1. We got off the Titanic first.
2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.
3. Taxis stop for us.
4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.
5. No fashion faux pas we make, could ever rival the Speedo.
6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.
7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.
8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.
9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.
10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.
11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.
12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.
13. We will never regret piercing our ears.
14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems..
15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Offer to do it on your husband's behalf. Then you might start to get it :D

Very funny JJ:D Actually, I don't think he is guilty of this one... well at least not to the extent that I've observed in Latin men.
Anyway, I'm extremely happy to be a woman...

#11 has always puzzled me.
It's like, how do you do that? (or not do that as the case might be) :D

See there Mike...Now do you understand!:D :confused: :confused:
The one that I am not certain about is #12. I think both genders have an equal number of these folks. Always looking for something younger to make them feel better about themselves.
Not that there is anything wrong with acting young of course!!;)_

Hobbit, but in general, society accepts these older guys with younger chicks a lot easier than the other way around. Look at Douglas with Zeta-Jones. The guy even had some surgery done to get rid of those wrinkles! But when they started talking about Hollywood females and their 'toy' boys, people were actually saying what a disgrace it was.
It's a man's world still... but we're working on overthrowing you lot... SOON:shades:
Don't ya just love me? :)

# 16. We girls actually know who Douglas and Zeta-Jones are.
And LG, I too think it's about time you girls take over and overthrow us...I need a break. :D

Eli...
Perception is a strange thing. One of the greatest things about the U.S. is that everything has the potential to change. Women in the U.S. have come a long way...no doubt about it. But remember, this has happened only recently (historically speaking). The U.S. was mostly a patriarchal society early on. It takes many years for those old ways to moderate.
Remember too, that in todays world, women control a very large percentage of the wealth and almost all of the world's power.
Now, about these March/October romances.....It doesn't matter if the man or the woman is older.....both of these scenarios are controlled by the women. Wouldn't you agree?? ;)
It's a man's world still... but we're working on overthrowing you lot... SOON:shades:
Of this, I have no doubt! ;):)

Guys, do you think I'd really want to overthrow you lot? Hell no! I'd have to mow the darn lawn, take the trash out, get the oil changed in the car, lift all those heavy boxes and packages, and as if that wasn't bad enough, take care of the taxes!
No way Jose... I love being a woman. Actually, I was teasing my hubby and telling him that I want things to change where I can stay at home, read magazines, clean the house when I want and just make myself pretty for him when he gets home... He said "hell no":D
Why doesn't he want the good old days back???? I guess he loves my money too:shades:
So now, am I back in ya'lls good books once again? Men are so easily distracted and controlled... gotta love 'em!hahahaha
Good night all.

#12 is Paedophilia given an acceptable face by the addition of 20 years :D

There are lies,
There are damned lies,
and then there are statistics.
To what do you allude bearing in mind that this could mean war? :D

Alright Jeremy, it looks mighty suspicious that you edited your post a half day afterwards, but only 3 minutes after being accused of the cardinal sin of misspelling. I think any jury in the land would convict you of such a heinous crime. Heck, forget the jury. Get a rope! :D

Actually it was bad typing, removing an extraneous e in acceptable. And stop paying so much attention, that's cheating :D

Thanks Tom,
I knew it was a typing error, but had bust his chops anyway.:D
Jeremy is a walking dictionary, its hard to catch him.:D :D

Well then Jeremy, with the amount of correctly typed words you produce, your backspace key must be worn about through. :D
