Woman: What do you want to eat tonight?

Translation: We are eating out tonight because I'm to lazy to fix anything, so pick the type, and I'll tell you what restaurant you are taking me to.

True as well... usually followed up by...

Women: Oh, just pick a place

Translation: I'm not going to agree to anyplace YOU pick, and in the end, we are going where I want to go, because I already have it picked out and our reservation is for 8 PM.

Azazel, Whaaaaaat? It IS! Listen, this is your problem, you don't understand women. They don't like football. They like small and slow things like animals and flowers. They don't want to go to see 'Monster Truck Madness 2003, sponsored by.. FREE BEER!'.. They don't like things that are loud or messy. I'm loud and messy, but I'm exception.

Most definitely! Look, it's simple. You have a gf, so you can't understand women. Me, however.. I understand them perfectly, and that's why I don't have a gf. ALL the experts are always single.. relationship experts that is. So.. I'm expert. I'm sorry that you are wrong Azazel, don't let this bother you so much.. I know you feel betrayed.

I gave up my ability to be "right" even before I got married.

Women: I can see your point

What a freakin' idiot

Women: You are so smart

You are dumb enough to marry me

Women: You are Right

Warning: she was not born a women and most likely an alien attempting to steal your sperm!

--

Women can even give credit where credit is due (so they sure can charge on credit )

Women: Wow, good job, a see you did a lot of work today

What a baby, needs a rub on the tummy or pat on the head everytime he lifts a finger or goes to the bathroom.

Women: You can't live with them, and...

True enough... but the day you get married, it's official

Well I second the question, what about "I don't want to ruin our friendship?"

Does that always mean the same thing?

See, you don't understand women. The correct response is not to pick a place, but with the question, "What do you have in mind?"

Unfortunatly for you guys.........yes. That means there is no chance that it's going to happen.

And Urban is right, when faced with the question of where to go always, always, always, throw it back to the girl and let her choose or else you will always be on the loosing end of the stick.

It's a way of saying "no" without bruising your ego.

Feminists of the Andrea Dworkin stripe would blame this on our culture of rape that makes women feel the need to go easy on the old male ego lest they get beaten.

I've managed to turn the tide! I let her choose, and then *I* get to ***** and moan and make her life miserable.

Gentlemen, the sooner you can resign yourself of losing the vanity of "opinions", the happier your love life will be.

Actually, the idea that men lose all decision making ability is not true... what we do get (if we're smart) is a highly developed sense of when to pick our battles.

What if they went out with you for about a week and a half, and then said they didn't want to hurt the friendship? And what if there were a number of other factors (that I don't particularly feel like getting into) that would make a relationship rather unstable and uncomfortable, but that were theoretically temporary?
