Why are men happier than women? Tis obvious, we get to look at beauty all the time.

You're right, women hardly ever get to see handsomeness coming their way! j/k

Mars is more fun than Venus!

NASA knows - have you heard of a Venus probe or Venus lander?
Uh, yeah. :rolleyes: How about the Venera missions, Magellan, Pioneer, and Vega?

that list didn't even mention the male lack of a "time-o-the-month." I'd be a bazillion times happier if cramps and bloating just went away... course, the only ways to do that are a) have a baby b) menopause or c) hormones... ugh
:smile: I don't know...I'm pretty sure we make them suffer along on that one. We might be all crampy, but they have to duck and run for cover from the projectiles aimed their way. :biggrin:

So, that's why men are better at physics! Thanks to their sex, they are exposed to projectile motion once a month without taking classes (only clashes). :biggrin: Another one solved!

Yeah, imagine the momentum if men where the one's throwing things around with their strength. As a biologist, you don't think this could be a complimentary explanation to why women have PMS instead of men? :confused: :-p

I should really get some sleep now... :rolleyes: Please ignore me.

Girlfriends

Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.

Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0...

A "Don't remind me again" button
Minimize button
Shutdown feature
An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects)
A Remote control for the these features would be a nice upgrade.
I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall GirlFriend 1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that it is totally object oriented and only supports hardware with gold plated contacts.

***** BUG WARNING ********

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

A woman that I worked with for years was like that. I don't think that she ever actually had PMS, but she sure as hell was a carrier.

Feynman: yes
Einstein: very doubtful
Niels Bohr: Never!
Heisenberg: uncertain
Newton: probably, but just because he was a country recluse
Galileo: Italian, so absolutely

I never have multiple dinners. Some nights I don't even get dinner at all!

Sorry to hear you miss dinner some nights. Maybe you're using the wrong equation. How about this one:

\int e^x

Yup, that's a pretty long symbol. Should do the trick. :biggrin:

ok ok, I'm going to be super lame for a minute... first of all... that's not an equation, its an expression... and secondly, its an improper expression at that... what are you integrating with respect to? you need a dx or something. how can you expect to get anywhere with a gal if you're math is all screwy? i mean c'mon now. poor math skills are a hardcore turn off!

ANYways, its a wicked beautiful day. I'm a very happy woman right now, regardless of everything else.

Gale,it is called "element of integration" or "Riemann measure"...:-p

Poor math skills from a girl:major turn off indeed...:-p

It's the english language disguised as mathematics. He's definitely hinting at an equation.

Gale, it's called "antidifferentiation", you don't need a . . . wait a minitue, now I'm thinking it's . . .are you joking or what? But you're right, it's not an equation. Perhaps a better phrasing would meet your requirements.

You know, antidifferentation can be done in many ways, some ways are more fun than others. The important thing is to take it slowly, taking care to do everything just right so that you arive at the right dinner . . . I mean, solution.

Also, if you're 17, then all I'll say is that truly you are a diamond in your father's eyes and I'm not the least bit interested in antidifferentiating that.

Yes. But, as guys, we don't care. It falls in the same category as wrinkles in clothes, randomly-matched socks and hair styles.

and guys can be smart without worrying either. Its so awkward being that "smart chick."
Are you kidding?
Maybe it's just because I live in Southern California but it's a tough time looking for an intelligent woman. I don't see why you have to worry about being smart.

I think the point is that women do. As much as women try to pass it off like it doesn't matter what a guy looks like you should hear them talk.
"He has no ass."
"He looks like he'll be bald by the time he's thirty."
"Look at the size of his nose."
"He has bad teeth."
"Doesn't look like he has anything in his pants."
ect.

That wouldn't have happened if you'd been keeping up with your clinic staff exercise sessions.

most guys are intimidated by smart girls. Guys want to feel superior. I spose it only makes it worse that I'm athletic, smart, and good with music and drawing... most guys are really uncomfortable with that. I haven't met any men who though it was hot when i helped them with their homework.
men are usually revered if they're intelligent, women are thought to be weird if they are.
