who is better?;) men vs women...

i am a bit bored today, and i don't know what to do, that's why i started this topic, hehe;) i have read an article taken from http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/ some of you might think this topic a bit stupid or mabye primitive, that's ok. as i have written, the topic came to my mind because i'm bored and i can't sleep...hmm insomnia?;) so forgive me...

Women are better than men when it comes to washing their hands in public toilets. This is according to a new study* from the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). It monitored the washing habits of thousands of people in restrooms in four major U.S. cities. It found 90 percent of women washed their hands, compared with 75 percent of men. A separate telephone survey revealed that people perhaps lie about how hygienic they are: 97 percent of women and 96 percent of men said they always wash their hands after using a public restroom.
Dr. Judy Daly of the ASM advised: “One of the most effective tools in preventing the spread of infection is at our fingertips. The single most important thing we can do to keep from getting sick and spreading illness to others is to clean our hands.” She explained that cold and flu viruses are spread by hands more often than through the air from sneezing. However, the study found only 42 percent wash after petting a dog or cat, 32 percent after coughing or sneezing and 21 percent after handling money. Banknotes and coins are full of illness-causing bacteria.


hmm, i think it;s true - men almost always don't wash their hands in toilets,they don't have personal hygiene habits...women are cleaner...men sometimes don't close toilet/lavalatory (?) - i can't stand it!!!!

... but it's not only this that i wanted to talk about...
what do you think? who is funnier / better at telling jokes? or mabye who is more honest? what about this - who is more sensible and what about common sense - here, in my opinion women win - we are extremely sensible and we not only take care about our children, husband, family but also aour friends, pets and sometimes strangers. we know how to deal with some problems, we are stronger when it comes to stress.
I know...somebody can tell me that everything depends on a person, but let's generalize or discuss those problems. I don't know if on/in(?) forum there are more women than men, i hope both sexes will join;)

I won't! Terri and eva are on the forum and you can't win with them... ;-)

My darling Artur,
You must know very well, that you DO have a right to express your own opinion - when after careful consideration of the situation, Eva and I give you permission. Permission granted. ;-)

Terri and I know very well that men, emotionally, are the weaker sex, so let's not even start because we'll just crush your ego and you'll end up in intensive therapy for the next five years or so.

men sometimes don't close toilet/lavalatory (?) - i can't
>stand it!!!!

I don't care about details like that. Leaving the seat up doesn't bother me at all, either.

What I have found, however, is that men's public washrooms are much much cleaner than women's. Ladies rooms are positively disgusting.

I'm currently reading a book - 'Why men lie and women cry' by A.& B. Pease.
Little gems from the book:
...'A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife'.
...'Have you noticed that all women's problems start with men?
Men-opause, Men-strual pain, MNen-tal illeness, Guy-naecologist, His-terectomy'.
Best ones though:
...'Definition of a man: A life support system for a penis'.
...'Why does it take 4 million male sperm to find and fertilize an egg? Not one wants to ask for directions'.

And now something just for the ladies...
When God had finished creating the Universe, he realised that he had two things left over to divide between Adam and Eve. One, he explained, was an implement that would allow its owner to pee standing up. Adam was thrilled, and begged and begged that he be allowed to have it.
Eve smiled graciously and told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, he should have it. So God gave it to Adam, who immediately went off and excitedly peed up against a tree, and drew a pattern in the sand. And God saw that it was good.
God then turned to Eve. "Well, here's the other thing," He said. "I guess you can have it."
"Thanks," replied Eve. "What's it called?" God smiled back and He answered, "Multiple orgasms".

sorry,just noticed a typo:
'MNen-tal illeness' should be 'Men-tal illness'
...got over-excited.

It's because they use it less often. Hardly ever is there a queue to the gents;) have you noticed this phenomenon? Besides (as the reaserch shows) they don't clean their hands - which results in fewer papier towels and less soap all over the place. let alone sanitary towels;)

I love all those relationship self-help books. LOL They are hilarious. I never know whether to feel sorry for the guys (because they are so simple) or for the girls who are dying trying to figure them out.

How to get him to marry you - A Prince on a White Horse story (caution: not for the girls who are desperate to marry).

Once upon a time there was a princess. Along came a prince who asked her if she'd like to ride on his white horse. She said, "I'd like to take a ride on your horse, but I can't right now because I'm a little busy getting my OWN horse. Go ride off into the sunset without me, and I'll catch up to you a little later." Suddenly, the prince is dumbfounded. He's never heard anything like this before. Something clicks inside him, and it starts a fire within him that he can't put out, because she doesn't need him. And then he says, "I HAVE to be with her for the rest of my life."

haha, yeah!!! totally agree :)

Found some more:
...Most men prefer looks to brains, because most men can see better than they can think..
...Only enemies tell the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty..
...The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys..

And now a little bit rude...
1. What's the difference between a tart and a bitch? A tart will sleep with anyone. A bitch will sleep with anyone except you.
2. Why do men give their penis a name? Because they don't want a complete stranger making their major decisions.
2. What's the definition of the perfect male lover? He makes love until 2 am then turns into chocolate.
...Sexual attractiveness is 50% of what you've got and 50% of what others think you've got...

Lost in Translation or What He Means When He Says...

