you cannot,
they will always fight...
they're single minded,
and not very bright...
She burst into tears and left the room. And he turned to me and said, "That wasn't the right thing to say?" 😳
A man seems to put his foot in his mouth more regularly than a woman. But I don't think intentionally...

Originally posted by Landisqueen170I can relate to this phenomena. Sometimes I will say what I think is a sincere observation about my wife and (fortunately) she will laugh as she waits for me to catch up.

Originally posted by lolofWell, normally I would say yes...but in this one narrow category, my experience has been that men seem to do this more often than not.

I do not think any woman would ever dare say what my husband said to a pregnant woman. lol It just wouldn't happen.

Originally posted by Landisqueen170Anyone can say spontaneous silly things - not the same ones, but similar, and just as unsuitable.

Originally posted by lolofI don't think it is ridiculing them. I actually think it is an endearing quality. Men (generally speaking) often just say what they think as they think it...they tend to be more blunt, whereas women are perhaps a bit more sensitive to how their words might affect another.
Why would we want to ridicule men, what's the point? Anyone can say silly things sometime.
I don't see it as a negative or a positive..it just is what it is.
Originally posted by Landisqueen170I myself am just the type of person you refer to - spontaneous sometimes insensitive but usually no harm meant at all. That's the reason I post in this thread but enough about that now. 🙂
