You can't really expect women to understand men. As I've written before, it's man's job to change, to adjust and try to figure out how to get along with women. There is something about women that prevents them from really understanding men.
For example, today I told my wife I had to go to the store to get some beer. She said, "What do you need beer for. It's not like you've been home with the kids the past three days."
"No," I said, "But I've been working, and I've had to deal with your mood changes." I smiled. Sometimes you just have to smile so she don't think you're angry. Whether you're angry or not, if she thinks you're angry then you are. Know what I mean?
Anyway, she says, "You're the one who was in a bad mood last night."
"I wasn't in a bad mood last night."
"You got into a fight with me."
See, I never got into a fight with her last night. All I did was sit in the livingroom eating popcorn, and since that violates one of her rules, she called me on it. I said, "It's not one of my rules."
Yet, since I questioned her in any way, I'm arguing.
You know, we're going to have to come up with a definition for angry. What is angry to men? What is angry to women?
Angry: Feeling or showing anger or strong resentment. Having a menacing aspect; threatening.
That's what dictionary.com says. That's what men believe the definition of anger is. And that's what men expect women to think the definition of anger is. Yet, don't be fooled. Not realizing what women determine as anger can get you in trouble. Yes, as I've written many times on this blog, we guys need to adjust. We need to read into our women and determine how things are on the planet Venus, as opposed to Mars.
So, on Mars, where women come from, anger is defined like this:
Angry: Providing an awkward look. Showing excitement, either resentment or Passion. Passionate questioning or doubting of a woman by a man.
See, that is why my wife always says Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are angry. Beck is passionate about his cause, and his tone gets serious, and therefore he is angry.
I could be in a good mood, and my wife says, "Why are you eating popcorn in the living room?"
I say, "Because I always eat popcorn in the livingroom."
You are angry in her eyes. It doesn't matter you're relaxed and in the best mood ever. You, in her mind, are angry.
Now, you might have noted that she questioned me, yet that wasn't anger since she was the one who questioned me. Yet, if I would have said, "Honey, you can't eat popcorn in the livingroom!" Then I'm angry.
You see, it's ironic hypocrisy. There, we have
Ironic Hypocrisy: A woman holding a man accountable for his statements, yet not holding herself to the same standard. It's normal for a woman to question a man, but if a man questions a woman, that's unacceptable.
I could go on, but I think you get the point.
