Weekend Update: July 4th Edition

So, randomly, on Friday night, a couple friends called and asked if I wanted to go to Virginia Beach for the weekend.  I'm always up for beaching, cold drinks and fried food, so naturally I said yes.  We drove up Saturday and came back yesterday, there were four of us in all, me, another girl and two other boys.  The boy is actually in Norfolk for Navy stuff and managed to catch up with us Saturday night, so I enjoyed getting to see him, even if it was only for a few hours.

However, the trip was one of those trips that teaches you that boys and girls are truly different.  And we're different about different things. The following is a chart that demonstrates the different arguments speckled throughout the trip.

 

 Issue

 Female Opinion

 Male Opinion

 That girl from Aruba whose name I misremember now but who everyone is making a big deal about it.

 How can any female be stupid enough in this day and age to go out with a strange group of men unaccompanied.

 I feel sorry for her.

   

 Mercy killing (in the middle of battle)

If I saw someone suffering like that, I would put them out of their misery.

 

 

I would shoot them in the head.

 

 

Okay fine.  I would turn away.

 

 How?

 

 

There is no way you could look someone in the eye and shoot them in the head, even if their guts were spilling out

 

You couldn't do it. 

 

Art

 It's a response to culture, society and our environs.

 Art can be good and satisfy someone's need to create beauty but artists are bullsh*t.  They just make that stuff up

 

I show this study not to give examples of the way women think or men think, since obviously some men would disagree with the "Male Opinion" and some females would disagree with the "Female Opinion" column.   Rather, these exchanges show that men and women inherently disagree with each other.  Our entire trip was composed of one gender saying something about something and the opposing gender refuting that claim.  God forbid they agreed with us on anything.  Of course, we should really learn to keep our mouth shut during the opening scenes of "Saving Private Ryan."  Why are men boys so difficult?!?!?!

 

Anyway, here was my tanning viewpoint:

Da Beach!

great chart, I must say I agree mostly with the female opinions.

Why DO guys feel the need to disagree with everything we say??

On another note, I'm so jealous, I wanna go to the beach!

Great post. My husband always disagreed with everything I said out of habit, I swear. One day I tried an experiment. I said, "The sky is blue today." He replied, "No, it's more of a violet." Then I told him that this was proof that he would disagree with anything. Of course he denied it. But now when he does that, I just look at him with a smile and say, "Sky's blue," and he shuts up ; )
