Mrs Tank and her friend were talking and for some reason they got on about the mirrors in next. And they both agreed they didn;t like them.

Surely I said a mirror is only as good or bad as the material looking into it. :?

Could any of you females out there please endevour to explain such statements or are me and my mate married to a couple of fruit cakes?

    What makes you think that the problem can be explained by any female, as opposed to the people involved in the original conversation? Mmm? :?

    The women in the original conversation are both convinced the mirrors in next are not very flattering. I did siggest they would perhaps have better results if they were to peer into mirrors accquired from a "fun palace" :lol:

    I was wondering if it was a womans logic thing, or if was just my Mrs and her friend.

    Good to see that there's a distinction between logic and female logic. :roll: :cry:

    I was not looking for an in depth discussion, just a bit of a lighthearted OP. But as it happens I think in some cases women's logic does differ from mens.

    As in I bought this dress in the sale and saved £30.00 No you bought that dress and spent £30.00. :roll:

    I know. I'm just a bit hot on gender discourse. I like to point it out from time to time.

    It's just the assumption that male logic is normal logic and female logic isn't.

    They're all stereotypes that allow for male dominance to be assumed.

    I thought your example illustrated the universal unconscious male dominance perfectly! Nothing personal! Honest!

    Since my son left home I now live with Mrs Tank and daughter Tank and despite the fact I pay all the bills and am the sole earner I come a poor fourth in the pecking order. :cry:

    Indeed they are. I was just thinking the same thing as I made a cup of coffee this morning. And then I thought...making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak. And then you put in the milk.

    3. Can an Anti-submarine helicopter fly underwater ?
    4. What colour is white ?
    5. What happens when the moon goes out ?

    ...buying a bike frame is a bit like making love to a beautiful woman. You catch a glimpse of her in the shop window, shining seductively. You know you want her as soon as you gaze at the gentle curves of her chain stays. The delicate flicker of the sun woos you as it catches her carbon finery. She's Italian, and you know she's begging for you. You marvel at the size of her forks and before you know it, you've whipped out your wad and are taking her home. With some thought, you choose her groupset and playfully slap her on the saddle. You whip out your allen key and tighten your nuts. You know you're going to ride her hard and fast just the way she likes it. Two hours later, the sweat is pouring off your forehead and your legs are turning to jelly. Finally, you crest the top of the hill panting like a banshee.

    Thats just things women say to you....

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost;
    Than never to have loved at all."

    "Get your wallet out"

    "Will you stop staring at her chest?"

    "Do that again, and I'm calilng my husband"
