Reply to: Male vs female

How did you come to that conclusion?

Since they each cannot tolerate the other's hobbies or desires, it does rather suggest it was a marriage based on something other than a deep respect and interest in the other as a person.

His first marriage failed and this time he's married a younger model and it is clearly not working very well so it is also bound for the rocks.

So she wants some flash shoes once in a while - of course she does, she's a woman. He should just be able to say how good she looks when she is happy wearing them and be happy for her.

So he wants some flash techno-gubbinsery - of course he does, he's a bloke. She should simply say "Yes, dear" and then admonish him for wasting the cost of a pair of shoes on something that prevents him hearing her telling him what to do.

That's how a successful marriage works. The "what's his is hers and what's hers is hers" philosophy.

Anyway, the solution to him getting upset at what she wears, and her getting upset at his taste in music, is perfectly simple and obvious.

What he really needs is a shed.

How did you come to that conclusion??

She can't love him 'cos they don't have the same taste in music?

obviously if she loved him, she would have got one shoe for Christmas and the other for her birthday. just to spread the cost, like

This is what happens when a woman marries for money rather than love.
I bet you buy your own lunch in work too, don't you?

What tends to happen, is that if the hifi is used while we're both in the flat, we "have" to listen to something that we both like. There's a bit of an age gap between us (12 years) and she isn't really into the 80's stuff that I adore (no not Duran Duran and Kajagoogoo) as she was only 9 at the end of the 80s!

But when she's out the speakers get an airing!!!!

I can't let her touch the turntable either - she's never owned a vinyl album and the mechanics of analogue are alien to her.

I'm getting old.......

Women have got many faults.
Men have only two.
Everything they say
And everything they do.

I wear the trousers in my relationship, and I have my wife's permission to say so.

I always have the last word in argument. The word is "Sorry".

Won't she let you use the speakers? Do you have to wait for her to go out??

I know how you feel.

I thort that

thort?

Urban Dictionary: thort

Is that what you really meant?

If I could justify it to the missus I'd get a pair of these to use at home: Grado PS1000

You'd be much better off finding a pair of Grado PS-1s rather than the PS1000. They sound better and have been appreciating in value steadily.

I'm sure you're right but I always find that people who wear big cans on trains always look like down and out DJs or auditionees as Cybermen in Doctor Who.

In the meantime, the GR8s are a decent compromise!

What the original poster appears to have utterly failed to comprehend (and leads me to wonder if he's ever met a woman let alone got involved in a relationship) is that male vs female has no basis in reality.

Women know they will always win in the end, there is no concept of competition or the male being right.

My new patio says 'I beg to differ'.

Moo haa haa.

If you wanted top quality, why did you go for in ears?

I've always found open backed ones sound much better.

Excuse me a minute.
