  • Careful what you say boys, you'll only encounter the wrath of the millions of women that frequent this forum. Oh wait...

    I think some of the ladyfolk should post suggestions on the "things men should do" thread before I get myself into trouble over here.
    Thought of a thing women should do:
    Have a decent rear light on their bicycle so lecherous cape clad cyclists don't have an excuse to stalk them.

    I think most of them in either list are pretty much the same. I can change a tyre, and put up shelves, and gut a fish. People should just learn to be a bit more capable.

    I'm shamefully inadequate at fettling though. And long division.

    No - I can't see anything "subtle" about following a girl half way across Derbyshire because "her lights were a bit dim" :)

    It'd be good if real women were able to do what the ladies in those gentlemen's special interest films available on the internet are able to do. Apparently. You did ask. :wink:


    Understand offside inside the first half dozen explanations.

    Park.

    Understand that brakes are cheaper than gearboxes & clutches so maybe use the brakes for slowing down.

    Not hold a ****ing grudge over some stupid argument for that long. Honestly, it was three weeks ago, I barely touched it and it wasn't really that valuable anyway.

    Not try to discuss football / TdF tactics unless you're quite confident that what you're about to say doesn't sound totally ridiculous (M-i-L)

    Grasp that being in the garage tinkering isn't hiding or avoiding doing the washing up, it's important.

    Read my mind. That covers it all probably.

    I think it's fairly obvious what I'm thinking when I'm talking to a pretty girl. I think my tongue dragging on the floor gives it away.

    Perfectly accurate summary... except:
    It was Nottinghamshire / Leicestershire
    It was less than 2 miles
    They were completely flat.

    So nuh.

    I'm not letting that one go.

    Lid down AND seat down. Both genders. Ever seen how many bacteria can jump onto a toothbrush when you flush?

    Besides - it looks tidier.

    Do you know how many you breathe in when you sniff someone else's fart?

    Although the thread was started in jest, some things like mapreading- when from the passenger seat IS the womans job, in the same what that putting up shelves are a mans job.

    When men are in the passenger seat they SHOULD be great at mapreading (and generally are, with exceptions) whereas women who CAN mapread are the exception.
