5 Things Men and Women Can Never Agree On

#3 Ironing a pair of jeans is surely a foreign concept

Have you ever had an argument with your partner where both of you clearly think the other is in the wrong?

You left your SUV all muddy and dirty from your last offroad adventure, and your girlfriend washed it and made it look shiny new, and she’s expecting a big thank you and gifts, while you think she should be glad enough you’re not mad at her for spoiling that awesome look that your SUV had from that memorable trip.

You’ve had an argument and your boyfriend thinks you clearly owe him an apology, and you think you’re being the nice one here by letting him get away by simply “letting it go” where you should be the one demanding not just an apology but a big gift for his stupidity.

We’ve all been there. It’s not that we think we’re always right — but there are certain things that just have a very different definition of right and wrong for a guy and a girl.

Here are some you’ll definitely identify with.

#1 — Much Ado About “Anniversaries”

Oh well, it’s hard enough for us guys to remember the birthdays and the wedding anniversaries, but when it gets to some of the more specific, and frankly random ones, it gets a bit too much.

You wake up one morning and your wife’s made amazing breakfast and looks in the best of moods, and has a little present wrapped in shiny paper next to your plate on the table.

You’re excited about the yummy breakfast, but you also know you’re missing something. What’s the occasion? It’s not your birthday, nor is it your wedding anniversary. What are you missing?

You want to be happy about the gift, but you also know you were PROBABLY expected to also get one for your wife, or at least KNOW why you’re being given one.

Sound familiar? Surely, it does.

The solution? Remind us.

We don’t intend to not celebrate the big and the small milestones, it is just that we can’t remember too many.

If we try to add another date in our limited, rather challenged memory, we probably kick one out from the other end of the queue.

Of course, we remember the complete schedule of the Champions League or when the next Formula 1 race is scheduled, and the day when our favorite player beat the opposition team single-handedly, but that’s just how we’re wired.

But if you remind us close to an important date, we promise we’ll get you a gift just as nice and be glad to celebrate the moment with the same excitement as you!

#2 — Aesthetic Sense is NOT A Man’s Top Strength

We recently moved into a new house. I loved the way it looked as it is with our old furniture. But my wife thought something was clearly missing.

It didn’t feel special enough. I could see it once she prompted me to see it, but I still didn’t know how to solve it.

Our old TV cabinet didn’t match the dark wood flooring, our old dining table was too small for the bigger dining room, and a bunch of other things that all made perfect sense — AFTER they were pointed out to me.

They just weren’t as obvious to me.

The Solution? Help us see it through your eyes and we’ll fix it together.

Without being stereotypical, and with the obvious exceptions as there are to any rule, women are almost always on an average more artistic and have a much stronger sense of aesthetics than men do.

So why not guide us and nudge us and show us what isn’t obvious to our eyes. If you tell us a beautiful chandelier will lighten up an otherwise dull and ill-lit room, we’ll surely see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.

Once you open up IKEA and show us how those bedside tables perfectly complement our bed and serve a utility too, we’ll be sure to order them with you.

#3 — We Have VERY Different Standards of Cleanliness and Hygiene

So here’s the thing — when I was not married and shared an apartment with another guy friend, I had a room to myself that had a king-sized double bed. Yet, one side of it was reserved for a stack of dirty clothes, my laptop, and a bunch of other junk.

Why? Coz I only need half of such a big bed to sleep on, so there’s room for plenty of other stuff on the other side — to me it is utility!

And changing bedsheets — well if I changed one in a month’s time, I’d be exceeding my expectations.

Also, let’s address the topic of jeans. Why does a pair of jeans ever need to be washed? Or at least until they show visible discoloration or soiling, or start to smell funny. Also, ironing t-shirts and jeans? Is that even a thing? Why the hell would you ever do that?

The Solution? Time and Reason to change, and we will change

Things are different now. I am married and I live a more orderly life. The bedsheets are changed every couple of days. There’s nothing on the bed apart from cushions and pillows.

Dirty clothes have their own space, while laptops and other stuff have designated areas too.

Did I change overnight on the day of my wedding? Of course not. But constant reminders and requests from my wife have indeed made me a lot more orderly. There is still the odd time when I forget my trousers on the bed or leave a wet towel lying around after a shower, but hey, I am a different person from what I was when I was single.

#4 — How Long We Remember an Argument Varies

Every relationship, no matter how strong it may be, has its fair share of arguments — big and small.

You win some, you lose some.

Yet, the ability to remember and keep track of which ones you won, which ones you lost, and the premise of each, is a key determinant in your chances of winning a subsequent argument.

Most of the time, men suck at keeping track of this. And so, often times when the wife or the girlfriend is trying to tell them how this is the 4th time they’re doing the same mistake, and why they’re wrong again, they struggle to remember even the last time they did that, let alone the other two.

So, we’re at a constant handicap in an argument, right at the outset of it.

The Solution? This one’s simple — Forgive and Forget

Arguments never did any good — and in a relationship, it doesn’t really matter who’s right and who’s wrong coz that is always subjective. What matters is that the relationship is much more important than winning any little argument.

And so, sleep over an argument, and wake up the next morning like it never happened. There aren’t many reasons to hold a grudge between partners, because love has no room for revenge!

#5 — Men’s Fashion Ends Where Women’s Fashion Begins

This one is almost unfair. Among t-shirts, shirts, shorts, trousers, jeans, formal and informal jackets, men need to find a pairing for every occasion.

There’s not much more to a man’s wardrobe, apart from some traditional clothes depending on your ethnicity or nationality.

Whereas women have a whole variety of different things up their sleeves.

I’d take a whole other story if I started listing them out. So when a woman tells a man to “dress up for the occasion” he can surely try, but he’s going to fail in front of the equivalent of the woman’s attire.

We men will almost always look underdressed in front of our gorgeous partners.

The Solution? Don’t need one — it’s a good thing!

Yes, we’re underdressed and don’t have too many fashion options or even a fashion sense. But that’s OK. It’s probably a good thing.

If we had too many options, we’d make the worst of choices in matching colors, accessories, or styles, and make a fool out of ourselves.

And, it is also indeed a guilty pleasure, when my wife looks 10 times better than I do — for one, she is clearly the better-looking one in the relationship, and second, she has a much better dressing sense.

But having a partner that is clearly out of your league is a compliment if anything — so not complaining at all!

Well, the reality is that our brains just like our anatomies were created differently, and that really is the beauty of a relationship between two people. It is a union of two different personalities and that is what adds the spice to life! So, let’s learn to agree to disagree and none of this will matter!
