6 things men must understand about women

In these times of misunderstandings and inter-sex wars, the only way our progeny has any chance of survival is if someone from one camp shares secrets with the other camp. Look out for these pointers...

* Tell them they’re PMS-ing
One of the longest-standing jokes I have heard is about PMS:

Q: Why is it called PMS?

A: Because Mad Cow Disease was already taken!

To me this sounds funny ONLY when it is told by another woman. Nevertheless, men need to remember their gf/wife’s once-in-a-month date as relgiously and accurately as women do. If they experience unwarranted irritation from their partner, they must first check their date. If it matches, then they should tick it off as ‘one of the bad days’ and not dwell on it. But they should never, NEVER say it aloud. They will only end up sounding obnoxious and might end up spending the next 3 nights on the couch.

* Keep ‘em waiting

Never keep a woman waiting, especially if its on the road. Men in India will never leave a woman alone irrespective of their dress code. Even if you’re more than 5 minutes late, you will meet with someone who only looks like your wife/gf; inside she has transformed into a female Hulk.

* Go shopping with them

There are so many things wrong with men accompanying women for shopping. Unless its grocery shopping, stay out of it. Make some excuse and just send your card with them. We only ask you to come along so that you can carry the bag and pay for some of the items. Otherwise, men just take up floor space inside shops and aren’t much of a help when it comes to choosing a blouse or a bag. Unless you have a good sense of women’s fashion, this is a complete no-no.

* Letting them drive

Letting your woman drive leads to fights more often than not. This is also because women generally are bad drivers. So don’t let the keys out of sight. You will also be doing your brethren a favour by keeping the women off the roads.

* Tell them they’re fat

…if they really are fat. Women want men to be honest to them in every way, especially when they ask you if they’re looking fat.

 * Admire other women

Women hate it when their men admire other women, especially in front of them. If you have to, make sure that its in an objective, academic sort of way.
