I have a few questions for the women on these boards, that it is time they are answered, I am sure the other males around here are curious as well.

I will break them down to specific categories.

Bathroom.

1) what difference does it make how the toilet paper goes on the roll? For that matter what is wrong with leaving on the counter beside the sink, it is still within reach.

If it is against the wall, it's hard to grasp when I have long fingernails. If it lays out from the wall, the cats consider it a toy. The sink? It gets wet and ruined. Behind you, some people have a hard time twisting.

2) Up or down, what difference does the toilet seat make? Ladies, there is this neat thing in physics called kinetic energy, tap the toilet seat and it falls down, simple kinetic energy. Okay so you have to over come inertia, it is not like the act takes more than a few ounces of force, think of it as exercise.

When you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and you're half a sleep, and you sit in a bowl of cold water, it matters. I don't want to exercise at 3 a.m.

3) Why exactly does it take you women so freaking long in the bathroom in the morning. Shower, five minutes, add hair wash another six minutes, brush teeth five minutes, apply make up, ten minutes unless the woman is using a trowel. That comes to 26 minutes. So what are you doing with the other 30 minutes?

Let's see... in the shower - exfoliate, wash, shampoo, conditioner, shave - in several places ahem - brush my teeth (sometimes in the shower), feet and elbow exfoliation. Oil and / or lotion on my whole body. Hair care - and I'm very low maintenance - brush, product, plump, go. Makeup? Lipstick in the elevator on the way out. My skin is soft as a baby's butt. Some men think that is worth the wait.

Bedroom

1) If it is a kingsize bed there is plenty of room. Cuddling is cool, however, do you understand the law of physics about two objects not being able to share the same space? Keep moving closer to us after there is physical contact, we are gonna move, eventually off the bed.

Good. More for me. I like to cuddle and then - go away, I like to sleep. If you make the room so cold that my nipples might break, all bets are off.

2) What is the function of making a bed in the morning? Okay, straighten the sheets, covers, pillows, we are not having a military inspection after all.

So I can put stuff on it and not have it get lost. This one I used to feel the same as you. Now... I just like it..

3) At most, you use two pillows at night, now would you explain why putting a dozen pillows on a bed that are just going to be thrown on the floor to make room for people to actually sleep in the bed.

I use 4. All of them are on my bed. I use every one that is there..

4) Closet space.
A. Five pair of jeans, four nice shirts, three flannels for winter, one nice jacket for formal wear, work boots, dress boots, tennis shoes. Add to that three or four sweat shirts, six pocket tees, and a few wife beaters. One complete wardrobe.
So explain the necessity of a wardrobe that will allow you to change outfits, shoes and purses four times a day every day of the month. Do you really need all those clothes and shoes?

Are you on crack?
B. Why does the closet space ratio regardless of how many closets in the room always seem to be 75 to 1 in favor of women?

We have more clothes. Do you have any idea how many layers we use? Some men actually think that space is worth giving up to see his lady looking lovely. Clothes are a celebration of my body and my successes and the glorious woman that I am.

Kitchen

1) why do we need a plate or paper towed to make a sandwich on? If the counter is clean, why dirty up a plate?

Seriously? An ounce of prevention. I hate having to deal with crumbs - the food kind and the man kind.

2) what is the problem with keeping the coffee pot full?
It burns. I don't like the taste of burnt coffee.

3) what is the difference between good china (only used for holidays) and the every day stuff?

In my world there is no difference. Don't I deserve beautiful things all the time?
4) why go ballistic if a guy grabs a fork, pokes something in a non stick pan to taste it?
It ruins the pan.
5) why does a coffee cup we always use need a complete wash at the end of the day? what is wrong with rinsing it out?

Nothing... if you don't mind all the bacteria that comes with old milk and sugar.

Dining room

Why is it so important where the silverware goes?
It's not. It is all in one drawer - I have a basket. All of it goes there - chopsticks, knives, forks, spoons.

General

1) Just because your mom, friend from work, whoever, why is it so important for me to change shirts? So what if it has stains that wont come out from working on cars? Are you trying to fix us up with them so we have to make a good impression?

Really? Let me go meet your buddies with my hair in curlers and my lipstick askew.
2) We put down cardboard, with a towel on top of that, plus an old sheet, so why get spastic because we are rebuilding a carb on the coffee table while the game, race, or victoria's secret special is on?

