Men are myopic. Women are from Kaleafornia

She reads books about how to deal with feelings and inner conflict.

He reads books on how to fix things and make powerful presentations.

She just wants a spa day getaway to get a facial and pedicure.

He wants just three hours to himself to watch the game uninterrupted.

 

She wants the automatic transmission and the pearl white paint.

He wants the manual 5-speed and matte black finish.

 

The good Lord simply made us different didn’t He….or She?

 

Men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome while women have two copies of the X chromosome. And wouldn’t ya know, the X chromosome carries a bigger instruction manual. Imagine that. And since women have two of them, well, you’re gonna need a bigger instruction manual as well.

 

While we can’t agree on most things, what we can agree on is that we’re better off with one another than without. But how do we, as James Ingram sang it, “make the magic last for more than just one night?”

 

So, for just once, I’m gonna figure out what we’ve been doing wrong.

The Guys

(A) We’re myopic. In fact, you might say we have a one-track mind. It can be downright primal at times. It’s that whole silly “survival of the species” embedded into our DNA I suppose. Pesky, isn’t it? Always getting in the way of what’s really important. Well, we didn’t invent yoga pants, you did, and that really didn’t help at all.

 

(2) We’re not the best conversationalists. Nobody will mistake us for Oprah on a couch that’s for sure. We follow the (Noun-verb- adjective-Noun) format, again from the Cro-Magnon days. “You make pretty woman for me….I hunt delicious animal” and that’s about as far as we go. I can be fairly sure that superlatives, antecedents and reciprocal pronouns were most likely invented by females. The disjunct, (a type of adverbial adjunct that expresses information that is not considered essential to the sentence it appears in) definitely was.

CavemenWorld is the Internet’s leading resource for Paleo lifestyle information. Nobody knew better how to survive the trials of living than the cavemen. Our Articles and Insights cover the entire gamut of human endeavors from a Stone Age perspective, showing you how to Eat, Move, Explore and Thrive like our cave-dwelling ancestors did, so that you can be just as healthy, strong and full of life as they were.

 

(D) We can be unorganized, perhaps even lacking the attention to detail which you require to exist. You know, when the throw pillows don’t accent the couch just right…the important stuff in life. We have to take some of the blame here guys. We invented plumbing centuries ago, but never thought to make pipes big enough for certain things? Sure, she sheds like German shepherd in the summer leaving fuzzy clumps that could be mistaken for small animals, but it’s always our beard trimming that seem to clog the sink.

 

Now for the LADIES:

 

(1) Your attention to hygiene can be a little over the top. A scrub is somebody who doesn’t live up to his draft position, not a hygiene product. It’s called soap. And it contains…you guessed it, soap. We don’t need avocado and sugar to get our faces and armpits clean. That’s food. And what’s Jojoba? I must’ve heard it a thousand times and still have no idea what it is. All this time I thought it was Cerrano’s voodoo statue from Major League.cerrano1

 

(2) We may be, as my wife calls it, “blissfully unaware”. She claims to be aware of all things at all times. “Like how many diapers are in the diaper bag” I asked? “No” she said, “like if your kids have food to eat that day.” Oh, yea, whoops. I guess this goes back to that DNA. If we got hungry in the dinosaur days, we killed something and ate it, we didn’t have to make reservations two days in advance. But now I have to know how many slices of bread are left in the loaf on any given morning, if there is toilet paper on the rack or when the recycle truck comes? Seems a bit OCD to me.

01-the-rise-of-bitter-foods

(3) This obsession with kale. What gives? A big kale salad. Baked kale snacks. A spinach and kale smoothie. Changing the name of our 31st state to Kaleafornia? When does it stop? A good friend of mine coined the hardy cabbage “your colon’s toothbrush” a name I certainly consider befitting. Last time I gave it a go it cleaned me out faster than a Jimmy Choo sale on Hautelook. I feel kale is like Hillary Clinton’s conscience, nobody even knew it existed until just recently and now it seems we will be forced to swallow it everywhere we turn. BARF!

 

So there ya have it. The differences in the sexes, easily dissected. Enjoy them while they are still around.

