Not everything smells like roses

The differences between men and women are many! I am by no means qualified or even capable of listing them all. However the main similarity (according to me) is that we just don’t understand the opposite sex. Let me give two examples of this misunderstanding, note that these examples are not the only examples available, but ones that happened recently in my life. First, women don’t understand men. Brittany and I went to a book reading followed by a book signing given by a very famous author. We were both there in an effort to impress the current love interests in our lives. In fact Brittany had never read anything by this author and I had only read a few of his books. After the reading/lecture a huge line formed to get books autographed. Brittany and I had already noticed we were the hottest women in the place, so we being clever women, think that if we sit directly in front of the author and flirt with him we will get extra book signed, personalized autographs and such……

After hours of not being noticed we finally give up and join the line. When it was our turn the author was afraid of us, he thought we are very upset with him because of something he did to the main character in his book. Brittany and I had to confess that we had not read the book and had no idea what he was talking about. Obviously he wanted to know why we are so mad at him, to be staring at him for hours. Sheepishly we admit that this was our attempt at flirting with him! He thought we were crazed fans, upset about him killing off a main character in his last book! Geez! The whole time we were trying to flirt and he is thinking of getting a restraining order. See women just do not understand men. It is worth mentioning we got all the extra books signed and personalized autographs, and not because we were hot, but because we were scary!

Second, men just don’t understand women. Yesterday on a lunch date with Courtney we were both pleasantly lifted away to some light and sunshiny place by a man’s cologne. However this got us immediately thinking about how powerful of a reaction all women have to men’s colognes and how few men actual wear it. I work in a building where the total number of men is 240, and the total women number of is 18. In my entire building there is only one man on the first floor that wears cologne. Men just do not get it! To attract a woman it helps to wear cologne, and most of my co-workers are on the look out for available women. Note to women everywhere...but before you women rush to work here; remember this.... The odds are good, but the goods are odd.
