Why can't men see the house is a mess? Why do men watch TV instead of talking about what's bothering them? Why do men get such a kick out of watching mindless action films? Why can men remember the names of football players, who scored and when, but not yesterday's conversation? Why do men enjoy racing their cars through red lights?
