Just a Little Man-Bashing

If a man receives an email that has more than one question he will answer only one question. Now, what is up with that? Do men not read beyond the first question mark? Do they pick the easiest question, answer it, and hope you’ll go away? Do they not give a rat’s ass whether or not you can do your job with inadequate information?

Even when I try sending an email saying “In order to clarify your request, please answer the following three questions:” followed by a numbered list of the questions I still generally only get back the answer to one, or if I’m really lucky that day (stars and planets all aligned perfectly I guess) I might get back answers to two of the three. To expect all three to be answered on the first try? Ludicrous! I can almost guarantee it won’t happen.

Now I will admit this will occasionally happen when I email questions to women, but not often and not consistently. With men though, it is almost an ironclad guarantee.

Men. . . can’t live with ‘em; can’t shoot ‘em. . .

Well you gotta know you're setting yourself up for failure if you send an email to a man that contains more than one question and is not accompanied by several diagrams and a scratch and sniff panel. Also, photos of boobies are good, i hear. :)Cover all those sensory angles.

Serenity - Yes, I should've known. What was I thinking?

You probably thought you were talking to an ADULT when you sent the email but....anyway :) oh the man bashing, it does feel good. I should probably stop now...

Serenity - Yes, that's it. I thought I was talking to an adult, probably because he has a job that pays well and he wears a suit. Nope, just a little boy playing dress up apparently.

I should probably stop now too. . . doesn't mean I will, but I probably should.
