Okay, Mudwomenz... '07 was a year in which you all repeatedly implied that we men didn't know jack from jack so here is yer brain teaser for '08:

If a man were to admit that he was wrong, would that make the man right????

Have at it ladies...

Bobertz, we ain't implied nothin' of the sort. Men often know Jack from Jack. They just have trouble sometimes knowing Jill from Jill.

If a man said to me, "You're right, I'm wrong," I would consider it a passive aggressive comment intended to shut me up and end the conversation. Nobody would win. He would walk away; smugly thinking he was smart for ending a discussion he couldn't win and I would feel angry and resentful at being patronized.

If a man were alone in the middle of a big deep forest, where nobody else could hear him, and he expressed an opinion.
Would he still be wrong?

In my experience, a man who is alone in the middle of a big deep forest where no-one can hear him is there because he failed to ask for or follow properly the directions.

Bobert's initial assumption, that all men are always wrong, is fallacious. Men are not always wrong. They're simply never right.

Bobert my love - you shouldn't use generalisations in this way. Not all womenz are quite as didactic as you suggest.

I sometimes allow the Cap'n to be right - it gives him so much pleasure that it's worth the sacrifice.

Ha! Bobert, I am going to pretend to be a Mudwomanz, just so I can answer the question you pose...

"If a man were to admit that he was wrong, would that make the man right????"

Yes! The moment he admitted that he'd been wrong, he'd be right. And he'd be forgiven. ;-)

It's my experience that the man firmly believes he's right even when he isn't, and no amount of reasoning from a woman will change his mind. It'll just put his back up and he'll say things like "Why do you always have to argue?" and "Oh, yeah, you're always right!"

Weeks or months later, they will come in and say "Did you know I was wrong about ___? So-and-so told me." So-andso is always another man, and the man you argued with will never remember that you told him he was wrong - just that you're always arguing: poor him.

There, that's my stereotyping contribution to this thread!

In my experience, a man who is alone in the middle of a big deep forest where no-one can hear him is there because he wants to be there. My camp sits on a riverbank, nestled among tall pines and cedars, surrounded by wildlife, and the nearest payphone, including cell service, is six miles away. And, if I feel like it, that payphone was out of order when I tried to call. Can't argue with that.

It could also be because he took directions from a woman of course, but I wouldn't dare say a thing like that out loud.

Yeah, following "girly" directions can be mind-bending. VEry careful, and precise they are, but only if you know the code.

"Follow this road until it gets a little bit built-up and then turn left. Go along the windy road until you feel like you have gone too far and then go a little further, and there will be a sort of pinkish building and lots of flowers, mostly blue with some red ones here and there--really pretty... Turn right onto a road that you think is too small to be the right one, but keep going because it really is, and go a long way, and you'll see the place on the right next to the tall grass...a white house, that looks like it should be a little longer and maybe would be better beige...You can't miss it!"

I gotta tell ya, thank god for Google Maps.

Ha! Well, those directions sound okay to me, Amos. Yeah, I think I could handle that. Very organic. ;-)

I had a friend (male) who used to give directions sort of like that, only more drawn out and with way more specific technical details to look out for. He would provide so many of those details that your brain would just overload after awhile. I had to tell him, "Look, just tell me what street it's on, the street number, and what major intersection it is nearest to. I'll find it."

Hey farmer! You been livin' here all your life?
Not yet.

Hey farmer! Where does this road go?
Been livin' here all my life, it ain't gone nowhere yet.

Hey farmer! How do you get to Little Rock?
Listen stranger, you can't get there from here.

Hey farmer! Thought you said that mud-hole weren't very deep?
Only comes up to here on me ducks.

Hey farmer! When you gonna fix that leakin' roof?
Ah stranger, when it's a rainin' it's too wet to fix it and when it's dry it's just as good as any mans house.

Hey farmer! You're not too far from a fool are you?
Just a barbed-wire fence between us.

Hey farmer! You don't know very much do you?
No, but I ain't lost.

You'll be tellin' the Devil that you "thought his fiddle was the better of the two" when Johnny went up against the Devil in the fiddle contest...

So, that be my advice, ol' Buddy... I'd hate to see the taillioghts on the bus as they dragged yer butt off ot Hell... I'd be cryin' and carryin' on... I'd be a'prayin' fir yer soul... I'd be beggin' the Big Guy to have the bus break down just a few miles outta town...
