10. Which is probably why I'm still single.
Men just want the sex, and women get confused when they meet a man who wants a reltionship. :P

13. It's more likely to be
your intense modesty and low self-esteem. Always a turn off. Women prefer a guy who's confident.

14. Nah, it's actually 'cause I'm too damn picky and/or anti-social.
There are very few people I'm actually interested in. Because most people just don't interest me period.

18. Yeah, you don't get as many awkward questions, like
"What are you doing to my leg?"
"Why are you humping my leg?"
"Why won't you stop humping me?"
"Why won't you leave me alone, you weirdo!"
"Why isn't my cel phone working? I need to call the police!"

It just gets old after a while. You just don't have that problem with animals.

20. Or
"When are we gonna get married?"
"Do you want children? I do. Now."
"Have you ever even heard of the clitoris?"

21. That last one's never been a problem for me.
I did my research before I ever had sex.

Err... okay, so I just watched a lot of porn. I'm part of the internet generation, what can I say? :P

12. i forgot to to say that men *can* think in serial; women *can* think in parallel
it's just speaking about abilities rather than what one actually does.

19. that's not a men/women thing, directions are an east coast/west coast thing
on the East Coast, all my directions were based on landmarks --and STUPID ones.

I was trying to get to Cape May, New Jersey from the South Jersey suburbs and got these directions:
go 9 signal lights after the freeway (yes, 9! :wtf: :banghead: wait, was that the 5th or 6th light??!!) oh and then make a left at a place called "Dannie's", then go 3 trees past the firehouse.

for the return trip just reverse the directions, of course, different number of lights going the other way, the "Dannie's" sign only faces one direction of the highway (got a trip to the Atlantic Ocean thanks to that one).

out here, you turn at streets with "names", you go to address "numbers", you take freeways to "exits". :think:

And see the same thing from many different angles.

26. Pfft. I think in the complex number plane, in radial geometry in a space of
non-sequential parabolic hyperbolas separated by elliptical vectors in 8/17 fractal dimension.

30. I prefer to concentrate on one thing at a time
I know someone, for example, who uses the internet and watches more than one television at a time. I'd never choose to do that. It even annoys me intensely when I visit someone, who has the television on, and expects to have a full blown conversation that has nothing to do with what is on television at the time.
I do seem to think in webs better than most people, male or female, that I know though. It is easy for me to compare and draw relationships between things.

32. Some are scanners, some are divers......
Scanners focus on a bit of lots of things, divers go deeper and deeper into one thing.
