WHY MEN WOULDNT LISTEN AND WOMEN WONT READ MAPS, EVER

There is this nice handbook that I’ve seen with many women, specially married women, even my wife has her own copy of it. The author(s), a bloke and a blonde write about varied topics varying from Stereotypes to smartness, multitasking to mind matters, attitudes and emotions to love marriage and sex. The first thing I didn’t like about the book was its cover, with the bloke and blonde staring quizzically and enticingly respectively, if they had used Fred and Wilma Flintstones it would have been better I guess. The opening page itself shows how hollow their research has been and how manipulative the authors have been. They say that men and women live in different worlds,but they don’t accept if particularly men. Correction dear, it’s not that they live in diff worlds worlds its just women who presume they are in a different world. Coz theres only one world we know of till now and that’s this world with the seven continents 192 countries and Two World wars. There clearly is a difference between men and women taking into consideration their thought process and use of words at different times. Women tend to be subtle showing how they get hurt with things and get their way by sweet talk, on the other hand men forget the sugar coating and give the pill directly, which is spilled out and not swallowed.

It seems women can do so many things at the same time. I agree, i’ve seen my sister, sis-in-law dabble the kid with one hand talk on the phone while stirring the curries in the kitchen, and I did find that during those times mostly the food would either get a little overcooked (I dare not use the word BURNT) or too spicy(women think it’s better if it gets more, less isn’t accepted. When I was in Hyd last Sep I had to go for my exam rather early in the morning so had to ride to my centre. On the way I used to see a woman, nearly the same age as me driving to work in her swanky new car. As I was single then I had the full right of staying behind her and peek at her. I saw her for three days, and every day she would swing onto the main road from the right side lane, mostly in front of a school bus or an unassuming rider and speed away without as much a glance on the left side of the road. Because our timing matched I would surely see her car literally jumping onto the road a little further on the straight road. To be true, I did wish she would take note of me someday, but she was mostly preoccupied with her lipstick n comb, while she chatted away on her mobile happily giggling and caring a damn for the world around. Sure women are good at multitasking, I would think and jus then she would swirl the car around and run back to take another right turn that she missed. And all three days she missed it, inspite of me going ahead and giving the right signal one day. Well so much for multi tasking.

Then there’s another point I don’t understand at all, why do women leave their husband and go home just to call back and ask, “Are u missing me? I’m missing u a lot.” Why in the hell do they move away when they know it’s going be tough? If they are told that they will be missed, women ask not to say something like that and make their move difficult, but still they’ll go anyways. Is it that they feel the person in their life doesn’t take note of their contribution in his life and appreciate it? That a sabbatical will let it out, or is it that women love the crying and wailing guy? Why in the world would they want to be missed when the guy is ready to feel her in everything she has left in his room, till she returns? We guys don’t know how to whine and crib about things like these so we don’t, doesn’t our hibernation at such intervals tell women anything? We would rather think SHE is around taking care of me rather than miss her and look for a substitute for the time being. I don’t say women miss and take some substitute they are far too chaste to do anything of that sort I believe. There are some things that are to be taken as per the words and not look for an inherent meaning that’s never been there.

Thats the reason women won’t be able to read maps, maps give information as it is, there isn’t any other meaning they can take out. There is only one direction you look a map at with due North pointing up. Anything else will take you to a different place that you never wanted to reach. Hope I’ve driven my point with this one.
