It’s Friday, and that means answer time! For those of you who have commented with questions from previous ManFAQs, thank you. I’m adding yours to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years, and I will answer them all in turn – to continue to demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler. Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man. What could go wrong?
Question: Do you have your own version of PMS that makes you moody?
Answer: See the note about why we’re such adrenaline junkies. When we crash from that rush – or from sex, in that post-coital haze of dopamine and delirium – we do get cranky, assuming we lived through whatever we found so exciting. It’s like our biorhythms, except harder to plot, less accurate, and less useful. Try chocolate or beer. Also, taking your clothes off will usually brighten our day. Showing up wearing nothing but a cold six-pack will always get us out of that funk!

Question: Does it do your ego good when women ask you to do things like opening the jar of pickles or killing the bug, which we are perfectly capable of doing ourselves, or would you rather us be self-sufficient?
Answer: Depends on proximity. If we’re there already, we love showing off how macho we are to the gentler sex. If you want me to open the pickles or squash the bug while I’m watching the game or catching a nap, please work on the self-sufficiency thing. Or at least bring it with you for me to open or kill or whatever. And why don’t you grab me a beer as long as you’re coming over here anyway? Thanks, hon!

Question: When you meet a woman for the first time, seriously, what is the first thing you notice? Is it a stereotype that the first thing is really the two things below the chin and above the belt?
Answer: Depends on the size. If they’re much bigger or much smaller than we expect, yeah, that’s probably the first thing we see. Next your hair, again depending on size. To your credit, mostly the first thing(s) we notice are whatever you’ve personally decided to highlight today. Your short skirts, high heels, purple hair highlights, nail polish, piercings, etc – it works. If today’s highlight movie reel is Central Cleavage starring the Gazonga twins, by golly that’s what we’re going to notice. If you’re trying to draw attention to part of your body, our eyes will go where you direct them. We’re pretty trainable like that.

Question: Why do they not admit their shortcomings? My man is so anti-Mr. Fix-it that I get insanely worried when my he gets within 20 feet of the toolbox. Just admit that you cannot do something so I can let the landlord know before you seriously break it!
Answer: This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in action. If you weren’t watching, we’d call someone. Or more likely, we’d just leave it broken. If you didn’t need it all of last night, it’s probably not that important. But, since you’re there, we feel that we need to remind you that we’re better, more manly, more suitable as a mating partner than the maintenance guy – not just in bed, but everywhere. After all, if he tried doing my job, he’d get fired and probably sued, or killed. But we could do his job, you betcha. “Hey ya’ll, watch this!”
The best part of this is the look on our faces when we give in, admit that we’re not going to get around to whatever that is – not that we couldn’t, mind you, we’re just too busy – and when the professional comes to make it all better, it’s a woman. Most of us just totally short-circuit, particularly if she’s cute.

Question: I want to know if the ability to relax amid clutter and dust is acquired or inborn. If acquired, how can women cultivate it…i.e. is there a 10-step program? Seriously, I would absolutely love to perfect my skill in this area. I think out of level 1 to 10 I’m at about a 6, and it isn’t enough. I want to achieve real man status on this one.
Answer: First, you need to drink more. No no, more than that. Make yourself a good Cosmo and splash some around – you’ll need a “starter mess” to get used to. Then find yourself some good chocolate; you know you deserve it. OK, deep breath, now exhale. Put the wrapper on the floor. Just drop it. Deep cleansing breath, the first step can be the hardest. Just let the wrapper fall. Let it go.
Someone else will pick it up eventually; that someone else might even be you, several hours from now, but that person’s not here yet. Did you just finish that Cosmo? Have another drink. Good. Now, find a nice comfy chair where you can still see that candy bar wrapper on the floor. Sit down, eat the chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmm, it’s good, isn’t it? You’re going to relax for a moment, just eating the chocolate, taunting that mess over there with it. You’re getting the hang of this! Now remember, if anyone walks in, you were just in the middle of cleaning up. Literally in the middle of cleaning. You were just taking a break for a minute. You were going to get to back to it real soon.
Mmmmm, chocolate.

