The Sense of A Woman |
||
- Bhupendra Kainthola |
||
| Whoever said, men
are from Mars and women from Venus, wasn't entirely off the mark. Men are
different from women, we know. But can you tell ? It's easy if you are a keen observer. First thing in the morning. The toothpaste. Women squeeze it from the top, men from the bottom. Is that why bottom-pinching comes easily to some men ! The apron. Women tend to tie the bow behind the back, men in front. The match stick. A woman strikes it away from her and a man towards himself. Psychologists say women, generally, are more fearful of burns. There are other amazing things about the fair sex. A woman doesn't begin looking for her keys until she reaches the door. A man has his keys out before he gets to the front gate. Ever noticed, in restaurants, a woman gently dabs her mouth with a table napkin while a man tends to wipe his lips with the napkin. Ever seen a woman throw a stone? She stands on tiptoe throwing stiff-armed from the shoulder. A man throws from the wrist with his arm out to the side. Women who smoke tend to leave a longer stub -- men puff a cigarette as far as it goes. In gambling, women stop after a modest win - men go for the kill and often end up losing more. More women use zebra crossings. Men are more frequent jay walkers. In a relationship, a man goes for a woman's beauty before selecting her as a mate. A woman is usually satisfied with other qualities. This is why you often see ordinary looking successful men with knock-out-looking wives. A woman's love is total , a man's is skin-deep. Writer Mark Twain's hero, Tom Swayer once dressed up as a girl for a prank. He tried to fool a woman he met. She found him out by throwing a cabbage into his lap. He gave himself away by catching it clapping his legs together-- a girl throws her knee apart to catch it in her skirt. Got it ? Women do it their way. Differently. So better not ask why can't a woman be more like a man. |
