- You're not understanding enough

- You're not sensitive to feelings or needs

- Order and cleanliness are not that important

- You don't appreciate the efforts women make

- It's always about you

The one complaint I'd like an explanation for is this alleged set of complicated double standards we're supposed to have. What's that all about, gentlemen?

Katie

It is obvious no research was done for this article. It is also obvious the author talked only one person to compile this list, my ex-wife.

To set the record straight, I wasn't chastised by admin.

I deleted it after being chastised..by you.

My apologies again.

Rabbit trails, fish bowl, blow fish what is that, some kind of chick code? If you got something on your shoe say it like it is, shoe-polish.

Fishbowl=singles life in TV
Bowlfishers=laughing at ourselves as singles in TV.

Respectfully, please make me laugh, I know you can do it!

Kitty,

I'm aiming for September. It depends on whether I can find a 3/2 rental that doesn't require more blood than my body can still live on. Thanks for asking.

On another note...Is there a single male (or female for that matter) who can enlighten me as to what the "Complicated Double Standard" is that they are talking about, and we woman are supposedly guilty of? - As referred to in the Men's complaint list.

Also, here is your opportunity to list the ones that they missed.

I don't know who cooked up those Cosmo lists. Although a few make sense to me and are valid, many are ?????

The best book I ever read on the differences in men and women is written by an Australian husband and wife, Allan and Barbara Pease. It is entitled "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps". It was a #1 international best seller, first published in 2001. I have a now very dog-eared 2009 edition. Mine I think I bought in Singapore. It was published in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Asia according to the copyright notice page in my copy. I do not know if it has been published in the USA.

Some of the topics:

Why men can't do more than one thing at a time

Why women make such a mess of reverse parking

Why men should never lie to a woman

Why women talk so much and men so little

Why men love erotic images and women aren't impressed

Why women prefer simply to talk it through

Why men offer solutions but hate advice

Why women despair about men's silences

Why men lie and women cry

p.s. This video provides a few amusing revelations of differences between men and women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=L29KmQxEA3E

Nothing wrong with watching a cable movie at each other's house with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and just enjoying each other's company without it becoming a romp.

I agree with Diane (and some others). What I have found here in TV is that I have quite a few male "friends" that are just that. We can hang together, go have a drink together, have dinner together, even dance together, without becoming romantically involved. I also have many, many married friends that I hang out with. Sometimes, we arrange our get-togethers so that the men don't get insulted that they aren't invited, LOL... And other times, we go out as couples and I am alone (as a single, which I am proud of).

I hope this post put this thread back on track???

That's exactly what I want when I get to TV. I want no pressure just good friends to hang with and have a drink with, and yes, sometimes ask for help with. Married or single - we all need human contact. I too am ok with being single. It's really not a bad thing !!

[kittygilchrist]

What is singles life...thanks Katie, a world of good happening...
Charles escorted me (dating is not for me at this time) to McCall's last eve, where we bumped into Jim and Marianne. I knew Jim from dancing. The music was gritty dirt blues and I can't say when I've had such a good time on the floor.
Charles talked me into ignoring my "need" to get back to my puppy dog, and said I have to learn to stay up late, get up late, "the night is young"...so we went to City Fire and danced on...my animals were very happy to see me when I got home.
I guess if I'm gonna be single here, Emma and Raul will adapt to getting up at 8 instead of 6....
happy, come on down, Katie, it's

This usually comes up at the doctor's office, but whenever someone asks me, "Do you live alone?" in that slightly worried and pitying voice, I reply, "Yes, thank goodness!"

As the saying goes, I like having a man in my life but not in my house.