This week is a two-fer, since the topics are so closely related.
——————————————————————————–
Question 1: Why can’t you put the clothes IN the hamper? You can sure throw them on the floor NEXT to it – what is the aversion to IN the hamper?
Answer 1: There’s no glory, no incentive. If you put a backboard on it, he’ll try harder – no man can resist taking a fadeaway jockstrap jump-shot as he’s skinnying out of his skivvies. Mind you, we’re not all Michael Jordan – but the percentage of clothes in the hamper versus next to it will go up if there’s a backboard.

Question 2: Why do you leave your underwear on the bathroom floor after taking a shower? Do you think I have nothing better to do than pick up after you?
Answer 2: Your second question could have ended at the third word, and the answer would still be a resounding NO. He just got out of the shower, and he’s naked. Naked men do *very* little thinking.

Question: Why are men such adrenaline junkies?
Answer: Ah, a TOUGH question. Why is it that the two most common sets of “last words” that men say just before they die are “oh shit” and, running a close second, “Hey ya’ll, watch this!” In large part, this is showmanship. It’s not just the chemical adrenaline rush – although that’s a big part of it.
It’s the audience. If you weren’t watching, we’d probably be content to scratch our balls and look at something shiny on television. But we know you or someone like you will be looking, or it might be another guy watching. If it’s you, we want you to see how tough, how brave we are – something deep in our genetic code thinks you’ll be impressed, and the other guys intimidated. Never mind that quit working about 8,000 years ago. (Well, it quit working on women. Most guys are still intimidated when we see another guy do something really crazy and live through it.)
Then, once you’ve done it, you find out what a great rush it is. Like most drugs, you need more to reach that high a second time, so you have to do something crazier! This is why the most hard core adrenaline junkies don’t breed often – they crash into something before they impress enough women.

This week is a two-fer, since the topics are so closely related.
——————————————————————————–
Question 1: Why do men have to wring out their penis after a shower? Does it really suck up water like a sponge?
Answer 1: Nope. We only do that when you’re looking, just to make sure you’re thinking about it. “Hey, hey, look what I found!” only works once, twice if we’re lucky – this way you’re wondering about the one part of our bodies we *want* you wondering about most of the day. Call it an investment.
________________________
Question 2: Why do they keep their hands in their pants in public?
Answer 2: Again, we only do that when you’re looking, so you’ll think about sex more often. Most of us would just hang it out there, but you keep calling the police.

Question: I have always wondered how is it that when looking for something, men can never seem to find it? Why don’t they actually move other items to look for whatever it is they are seeking? My man did this at least 3 times this weekend! I would walk over, move 1 piece of paper and there it is! Shocking!
Answer: As one of the great imponderables, this has been vexing the gentler gender for ages. Some ascribe it to “Male Searching Syndrome,” which provides a name but not an answer, and some assume arrogance – the expectation that a man’s needs should be served at every moment in time. The Bottom Line: If he can’t find your G-Spot when he’s laying right on top of you, why would you think he can find anything else?

This week is a three-for-one special, since the topics are so closely related.
Question 1: Do you talk to your friends about what we do in bed? (answer at your own risk).
Answer 1: If the subject comes up at all, you can be assured that we don’t tell the truth. Since we all know that none of us are going to tell the truth on the topic, mostly it doesn’t come up.
________________________
Question 2: Are you glad you got married or do you miss the single life sometimes?
Answer 2: There is a myth that married men don’t have sex as often as single men. This is a myth that married men perpetuate to keep single men from poaching their wives. There are no good reasons to be single.
________________________
Question 3: Why do they always want sex at the most inopportune times? e.g.,…when I’m getting ready for work/appt…etc. He has 12 other hours of the day to want some but only gets horny when I’m getting ready to leave?
Answer 3: If by “inopportune” you mean “when you’re changing clothes,” I suggest you read your question again, tilting your head to the side this time. He doesn’t get horny when you’re leaving; he gets horny when he sees you half naked. So do several other guys – fix your blinds.
