Men Everywhere

So, I promised everyone that I would post something funny here after yesterday's post. At first I was nervous. How am I going to come up with something hilarious off the top of my head??? I'm not a stand up comedian!

Well, fortunately for me, and for you, I don't have to come up with my own material because people are throwing it at me in the streets.

Point in case: I walked to the UPS store today because I needed to check my mail. Sadly, there was nothing in my little U-Box, so I was leaving, feeling depressed, when I overheard the following conversation between a young couple:

Girl: "You remember what I was wearing Friday night at the club?"

Boy: "...... uh...... yeah, yeah. I remember."

Girl: *skeptical* "Well, then what was I wearing?"

Boy: "Uh.... you know, that, that one dress. Looked real good on you, babe."

Girl: "You don't remember!"

Boy: "No, no, I do. Yo ass looked real nice."

Girl: "So, you remember what my butt looked like but you can't think what color my dress was? Why are you never paying attention?!?"

That poor guy. This particular couple was black, but that's not really important, because right now, millions of couples from every ethnicity, culture, country and generation are having this conversation. Pure and simple, ladies: men everywhere are drawing a blank on what their girlfriend wore last Friday night.

It's because we have too many clothes. They can't keep track of all of that, and if they can, they do it somewhere deep in their subconscious, not easily recalled at the drop of a pin. So don't hate on your guy if he can't tell you the shade of magenta of the blouse that you wore on your first date five months ago; their brains just work differently.

That being said, I would like to make an exception: if the guy in question happens to be gay, chances are he remembers exactly what shade of magenta you were wearing and why it didn't work with the lipstick you'd chosen.

Boy 1: "Do you remember what I was wearing Friday night at the club?"

Boy 2: "Yes, I remember what you were wearing. And I remember those shoes you were wearing, too." *shakes head* "Unh-uh."
