Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.

Well, boys are made out of frogs, snails, and puppy-dog tails.

Girls are made out of sugar, spice, everything nice, and Chemical-X.

Homosexuals are the result of adding pepper to either recipie. Not sure why.

Women make great sandwiches.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum"

Men are manly.

Also sex-filled little gits who can't keep it in their trousers without elastic.

Men are supposed to be knowledgeable about cars, football (and american football too) and other sports, electronics and economics.

Women are supposed to be knowledgeable about fashion, cookery, medicine, education and children. Neither sex is supposed to be knowledgeable about the internal logic behind the actions of the other.

Men supposedly perceive colours differently and on average can discern a significantly lower number of colours when compared to women. Then again, it MIGHT be a feminist conspiracy. No objective way to test either version.

Videogames do not make you a worse person... Than you already are.

Men are active, women are passive Men like carpentry, women like fashion Men are emotionally repressed, women discuss their feelings Men don't talk in the restroom, women do (and the line for the ladies' room is much longer) Men enjoy action films, women enjoy emotional dramas Men are chefs, women are cooks Men do handyman-like work around the house, women cook and clean Men are breadwinners, women are homemakers Men are doctors, women are nurses Men are executives, women are secretaries Women can be cops, but men are the chiefs Men are soldiers, women stay behind Men like black, women like pink

♭What.

Oh, and here's an anectdotal fact: The vast majority of women enjoy shopping much more than the vast majority of males.

Not all, but many.

I don't care what the Feminists say, this is true, it doesn't matter why, but it is. I don't care whether it is or not, but in my observation it is immutable fact.

Similarly, women use more varied and specific color terms. For instance, the background of this site isn't white, it's eggshell. *

A man who uses any color term besides black, white, brown and the ROYGBIV spectrum must be gay.

We must remember that men and women both like shopping but certain kinds. Men like hardware stores, electronic stores, and sports stores. Women like clothing and jewelry. We also like chocolate and will drape ourselves over the nearest man like the shameless whores we are if there is chocolate involved. Roses and jewelry and my god you'll be perfect!

Women are neurotic. We're very emotional and prone to stress. We also don't hide it. Men will hide it under their stoic manly gaze, but women will lash out and throw tantrums so terrifying that even God himself trembles in fear.

When it comes to either or being very upset with you women are worse by far. For whatever reason a woman pushed to the edge or cornered is an ungodly force of destruction. They will destroy you with words and physical attacks all at the same time. They will also scare the ever living fuck out of you. Men just smash things. Just smash.

Women are prudes. Incredible prudes. If we aren't prudes we are the hugest fucking sluts you will ever meet. Female prostitutes are trashy whores with hearts of gold. Male prostitutes are those things you hire to scare your friend Tim.

Women can crossdress and no one will care. In fact they aren't crossdressing at all and it's stupid for them to think they are. They're just wearing clothes. Men cannot crossdress unless they are a fag or, worse still, a tranny. Trannies will either be ungodly good at what they do or so ridiculously fail at it that no one can take them seriously at all. The former won't care if you freak out and go "EWWWWWWWWWWW" upon learning the truth. The latter will likely just say something snide in their horribly deep man voice.

Women like Valentine's Day and anniversaries. Men don't give a shit and forget all the damn time. This upsets women greatly because these are the most important days of the year EVER. Remember boys. Chocolates, flowers, and jewelry. BUY THEM OR ELSE.

Women who cheat on their man are victims of their terrible husband who can't satisfy them and likely abuses them. Men who cheat are fucking assholes who can't keep in their pants. Either way women win.

Men think about sex every N seconds, where N is a number somewhere between 3 and 52. Women think about sex perhaps twice a day, or maybe not at all.

Women talk too much but rarely say anything intelligent. Conversely, men "communicate" in monosyllabic grunts.

