The male mystique - by D. Armenta

WHAT is going on in that brain of yours?

May 2nd 2007 23:49
I love men in general; like to hang out with them, shoot the shit with them, play in bands with them, go camping with them. But sometimes I just cannot, for the life of me, figure out what the heck is motivating them to do (or not do) certain things. Maybe some of you out there, men and women, can enlighten me.

Why do men like to make loud noises? I swear this is something they never outgrow. Whether it's turning up their guitar amplifier to earsplitting levels, or setting off explosions, or just generally banging and slamming and grousing out loud to themselves round the house...jeez!


Why do men like to make fires? Is this a primal thing, or what? I can build a campfire in minutes, but damned if every time I start one some man isn't horning in on the action till I let him do it. Once the fire is lit, another man thing comes into play, which is:

Why do men like setting things on fire. Whether it's sticks, paper, trash or their own shoes men just can't seem to be able to leave a fire alone. They must always be fussing with it, or sticking things into it, or throwing more wood on it when it isn't needed.

Why do men, when they use up all the toilet paper, never ever put the new roll on the holder? Ever?

Just wondering..

we like fire. It must be instinctual... there's something about being a provider that comes along with the ability to make a fire.

I've gotten great at replacing the toilet paper roll! I lived by myself up until a few months ago and replaced it once every couple weeks. Now that my girlfriend lives with me, I replace that thing almost daily. What the hell do women do with all the toilet paper?

I had a girl roommate that was the same way years ago. I've come to the conclusion that she eats it for some type of secret nutritional value when I'm not looking.

I only light fires to destoy the environment, and as my personal contribution to global warming ...

I SHOUT A LOT, on the off chance I get married again and need to be heard once in a while.

As to not replacing the toilet paper? I'm usually too exhausted after I've used it.

LOL, you guys crack me up..thanks!
Nathan, girls all learn early on in secret girl school to use up huge amounts of paper just to mystify men.
David, As long as you're not shouting WHILE using toilet paper....

I like to fart lound and use lots of toilet paper when there is leakage. And I get pissed when women forget to raise the seat when they are done.

Aight?

Yes, Deorre, but why not accomplish two things at once and LIGHT that fart?

D. Armenta,

I love staring at flames and fires ... does that mean I'm gay? *lol* ...and, my daughters NEVER replace the toilet paper...

Lilla ...

PS My husband is really big on the big noises thing - to the point that, aftr 16 years of marraige, I am convinced that he is mentally retarded in some way... perhaps some form of autism?

I never realised that all men did it, I never noticed it before I was married?

>guffaw< Lilla, staring at fires is one thing..setting everything in sight on fire, though? LOL

I am convinced that most men have a thing (maybe not even aware) about making noise. I've noticed it in every man I've shared quarters with, at work, in the home, or camping.

When it's not annoying me, it usually makes me laugh.

As a muso, D., surely you can appreciate that there's nothing quite like the feeling of a bright red E chord through an amp turned up to 11 as it reverberates through your toes and right up your spine?

Or the way the lights seem to go dim when a distorted E5 chord tears through you like a wild animal?

Loud noises are good. Better if they're somewhat musical
