Help me out here. You men wonder about our shoes. You chaps come up with stuff like gloss anxiety and packing a piece of luggage. You masculine hunks think you are using logic when you tell us about caffeine aggression. You gentlemen think you are the only one that can come up with an intellectually challenging thread.
Here are some questions that might help us help you.
Why do men feel the need to connect with each other via the pat on the derriere?
Why is it so important to men that they band together regularly and behave as sophomores in high school?
Why is it so crucial for men to stick together even when it is obvious that their stance is wrong?
What is the attraction to men in gathering together unshaven, unbathed and hung over in the middle of the woods near a body of water holding a pole with a string that has a paper clip on the end of it?
Why is it fun to assemble time and again in a field in the rain, snow, cold to catch a duck? A deer? A squirrel?

You are assuming we need and desire help. But, stop and think... can you really picture Don patting any guy on the derriere?
These handsome brutes link up in the parking lot guzzling brewskis and chomping down their manly cuisine. How adorable.
I don't pat other guys backsides, I don't behave in a sophmoric fashion, I admit whem I'm wrong or if someone else is, I don't drink and go fishing and I don't hunt.
I might have to start questioning my manhood thanks to you. But right now I have to go...Oprah is about to start.

I'd much rather be in the middle of a lake, yesterday's fish guts on my t-shirt, dragging in a seven pound bass, and looking a half mile toward the cabin on the bank, watching last nite's fire about to die out.

Women often go to the bathroom together for a very good reason. The men they pass on the way (especially the ones grouped together) often can't be trusted NOT to do a little grabbing if they have the opportunity. When females go in groups they are less likely to be grabbed.
So the reason women go to the bathroom together is: feminine protection.
(Obviously having nothing to do with sharing make-up, men advice, or other forms of "protection.") x:D
Most of us don't pat each other anywhere!
We haven't lost that inner child.
You only think we're wrong. We're standing up for what IS right.
The last two questions don't even merit an answer. If you don't understand that, there's no hope. One hint: we're HUNTERs and gatherers who provide for our families.
IN response to #1-Why do women always need to go to the bathroom together?
To #2-Why do women always gather together and dress like sophmores?
To #3-Men wrong? Just who ate the forbidden fruit in the first place?
To #4-To feed you ladies, besides my wife ain't half bad unbathed and hung over..not sure though about the unshaven!
To #5-See #4
Now let us get back to our manly stuff, besides that, the new car smell is fading quickly.
Last year, because "I" needed a bigger quad, he traded off the Kawi and got a 600 Polaris. Then he put a gun rack on it, because, again, "I" needed it. His friends all stood around staring at it high fiving him. Especially when it helped him pull an elk (not his though) out of a canyon last hunting season. All is right with his world.
Now I have a huge bike I can barely make go in a straight line, let alone around curves and over rocks without having the handlebars wrenched out of my hand, and basically being thrown off.
And he wants to know why I don't seem so fond of going quad riding any more.
