So You Think You Know Men: O-Level for girlies

1 When a bloke says “that’s nice” about your appearance it means
a) he doesn’t care
b) he hates you
c) in his opinion, you look nice

2 You are navigating in the car whilst he drives. Did you get lost
a) on purpose
b) because you think that being useless will be endearing
c) because you are crap at navigating (be honest)

3 Your man decides to do some DIY. Do you
a) Go shopping, and tell him it’d better be tidy by the time you get back
b) Insist on helping, and hand him huge screwdrivers when he is fixing electronics, and tiny screwdrivers when he is fixing shelves.
c) Make cups of tea or coffee, and encouraging noises from time to time.

4 You suggest some fabulous but expensive cosmetic treatment . Your man says that it’s not necessary, and likes you as you are. Do you think that this means
a) he doesn’t care about you
b) he hates you
c) he likes you as you are.

5 Write a one-year capital expenditure plan for the purchase of new shoes. Justify this in the light of the fact that men hate Imelda Marcos and yet thought that Sandi Shaw was great.

6 Give three reasons why women always have to go to bed earlier than blokes. Also, that bit where you switch the light off just as he’s on the way upstairs – what’s that about?

7 He buys a new boat. During the first visit to the marina, which ONE of these phrases can you use?
Gosh, is it that really fabulous huge boat over there?
It’s a funny colour
I don’t like the name
It’s not really “new” if it’s secondhand, though, is it?
They haven’t even cleaned the shower!
The way it bobs about is a bit worrying isn’t it?
Do the engines have a full main dealer service history?
Is it BSS, Lloyd’s Part 1 (1988) and MCA approved?
But surely it’s guaranteed not to sink if it’s new?
The VHF licence is out of date.
Isn’t this one of the earlier ones with smaller engines?
Gosh darling it’s just wonderful.

1c)
2b)
3a)
4c) I suppose. But there should be a fourth option. He's too mean.
5. I can't really attempt an expenditure plan for purchase of shoes, cos I rarely ask how much they cost. If I like them, I hand over the card. But in my defence, I don't buy a handbag to go with each new pair of shoes. And having said all that, I never wear shoes on the boat or around the marina, winter or summer. I never wear them round the house or to nip out to the car. I wear them for work, to got out and sometimes in bed.
6. Three reasons:
a) To try to get to sleep before the snoring starts
b) To read a book cos you're fed up with him channel surfing with the remote control all night. How can a bloke watch 6 programmes at the same time ?
c) To start without him, cos you know he's gonna catch up pretty quickly and more often than not, finish ahead.
Turning lights out ? - possible revenge for 6c)?

7. I don't like the name.

Hope Dr Boomer doesn't read this ;-)

1. a) If he'd actually looked up from all the brochures he's brought back from the LBS, he would see that I'm looking terrible.

2. None, for some reason, I always seem to be the driver there, so he navigates, and having been driven there, you can always find how to get out again, and if for some reason I'm actually navigating, I've never got lost (except once finding Milton Keynes rugby club, but who wouldn't).

3. c. But why don't I get the same when doing DIY, men need an appreciative audience, we on the other hand just get on with it.

4. Same answer as PaulineB, and he doesn't actually get the concept of spending money on anything cosmetic, unless its for the boat.

5. I gave up smoking 20 years ago, and work on the principal that 'think of all the money I've saved over the years' to justify this expenditure, and as I hardly ever throw my shoes out, I'm fast catching Imelda up, we may have to move to accommodate, or I could probably send some on loan to a museum now. Actually, shoes was a very dangerous subject to get on to.... to keep it boaty, I have deck shoes in various stages of decrepitude, which I use at various times, and keep in various locations, and find I probably wear at least one pair, for a while, every day. Who has the oldest pair, still in use, I wonder.

6. 1. to get some reading in, currently Lord of the Rings
2. so I don't have to watch his rubbish
3. so I can watch my stuff

Lights out? Well, I enjoy hearing him stumble around quietly cursing of course.

7. Gosh darling it's wonderful - of course!!

Re: Very useful

Unfortunately, the women have invented some other answers to the multiple choice bit.

Come on Dr Boomer, you've now had months of data to study and digest but still no profiling of the mad posters here. We still await with bated (whatever that means) breath.

If you want to..........

.....show off then you really must get your facts right ToMo!
LJS's use of 'bated' is absolutely correct.
Although not really a cricket fan I'm sure the English team would be most upset to know that they're crap at taking the p... out of the opposition, lets face it..they've got to be good at something and as you should have said they aren't very good at batting......