Have you ever cleaned grease and oil? No. I also don't paint in there because i value the few possessions I have.

Finally

You knew we did these things before you decided we were "the one" so why are you making a fuss after you move in?

Because now it's not YOUR home. It's OUR home. As in... HOME. This is not a workshop. This is not an art studio. I have been homeless... I want comfort. I want to have beauty around me. And i want a place that is 'lived in' rather than a garage. And I deserve to live in some place lovely.

For the same reason you get all upset when we shave our legs with your razor.

be my guest, just remember to dry the blade and inside the handle's slot or it will get rusty... ah I use this kind of razor:

I will break them down to specific categories.

Bathroom.

1) what difference does it make how the toilet paper goes on the roll? For that matter what is wrong with leaving on the counter beside the sink, it is still within reach.

If it hangs down the back it rubs against the wall. It's also harder to grab. I don't have a problem with the sink if I can reach it easily and the sink is clean.

2) Up or down, what difference does the toilet seat make? Ladies, there is this neat thing in physics called kinetic energy, tap the toilet seat and it falls down, simple kinetic energy. Okay so you have to over come inertia, it is not like the act takes more than a few ounces of force, think of it as exercise.

If you had ever walked into a bathroom half asleep and sat down on a toilet that had the lid up you wouldn't even ask this.

3) Why exactly does it take you women so freaking long in the bathroom in the morning. Shower, five minutes, add hair wash another six minutes, brush teeth five minutes, apply make up, ten minutes unless the woman is using a trowel. That comes to 26 minutes. So what are you doing with the other 30 minutes?
Can't answer this one, it doesn't take me that long.

Bedroom

1) If it is a kingsize bed there is plenty of room. Cuddling is cool, however, do you understand the law of physics about two objects not being able to share the same space? Keep moving closer to us after there is physical contact, we are gonna move, eventually off the bed.

that's the idea, gives us more room.

2) What is the function of making a bed in the morning? Okay, straighten the sheets, covers, pillows, we are not having a military inspection after all.

That's another one I can't answer.

3) At most, you use two pillows at night, now would you explain why putting a dozen pillows on a bed that are just going to be thrown on the floor to make room for people to actually sleep in the bed.

Pillows are fun.

4) Closet space.
A. Five pair of jeans, four nice shirts, three flannels for winter, one nice jacket for formal wear, work boots, dress boots, tennis shoes. Add to that three or four sweat shirts, six pocket tees, and a few wife beaters. One complete wardrobe.

B. Why does the closet space ratio regardless of how many closets in the room always seem to be 75 to 1 in favor of women?

Kitchen

1) why do we need a plate or paper towed to make a sandwich on? If the counter is clean, why dirty up a plate?
I do it so I don't have to clean the counter.

2) what is the problem with keeping the coffee pot full?
I use a kuerig.

3) what is the difference between good china (only used for holidays) and the every day stuff?
good china is what my sister keeps at her house for holidays. every day stuff is what my dad, my nephew and I use at home.

4) why go ballistic if a guy grabs a fork, pokes something in a non stick pan to taste it?
Because you will screw up the finish and things will stick. It will also eventually get into your food. Good pans are expensive as hell, why ruin them?

5) why does a coffee cup we always use need a complete wash at the end of the day? what is wrong with rinsing it out?
You drink out of it and don't have a problem then neither do I.

Dining room

Why is it so important where the silverware goes?

General

1) Just because your mom, friend from work, whoever, why is it so important for me to change shirts? So what if it has stains that wont come out from working on cars? Are you trying to fix us up with them so we have to make a good impression?

2) We put down cardboard, with a towel on top of that, plus an old sheet, so why get spastic because we are rebuilding a carb on the coffee table while the game, race, or victoria's secret special is on?

wouldn't have a problem with either one of those. Why have the tv in front of a large table if you are not going to use it.

Finally

You knew we did these things before you decided we were "the one" so why are you making a fuss after you move in?

Now that is a good question.

Remember, most of us bone chickens with razor sharp knives so using a straight razor will not be that difficult.

But if your auto parts are on the table in the living room, not only will we use and ruin your razor, we'll leave it in a puddle of water to rust.
