things that she couldn’t possibly understand, and you blew her off so many times that she finally gave up, and tried doing it herself. That’s probably EXACTLY what happened! Sometimes you have to nag or something just won’t get done. And when nagging doesn’t work, the next best thing to do is try to do it yourself and screw it up so he _has_ to fix it. Unless, of course, you’re married to my husband; then you end up either nagging him to fix it or calling your mother to come fix it for you. ---

I can read a road map. I can fix most minor household problems. (no taking a vent out of a wall for Swiddles!) So what? Yes, we’re better at arguing than you Y-chromosome holdin’ people. You’re just jealous. What you refer to as “turning an argument around” we refer to as the “fake left” move. That’s what they teach us when the guys go to another room during sex ed. And, now that this is in the pit, fuck you, you llama-squicking, misogynist queef-for-brains! You can all just kiss my lily-white, sweet little female ass. Yall are wonderful about complaining about 60% of the population, but lets see you attempt to go at it alone for a while and time how long it takes before all your clothes are one shade of pink.

Your right andros, she is pretty funny when she’s mad… cheeks all red… how adorable. Want to know what happened last time a wimmin tried to mow the lawn?? She got this idea in her little brain that she was going to go out and mow the lawn. 20 min and a quarter of the lawn mowed later I had to go finish it and then replace **THREE** sprinkler heads and risers that she mowed over and destroyed!!! IT WAS A BRAND NEW MOWER BLADE!!! God! Stupid woman **I said I would do it later!!!** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-bad-thing-about-wimmins-is/25781.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-bad-thing-about-wimmins-is/25781.md?page=3)
