Question: Did you write that yourself, or find it on a site and copy and paste it?
Answer: You copied and pasted it. 
Now, this dosen't go well to say women think for themselves, eh? 
How can we declare the women victors with out a proper rebuttal?
I think a secondary "home-made" list is in order, and I intend to write it.
You've crossed the wrong gentleman, ladies.  |

Heh . . . please remember folks that the above was a mostly accurate generalization. It does not fit everyone. Just read it and laugh instead of picking out small points to argue over.  |

I had no intention of doing so until I read that. This is fine as a joke, but... a "mostly accurate generalization"? ;)

Strangely enough, I know of no men who call themselves such peculiar names, but have heard girls who call each other by the most peculiar of nicknames. (Although not the ones mentioned above, obviously.)

When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. |
Allow me to note the contradiction between this point and section eight. Also allow me to note that most men carry more than just a $20 bill with them and I know of no men who would consider throwing in $80 for a $32.50 bill. Perhaps just two of them would cover it or something, but they wouldn't pay extra (above and beyond a decent gratuity, at least). They may even decide on paying their part back later.
And as for women with pocket calculators... As my college has a strong engineering program, I see plenty of people, men and women, who have their TI-89s or better with them at all times. (In fact, bragging about the quality of your calculator is a must among engineers, it seems. Having a QWERTY keyboard on your calculator is a plus. An enormous display is even better. Having a 3-D first person shooter installed on your calculator is, naturally, the ultimate in terms of impressing/shaming the rest of the engineering majors.) These people probably do have their calculators with them when they go out to eat. However, I half think that they calculate their share of the bill with differential equations.

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. |
Advantage: men. If one actually needs something, then one has a valuation of much higher than the supposed standard market value. Paying $1 too much for something you need is much more practical than paying $1 under the price of something for which you have no use. ;)
| Christian Cowgirl wrote: | 4.BATHROOMS
A man has five items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Marriott.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items. |
You imply men are thieves and that women are vain. Hmm...
| Christian Cowgirl wrote: | 5.ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. |
Meaningless tripe.

Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. |
Strong advantage: men!

Are you saying that a wife causes one to worry? I think not.
| Christian Cowgirl wrote: | 8.SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man. |
From whence does this idea of women spending inordinate amounts of money originate? I imagine that they are just like men: some are frugal, some extravagant.

A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. |
I demand evidence of this. ;)

A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. |
I've often seen rather the opposite. And who in their right mind dresses up to answer the phone, water the plants, etc.? ;)

Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. |
Believe it or not, many dads are very involved in the lives of their children.
| Christian Cowgirl wrote: | 13.THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Any married man should forget his mistakes.
There's no use in two people remembering the same thing. |
Ideally, it would be the opposite. The person who makes a mistake should learn from it and the person who observed it should drop it. Right?
No, there was really no reason to Fisk a joke, and there was nothing wrong with the joke. But Amadeo's statement made it seem very necessary. |

Probably the most accurate statement of all.

My statement was aimed at confrontational nitpicking, not humorous takes such as your own. |

I know, the whole thing is kinda equal as far as Man vs. Woman. Thats why I like it, its funny and gives something for everyone.

All right, I must take this step-by-step, as have others before me.

Well, we call one of our guyfriends "Moondoggy," one "Smile," one "Daddy," (long story) and we have random nicknames for some others that we don't actually call them. The only nickname I have for one of my girl friends is "Nea Naner" and her name is Danae (it kind of makes sense). Beyond that, nothin'.
| Quote: | 6.CATS

This made me laugh, though I heartily disagree with the first statement. While I love kittens, I am very close to hating cats. But every guy I know hates cats too.
| Quote: | 7.FUTURE

While not entirely true, I thought this was a good one. It makes so much sense to me. However, most of the guys I know are already "worrying" about the future.

Ugh. This one made me cringe. I hate dressing up (except in extremely formal formals). One rarely sees me without jeans and a t-shirt on. And I know guys that dress up (though ever so slightly) on random occasions.
| Quote: | 11.NATURAL

I just didn't really get this one... I think guys look just as bad as girls do in the morning (I've been on enough weekend or week-long Mexico trips to assure plenty of early-morning male faces). Especially their hair. And most females look bad in the morning simply by self-proclamation.

While I laughed at a whole lot of these, this one just made me angry.
