The Festive Season brings out the worst in us all – gluttony, drunken lasciviousness, volcanic familial resentment, catastrophic wind, it’s all there. One feature in particular of male behaviour at this time of year has many women rolling their eyes and reaching for the rubbing alcohol in a snarl of frustration – when men become ...
Why do men always want to escape family gatherings at Christmas? Christmas is a time for family. Well, yes, ok. But “family” in the real sense of “those with whom you have chosen to share your life”, rather than “those to whom one or other of you is related in a technical sense”. One of ...
It’s that Most Wonderful Time of the Year again, and as we all pause between office parties to reflect on the precious moments of the last year (and possibly to throw up all that appalling red wine we sucked down like it was spa water) we suddenly remember that we’ve forgotten to buy any presents. ...
Pub quizzes. Football league statistics. Trainspotting. Top Trumps. All very male domains. Why is that? Why do men love factoids, arguing ad nauseam, quoting Monty Python and boring women to death in social situations everywhere? Is it to impress each other, and hopefully girls? Are men actually ruttingly butting antlers, simultaneously fending off rivals and ...
It’s another from the file marked “Clichés: old, hoary” but it’s no less true for that – men really just don’t understand women. You know the sort of thing – woman asks man in a studiedly off-hand way for his opinion on something, man gives what he thinks is a reasonable answer, woman flings the ...
A widely held belief states that all men like “money shots”. No straight-male-orientated porn film is complete without the mandatory final wand-waving splurge by the male star, generally all over his female co-star, because received wisdom holds that this is what men like. But why is this? Firstly, are money shots in fact merely a ...
Men face a difficult and complex set of urges and impulses in their lives. On the one hand, they generally have some sort of nesting, homesteading desire; a desire to find a partner who complements (and, if they’re very lucky, compliments) them, usually to have children, and to create a home and provide for, and ...
It’s a hoary old cliché: when they’re lost, men just don’t ask for directions. While women are quite happy, if out in their cars and unsure of how to get to their destination, to wind down their window, hail a passer-by and ask for directions, men would rather drive around till they run out of ...
It’s sadly predictable, but it tends to be true: men love eating big chunks of charred animal, and women, well, they tend to be a bit more varied in their diets – OK, they eat a LOT more salad. I’m not saying they love it, but they seem to know what’s good for them. (Except ...
Women are peculiar. While their behaviour can, for men of some experience and erudition, be possible to predict, for the rest of us it remains nonetheless completely inexplicable. We just don’t understand them. The poet Scott had it pretty much taped out when he observed: “O, Woman! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and ...