(what he means is in brackets)

Another glass of wine? (Drink up. We'll both look better.)
I need space. (We're so over that I'm thinking of going into the witness protection program to get away from you.)
You're beautiful. (Thanks for not wearing a bra.)
I'll call you. (Good bye.)
Is that a new dress? (Great, how much did that cost me?)
I love you. (I want to have sex.)
I love you too. (Now can we have sex?)
I'm going out with the guys. (If Dave had breasts, I'd never see you again.)
I've just been really busy with work. (I'd rather take a beating than spend another hour with you.)
But we just spoke two days ago. (How can I miss you if you don't go away?)
Let's split the bill. (I'm a cheap bastard.)
It's not you, it's me. (It's definitely you.)
Sure we can be just friends. (As long as we can do it naked.)
Can I help you with dinner? (Will it ever be ready?)
Have you lost weight? (I just booked a golf game for Saturday.)
It would take too long to explain. (I have no idea how it works.)

ok, my turn:) taken from The Guardian...lon, long time ago:0

10 strange things that men do...

... that can only be explained by a primeval reflex to show off to potential mates

1 Cycling with no hands. Why? With folded arms is particularly obnoxious.

2 Throwing things in the air and catching them in their mouths. Sweets, nuts, cigarettes. Presumably it is supposed to demonstrate coordination. If it worked, women would regularly fall in love with seals.

3 Undoing bra straps with one hand. They think it shows confidence and experience. It's just sleazy.

4 Wearing massive boxer shorts. Why do men do this? Best guess is that they flatter themselves that their giant organs need the spare capacity.

5 Whistling. Presumably once a mating call, redundant since we evolved for speech. It is never musical, except at the end of '(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay' by Otis Redding.

6 Carrying a big bunch of keys. Suggests ownership of big cave.

7 Driving around in white vans with one wireless phone headset in each ear. Suggests potential to be rugged fighter pilot.

8 Making a fuss. 'Waiter, this wine is corked!' Dates back to Neolithic times when weak cavemen could achieve alpha status by annoying other males into submission.

9 Wearing hair gel. Robbie shouldn't, nor should you.

10 Goatee beards. Anthropologists say it indicates civilised manliness: 'I produce lots of hair, but I deftly sculpt it with my razor.'



and....15 things no man wants to hear... from a woman

1 Any stories about ex-boyfriends, even ones told against the poor blokes. If your ex was a violent, brainless, tattooed ex-con, this will only make us feel boring and unmanly. And scared.

2 The phrase 'I'd say it's bang-on average, if not slightly bigger'. Best to steer clear of the size issue. Like us talking about your weight, it can only lead to misunderstanding and hurt.

3 Obsessive accounts of your diet and exercise regime. Men like skinny women, true. But they dislike being exposed to the borderline eating disorders and pathological obsessiveness that produce them. And curvy and sane always beats mad and thin. Eventually.

4 The accusing phrase, 'What's wrong with the blue dress, then?' after we have said we like the red one.

5 Any details of your day at work. Although men can find the most basic things endlessly fascinating - the number of buttons on their shirts, farting - they will suddenly develop ADD when it comes to your professional life. Unless you are a porn actress. No, actually, even then...

6 Any information about things you thought about buying. We are perfectly happy to admire actual purchases, but yearning for those phantom shoes/dress/bag exasperates us.

7 Stories about other men patronising you. This will give us an irresistible urge to ruffle your hair and say in a kids-TV voice, 'Awww, did dey? Did dey do dat to oo?' I know, sometimes we're asking for trouble.

8 The word 'Fine' as a stand-alone sentence. The scariest syllable in the female vocabulary.

9 The sound of weeping. It destroys us.

10 Any details of strife you may be having with your female friends. The endless round of hurt and rapprochement that constitutes girls' friendships mystifies us. If she's that much trouble just delete her from your bloody mobile.

11 The phrase, 'Hang on, I'll just reply to this text before we order'. We want first claim on your attention, woman.

12 The phrase, 'Can you turn over, you're snoring'. Great, that's both of us awake.

13 The words 'Am I special? Am I?' Especially if you are drawing a circle around our nipple with your finger at the time.

14 Anyone else's name, in your sleep.

15 Your dreams. Unless we're in them. And in a good light, too. If not, save 'em for the shrink

Is Your Computer 'Male' or 'Female'?

Five reasons to believe computers are female:


No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.

The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."

Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.


However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male.

Their reasons follow:


They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.

They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.

As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.

In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

....and you have to 'boot' them to make them 'come on'.

Nice one terri !!

haha, yes it's true - very good;)

oh, i almost forgot!!! it's in Polish, you might have seen it - but the topic is men vs women;) (Maciej Stuhr)

OK guys, let's women have their dreams about their superiority .... ;-)

ok, Artur- let men think that they make all the major decisions in life.

Well, they do. The bad ones that truly affect their lives. Hence so many regrets on a deathbed.

Subject: Why Men Die First...

This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries but, now we
know...

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat
race...you're a male chauvinist.

If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy.

If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her.

If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay ...you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is favoritism.

If she gets a job ahead of you ... it's equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... it's sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet ... it's male indifference.

If you cry ... you're a wimp.

If you don't ... you're insensitive.

If you make a decision without consulting her ... you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you ... she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy ... that's domination.

If SHE asks you ... it's a favour.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear ... you're a pervert.

If you don't ... you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape ... you're sexist.

If you don't ... you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're vain.

If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers ... you're after something.

If you don't ... you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're full of yourself.

If you don't ... you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache ... she's tired.

If you have a headache ... you don't love her anymore.

If you want it too often ... you're oversexed.

If you don't ... there must be someone else.

Bottom Line: Men die first because they want to!!!!!!!

The point is men REALLY don't pay too mush attention neither to their looks nor to their hygene (?) Is that becouse they want to be reckless or want to get sick of the dirt, or what? They are like monkeys :P

Is that really your experience?? What kind of men are in your social circle?? Time for a change, girl.

Maybe she doesn't want to, because she is like them ;)
