Here are a few examples...Toilet paper: I understand you have to wipe after you urinate, but why wrap the toilet paper around your hand ten times like you're trying to keep your hand warm with a toilet paper glove? I've shared a bathroom with women before and have seen this first hand.Weddings: Women go all out and waste so much money on weddings. A wedding is supposed to represent two people's love for each other, not the woman's love for money and irrational spending of it.Cell phones: Women talk on cell phones until the last second possible, letting the battery die. It's not good for lithium batteries to keep dying like that!Water: Women allow the water to run while brushing their teeth, doing dishes, etc. It doesn't need to run the whole time. The whole country is in DANGER of RUNNING OUT of WATER!Food: I've worked jobs as a busser before and have seen that it's mostly women who leave a ton of food behind. Don't waste money on what you can't eat!To the first person that replied: CONSERVATION, not conversation. Two totally different things. Please read a dictionary.I know dishes must be rinsed, but the water shouldn't be left running the entire time, especially not while the dishwasher is being opened the the dish is being placed in it.haha L: We men prefer to be clean too. I even use baby wipes to make sure my butt is immaculate!Fletcher t: Exactly! I can't believe a woman would say she feels safer in an SUV. It has been shown for years that SUVs are in fact more dangerous. You have much more of a chance of tipping over in an SUV. They're as bad as Jeeps.needtostop: Obesity is a problem in the U.S., but so is anorexia. Restaurants usually offer smaller portions so that you don't have to be wasteful. Like many women who have answered this have said they do, bring home the leftovers.stephanie b: Has nothing to do with being laid. I took a vow of celibacy a couple years ago and never looked back. I don't plan on "getting laid" in a long time, not until I find a decent woman.APlaceCalledVERTIGO: No, I'm not joking. This is meant to be a serious question. YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!...sorry, I couldn't help making fun of U2!Priscilla B, I am too interested. I read everything you said. I didn't mean to say the whole country was in danger of running out of water, just many parts of it. I too also know what it's like to go to sleep hungry many nights. Most of my childhood was like that. I didn't meancleaning dishes in their own filth, I meant turning off the water while scrubbing and while putting them in the dishwasher, which you said you do, so that's good for you. You do seem to have a sense of conservation.Melastic, I don't call women fatasses for eating. It makes me happy to see women ACTUALLY eating. Too many women worry about their weight and are too scared to eat anything. Oh, and thanks for the helpful advice. I will definitely take that into consideration, or should I say inhalation..  |

| maybe its just because we get nervous around men or around new people. if you hate it when a girl doesn't say anything make sure that you say something. compliment something she wearing. that normally gets a woman to talk. |

| You're asking them to think of the world beyond themselves or them being at the center of it. Not going to happen. If they aren't more important than anyone or anything else, especially a man, then to them that is insane.Check the previous answer which suggests you compliment her for an example of what I just wrote. You are being asked to place her at the center, for the focus to be placed on her, in an effort to motivate her.Edit: Yep, thumbs down from all of the women who don't like seeing themselves in my answer.The only thing on your list that makes any kind of sense to me why the woman does it is Weddings. If someone personally invests a lot in something, if they have a largely vested interest in it, then they are less inclined to let go of it easily if things turn a little sour. So if the woman and/or her family has placed a lot of effort and money into the weeding, then she is more inclined to try to make the marriage work and not give up on it so easily. |

Shoot us all now!If men ruled the world, there would be:- No global warming- Lots of forest and more animals roaming- more natural resources- more water- more lithium batteries- a lot less weddings- and a lot more Toliet Paper!You men are so special!: )xoxox: ) |

| Toilet Paper : I don't do that. I guess I'm not a "normal" woman.Weddings : HAH! I watch these idiots on tv spend their husband or mother's money and want to puke. I plan to have a small wedding with close family and friends only -- and trust me, the day won't be about me alone.Cell Phones : I try not to let my battery die, I get it home and charge it and speak to whomever on my home phone instead.Water : Uh, you need to rinse your dishes don't you? And I turn the tap off when brushing my teeth, I use a cup instead.Food : I don't waste food. If I order a meal I intend on being able to finish it. If you're talking about waif thin ladies who eat a tomato, then that's not me. I don't weigh 300 pounds, either.GENERALIZATIONS. |

| You're overgeneralizing. Maybe you should start hanging with a different crowd of women. |

| Guess I'm an exception.Don't use a ton of tp.No fancy wedding for us. We eloped to the courthouse.Own a cell but rarely use it. Bought one due to 9/11 for emergencies.I turn the h2o off during brushing and take short showers.I don't waste food. What I don't eat at a restaurant, I take home and have 1 or 2 more meals from it.☺ |

| Men are wasteful too so get off your high horse. It's a woman's right to have a nice wedding--it's an important event. You want to conserve toilet paper? Then use pine cones to wipe your butt, we women prefer to be clean. Sometimes the food just sucks, probably because you were involved in making it! Get a life. |

| The same goes for women who claim "I feel safe driving my SUV." This is while she is gabbing on the cell phone, painting her nails, changing her granny rag, and suckling her young behind the wheel. While I admire multi-tasking, this is a dangerous situation to say the least. |

| Your experience with women must be rather limited. This behavior is also known as inconsiderate and without foresight. These are characteristics both women and men have. As a woman, I've had to teach my guy to turn off the water while brushing. As for food on plates, well, that's because most of us Americans SHOULD. There's an obesity problem in this country and the restaurants aren't helping with their enormous portions. Get out more and stop making sweeping complaints about all females, it gets REALLY old. |

| 1. I use 3 sheets of toilet paper when I urinate. Maybe 7 sheets when I have a bowel movement.2. My hubby & I got married by a Justice of the Peace because I thought it was a huge waste of money to have a large wedding.3. I do not own a cellphone -- they are a waste4. I NEVER leave my water running. In fact I have 3 rainbarrels in my yard to help conserve water5. I cannot control the size of food portions when I eat in a restaurant. Whenever possible, I take the leftovers home for another meal.I have a great sense of Conservation |

| You simply have not met or lived with a woman who IS a conservationist. Tsk, tsk, shall I make a list of male generalizations? |

| First of all I think you're acting like a sexist pig. Secondly I have no idea who these women are that you're getting this idea from but most "normal" women are NOT like this.I use just enough toilet paper so that my hand won't break though while wiping!As far as running water, I'm the water nazi in the house. I constantly tell my husband and kids not to leave the water run.if I do not eat my meal, I take it home with me as leftovers.You my friend, are making general sweeping statements about women. Very rude and judgemental of you. |
