Read 'Man are from Mars, Women are from Venus' - it's a load of cr@p but there's one key lesson - men and women use the same words but we speak different languages ;)

I can quite frankly get excited about things like understanding desmo valve systems or fitting a bit of kit to my bike.
THEY get all upset if you dont come and watch crp on the telly with them..... i have to say i find this whole BB thing somewhat repulsive, yet she finds it compulsive viewing.................its a man baby!!!!!

andy,
i thought you would be able to empathise with the whole big brother concept.......being told what to do by some generally unseen body, given ridiculous rules to abide by, being punished for trivial errors. etc etc.... ;)

:puzzled: I must not be a woman then...

I ban soaps in our house, (include BB as soap too!), only shop for clothes in lunch hour (not so much time for indecision then:lol: ).

I go out on bike even if hubby is out/busy whatever....am only able to take bike apart - but wont put together - thats what blokes do innit?:P.

I do my nails tho - I like ducati red for work.....and always wear suits & heels, along with makeup for work too. Not often for biking tho...... :lol::lol: (mascara running down face isnt nice.... and high heels play havoc with low level cans:lol: )

Cook most weekday nights... but like to go out - or be taken out at w/ends tho... and always watch GP/WSB etc - as well as motor racing!

CK, being an exception just adds to their confusion. If they can't fathom the standard model, what change have they got with the suped up ones? Don't attempt to enlighten them. The less they understand, the more freedom you've got.

Andyb, your confusion seems to stem from the fact that you've let her have the remote control. This is very unusual behaviour for a man and I'm surprised you've fessed up to it. GET IT BACK. That will solve a lot of the problems. Or, put a TV in your garage and tell HER you're giving her some 'space'. And one more tip (I've got loads but I'll keep them to myself, thanks) never, ever suggest she's pre-menstrual. We really hate that, especially when it's true. :devil::devil::lol:

Is a relationship not about tolerance and trying to understand what the other enjoys? Can pleasure not be derived from seeing somebody else happy however odd it seems to us? Or did Alexander the Great have the right idea?

As for Big Brother, - in my opinion you can't dismiss this year’s show as being in the same junk league as soaps. This years series was the most interesting example of a micro-society, - I think put together by some very clever psychologists who had the sense to foresee how certain personalities would react when mixed with others. At times it was fascinating to watch and see first hand how alcohol used by people who can't handle it has such a negative effect on a community, - and also how 1 person can have such a disruptive effect on a group of people which resulted in conflict.

The chosen winner also proved something deep within the UK psyche, - we all love an underdog and the sympathy vote here is king. Or was it fair play to a trans being "accepted" for the person she is now?

Couple of lessons I've learned - Don't advise her to wear shorts on holiday when she's even a tiny bit worried about wearing a bikini. That doesn't go down too well.

Oh, and don't let her look down your phone unless you're sure it's "clean" of ANY incriminating evidence.

Redruth

Speaking as someone who doesn't understand blokes, understanding women is a learning curve. By the time you get to 50, you might be half way there. Expect progress to be slow and painfull. Changing models, particularly changing to younger ones, only adds to the confusion. You either have to admit failure early on and just enjoy being confused or steer clear of us all together. Let's face it, if you're honest, you'd rather be out having a blat with the blokes or having a quiet drink in the pub ... come to that, so would I!

Oh no! Nadia's a MAN you say!!!! OK so she may look a bit rough round the edges, and that steel pole looked as though it was bending a little when she was hangin off it, but has anyone checked her credentials? She may have said it just for the sympathy vote.

If women were female men I could understand them, but they're not, and I don't.

As the old punchline goes:"It would be easier to build a multi-lane highway between England and Hawaii than it would to be able to understand a woman"

Maybe God is a woman,great minds think a like, then Man may as well ride around on a Ducati with his mates cause we an'int much good at anything else if we are to believe the fairer sex's angle of things, the thing with Man/ Women is we dont live long enough or have the time to waste in trying to understand Man Women relationships,just how many books have been writen about the subject, most of the writers have all ended up divorced or chucked them self of Beachy Head . I think Einstien's Theory of Relitivity may indeed be an easier subject to understand. Ill just ask the missus 4D

OH COME ON JOHN...Surely you know better than to goad us on?...RIGHT...

What do you call a handcuffed man?
Trustworthy.

What does it mean when a man is in your bed gasping for breath and calling your name?
You didn't hold the pillow down long enough.

Why do only 10% of men make it to heaven?
Because if they all went, it would be Hell.

Why do men like smart women?
Opposites attract.

What was the thread here? Oh yeah. 'Help me understand women.' Women, in general, will not admit to their faiilings. In fact, they are not failings, they are 'qualtiies, reasons you love them, advantages even.' The chasm between men and women is SOOOOO huge, it cannot be crossed. Can we ditch this thread?

When God created Eve and she'd been hanging around he asked her if she was happy with what he had created,so she looked in the mirror.
Why have i got three breasts she asked God? I think i would look better with 2 so God removed one and chucked it in the hedge.
A week later Eve said she was lonely and asked for a partner so God retreived the useless tit and introduced man.

However, wrt this thread, a couple of the decals are of "4-Play" in a kind of scripty font.
My 8 year old daughter saw these and said "If you don't want those dad, can I put them on my bike?" To which, mother chips in with "course you can love, daddy doesn't know what they mean any way"
