MEN SPEAK_RANDOM RAMBLINGS

Quite often my husband and I have discussions about our differing perspectives as male and female. We often discuss how we viewed the opposite gender before marriage, and how some of our single friends and family members view the opposite gender now. Just last Friday, we began to have a conversation about women describing men, as opposed to a man describing a man. The conversation went something like this:

ME: Well if I were setting my friend up with a man, I might say he's about 6'1, dark-skinned, slanted, dark brown eyes, with a broad nose. His hair is wavy and he keeps it cut low. He has broad shoulders and a massive chest, and he's muscular. Oh yeah, did I mention he has dimples?
HIM: Why does a woman ask a man to describe another dude if he's hooking the two of them up? I might say something like, he looks like he eats rocks.
ME: That doesn't tell me anything, you guys could say, 'He looks like Denzel,' or 'He looks like Biggie Smalls'. That tells me if I need to stay or run.
HIM: Well, he said that he 'loves it when you call me Big Poppa.'

Other ways that the male and female conversation differs:

Average woman's idea of romance:

Surprise me on a normal day, when it isn't Valentine's Day, or my birthday. Pop up at my job, and take me out to lunch; or bring me a gift to my job, totally unexpected (something that my husband did in our early years). Or, serve me dinner on the back deck with candles underneath the stars, with soft jazz playing in the background. Surprise, surprise, surprise...that's what it's all about for me. And I must say, my husband does understand that about me.

Average man's idea of romance:

How many different ways can I hit that. Flip her this way, turn her that way, twist her this way, and bounce it that way. Now this isn't all men because some men, define it as him and his girl together, just vibing and sharing that same zone and appreciating the moment together.

Women's idea of friendship:

Discussions with their girlfriends about their lives, sharing secrets, shopping and lunching together, and emotional support. Your girl understands when you're in your fierce diva mood, versus your emotional wreck, because he broke your heart mood.

Men's idea of friendship:

Just being cool together, kicking it and keeping it real with one another. They don't turn their backs on one another, and willing to take a risk that the person will be upset with you when you offer real advice. They believe that one another will see the truth through the advice.
