He finished it off with the greatest of all truisms...it drives women absolutely crazy to see a man doing nothing. Like we really
need to emulate their pathology....
Funny true story that illustrates the point: When my father-in-law was living with us the last few years of his life, I would often make meals for he and I, because we liked the same "guy food". On day we were eating some man sized burgers for lunch, you know the kind you wear as much as you eat? As we were sitting at the kitchen counter thoroughly enjoying ourselves, my wife was racing back and forth by us. From the bedroom with the laundry to the laundry room. From the laundry room back to the bedroom. Back to the laundry room again with more laundry that she could have carried with her on one of the previous 5-trips. The whole time she was projecting that, I'm busy and so the whole world should be - especially you two, attitude (all the married guys are knowingly nodding their heads). Doesn't matter that I had already done twice the work she had in half the time and was finished with
my chores for the day, but that's another idiosyncrasy for another discussion.
As the clip-clop sound of her shoes on the tile floor passed us by for about the twentieth time, I said to her father;
"Lou, she's going crazy again." Lou just shook his head and replied,
"She's been like this since she was a little girl."
Wiring...it's all in the wiring. Or to use an anology we can all understand: Men and women are like two different humbucking pickups. While we're wired tightly, uniformly, and logically, they're scatter wound in a random, unorganized pattern. Funny thing is, both end up making some beautiful music in their own way...
