When you are the only woman in an office bursting at the seams with men, you can’t help but marvel at the difference between the genders.
Men are different from women.
I mean like totally!
- For instance, they don’t care if someone else takes their chair. I even conducted an experiment so I know I’m not lying. When they were off for their lunch, I randomly re-arranged their chairs. When they came back, they sat down, and went to work. No fire-works. No shocked exclamations.
That’s how strange men are.
Women would have felt something different in a jiffy, exclaimed loudly and gone about sitting on one chair after another till they found the one that was theirs.
- Men don’t decorate their work-space. No posters, no gem-stone stickers on their computers, no pictures of their dogs, no colorful pen-stands, no nothing.
- When men work, they don’t talk. They walk in, remove their wallets from their back-pockets, lay that on the table and start pounding away at the computer.
- Men don’t care for cushions. If the world was filled with just men, there wouldn’t be any cushions in it. And nothing frilly and fluffy either. They also don’t care to carry chap-sticks and hand-creams.
- Men answer questions directly and to the point.
- They offer to share their food with you.
(I don’t.)
- When you take photos of men, they gamely pose and let you get on with it. There’s no ‘I’m having a bad hair day!’ or ‘Let me powder my face first!’ wails.
- They flatten themselves against the walls when you pass them on a narrow hallway.
- When you ask them technical questions they use the, ‘I’m talking to a special-needs-6-year-old’ voice to explain.
- They don’t interrupt each other when they talk.
- No matter what they wear, all their clothes look the same.
- Their phones do a lot more stuff than mine and look fancier too.
- They are better at hiding Facebook/G-talk on their computers.
