INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my THursday THirteen #9. I’m still thouroughly enjoying my participation in this meme. It’s good fun. And I’d also like to thank THursday THirteen for featuring me last week as a newbie. It was much appreciated.
Over the last few weeks I’ve dealt with some weighty issues, so this week I decided on an occasional foray into the lighter post. I hope this one gives you a laugh or two. If not, it wasn’t my fault. Someone made me do it

COUNTDOWN

13. Men are not from Mars. They’re from their mothers. So whatever the opposite sex think of them, it’s their fault!

12. Men are far superior to women. This is an undeniable fact, proved by their physical make-up. Men, you see, can aim.

11. All men are super-heroes. This is defined by culture. After all, most fictional super-heroes are men. I guess women look sillier with their knickers on the outside.

10. For balance, a man should always retain an inner child. This makes us fun, and is what women like. I know women complain about this sometimes, but you can’t have it both ways.

9. Men are great lovers. This is patently obvious to any man who looks in the mirror. Maybe that’s why we take care of it ourselves so often.

8. Men do not have a feminine side. The New Man is a myth. It is a fad that could so easily change when women get bored enough.

7. A man is always right. Women will no doubt disagree. You do? As I said, a man is always right.

6. Men are said to start all wars. This is blatantly wrong, as proved by history. Wars are always started by politicians.

5. A man is a perfect handyman. He can fix anything. He proves this by fixing it over and over again.

4. Men are often said to be lazy. This is blatantly unfair. We simply have to rest our brain more often through over-use.

3. Men are immediate experts in whatever they do. This is drummed into children by women through statements such as ‘wait ‘til your father gets home’, and ‘ask your dad.’

2. All men require mothering. All women realize this. That’s why you all had Teddy Bears as children. To practice.

1. Women often dislike their mothers-in-law. Bearing in mind the point above, it is a fact that men seek out characteristics of their mother in choosing a partner. Oh dear!
