men

My husband’s been on a tear around the house lately. I woke up Sunday morning to his brave proclamation that, despite having decided on a colour or doing any prep, today we were painting the front porch. Today!

Frustrating. Annoying. Unfair. That’s how most women feel about the fact that men appear to have the magical ability to shed weight rapidly and with seemingly less effort.

‘I don’t have time for a relationship. I need to focus on my career.’ It’s a phrase many women have uttered after a painful breakup, a foul first date, or simply when asked by the 115th time by her mother, grandmother and married friends why she’s still on her own.

We make sense of the world through our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. But do men and women rely more heavily on one sense than another, and by extension, make sense of the world differently?

It’s hard to put too much faith in the aesthetic preferences of a creature that considers Dockers and a golf shirt a good look.
