Men are Lunatics, Women are Nuts
The Difference
Women have more imagination than men. They need it to tell us how
wonderful we are. Women have their faults. Men have only two.
Everything they say. Everything they do. 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.
The Style
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow
deteriorate during the night. When women are depressed they either eat or go
shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking. A
man is a person who will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item he wants. A
woman will pay one dollar for a two-dollar item that she doesn't want.
The Workplace
When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her
opinions, she's a bitch. Women are the only exploited group in history who have
been idealized into powerlessness.
Relationships
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Dogs are a man's best friend. Now you
know which sex is smarter. Most men's primary fantasy is still,
unfortunately, access to a number of beautiful women. For a man,
commitment means giving up this fantasy. Most women's primary fantasy is a
relationship with one man who either provides economic security or is on
his way to doing so (he has "potential"). For a woman, commitment to this
type of man means achieving this fantasy. So commitment often means that
a woman achieves her primary fantasy, while a man gives his up. It's not
true that men prefer foolish women. Rather they prefer women who can
simulate foolishness whenever necessary, which is the very core of
intelligence.
Love
Men always want to be a woman's first love. Women have a more subtle
instinct: What they like is to be a man's last romance. The only way to
understand a woman is to love her -- and then it isn't necessary to
understand her. To women, love is an occupation. To men, a
preoccupation. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand
her at all.
Marriage
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man
marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does. Men marry
because they are tired; woman because they are curious. Both are
disappointed. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband,
while a man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A woman
will always cherish the memory of the man who wanted to marry her; a man,
of the woman who he didn't. There are two times when a man doesn't
understand a woman -- before marriage and after marriage.
Husbands
Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. One is to let her
think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.
Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more
willing to die. Any married man should forget his mistakes -- no use two
people remembering the same thing.
Wives
Some husbands are living proof that a woman can take a joke. Husbands are
like cars: all are good the first year.
The Battle
A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that
is the beginning of a new argument.
On Men
If you women knew what we were thinking, you'd never stop slapping us.
Men are like animals, but they make great pets.
On Women
Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy fat
women. Women have two weapons -- cosmetics and tears. Women may be the only
group that grows more radical with age. God made man before woman to give him
time to think of an answer for her first question.
