What a woman says:
"This place is a mess!
C'mon, you and I need to clean,
Your stuff is lying on the floor
and you'll have no clothes to wear
if we don't do laundry right now!"

What a man hears:
"blah, blah, blah, blah, C'MON
blah, blah, blah, blah, YOU AND I
blah, blah, blah, blah, ON THE FLOOR
blah, blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES
blah, blah, blah, blah, RIGHT NOW"


Allegedly, men can't multi-task either, so walking, talking and following directions

I'm usually good at following directions, but as Bruno said, sometimes you can't hear what's being said properly, because of traffic noise or whatever, and you can misunderstand the directions being given.

Not true, I give excellent directions, down to the meter, the problem is in Ireland, they don't listen, don't read street names, and don't look at land marks. They all think they have the navigational capacity of a homing pigeon, which they don't.
For the love of god, how difficult is it to turn right at the corner and walk to the end of the street?

Some of them do tell me........"i thought i should go left" even if i say right so i've realised that men's biggest problem is that they think!Guys,stop thinking,just listen lol

Ah yes, how well words and interpretations of them travel on the old interweb. I am very chilled, didn't want to go down the old sweetums lane though, in case it was mistaken for this:



How is the wine, chilled I assume.

Always. How is the cold? Enveloping I presume

Sample of recent exchange..

Go to the main street in *****. Park outside the (well known shop) and call me.

Half hour later....no client. Call, no answer. One hour later than planned, call from client. I am here. Well done you. Ok, walk across street and walk up clearly marked avenue. Call when you reach square. 15 mins later, ok, I am at shop now, where do I go? WTF? Ok, repeat. Five mins later, ok, I am in square. Ok, go here, press buzzer. Ten mins later. What number? Grrr. Let clients in after giving floor. Ten minutes later, call, which floor? You get the idea....

Why not text or just give the address?
I've parked my car in a similar situation only to be given the most ridiculous directions where I could have parked my car about a mile closer.

Although I accept your directions I expect are of a far higher standard.

If you regularly have trouble with clients getting lost, I sugest you go out and follow your own directions, word for word and see where you end up. Also imagine you are driving/walking ect.

We can't just text the directions to everybody ,is important to hear the person on the phone,for safety reasons.

La la la la la.

I travel throughout Ireland with a sat nav and my brain. I expect equal intelligence, how do we think ladies find their apartments, tardis?

Short of drawing a line with a drawing of stick figures fucking and my name under it to give guidance; I can't for the life of me figure out why men can't follow directions? I have asked ladies this now I am asking men. Why can't men follow directions?

boobies and ass..lol
