Title: The fairer sex
dougie - March 28, 2007 01:43 PM (GMT)
I read somewhere that the female brain is unable to absorb as much information as males, and, according to the brain capacity of the lady in question, female neurons periodically cause inhibitory behaviour in the fairer sex.
Is this true?

PML Dougy this is a very brave question to ask ( now what was the question again :P )
as for the female brain not absorbing as much as a male, well in my opinion i think its a case of men tend to talk about things that arn't important like footy, cars ect :loopy: where as us females talk about more important things.
So my theory is since the more important things are not talked about as much as footy , cars ect we don't need to absorb as much coz its just a waste of brain space lol

As with most things in life it's quality not quantity that is significant.
You blokes may be able to absorb large quantities of cr :sign53: p, whilst we "lesser mortals" just concentrate on remembering the important things........
Like BIRTHDAYS, ANIVERSARYS, MOTHER'S DAY, FATHER'S DAY.
We can remember the year our children were born AND how old they are.
Which activities they have on this week, where they have to be at what time, what they need to wear and who is going to pick them up.
We remember to organise something for tea (more that 5 mins in advance).
We remember that clean clothes are needed for Monday morning, which day is library day and where the kids have hidden the books.
We remember YOUR MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY, her favourite colour and what “you” bought her last year.
We remember at the beginning of December that the kids will need some presents – rather than rushing around the shops on Christmas Eve in a blind panic. We also remember in August that we have to send pressies back to the UK.
We remember to wash the kids, and feed them. We remember who their best friend is, who they fell out with last week and who is coming to play tomorrow… and what they want for tea…
We remember when the parent interviews are at school and we remember to turn up. We also remember who their teacher is, and if they actually like them or not.
Whilst remembering all of this many of us also remember to hold down very demanding jobs.
Most of all though, we have to spend a lot of time trying to remember why we married you in the first place !!!!!

but you can't remember to leave the toilet seat up, can you.
Limski - April 1, 2007 12:11 PM (GMT)
One of the female members of this household drives me to school and then to work.. about a 20 minute drive. Sends a text to her son and daughter about 1/2 an hour later asking whether she turned her straightners off becuase she couldnt remember. She then drove home and back again only to realise they were off.
I believe that statement is correct, Dougie. Well, in mum's case maybe.

hey,who cares about B) !!
Hi, this is to all our male friends and those female ones who know all
about it.
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple
creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding
plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can
be President.>You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to
a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell
you the truth. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom
because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of
Which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles
add character.
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest
when you're talking to them The occasional well-rendered belch is
practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
One mood All the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks A five-day vacation requires only one
suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the
slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or
she can still be your friend Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap
problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle
lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and
neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides
your big hips One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all
seasons You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can "do"
your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning
growing a mustache.. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on
December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier. Send this to the
women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

Not necessarily, depends on the time of year. Is it BB (before birthday) or AB (after birthday) and of course how many sleeps until the next one.
An example - for the hard of understanding.
It is now 2007 and my youngest is 6, but in January it was also 2007 but she was only 5 and “x” sleeps to go. A very important distinction, which any parent worth their salt should be up to speed with.

My take on this is that most female blondes cannot absorb information due to the chemicals on their head from their blonde hair dye (bleach).
Most of them are what are known as "Aeroplane Blondes" i.e. all have a black box.
