I seem to remember seeing a variant of that joke here a long time ago, the difference being the punch line was about the favorite team blowing their chance at the championship.

It's good to see it again.

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.
I'm simply wondering if we're both married to the same woman

Considering they are all more or less the same... one might could argue that we are married to the same woman

A woman on the other hand tends to turn every problem, large or small into a full blown crisis.
Apologies in advance if your post was meant tongue-in-cheek, Goldenrivet. If not, am I the only one to find the above slightly patronising, and definitely ill-informed?

Certainly the above description does not apply to most women I know. I have worked in a female-majority industry for many years, and I assure you that most women are more than capable of making effective decisions. In fact, their ability to analyse every aspect of the problem is a strength. I agree that men like to be decisive. What that often means in reality is that they make a quick choice without considering the wider issues and simply get on with it (I include myself in this, by the way!). Only later is the weakness of this black-and-white decision revealed when the subtle complexities of the actual situation is revealed.

Often the women then have to sort it all out, whilst if the man had listened to their advice in the first place the subsequent problems would not even have arisen...Trust me - I have been THAT man...

I have searched high and low for the old 'Awesome Jokes' thread, and I can't find it anywhere. I'm sure that it's not too old, since Frau K herself posted on it, but it seems to be just plain gone. Maybe yours was there.

There was this article in a local newspaper not long ago. The problem is that women tell their problems just for the sake of sharing them with a friend, while men only tell their problems when they need help.

So the problem is when a woman tells a man about a problem the man will try and fix it which would be against the womans wishes
And when a man tells a woman about a problem usually ends bad cause he will want her help while she will think that it was enough help just listening to him...

I guess thats why women have all these gay friends, trustworthy of a man and the ears of a woman... And I thought that listening to a womans problems were an act of a gentleman, boy was I wrong
The interesting thing is I now always ask before she starts whinning: do you need my help?? and if the answer is NO, I tell her STFU !!!! And suprisingly my luck with women changed for the better
