Thanks to Marie for this perspective on how we men of a certain age act
Because I'm a man
when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling AAA is not an option. I will win.

when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what
I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.' We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, as a form of bonding.

when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.

when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.

I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it.... though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator.....(former applies mainly to engineers).

there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either golf, cars, sports or women. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.

I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?

and this is, after all, the year 2013, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, I will use the vacuum and do the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... Like hosing down the patio and wandering around in the garden with a beer wondering what to do next.
