My wife and I have been married for almost three years now, and in that time, I've realized that I've corrupted her a great deal. A true scholar, my wife loves to read. And she reads a large variety of subject, with psychology being the most popular. But in the time we've been married I've also got her hooked on several different TV shows and Movies. Not always the ones I like (Star Wars and Buffy are still a little out of her reach), but she still consume far more television now than she did. As for me, if anything I read less than I used to. Oh well.
After three years, we've both learned a lot about each other and how to get along. But there are still something things that reside in one person's realm of knowledge. For instance- we've had a DVD player for the entire course of our marriage, but my wife still can't work the remote. I, on the other hand, still can't figure out the difference between shampoo and conditioner.
This got me to thinking- perhaps there are a lot of content areas that are exclusive to one gender. And so I've decided to put together a book, or encylcopedia, if you will, of the content that men wish women knew, such as how to work a cellphone or remote, the difference between different superheroes, the different generation of game consoles, the difference between star wars and star trek, definitions and explanations of different pop icons such as the transformers, Voltron, Gummi bears, and Darkwing duck. I think it'd be fun, and useful.
So, if anyone reading this has any ideas of content they think should be added, please let me know. After all, why not prove once and for all just how petty and uncomplicated men are once and for all?

things to be put in the book.
1) Why toys are more fun still in the package.
2) Why toys are still cool in all their diffrent forms ie. Cars( real, or tonka) action figures, lego's, bulldosiers etc.
3) why seeing the film opening night is importaint enough to go to a midnight show.
well thats all i can come up with on the fly.
Oh yeah and Gummy Bears will forever rule the world. After all they are the masterminds behind the vast right wing conspiracy.
How about why it's important to use a turn signal and other proper ettiquette while driving a car? I know not all women have this problem (my wife is getting better) and some men do, but predominantly, after I've just finished calling a driver an S.O.B., I'll take a second look and realize I should have left off the S.O. (I have trained myself to assume it's a guy, just to avoid sounding sexist).
Analytical Problem-solving (as opposed to just talking about the problem, then not doing anything about it [a.k.a. "enduring"]) would also be very helpful for women to learn, but I'm not holding my breath.
