In the never ending saga of life, men and women continue to prove themselves different from one another.
Maybe you’ve noticed.
I have to admit that frequently I think men are differenter than women. But, there is an area where we girls are definitely the differenter sex:
Compliments.
Why can’t we take a compliment?
Why do we ladies so frequently act like someone is going to rip-off our fingernails and light us on fire if we even seem to accept the praises of another human being?
Why do guys seem to be immune to this? How come most men have no trouble, not only accepting a compliment, but magnifying it once they’ve caught it?
…Why if I say to a guy, “Your hair looks nice,” will he say, “Thanks! I’m just thankful I have some! I washed it this morning. I just got it cut.”…
…But, if you say, “Your hair looks nice,” to one of us lady-folk we say: I haven’t washed it. It’s totally dried out. It’s so oily. I have split ends. It’s frizzing. It’s flat. I’m getting dandruff. My roots are showing. This style makes my face look fat. I should have plucked my eyebrows and waxed my lip. I should just shave my head….
