    It really sucks when you are really listening, but then when questions, you zone out and can't remember a thing!

    Onacruse, I always thought you were a woman. Sorry, Strange.....

    I'm a woman trapped in a male body...that's why I know so much about women!

    From your responses, Craig, I know exactly what she means.

    Dave listens to me, looks right at me, but I know he isn't hearing a word I say. Later, he insists I never said what I did say.

    He also tries to figure out what I mean by what I'm saying. Sometimes, it's not a big deal, I am saying exactly what I mean, with no hidden, needing-to-be-interpreted, meaning.

    From what I can discern, PLEASE listen to Kate.

    Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.
    "Is that what this crazy day was all about?
    You idiot, I meant my dress size!"

    LOL!

    I thought the punch line was going to be "You idiot, I said 'I'd love to have sex again!'"

    gumboil,

    Men try to fix things when all women want is someone who will listen and show they understand....without saying anything.

    If I wanted someone to just nod sympathetically without trying to help me, I'd pray.

    When I actually talk to a live human about my problems, I want help, dammit.

    Awww Gumby my silly pliable green man you got it all wrong.....

    Craigs arse is in deep doo cuz he tries to anylize evrything and he's always trying to solve Kate's problems instead of just being quiet and "listening" to her. Men try to fix things when all women want is someone who will listen and show they understand....without saying anything. Just nod and look real concerned.

    Kate has very few problems for the Craigster to solve, you see I'm smart enough to solve them myself and when I share my problems with him I've already solved them and am just telling him what I did about whatever and how appreciative I am of him giving me the gift of trust in knowing I will do the right and the best thing for both of us.

    My man is a listener, don't let him fool ya! He just saw that bumper sticker today and got a kick out of it. One of our greatest joys in our marriage is that we listen non judgmentally and genuinely share deep respect and compassion for each other.

    Mulan:

    Dave listens to me, looks right at me, but I know he isn't hearing a word I say.

    Now, ya see, that's exactly what I'm saying! You think he doesn't hear a word of what you're saying, but, in fact, he hears every single word...and after appropriate male processing and evaluation, he stores the essence of your thoughts into his ineffable memory banks, for future reference.

    Later, he insists I never said what I did say.

    Can you prove that you said what you say you said? (ala the AlanF "prove it" class LOL)

    He also tries to figure out what I mean by what I'm saying.

    Hmmmmm...now there's something we can get our teeth into! Are you suggesting that women say things that they don't mean? Or, perhaps, just perhaps, that women mean things that they don't say?

    I'm sure glad that men don't behave in such an unpredictable manner.

    Sometimes, it's not a big deal, I am saying exactly what I mean, with no hidden, needing-to-be-interpreted, meaning.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah...so you supposedly answered my last question; I'm still not satisfied!
