RAji, you pointed out that a woman who does it all is a fool.. I suppose I was that fool, doing pretty much everything in the house.. but no regrets.. again it was my journey and I did not have to prove anything but I used to get immense satisfaction when I put together small furniture or read the instructions for some electronic gizmo and also drive without driving and wonder, how the heck this man goes alone long distance when not assisted by me.. funny it never bothered me but retrospect when I shared my experience with others, they exactly said this.. You are a bloody fool.. Am I ??? not sure.. I took pride in keeping my yard manicured leaves raked and clean the first snow without any problem, the problems started when I was not in my 20's anymore.. hahahahhaaaa!!! at least I don't dig out the snow or the other chores which I did for nearly 31 years of living in the east coast.. last three winters I am free of that.. what a relief but it has made me lazy in some ways..

Anyway, I think women can do just about anything but intense physical labor they may not just because of the physical make up but there are women who are truck drivers and construction workers... Equality is good as long as no one takes it to the extreme.. :-)

I don't know why Diamonds are supposed to be girls best friend?
It is just inert glittering carbon that does not respond to us in anyway.

A Dog is everyone's friend,..dogs are so loving, so cute ,responsive and playful.
Dog's are like boyfriends..so I feel a girl's best friend should be a Dog.
 

Dear Bushu,

'asadu' is does not mean 'fool'. Fools won't know how to do things properly. This kind of 'asadu's I mentioned are very

intelligent and can do any task. They have more problem, if they happen to be 'perfectionists'! They will not let anyone

do work for them and do all by themselves and struggle! I am one of that kind. :becky:

But actually the saying my M I L told is about the 'not-so-efficient' ones, who drag the job for day and night (60 nAzhigais).

I gave a new interpretation. That is all. :thumb:

Sorry for correcting the statements. :nono:
The woman leads the team and does not follow the men.

Dear All

Quoted below are a few lines from " Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps "
- Barbara & Allan Pease

" Why did Moses spend 40 years wandering in the desert?
He refused to ask for directions."

" Miss Universe competitions are watched mainly by men, but Mr Universe contests turn nobody on".

" You're a lousy lover!' she said. 'How can you tell that in two minutes?' he asked.

" Ninety percent of the people in prison are men".

" Women can speak and listen simultaneously, while at the same time accusing
men of being able to do neither"

 'It's obvious that women are smarter than men. Think about
it - diamonds are a girl's best friend; man's best friend is a dog. ' - Joan Rivers "

"If a woman is talking to you a lot, she likes you. If she's not talking to you, you're in trouble.

Hope many people have fun reading the book.

Dear RR ji,

OMG..that means you are like my mother!

She won't let anyone help her in anything and insists on doing everything herself.

That is why I never got to learn any cooking from her and I learnt everything my own self cos she would not want anyone in the kitchen when she is cooking.

I used to learn cooking on my own after she had left the kitchen!

Even now she does not eat anything I cook..she will find fault and say that I cook with less spices.(I don't like using much spices)

She needs to have her spices 100% perfect.

No matter whether efficient or not,
women have to work for 60 naaahzigais-
either prolonging the daily drudgery or
trying in new things to spend their free time
- the way we seem to be doing here! :typing:

Let me take this opportunity to thank
Mr. AK47 (TVK) for creating a free space
in which we women are welcome to enter and
be ourselves and interact without the fear of :croc:

Dear Renu!
Your mom is more like my youngest sister who will feel bad even if she has one cashew-nut less than that specified in the recipe. :pout:
I will mix and manage with what I have and I assure the end product will be tasty and fanciful. :hungry:

Dear VR ji,

Yes my mum is like that too..even if one raisin is lacking in her Kheer she will sense imperfection.

I on the other hand can whip up a dish even with the barest minimum if needed.

Once in college at night me and my room mate were feeling hungry.
All we had is some packet of roasted peanuts and bread and tomato sauce.

So I pounded the the peanuts with a pestle and made it into a paste added some tomato sauce and heated it over our Indian portable electric stove and made peanut tomato dip and we ate it with bread.

My father calls my mum "The Kitchen God"
 
Dear Smt VR

There are many chapters that in the book discuss the Man-Woman relationship, Sex, Homosexuality
Heterosexuality, Polygamy, Promiscuity etc etc., in a purely analytic and scientific way.

I don't know whether it would be apt to post excerpts in this Forum and whether it will be
received or shunned.

My idea is to get people to read the book themselves - I'm sure they will nod in agreement with the content
and laugh at the humorous manner in which it is conveyed:

Anyhow, since you asked :

Why Men Can't Lie to Women


Our Body Language research reveals that, in face-to-face communications, non-verbal signals account for 60-80% of the impact of the message, while vocal sounds make up 20 -30%. The other 7 -10% is words. A woman's superior sensory equipment picks up and analyses this information and her brain's ability to rapidly transfer between hemispheres makes her more proficient at integrating and deciphering verbal, visual and other signals. This is why most men have difficulty lying to a woman face-to-face. But, as most women know, lying to a man face-to-face is comparatively easy, as he does not have the necessary sensitivity to spot incongruencies between her verbal and non-verbal signals. Most men, if they're going to lie to a woman, would be far better off doing it over the phone, in a letter or with all the lights off, and a blanket over their head.

Cool! Let people read/ ruminate/ accept/ reject what they read from this scientific study!

Women look into the eyes and can go to the depth of the heart of the other person.

Sadly men will be focused else where - anywhere else - and not the eyes of the woman.

Since he can't read her heart, he does not want to let her read his either.

I hope you (singular) and not you (plural) are under your blanket. :sleep:

Proves that you not only preach gender equality but also practice it! :)

I also found out why you can get along so well with women folks.

It is in your very name dear Mr. Krishna!!! (Am I correct???) :rolleyes:

Your thread will become one of the hottest

or the most visited or the most popular threads! :cool:
 
Raji, I did not misunderstand you dear, I was just stating, I have been an Asadu when I could have deligated, I waited until I developed allergies to the grass.. again, no regrets, I learned all about gardening and maintaining it.. women who migrate seldom do such things, the poor men do everything and of course, once they settle, they do hire someone to do it for them,... and children sometimes take over as happened in my case, but later, there was one guy who did help with the lawn but it never looked the same..

Renu, I am also like that, love to cook and I won't mind taking help but it will be only if my children help, I won't from anyone else.. and I will also concoct my own twist to the recipe and make it yummy.. :-)

Well women certainly can multitask much more efficiently than Men, that is a fact.. :-))

Dear AM ji,

Actually anyone can lie..when we keep repeating a lie long enough it starts to sound like the truth!
I have seen enough expert liars that I feel even a lie detector machine will give up!

Lie detectors are for the novices. :lie:

Seasoned liars can deceive the detector easily

by keeping as :cool: as ever. :heh:
 
In most of the text to voice conversion software one can choose john or linda, I mean, male or female. Of course, there are more lindas than johns.

Dear VR ji,

I have always wondered why all automated voice messages are female voices.

Why don't they use male voices too??

It is always a female voice saying "The number you have dialed in currently busy/out of reach..please try again after sometime"

Or "you have reached the mail box of 013-********* kindly leave your message after the beep."

I was thinking that why don't someone make automated machines like this:

Press 1 for Male Voice
Press 2 for Female Voice

Let the consumer/customer make the choice.
