Once I saw this book in a book store entitled "What Men Know about Women" - it was blank.Funny joke, right? Hahah.
It was really brought home to me today how little some men think they know about women. (Notice I said SOME men) I was at the gift store in Sag Harbor, working when two young men came in, looking for a gift for the girl friend of one of them. She wasn't a watch or ring gal, but the boyfriend thought that maybe she would like a necklace (after being told "no, we don't have belly button rings").
He and his friend stood by our jewelery case, looking over all the items, almost in a mood of despair. I suggested shoes - no girl can have enough shoes.
No - she got those for her birthday.
I suggested a variety of other places down the street to look for fun stuff - but the boys returned at least three times, to ponder over our display of jewelery.
My shift was finally over before they decided on what they wanted -but it got me thinking....are women that hard to shop for?
I guess some are - just as some guys are clueless as to what girls want for gifts. I told the young man before I left "She'll love whatever you give her - because it's YOU giving it to her".
He seemed to like that.
Like I said - it's the thought, the gesture - not the gift ;)

The guy is looking for a navel ring in a toy store?
Your final comment to the shoppers should be enough to get you a job in any retail place. Quite nice.
