The answers were:

1. "They always ask you, 'is she prettier than me?'" And they are talking about women on TV, such as Kim Kardashian, Jenny McCarthy, or some other super-voluptuous celebrity/one-time Playboy Playmate/supermodel/etc etc etc.

A question, they say, for which there is no right answer. If you say "no," they accuse you of lying. If you say "yes," they get mad at you.

2. "They're irrational. They will find the dumbest and oddest reasons to get mad at you and yet they'll continue to be mad even if you show them you did nothing to earn their anger."

Case in point: one of the guys said that twice, his wife woke up extremely angry at him. He'd ask, "what's wrong?" She would say, "you cheated on me!" Only for her to then realize it was a ..... dream.

3. They go crazy on you. They wouldn't give examples, but they all said, "all women are crazy. If you think you met one who isn't, move in with her and you'll see it."

LOL... what a fun night.

(this is all what happened, ladies, and please note that this was posted in good fun. )
Wow...your friends sound like rocket scientists! In their defense, hopefully, they had a few before they came up with that. Their description of women sound like 16 year old girls, or younger.

Unlike their marriages, I suppose.

I thought the same thing. I can't believe anyone over the age of 18 would actually talk like that.

That's what I always say. We're all crazy--the trick is to find the brand of crazy (in a partner) that you can live with.

Well, other than the gentleman who is getting divorced, the two men who are married are very happily married. One has four children, a picture of whom he proudly showed us; the other is young and has a beautiful toddler as well as a wife whom he spoke highly of, using qualifiers such as "great" and "hot." I guess they're having plenty of fun in their marriages despite the quirkiness that comes with it.

Different strokes. Of course, I don't like generalizations, but it's certainly not surprising.

Have you ever asked your friends, "Gentlemen, what do love about your wives?"

He who is looking for gutters, will find only gutters.

Weird. Being married to a crazy, irrational, jealous person doesn't appeal to me. Must be my crazy, irrational self.

One of the things I love best about my husband is that he doesn't talk **** about me behind my back. And I do the same for him. We're crazy that way.
