Density

We can’t afford not to be dense.

Girls often accuse guys of being dense. That we don’t see the signs, don’t get the message. We are here to tell womankind that we men wish we didn’t have to be dense. But we do.

See, if guys were as transparent as girls and let that show, we’d be in all kinds of trouble. If I thought someone was “into me” every time she smiled at me, we’d be disappointed later when we found out the truth. If the signs were more serious, we might get rather hurt further down the line when things fall apart. So, we purposely don’t let ourselves get too wrapped up in the subtle signs, even when we want to believe they’re true. We wait to make sure it’s all real before we let it get to us, because if it’s not, it won’t be fun later on.  The point is, guys are dense on purpose, so that every little thing doesn’t bother us to an extreme. In short…

We can’t afford not to be dense.

Girls, keep this in mind next time you think guys are stupid and dense!

…little laughings…

Girls giggle, real men chuckle.

So we were all at a Wendys eating lunch a few hours before going to a ball.  One of us had forgotten his wallet and had to split a ten with one of the others.  We had also just agreed to meet up with some friends who were waiting for us in a nearby parkinglot, but we ended up just going straight to Wendys without meeting them.  Oops.  Almost ate without ‘em.  Close call…

So by now, we’re all slightly fatigued, excited, and hungry.  That’s when this mannism came to light!  We were cracking jokes and stuff, as usual.  Us guys were on one side of the table and the girls on the other.  Both groups would talk amongst themselves on occasion and the others would hear bits and pieces such as “butcher the bunny.”  One of the girls asked what we were giggling about.  But we weren’t giggling.  Giggling sounds like ”hee hee hee!”  That’s not manly.  Men’s little laughs sound like “heh heh heh!”  It’s called chuckling, and it’s manly…

Girls giggle, real men chuckle.

…We didn’t tell them what we were chuckling about.  And we aren’t going to tell you either.
