Her diary, his diary

[Onkel Neal]

Her Diary: Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

His Diary: Bike wouldn't start today. Can't figure it out, but at least I got laid.

I routinely refer my wife to this joke as a reminder that women have a tendency to over anylize things, and that 99% of the time when a man says nothing is wrong he is either being honest, or his problem is so mundane and insignificant that it does not warrant discussion.

Men are problem solvers, their psyche is governed by fixing things.

Women are nurturers, their psyche is governed by emotion.

When a man has a problem, he spends his time planning a solution.

When a woman has a problem, she spends her time moping, and using body language to elicit emotional responses from others.

Additionally, a mans problem tends to be more mechanical, physical or otherwise something that can be mended through action.

A woman on the other hand tends to turn every problem, large or small into a full blown crisis.

I think the important thing to take away from that picture is that the man sleeping with his bike... appears to be in a hotel room

Classic.

I wouldn't over-analyze the typical gender behaviours either though, Golden Rivet. Many a time I've actually had totally opposite things where I would overanalyze ladies' thoughts when in fact things were far more trivial. But people aren't mind-readers, even when they think they know their opposite in and out. Still, I'll be damned if this isn't a real scenario

True, but heres the way i look at men over analyzing women...

If it appears that something is wrong with my wife and i say

"Whats wrong?"

and she says "nothing."

I say

"Are you sure nothing is bothering you?"

she says "Yup, im fine."

At this point I DROP IT. Because this means i dont have to spend the next two hours discussing water retention, or biological clocks, or the finer points of discontinued lip glosses etc.

besides... a man could analyze a woman for three lifetimes and never make sense of her.

Now there's something I could subscribe to

Of course it is. Leaving your ride out in the parking lot vastly increases the chance of it being stolen.

Man <-- Problem solver

While true, i think it might be more practical just to park it in the room as opposed to sleeping with it, unless of course you are bunking with some rather dishonest individuals who might try to run off with your bride... errr i mean your RIDE in the middle of the night

It is a diesel engine bike. Starts easier when warm. Problem solver!
