Getting Ready to Go Somewhere; Men .vs Women

I love Women (especially my lovely, very, very, very understanding wife), but there is a huge difference between how long it takes a guy to get ready, compared to a gal.

Let’s say it’s a dinner for an elderly family member’s birthday. The guy feverishly searches through the mysterious mound at the bottom of the closet of; shirts that don’t fit anymore, MC Hammer pants mchammerpants and two different kinds of flip flops to reveal “The Really Good Shoes”.

Men discovered; The Wheel, Fire, but still can’t remember to put the toilet seat down.

It all started with an Intervention with my fiancĂ©, her top 5 MySpace friends and her tearful Mom trying to explain much of what I thought was cool (a choir of Big Mouth Billy Bass fishes singing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” as people walked into my apartment, building a replica of Disneyland out of empty soda cans, and claiming that I was “going green” because my dog licked my plates clean after dinner, etc), wasn’t.

So, welcome to my blog, and I hope I can help other men not be as dumb, and do my best to help women not sigh and shake their heads at men (so much).
