  • Places where men are always right

    Well, I suppose the true title should be "Places where men always think they are right." Now, you know I try hard not to generalize groups of people, so maybe this should be titled "Places where men that I know personally think they are always right." Ok, let's go with that one.

    THE GRILL
     
    You see that man? He looks happy right? He will stay happy, as long as you don't tell him that the hot dogs are over cooked, or that the hamburgers are undercooked, or that the coals are not hot enough.

    ON THE ROAD
     
    You see that face? That is the face of a man who has just been told he is going the wrong way. You don't want to see this man. Pass the same tree 5 times in the last hour? You can mention it, but then you will get this face lol.

    THE CAR
     
    This photo is obviously photoshopped because men work on the car alone, or with another man, but definitely not with a woman. She better just be holding his tools and not telling him what to do. All men don't have to know how to fix cars, they just think they have to know how to fix cars, thus they must be right in their car fixer-upering.

    THE KITCKEN

     
    Men who dare to tackle the kitchen as one of their domains feel that just for the bravery of stepping into a "female dominated" area of the home, what they say should go. You can have a smiling man with a knife cutting cucumbers just like this, as long as you don't mention his lack of dishwashing skills or that the shrimp isn't cleaned properly.

    In what places are the men in your life always right?

    All of the above. Especially the grill... but I tend to stay away from the grill, so I like it. Hahaha

    1) they are not over or under they are cooked to perfection just like we want them... dont like ?... find a female bar-B-que

    2) that is the face of a happy man... he is happy cause he likes that tree and likes to drive around just to see that tree...3) she is obviously trying to point to where she thinks her carburetor is...4) and here a man is a god.. who needs stinkin dishes?...

    @beforedawn@xanga - hell yes. i can cook and eat out of the same fucking pan then put aluminum foil over the bitch and put it in the fridge if I dont finish. I don't judge ME, you women do. :D ahahha.

    I cant agree with the car because of the different variables that the gear-head experience entail(what kind of idiot do i look like trying to tell my girl how to fix/maintain a car when/if her dad runs his own garage or she grew up in a house of older car crazy brothers and shes fixed her car years before i met her?)

    ...but the rest? Road, Grill, Kitchen?  PPSHHH - Make yourself useful and set the table, pour me a drink, or hand me that joint i hide in my cd case when traffic is too much to handle sober. Im right, You're wrong, Sit there, look sexy and shut the hell up! Im going the wrong way? SO WHAT? If no one is going to miss a flight, chill out. I LIKE getting lost... its the only real and FREE adventure I have left in my life that isnt regulated by the government or isnt a consern by my HMO.

  • john@xanga

    i don't grill, cook or own a car... but i am definitely the boss of the computer.

  • emo4glife@xanga

    why is there a lifeguard mat thing in the kitchen? O_o

  • echois23@xanga

    Men are always right all the time everywhere ....... and if they are ever suspected to be wrong it is obviously the direct result of some misinformation provided to them by a woman... 

  • nonurbusinessyo@xanga

    BEER!!  Women may run circles around us with wine but when it comes to beer, we always know what we're talking about, sometimes.

  • tokyoexpressman@xanga

    That road face is my face. I like to yell at people who suck at driving and I hate asking for directions.

    My gender communications professor said in lecture that GPS devices in the UK have a man's voice as the default because apparently men in the UK don't believe women can give credible directions and will trust a man's directions more. Whereas American GPS units have a woman's voice because men don't like getting directions from other men.

    "Hey, neighbor!  Have a hotdog!  Golly gee."  This is what grill guy's saying to roadrage man below him. 

  • withlove_c@xanga

    im wondering if kitchen there was purposely spelt as kitcken...

  • kachino@xanga

    Since it's on Mancouch, I thought the answer was going to be "Everywhere"...

  • benshee@xanga

    @erahslover@xanga - AHAHAHA

    Men are always right. Unless it's...no, men are always right.

  • C_UNIT42@xanga

    i can't speak for other men, mostly because i know too many men who are almost never right, but i can speak for myself and i'm always right.  i don't do things unless i know what the hell it is i'm doing.  1) if i'm grilling i let you know how the food is gonna be cooked, if you don't like it eat your own damn cooking.  2) when i'm driving i know where i'm going because i plan it out before i leave.  don't try to tell me i'm lost because i'll kick you out and let you walk your happy ass since you know where you're going. 3) if i don't know how to fix it i take it to the shop where they do know, which makes me right cuz by taking it there it gets fixed. 4) pretty much the same as grilling.  but afterwards i clean everything very well cuz i don't wanna eat off of nasty plates with nasty silverwear any more than you.  and if i'm making shrimp i know how to clean it, otherwise i wouldn't be making it. 


    p.s. i really don't know why i just wrote all that...

  • mewithoutu77@xanga

    i disagree with the car part.  i work in the car industry and grew up in the body shop business, i know a lot more about cars than i should have and i have met a lot of men who don't know too much about cars.  

  • beforedawn@xanga

    @mewithoutu77@xanga - ummm name says it all? lol high 5 fer an auto workin gal... means i no longer gotta change my oil right?

  • mewithoutu77@xanga

    @beforedawn@xanga - that's right and that means that i really don't need a man maybe just for some loving...

  • Mr_Gnome@xanga

    I would just like to say...


    HOW DARE YOU!


    way to go mancouch, I think you dropped the ball on this one.

  • beforedawn@xanga

    @mewithoutu77@xanga - lol nah.. ya needs a man.. jus aint met one yet...

  • yourblondeness@xanga

    @withlove_c@xanga - I was gonna say...apparently they aren't always right at the spelling bee?

  • KasumiCelesta@xanga

    1) My mom is the one that grills. Sometimes my dad takes over just to make it looks like he's King and all, but my mom really is the master chef. The exception is when my uncle comes over, because he LOVES the grill.

    2) I don't drive, so I'm not going to touch this one.

    3) Again, I don't drive, and thus I do not have a car. But if I did have a car, I would have no problem being told by a man how to fix it. Isn't that what's going on in the picture?

    4) No. The kitchen is a cooperative area. The person who is always right is the person who is in charge of the meal that night.

    1.) I'm assuming that the majority of women do not know how to operate a grill correctly. My assumptions come from the fact that not a woman in my family or any girlfriend I've had knows how or does very well on them. My girlfriend now is afraid of the fire... I think it's because meat is more of a manly thing. I know I'd choose meat over vegetables any day. And if you don't like your steak at least a little bit bloody, you can eat nothing.


    2.) If you know how to get somewhere that I don't, feel free to lend a hand in navigating.


    3.) I don't know shit about cars other than changing the oil, fixing a tire and jumping a battery... so I'm probably never going to be right there.


    4.) Reading recipes are not my strong suit.