  • Rachel Sump outbenched me in 9th grade I got pinnedhellip
    1 month ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking Rachel Sump outbenched me in 9th grade. I got pinned under 95 pounds. As she walked by and watched, she stopped and said “Can I try?” So she did and she was successful. How's that for a young man's ego? I still remember the name and place as if it was yesterday. But wait, it gets better. For most of my adolescence, my sister affectionately referred to me as “bird chest” while my friends labeled me E.T. due to my giant head and long skinny neck. Any wonder why I became obsessed with weight lifting? I did so may shrugs…
  • What story is your face telling the world? It trulyhellip
    1 month ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking What story is your face telling the world? It truly is your canvas of expression, more so than you may think. Dr. Albert Mehrabian, author of Silent Messages, conducted several studies on nonverbal communication and concluded that 55% of our messages are received via nonverbal elements with facial expressions accounting for a large part of that. Hey, they don’t call it Footbook right? But I encourage you to do your own experiment and think of a person who you know that makes great expressions. Chances are they’re memorable (obviously if you thought of them) and chances are they are leaders…

  • The thing I love about the body most is thathellip
    1 month ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking The thing I love about the body most is that we have the absolute power to shape it and we take it with us everywhere we go. Treat it right and it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Doctor Kenneth Cooper, the Air Force Colonel who is known as ‘The Father of Aerobics’ says “The reason I exercise is for the quality of life I can enjoy.” And isn’t that so true? Those who find exercise painful or unenjoyable should be aware that real pain and discomfort eventually comes from a life of inactivity and poor food choices. The body…
  • Ive learned more from reading books in the last threehellip
    1 month ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking I’ve learned more from reading books in the last three years of my self development journey than I did via four years of a university setting. To read a book is one thing, to comprehend its principles and utilize its gifts is another. I see way too many people consuming and consuming but never putting it into action. This is a travesty! We must adhere to the point which Henry David Thoreau made; “A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by…

The one you heard 4. The one your audience heard 5. The one who hired you heard "And they are never the same" I said "Wow, ain't the the truth." The fact is, your talk will never be perfect. It's all dependent on who is hearing it and how they interpret it. All we can do is give it our best and be happy with the experience it gives us…

    2 months ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking Pangolins are among the most trafficked animals in the world and are currently on the critically endangered list. Over one million of them are killed every year for their meat and scales. Until yesterday, I didn't even know this mammal existed. That's when I saw an interesting video highlighting the efforts of photographer Adrian Steirn and his mission to bring awareness to their plight. He travelled to Zimbabwe to record the men of the The Tikki Hywood Trust. These men are assigned with one pangolin each and spend 24 hours a day rehabilitating and walking them so that they can…
  • Who doesnt want success? Its fun to dream about ithellip
    2 months ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking Who doesn't want success? It's fun to dream about it and talk about it, but have you ever found yourself shaking your head, asking why somebody else is achieving when you're not? I have. And my answer is always this: Is the work being done on your part David or are you're waiting for Devine intervention? More than just a paycheck, it seems these days that people are looking for that spiritual connection that ties their work/job to their mission in life. It's an admirable goal and I believe you can find God's purpose for you...but you must take action.…

    2 months ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking There is something special in the air on Sundays. It's one of those days, as a child, I knew the family would be together. Wherever you are on this Sunday, I hope the day finds you able to rest, rejuvenate your body and mind and rejoice in the gifts your creator has given you.

    2 months ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking "The goal - at least the way I think about entrepreneurship - is you realize one day that you can't really work for anyone else. You have to start your own thing. It almost doesn't matter what the thing is. We had six different business plan changes, and then the last one was Pay Pal" -Max Levchin Here are some reasons why you should be your own boss Source (pickthebrain.com) 1. You’re in Charge of Your Income. This can be seen as a pro or a con at first, but eventually the sky will be the limit as you develop…

    2 months ago by davidnorrie.sociallyspeaking “I desperately want to be coached.” Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers I think sometimes we're all guilty of assuming those who "make it big" are simply uber talented and coast through life, but it seems to me, as I study, it's more about desire and application, desire and application.... We must embrace constructive criticism. It's the only way to grow. Having "yes" people around you, the type that always say "that was good" or more importantly those who are afraid to say "that was awful" really does us no good. We need truth-tellers in our lives.
