P.S.- I usually know why she's mad, but it's usually something so small and abso-berkeleying-lutely ridiculous to be mad about, if I can get her to say it out loud she usually realizes how abso-berkeleying-lutely ridiculous it really is.

P.P.S.- This only works about 10% of the time, but I still believe it's a better option than "yes, I understand that you're mad because of xxxxxxxxx, but don't you realize how totally ridiculous that is?". That NEVER works, and following that plan you are guaranteed to make her totally furious.

It's way worse when you DON'T know why, and you get the "I shouldn't have to tell you, you should just know!"

Errrmmmm.... right. Well, i'm going to be over here. Call if you need me.

And that's guaranteed to make me furious. I have little to no patience for games like that.

Later when reconciling, making up, whatever, listen. Listen. Listen a lot; the female body is capable of fantastic things, but if you're a butt head and don't listen when she's on a rant, you'll never got to listen to the good parts.

There are others. There will always be others.

"Why are women on Facebook instead of in the kitchen making sandwiches?"

Funniest Facebook Group I have seen all year.

Make me sandwich! No crust.

Seriously.

My shop is 4 miles from my house. I go there, turn the phone off, have a glass of scotch and wait it out.

Sooner or later she drives over and has calmed down.

When I get sick of fixing a broken car, I get rid of it and bring something else home. That doesn't work too well with women. I tried it. I finally figured out I had to change my search criteria. Happily married now for 28 years. Out of 30, that's pretty good!

Women, can't live with them, can't shoot them.

I agree with what's been said. Their brains are just not hardwired to do that sort of thing.

And those flowcharts made my day haha.

You should have left it at that.

Women have two wires in their heads. They aren't attached except in rare, infrequent occasions. In those occasions they are as logical and and easy to get along with as most men. Very few women have the wires permanently attached. I think they are all on this board.

Women got summed up well in a scene in The Break-Up. Her Goddessness Jennifer Aniston says "I don't want you to help with the dishes. I want you to want to help with the dishes."

That, my single friends, is pretty much what being married boils down to.

Similar to Rosie Perez in "White Men Can't Jump" when she askes Woody Harrelson for a glass of water. And he gets her one! "I have thirst Billy! I'm not thirsty." Or something akin to that.
