A TRUE story -Bluddy wimmin (again)

[LotteBum]

The sweeping statement that 'bluddy wimmin' are bad navigators is probably true - it is a 'sweeping statement' after all. Personally, I'm not one of these women, but I know ladies who are, and happily admit so.

I now want to make a sweeping statement of my own. Don't you just love that horrible, unattractive, hard stomach most men develop as they age (and they still continue to get around with no shirt on - eugh!), nor the inability of most men to cook anything other than flavourless crap (give me a man who can whip up a spicy stir fry any day!).

Us 'wimmin' may be poor navigators, but we sure as hell age far more gracefully than men and we sure as heck are a lot better in the kitchen than most men.

P.S. My partner still has a flat stomach and he's training in the kitchen. I've made it clear that if he does not cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, not to mention stay trim, I'll look far younger and better than him when we're older and he's not going to like it.

P.P.S. Don't even get me started on childbirth - there's a reason 'bluddy wimmin' were assigned that task. Our male counterparts simply would not be able to handle it.

You mean to tell me that there are guys around (besides Ian Thorpe) who actually do that stuff?

Now I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, stir fries are easy and any bloke who can't cook one has reasons other than incapability but that's by the by. My wife is a good navigator and she became very adept at operating the GPS while we were away.

But there's no way I'm rubbing that mucky crap all over myself like she does every night and if she doesn't like it, she knows what to do

[Ashore]

Mate most GPS's have an earphone socket try a headset


and the normal navigation to the local shops by women compared to men

[rsser]

Well my partner with a Melways in hand would beat City Navigator 7.0 on the GPS any day.

Not that that's much of a compliment.

But she navigates as well as I cook and I have had a critical clientele of kids for 25 years.

So, one swallow does not a spring make.

I'm not into making sweeping statements

[Allan at Wallan]

Last time I was driving the missus on a
shopping spree and she was navigating
with the Melways upside down.

We argued when we got lost, I told her
to go to Hell and she is still searching the
Melways under "H" for it.

This is causing me to have a good old cackle!

Just goes to show how different we are, ie. if my husband ever starts to do the exfoliation thing, I will divorce him, give me a hairy faced male any day.

I personally dont think the navigation problem is a gender thing, although, I dont know too many males who could navigate the females route around the shops as shown in Ashore's post, thats why they go straight to the one shop.

The "ex" was a shocker with a street directory, she could get lost in the middle of a bloody oval.. but, take her out in the bush, give her a map and she was terrific! I couldn't ever figure that out. But then I always had trouble with cooking too....
Speaking of cooking and things domesticish, is Thursday really the best day of the week for washing the dishes?

[OLDPHART]

Girls would you like a little cheese with that whine?

[wayfarer]

I have had to correct many a bloke on the direction we were supposed to be going. Even had to teach one how to bang in a nail. (He was an architect though. ) So don't get all "sweeping statement" with me around.

WELL YOU GUYS REALLY ASKED FOR IT NOW,
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS women cant navigate whine.
If youse blokes are soooo good, why do you ask us to navigate in the first place. In fact how come you always get to drive?
(unless its on the way home of course)
Then we just switch on the automatic pilot DONT WE?

So what if we turn the map upsided down this actually makes sense.
Do you EVER admit your lost and ask for directions?

No, you just drive us and the kids nuts, driving round in circles, or the wrong direction, and we just sit there with a fixed smile cos we darent say" I think It's the other way"

Women's sense of direction on average is .006 worse than mens (NASSA)
but of course men did the tests.

Very cross

Go automatic stoppers,

Get a cat or dog and leave yer dishes on the floor each morning.

When yer get home from work the dishes'll be nice and clean

[Bleedin Thumb]

My stomach is flatter than my wife's, I designed and built my own kitchen because I love cooking and I don't need any flamin metro-sexual beauty products to retain my natural rugged good looks ( OK very rugged) and I have yet to meet a woman who can read a street directory...although I have met a few who THINK that they can.

Now now boys and girls let's not get too excited. My wife uses the WC navigation method. She knows where every dunny in Australia is located - seems like it anyway. We never get lost.

Hey ern I can relate to that.

Gees Astrid you've just confirmed for me my place in the GREAT male fraternity. You could have been me misses talking cept I don't have a misses just a live-in lover, washer, ironer, financier(I think that's right), etc. Anyway she loves me and I love her but she still can't NAVIGATE. Funny isn't it that she thinks I can't either!! Just don't know how we get around.
