Women: Are they all a bit mad?
Discussion
The answer is no. But - there is good research evidence that men and women have (in general, not absolutely) different cognitive processes in quite a number of areas (not fashionable with liberal feminists who object on the grounds that saying "different" implies "inferior - but evidence exists) Spacial awareness and colour perception are two examples where there are "normally" differences.

I would probably agree with that.I could cite many examples of arguments between men and women, where the crux of the matter is quite simply a different way of thinking about the situation in hand.

I promise not to do it again if you promise to make a slight effort to make your own post instead of trolleying out ones someone else has made without actually having any idea why.
Deal?
I don't understand the point you're making. So are you saying no-one should post any picture, unless they created it themself and it's completely dissimilar to any post that anyone has made on the thread previously?Deal?
FFS, get a grip. It's a picture. It illustrates the point that was being made.
It's been said to you time and time again. If you don't like something, just keep it to yourself. Try it. You might even like it.
All Im saying is that spamming threads with memes for no other reason than it "someone said cat and this one has a cat in it" or similar is completely pointless.
TOurettes-style posting of memes without any logical reason to do so is just silly.
In this one the meme said exactly the same as what Paddy and Murphy said, hence was completely pointless.
If you dont get my point then fair enough, maybe I completely misunderstand the reason as to why you do it ergo will make an effort to stop getting annoyed by it.

Just been consoling a work colleague who experienced 'mad woman' from his wife last night.
He had a day off yesterday, so during the course of the day he:
Did the shopping.
Changed the bedding on all the beds.
Made supper for everyone.
Did 3 loads of washing and drying on the line/tumble dryer.
Tidied up.
Hoovered.
Washed the kids clothes when they got in from school.
Then sat and watched a bit of tv, at which point his wife came in from work, looked round the house and then shouted at him for 'not ironing the bedding before putting it on'.
He said he felt a horrible sensation between violent fury and deep sadness towards her
But the thing is, so many women are actually the same as above!
So yes, crazy.
I think you've neatly illustrated the uniquely female ability to get all het up / fanny about with things which are of no consequence whatsoever.He had a day off yesterday, so during the course of the day he:

What man irons bedding? (Unless there's a new woman coming over and he's anxious to impress.)
I have a female friend who is always late, for everything, simply because she spends hours angsting over which outfit, which accessories, which jewellery, blah... blah...
Infuriating. Even more so when no-one notices anyway.

g and moaning about it, I can see what you're saying. That said, posting a picture is hardly "spamming" the thread with memes, is it? Yeah, it made the same point as Paddy, but really is it any different to people who post +1, or try to build a ROFL pyramid? I find those as annoying as you obviously find this, but instead of going all keyboard warrior, I roll my eyes, sigh a little and move on. There's just no need. You're actually becoming a bit of a meme in yourself. The same s
t, every single time. Shall we just pretend none of this ever happened and go back to being ships that pass in the night?
Ahhh yet another PH thread slatting us women folk an actually sick to death of these now, change the record ffs what the f

Single / Attractive / Emotionally Stable.
Pick any two.

Can I develop this please? Pick any two.

Taking the above premis as a truth, we can deduce that that if you can only have two, there is still a possibility of Emotionally Stable and Attractive - she just isn't single.
Therefore, has the gentleman (or lady - I am an equal opportunity scientific theorist) struck gold here.
Not necessarily. Unless the woman was born into a couple (a logical nonsense), the above maxim (taken at this point as a logical truth) would still apply - though will not be relevant until the age of 16-18.
As such, moving forward to said individuals 18th birthday (on the assumption that physical and emotional development has made the above maxim relevant), the said individual is still only 2 of single/attractive/emotionally stable.
We established in the introduction that she is Attractive. We have established in the paragraphs preceeding this she is single. And therefore, she is not emotionally stable.
Therefore women MUST, on the basis of a priori logic, be well enodowed with 'the mental' (latent or otherwise).
That said, it could well apply earlier as attractive, single teens seem not to stay single for very long once they start the dating game and rarely do they become so - see also the oft-quoted statement on here about women being like monkeys and not letting go of one branch until they have a grip on the next one, except the branch in this analogy is obviously a penis.
