The Difference between Him and Her
The below excerpt can be found all over the internet by an unknown author. Therefore, I cannot take claim for the brilliance of it, but it sure as hell is genius and it is a MUST for you all to read:
The difference between men and women…
Her Diary:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, ‘Nothing’. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too. ‘When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep – I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else…
My life is a disaster!
His Diary:
Boat wouldn’t start, can’t figure it out, at least I got laid.
So the moral here is: He has a penis, and you have a vagina. He’s not you. He never will be. He doesn’t think like you. He never will. The End.
BE SMART and accept it.

Love it – what a brilliant illustration.
If a man says nothing is wrong – he means it.
We sure do overthink.
Fabulous! May I remember this next time
Carin – you are the best! I love all your posts!
The diary part was funny and had truths, but the illustration is offensive and rather ridiculous. Perhaps the average male in so Cal can be reduced to such silly summaries but many, many men enjoy their penises yet think and feel just as much from the heart and head as women. Men and women are not from two different planets and you have a pattern at times of grossly exaggerating the gender differences in a way that is neither accurate nor helpful for couples seeking a more soulful, mature union with more genuine mutual respect AND depth.
