Do you think this is valid? What do You think has changed, since Women were happier than Men?

Women told men that they were happier.

The ten million dollar secret to a happy life.....

"Happy Wife, Happy Life"!

Yeah but,

If Mama ain't happy...Ain't nobody happy!

LOL!

I dunno if this holds any water, but my theory is that fellas get mad in the moment, and even if it comes to blows, they will often be friends after it is all sorted out. Whap! Whap! Are we cool? Let's get a beer. It's over and done.

Women will often think about something for a long time before acting on it. Stewing is never a happy activity. Not only does the problem become far bigger than reality, but the delay robs the reaction of context. They love that part.

I know, easy to say when she is asleep. This notion is thankfully based on past experience. :0)

Add: Great article Craig. After reading that, I think more women should put their feet up and watch the ballgame. I dunno about the rest of you, but I'd rather see her happy than scrubbing, so we share the chores.

Thanks Littlesongs. I found this study most interesting. Was shocked that next to nothing was said from posters early on.

Everyone: Do You think Women caused their own decline in happiness?

Originally wanting what men have, they joined the work force. Are they having second thoughts? Is it because there's more work after work waiting at home? Are they less happy because they're not at home to welcome their children from school, or maybe even their husband? I wonder what the break down is in percentage to married and single Women?

Suprise, men and women are different. A man will confront another man, upfront, and they will have it out either words or with fists.

Once its over, its over.

Women can stay mad for a long time, I mean they can bring things up that happened 10 years ago!

And women can get mad at whats not said, more than whats said.

Historically, changes in families happened over hundreds of years, but in the last 50 years, there has been a revolutionary change in the relationship between men and women, and also with women ic society.

THis happened to a friend of mine who lives in Salt Lake City.

He and his family were driving home from Boise and while on the highway his wife asked him: Do you want a pop?

He said no and kept driving. He noticed that his wife seemed upset, but didn't say anything until they were home.

When he asked he what was wrong, she said "I said I wanted a pop"!

Just sit down, and be watching a football game or mail call or some other manly program, and the wife sits down and says "honey, you know dancing with the stars is on channel whatever".
And you just keep watching the game.

Have any of you seen the TV commercial where a man is in a shower washing and his wife is at the sink and the shower curtin is pulled. You see the guy and hear the wife ask if he liked any of the girls last night. The guy doesn't say a word through the entire commercial but by the end, she is accusing him of liking one of the girls because he hasn't said a thing!

I hate those questions!

"How do I look?" "I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want, what do you think?" "Doesn't she look pretty in that dress?"

All are minefields.

"Does this make me look FAT"? How the hell do you answer that one? RUN away as fast as you can!
