"Anyhow, the male brain attaches less personal identity to the inside of a home and more to the workplace or the yard -- which is why he doesn't get worked up about housework."

But he can still see when one of his millions of CDs is out of place. Funny, innit?

"Gurian, [...] is no anti-feminist. He is married with two daughters,"

This is a very weak argument, surely it'd be better if it specified that he also had several sons, but killed them at an early age for not being daughters.

If my wife ever gets a hold of whats inside my head, I'll be divorced in a day.

This dude is just trying to be the new John Gray, or whoever the author of that "Men are from Mars, Women are for Venus" book was (which I hated for trying to simplify an astro-metaphor anyway.) It's just that his book has X-rays! Wow! Put down that Cosmo Issue w/ the article "Guide to What your Man is Thinking [And How to Get Him Aroused for Hot Monkey Sex While You Wear These Cheap Fall Fashions]" and pick up this SCIENCE BOOK for the SCIENCE ANSWERS to your questions

For serious, I think dude just watched a Lifetime movie and wrote it up as science. "Then, when the man leaves to become more of a workaholic to prove his worth, the misunderstanding woman cries into her coffee, then he gets so pissed off that he beats her and then she has to set the bed on fire and have an affair with the cabana boy, this is all very much explained by PET scans."

So while women find emotional conversations a good way to chill out at the end of the day, the tired male brain needs to zone out all that touchy-feely chatter in order to relax -- which is why he wants the remote control to zap through "mindless" sport or action movies.

This needed explaining? Hell, I figured all that out after hanging with most of the males I know. The journo obviously lacked anything else to write about, since his female collegues were already doing the sports page.

according to this fellow I'm a man. :(

Join the club, T: I must be one too, only with more perky bits.

Does this mean I'm a guy? I could care less about housework.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

If Dan wasn't around to clean up once in a while, I shudder to think what our apartment would look like.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Hehehe Mr. Millar once got annoyed enough with my flat that he vacuumed the floor himself.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Twas it squeaky clean after?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

No. Lazy ass boyfriend.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys are the secret neat freaks. You slobs. (Millar lets down the side.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:31 (twenty-two years ago)

what if you "attach[] [more] personal identity" to the inside of a home but still fail to "get worked up about housework"? don't answer that.

Hard to notice neatness underneath the many pizza boxes and beer cans stuffed under the couch.

(Oh, and check your email when you have a sec...)
