To The Weaker Sex



Only a child asks a woman why she is crying,

And only a devil doesn't.


It is a fool's errand to ask a woman what she is thinking,

But a deadly mistake to believe that her silence means she isn't.


"It's all right, darling."

Please. It's filed away.

"I don't mind, darling."

You'll pay and pay and pay.


What do women want?

Do you need a map and both hands, with Sherlock Holmes trailing behind?

Really, sir,

I promise you, sir

It's not that hard to find.

  3. I don't believe that all men are weaker than women, some are, but not all!

    Mental strength knows no gender.

  4. So,
    Whatcha thinking ;-)


    (I'll go ahead and lie to you now) I know what women want.



    No seriously, you've about summed it up!
    Most of us are clueless when it comes to knowing these things. Few of us admit to it...fewer, still, do anything to cure our ignorance.

  5. This was wonderful. And so true. It's not complicated, but it sure feels that way.

    My hubby is still asking when I'm going to provide him with my owner's manual - lol!

  7. It is invariably women who are referred to as "the weaker sex." I have no qualms at all about turning the tables here.

  14. What do women want? An age old question. Some men may need a whole lot more than a map and Sherlock Holmes as a tour guide to answer this question.

  15. I never ask anyone what they're thinking.
