Or at least my hubby is. Sometimes men just don't get us. Do you have any silly guy stories?

This morning, I was talking to my husband about how this great new lip gloss came out that I just love. (I'm sure he really cared.) Well, being the sweetie he is, he was trying to stay tuned in the conversation.
He goes "Oh, it tastes good?"
I was like "I don't know."
"When you eat it, does it taste ok?"
"I don't taste it, Mike."
"What flavor is it?"
"It isn't flavored."
"Then how is it good if it has no flavor? Does it smell good?"
"No. It's good because it stays on and I like the colors."
Frustrated... "I don't understand you women. Why would you buy something to put on your lips that you can't eat?"
I was cracking up because he was so sincere. He honestly didn't get it.

Another time, I came home with a new hair color. My friend had added auburn and blond streaks into my hair.
I said "How do you like this color?"
"It looks really pretty, but she messed up."
"Where?"
"All over."
"What do you mean she messed up, Mike?"
"She missed all kinds of spots...there are all these uneven spots that she missed. They're still yellow and red."
"Those are my streaks, they're supposed to be there."
"On purpose? She messed up on purpose?!"
"It's not a mess up, that's the trend."
"You paid her to mess your hair up? It doesn't even look natural, how can it be a trend? You can tell that it's dyed with those spots."
"Those spots are called streaks."
"Won't you be embarrassed when people find out that you dye your hair?"
"No, Mike. We all dye our hair."
"Ummm ok. I still don't get why you paid her to mess your hair up on purpose. I can't believe how many spots she missed."
*edit* I just remembered, he called them 'stripes' not 'spots'.
