Hmmmmmm, all I can say is that I am soooo glad that I have what seems to be an atypical hubby!!
me too, BF in my case. Here's his response to this thread [

]:
"Actually I don#%92t like this kind of discourse – it tends to promote stereotypes. But I will digress. A couple of my favorites are:
1. When you ask a guy what he#%92s thinking and he says “nothing” – he really means he#%92s not thinking of anything!
2. Men tend to like to problem-solve by nature – if there#%92s a problem to be solved, a man#%92s ability to listen to detail goes way up.
3. Men tend to be rational, not emotional. Rational thought nukes emotional stress.
4. Farting and burping are important and should never be frowned upon.
The second list below is horrible [his response to dumdog's list, lol, dumdog, I thought your list was funnier than he did]:
1. I know several guys who bake.
2. Women don#%92t hover around me when I#%92m on the phone – I#%92ve never known one that did.
3. Women don#%92t ask for that many more details than men. And men are not auto mechanics by gender-default.
4. Only telling you [that someone called] to let you know they#%92re “still alive”? Is this guy cold or what?
5. I#%92ve never been hired out to fix other people#%92s stuff – few men I know have.
6. This guy has a problem with killing insects?
7. What#%92s wrong with liking each other#%92s friends?
8 Women#%92s fantasies aren#%92t usually boring.
9. Cars again?
10. More cars ... what#%92s with the fixation on cars? Not all men are into cars – in fact in my circle of friends and biz associates (VP, CEOs, CTOs, etc.) I don#%92t know any of them that are into cars. Is this guy a mechanic or something?
11. Absurd. [sleeping on side of bed by door]
12. Right on – but I think most women agree with this. [your time, my time and our time.]
13. A fair point, but men will use the toilet seat in an up or down position depending on the need. Women only need it down. So women get the nudge here.
14. Right on – don#%92t get worked up about coupons.
15. Everybody “looks”; most people don#%92t like the same things they did when they were 18. Yikes."
