I got this from my mother a while ago:

French language

A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

"House" in French, is feminine -"la maison," "Pencil" in French, is masculine "le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?" The teacher did not know, and the word was not in her French dictionary.

So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheque on accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine "le computer") because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model.

Ps. Ohh, and according to my all knowing girlfriend computer in french actually is masculine... :rofl:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic

:rofl: I feel sorry for men, women do have this inherent fallacy that somehow if a man loves her enough he will be able to "know" what she wants. :biggrin: Keep the guesswork coming, my brethren.

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else

This is also true, maybe men could decode women by treating them like experiments, make observation of pattern and draw conculsion.

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review

:devil: The guy must have forgotten to apologise.

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheque on accessories for it.

:rofl: That's true, women do like to shop. :biggrin: But a few of us prefer window shopping.

:smile: IMO women are lovely, they are worth the trouble.

:smile: IMO women are lovely, they are worth the trouble. Yeah, I'll second that!

Joke:

What, me pay money to Microsoft?! Isn't the aggravation enough?!

If this happens to be original, please steal it and claim credit. I don't like drawing attention to myself - I prefer to live in obscurity.

:rofl:

Yeah, I'll second that!

And I would third it! (That is, if I have any credibility left after that joke...) o:)

But allow me to demonstrate some finer challenges on the way:

This is also true, maybe men could decode women by treating them like experiments, make observation of pattern and draw conculsion.

Surely that could work, given the assumtion there actually is an internal logic to derive (and I live to tell the tale after possible replays...). However, since:

I feel sorry for men, women do have this inherent fallacy that somehow if a man loves her enough he will be able to "know" what she wants. Keep the guesswork coming, my brethren.

we are expected to find what can't be found, it must be the effort that counts. Or is it?! :confused:

The guy must have forgotten to apologise.

It appears, we are now and then expected to find it anyway. But it would surely take no one less than a genius to do that. Not that he'd be any better off, since he would get there without the earlier mentioned effort. :biggrin:

Of course, ya sisters must have your own share of challenges, so I can't say we have all the fun. :smile:

[Polly]

Yeah I'd say understanding women takes a colossal amount of work. If there is one trick of general application though, I think it must be listening empathically without feeling being attacked, criticised or being thrown into a dog-house. :smile: Hope it helps.

[Joel]

Yeah, and just to gather some points, the aim should of course be to understand the individual. But I think your generalization works either way and with most people. :)

[Astronuc]

I have enough trouble understanding myself. :biggrin:

That's Mor-dor, with a "d". :rofl:
