Women of the world, . . .unite and face down your fears. You’re more than just a pretty face and arm candy. Aren’t you? It was the guys against the gals last week in our lively little discussion group as we were pummeled with all the stuff we can’t do and our “why would we want to” responses were mere fodder for more pain from our “male superior” counter parts. Blah! Blah! Blah!

It all started with a minor repair that need to be done on my desk drawer and I was unable to distinguish between the different tools that were needed to get the job done as well as the stupid names that identify them – it went downhill from there.

Guys, for some reason know this stuff and I think that we pretty little things do not have a need to know them. That’s what guys are for. If God wanted me to bend over and fix stuff all the time he would have put diamonds on the floor. Right? That’s sound logic there my friends.

Here are a things women need to improve on to help shut the guys up. (Jim in particular)

1. Using power tools – Yes it’s true. Guys aren’t always going to be there when you need them for this stuff. Why is a Phillips screw driver called Phillips anyway. I always thought it was the ‘pointy screwy’ thing.

2. Being disliked – Guys don’t really care that much about this problem as I was informed but I’m upset if I even think a cab driver doesn’t like me. Even Mother Teresa had people who didn’t like her for God’s sake. Why do I care if people like me or not?

3. Going to the gym – I only go to the gym with other women and will rarely set foot in the weight room. Too intimidating!

4. Saying “I don’t know” – If you’re wrong admit it. If you don’t know something say it. Learn it if you must but it’s OK to not know everything, (hint hint, Mandy you were no help)

5. Asking a guy out on a date – This one will take some time. I’m a girly-girl and the wires are locked firmly into place by sisters and mother on this one. Although. . . .there’s great looking guy who parks at the other end of our parking lot . . . . .

6. Decorating – I’m embarrassed to have friends over to my apartment because I have nothing on my walls except old ridiculous posters and my furniture sucks. How hard is it to learn how to decorate a little bit. It’s upsetting to think that my apartment hates me.

These are a few thigs we discussed and lost at. Men are not superior beings as they like to tease me about but I will get even.
