    EDIT: It's not chauvinistic at all. Don't say "here, you're being a bi*ch, have some treats". My typical line is "hey, I got you a present" or "I picked us up some ice cream while I was at the store. I thought we could have some tasty dessert". It's all in the delivery.
    Yeah, but you don't know how many feminists that have yelled at me for saying that chocolate is a great upper for women. And for what it matters, I don't really know what would happen to me if I used the first line on my girlfriend, except that you would probably find my head quite a bit away from my body.

    As for asking "What's the matter?" etc. it's still usually a good strategy, you get your earful quicker, and then it's over with. Otherwise you might get a quite bigger beating later for not paying attention etc.
    Luckily my gf is quite great on this particular point, I can't remember her ever yelling at me. Life's good!

    Look- I know none of us has the right answers to any other person's situation. At first in this thread I believe Zib needed some shoulder to lean on with his own frustrating situation, so of course- we poke fun at 'women' in general. I think what Bud said has merit as well as what others have said along the same lines, but again I think it isn't completely accurate. Some women and ALSO men really do have mental or emotional hurdles to overcome and for someone who needs to deal with that on a daily basis it is tough! All this same stuff applies to men, etc. but let's face it- this is a mostly male forum and I wouldn't expect jokes against women NOT to come up. I hope that none of us really are 'male chauvinists'. Do what you need to do Zib.
