    You mean, "He needs to quickly agree with the intent of my question..."

    The intent was yes or no. Make a decision.

    I always thought it was women who had the problem with decision making. Also I've noted men and women communicate differently. Women read between the lines as a common communication technique. Its seems men don't do this as much. Men take things at face value (Unless they really want something badly). So if a women expects a guy to read between the line and make a decision based off of it then it won't happen. Also if a guy can delegate he will.

    NO

    See now that wasn't very hard was it? What was the question? Was there a question? Of course I was paying close attention to the thre .... did you know the Bristol night race is this weekend? Wow, I've got to stock up on some snacks.

    YES

    Corn nuts are a definite go! No diet soft drinks. Extra hot wings and no anchovies (can be used as bass bait and you shouldn't eat bait) on the pizza.

    Saggy, men folk can be very decisive.

    I think you're right on this one. By far, I'm usually the one waiting (dare say procrastinating) to make a decision, but it usually is to keep my options open because I'm not positive which way to go on an issue. Actually, sometimes that has served us well because the delayed decision ends up being much better than what the earlier choice was going to be. But... have to admit, sometimes it drives the Mrs. crazy.

    Saggy, I have to say that I find men more decisive than women - much more so.

    I also agree that men and women communicate differently, and this can be very problematic. Men tend to want you to come out and say stuff, while women tend to want people to sense the issues and sympathize. Men are not that sympathetic or at least have a hard time showing it - I think they have to learn to be this way.

    Well, the experience I have seen with men towards women in general is that if men wish to avoid an argument or unnecessary drama, they will learn from trial and error.

    I have seen funny incidences ( although not so funny from that guy's point of view) where the woman ask the man for his opinion of which is better, the man decides, and quickly, the woman chooses the other. I would think that after awhile, that kind of indirect put down is just cause for why they are annoying because the women are being more annoying and don't even know it. That kind of put down is like being disrespectful. If the man wishes to avoid being made angry towards the woman he loves, he will "play" the game of being the annoyer. It is far better than becoming angry.

    If you're referring to male interaction with women, there's a reason for that. Female communication tends to be rather complex. A wise man will learn to hold his tongue, process the information, and then give a response. It would also help if the man learns how to read the woman's mind, so he can know what answer it is she wants to hear. :)

    I hope you're not asking him one of those loaded questions like in the following scenario: You're watching a Miss America pagent on TV, with your husband. You notice he's watching very intently. Then you ask the question, "Do you think she's prettier than me?"

    It doesn't matter how you answer it. You're going to give the wrong answer everytime. If you say "yes", you just hurt your wife's feelings. If you say "no", whether you are being truthful or just trying to make her feel pretty, she'll call you a liar (in most cases).

    How is a man supposed to answer a question like that, knowing no matter what answer he gives it will always be wrong?

    Then there's the other question, "Do you think I'm fat?" Me being a fat guy, I know that I'm fat. I don't need to ask for someone else's opinion. I know how I would respond to that question. First off, if I don't think she's fat, I'll tell her. If she is, I'll be truthful about it. I would say something corny like: "I don't see you as being fat, I just see it as being more of you to love."

    Ah Saggy, I think you just have a hard headed one because all men are not like that. As someone who was raised with all brothers, I'd rather work with men any day because you usually know upfront where they stand. Women, on the other hand, will be nice to your face then go backstab you later AND they hold grudges for 100 years. Men are much more forgetful and just get over it.

    If he can't make a decision, maybe he wants you to make it for him so he doesn't get into trouble for the results later.

    PS I'm a woman and I approve of this message!

    Yeah, but it was Eve that took the first bite & got Adam to take the second bite.

    But regardless, sin is sin. Adam should have resisted.

    Saggy, I'll be happy to tell you why we're so annoying just as soon as you tell me what it is about a woman that makes her insane. :)

    I think that women tend to be more emotional, which is okay. But I have seen some women that don't keep their emotions in check. When a man gets angry, its a quick burst & then its overwith. When they get angry, its like a raging storm that doesn't stop. Just when you think they aren't angry at you, then you get hit with her wrath again.

    One thing I have never been able to understand either is why some women will make a comment about something & then say that its okay, when its not okay. I know a lot of women say that most men don't express their emotions properly, but the truth is women are about the same way. They'll just drop hints rather than coming out with it & saying what needs to be said. Maybe someone can clear that up for me.

    Man's first sin was listening to his wife.

    Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
    18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
    19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

    That was it for me, when I saw all the trouble this caused, I made my mind up right then and there to never repeat Adam's sin. :laugh:
