My wife has told me of a few observations that she says make her cringe (and her friends cringe) - maybe its a female thing ;D.
Anyway, just for fun she says to me "why do older men like wearing their keys on a key ring on the outside of their jeans / trousers (on the belt holders)?" - she says its like they want everyone to know they have keys because they are sooooo important. So my little anecdotal scientist of a wife reckons you can tell a lot about this (you all know who you are... ;D ;D). She says, you never see women doing it - and i thought.....no you dont!!!! So what does this tells us? Are older men compensating? Are they one step away from buying leather trousers, getting a pony tail, and a Ferrari? Just about to enter mid-life crisis?
Another one is again about men wearing their hands-free ear-piece when they are out of the car. She says boys like to run around and pretend they are in the secret service or the FBI ;D Again she reckons men are trying to make themselves look soooooo important - you never see women doing it.....I have to say, I never have but there are loads of fellas walking about pretending they are guarding the president or something when really they are probably ordering the shopping.... ;D
Her final one is, she reckons men like to use fancy dress parties as an excuse to wear what they have always wanted to - some men just seem to be enjoying themselves too much.... :o
What does this tell us? Anyone else got any purely anecdotal observations like this? Is it a woman vs man thing?
