Men and women aren’t that different…

Posted on 21 September 2009

Women just don’t want to hear the truth some days. This is why we ask questions like, “Do I look fat in this outfit?” We just want to be oblivious and enjoy the moment.

Until last night, I thought that men never did such things.

When a man records a sporting event on TV to watch later, the last thing he wants to know is the score. Jon is an avid Roughrider fan, and I am more of benchwarmer. We were gone all day yesterday so he PVR’ed the game to watch that evening.

I was online catching up on emails and whatnot and asked him to look at something. Then I quickly yelled, “NO! Don’t look! And don’t look on the internet either, you might find out the score!”

In a matter of 2 seconds, he looked extremely disappointed and asked if I knew what the score was. And then he said, “Do you know who wins? Please just lie to me. I don’t want to know.”

This made me burst out into gales of laughter. I didn’t see anything about the game, I was just trying to be a supportive wife!

I suppose the main difference between men and women is that men freely admit their need to be lied to and women rarely do.
