Default Women are never happy?

As a teenager, I had heard the following joke (now studies have shown that it is a reality that women are never happy. They just keep crying about having less even if they have everything):
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
“That’s nice”, she thinks, “but I want more.”
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

Comparisons are the root of all unhappiness.

You know there's a reason why man is called man while woman is called woman.

WO-MAN.

If you approximately halve the intelligence, sensitivity, empathy, depth and the strength of character of a WOMAN you get a MAN.


Seems fair.

Maybe because they have double the X than us men. They have got double the X factor why we have single and a WHY?! factor.

WOMAN is derived from Greek word too. It came from Woe-man which is derived from woe to man.

Too bad the men never visited the third floor: third floor has wives that love sex, have money, and love to cook.

Even more regret for the men who never visited the fourth floor: fourth floor has wives that love sex, have money, love to cook, and have read a book or two.

May I add that God created woman second [according to the holy text].

And it is to be expected that God got better the 2nd time than He did the first

Some days I wish I kept the receipt I got from the New Wives Store.
