Men and Women

[Gary_in_Indiana]

Men like cars. Women like gardening. Sure, there are exceptions. But the fact of the matter is that you'll always see more men at a car show and more women at a gardening show. It's just the way it is.

That says something about how men and women look at taking a spouse, too. I know it may sound crazy, but bear with me a moment on this. With either a car or a spouse, when a man finally makes a commitment to get one, he expects pretty much zero maintenance for at least five years or so.

Women, on the other hand, tend to want to be constantly working on and tending to either a spouse or a garden constantly in an effort to make it better and better. Men look at this much work as a sign something is seriously wrong mechanically. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

If there ever is a problem, a woman will try to work and dig down to the very roots to try to fix whatever's wrong, no matter how much or how long it takes. Men very often see this same thing as a sign it's time to trade up. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Which is why I hang out at the gardening shows! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The lone male walking into a car show room sure doesn't get the same attention as when he walks in with his wife.

Does your line of reasoning also apply to a lone male walking into a TRACTOR show room? I think not. Let's start a poll on how many TBN members actually took their spouses with them while shopping for a new tractor. I certainly didn't because for just ONCE I wanted to choose the color.

I do most of the gardening because I enjoy it, and I did not take my wife tractor shopping because ............................ SHE did not want to go. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gary....As depressing as it may be, your reasoning makes perfect sense to me. I think you have a fairly accurate grasp on male/female logic in a general sense.

Anytime the Male walks into a store with the Wife in hand it's serious buying time.

I went with Fred to buy our tractor, but he walked out with what he wanted as I had no clue what to look for.

After " She Who Must Be Obeyed " comes back from looking at Gardening displays it seems the priority and scope of my planned projects is definetly changed.
