When My Mind Is Idle

A quirky question I was thinking about the other day.

If there is one common trait that all women share, what would it be?

And no, the answer "their anatomy" didn't cross my mind.

Any feedback to this? Of course, if you are a woman, you are more than invited to give a common trait that all men share (which in my humble opinion, shouldn't be all that hard. Women have a lot to say on men, don't they?)

you naughty boy! tak baik tuduh perempuan camtu tau, well at least i'm the good one.

what's wrong hiyoshi? sibuk fikir nak dapat title datuk juga ke?

DITH dah bagi title pada Dato P. Then Dato M. Cukup haul nanti dapat lah Dato H. ok? Diharap bersabar.

Why do I get the feeling that this short, idle entry of yours Hiyoshi is going to stir up the hornets nest???

dith said...

This is definitely not the thought of an idle mind!

Anyway, that common trait I would say is having abundance of empathy which I think lacks in most men!

As for men. It's their self-centered-ness!

Women-1 Men-0

:p

all man love the beauty of God's creation and they have no hesitation to express and share their thoughts.

Women... selfish, claim all for them alone.

(boogey tentu suka bab ni)

women 1 men 2

Men are obnoxious prigs who think they rule the world when a matter of fact, it's always the women behind them who do the real 'thinking'!!

Women 2 Men 2(?)

I wasn't throwing any accusations whatsoever. It was just a straight forward question. However, if it has caused any uneasy feelings amongst the readers, I apologise.

By the way, I wasn't thinking about any titleship. I'm happy enough with the title MS that I'm currently holding :)


pycnogenol

Guess you were right about the hornet's nest.

DITH

Really? What counts as the thought of an idle mind then?

mynn

Your comment brought back to memory this joke which I heard a few months back -

"Men will pay 2 dollars for a 1 dollar thing that they need. Women will pay 1 dollar for a 2 dollar thing that they don't need".

Err...hope I didn't sound as if I was taking sides or anything.

malim deman

That certainly is a strong statement to be issued against a woman.

DITH again

And that is an equally strong statement to be issued to a man.

Headbutter pycnogenol

Poor Materrazzi.

mama sarah somemore

Alamak, didn't know that the discussion would come to this. If I had known it would go to this extent, I'd have posed this question much, much earlier.

malim deman

I think rice is okay. I think all Malays(ians) like rice. Especially when taken with ulam and sambal belacan, Nyam nyam.

ingat tak lahu yang saya dendangkan "kita serupa, kita serupa"?

tapi sebenarnya tak serupa. mana boleh serupa.

ayumi said...

Salaam..

If I have to answer... the answer is...

ESP? Hahaha... I read somewhere that women can understand each other by a nod or an unfinished sentence....

Jamil said...

All

This is getting more interesting by the comment. But I do notice that on the female side, we have only DITH...where are the others?

ayumi

Really? Do women have that ability? Is it any similar to the ability of men who can understand what the other is trying to say, only by a small grunt of snort?

hehe.. as long as you have the word 'all' in your question (for both men and women), I really do not know what to answer ;)

Just my personal opinion though, there's simply none of any known human characteristics that apply only to a specific gender. Maybe to make a general statement yes, but usually even this will bring on the 'gender wars' << ni siapa yang cipta dulu ni pun I haven't the faintest idea.
