An Essential Difference Between The Sexes

[poliphilo]

The matriarchs have consulted together and the big family Christmas do- which we were supposed to be hosting- has been called off-  because of snow- which means we have rather a lot of potato hash to eat.

Oh- and (cheerful thought) rather a lot of wine to drink.
 
Here's a major difference between men and women. Women love these affairs- with finger food being passed around and the generations tolerating one another and grandma sat in the corner receiving homage- and men detest them. At least, that's the case in our family. How about yours?

Yes but, I think one of the reasons that statistically older men die very quickly when widowed is because they do actually need the family and social contacts that women maintain for them, and that often disappear once a wife has died. Boring, but vital, I would say.

Good point.

I try not to be a typical man- but there's no fighting against chromosomes- or whatever it is that makes the difference.