• Women instinctively know how to take care of children. Men not only don't possess this instinct, but cannot learn childcare skills at all.
• Women are fastidious to the point of being neat freaks. Men are slobs to the point of being health hazards.
• The main thing women look for in a partner is money. The main thing men look for (if not the only thing) is looks...and the younger, the better.
• Men have a sophomoric sense of humor. Women have no sense of humor.
• Men are ruled by their libidos. Women are ruled by their hormones. These are two totally different phenomena.
• Women obsess over every detail of every relationship they find themselves in, romantic, familial, whatever. Men are barely aware that other people exist.
• Men aren't good-looking, but they age well. Women are gorgeous until the age of 35, when they suddenly become hags.

Related to the crossdressing thing: it's always acceptable for a woman to wear the clothes of her mate (or one-night-stand), usually indicated by an oversized shirt. No man wears women clothing, even in private, unless he's a pervert or a freak. And the woman will ALWAYS complain or be upset, whereas the guy has no problem with her wearing his clothes.

@Aondeug: No, even for power tools we're not the same. We go in, we look at the selection, and we leave.

For most men, shopping is a verb. For many women, it is a noun.

I'm a guy and I'm enamored of department stores.

Women will have 40+ types of shoes each and every individual one essential for perfecting an outfit. Men only have like, 5 at time and only wear 2 on a regular basis.

He's asking for stereotypes. There a few stereotypes related to shopping. That's one of them.

Now then.

Children. What about when they're kids?

Girls like to have tea parties and play princess. They also enjoy playing nurse, but tea parties and princess are the two primary pretend games. They also adore pink. Pink is awesome. As are white and other bright colors that go well with pink and white. Girls cry a lot. Makeovers are common as well. Girls like experimenting with make up from a very young age. They also adore sleep overs. If they are older they will talk about boys and how cute they are. If they are younger they will talk about boys and complain about how nasty they are.

You also have your tomboys. They hate everything girly in any shape or form to the point that they will throw shit fits if they are presented with it. That or slowly and tortuously destroy her girly belongings. The tomboy is frequently grumpy with everything in sight and seeks to play with the boys. They often never let her and she will stomp around and possibly cry. The tomboy will be broken by the end and learn to be girly thanks to her new found female friends.

Boys are dirty little ruffians who can't follow rules. They love dogs, sports, playing with insects, pranks, and generally just being little assholes. Lovable little assholes though. A boy's best friend is his dog. As well as other little boys. They find girls icky and enjoy doing things like dropping bugs down their shirts. Until they hit THE AGE. Then they will want women all the damn time. Even some little boys like women and boobs. Boobs are great. Pretend game wise their options are soldier or cops and robbers. There's also the older cowboys and Indians game.

Note that a little girl and a little boy who love each other express their love by hurting one another.

Stereotypes related to alcoholic beverages...

Men like manly drinks. The key drink is beer. Beer is the holiest of beverages and all true men have a taste for it or will gain one over time. Classy men like classy drinks. Fancy martinis or expensive wine are their drinks of choice.

Women like girly fruity drinks that drown out the icky alcohol taste. Your flavored vodkas and Shirley Temples are for them.

Since we're on the topic of food...Men don't cook. They barbecue. A man and his grill have a sacred relationship. He will go to extremes just to grill up some dogs or ribs. This is all referred to as barbecuing even though it bears little if any resemblance to actual barbecue much of the time. If it is actual barbecue he will be very passionate and precise about his special homemade sauce. All men love this. ALL MEN.

You forgot whiskey. Jack's a MAN.

I did...Fuck...Yes. Whiskey. WHISKEY IS THE TRUE SIGN OF THE MANLIEST OF MEN.

Men see in only 16 colors, like in earlier Windows monitor schemes.

White, gray, black, brown, tan, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and lighter shades of blue, green, red and purple for a grand total of sixteen colors.

Drives my wife crazy when I do this. Example:

I'm looking for my green shirt.

'The aquamarine one?'

...the what? It's green, woman.

'No, it's aquamarine, see?'

Okay, whatever. -shrugs-

Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.

I'm not that bad, but I certainly can't make the distinctions that many females I know do.

Females can make the distinction because they were probably taught it at a young age.

Hooray for nurture.

Read my stories!

That would explain the strange looks I get when I identify things as fuchsia, lavender, salmon, or magenta....
