    I know if we were to ever stop and ask for directions,
    men pay attention to them better. Of course, the
    thing is- We never stop and ask.

    Seriously, this is one of those questions a man can't
    win on. Why play?

    "Do these pants make my butt look big?"
    (The only safe answer)
    "No" (It's not the pants.)

    The Penis is the most useful tool in the world. Women keep thinking they can do man-things, chyah! sometimes I just think to myself "How're going going to to THAT without a PENIS!?!". Women can get by, but without the right tools for the job, its a struggle I'm sure.

    Do I look like I'm struggling to do anything penis-related?

    P.S. the most useful tool is a monkey wrench and some duct tape.

    The batteries are in the nightstand.

    Women and gay men. Straight men don't listen empathetically (as a general rule), the try to "fix" things and that's usually not what you want.

    the[y] try to "fix" things and that's usually not what you want.

    In order to try to "fix" it, they have to listen to the problem.
    Otherwise, that's correct. That's not usually what a woman wants,
    but rather she hopes for a sympathetic ear.

    That's intuition, not better listening. So you didn't make the point.

    Amen, OTWO. Intuition is not relegated to females. We all have it, it just depends on if we listen.

    OTWO: Perhaps that's the problem. Most men are not intuitive.

    Dinah: Statictically, men are less intuitive than women. And intuition and listening (while the can complement each other) are independant functions.
