TEN THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT WOMEN

By Maria Bartiromo, Esquire magazine, 11/17/2004

1. All women can easily locate the telephone number of any ex-boyfriend.
2. We understand "Futures and options" better than you do.
3. Even when we're blindfolded, even when you're wearing sunglasses, even in the pitch black of night, we can always tell is you just ogled another woman.
4. Otis Redding said it perfectly: Try a little tenderness.
5. You will never know the actual number of men she's been with. And it's probably better that way.
6. Through a little practice and thousands of years of evolution, the female species has mastered the art of convincing men that it was you, not us, who made the last decision.
7. Making us wait for your call does not make us more interested; it just makes you seem painfully slow.
8. When you tell a woman not to worry her pretty little head" about it, be prepared to watch her pretty little tail walk out the door.
9. We're good at forgiving. Not so god about forgetting.
10. When we predict rapid growth and explosive performance, we may not be talking about your stock portfolio.
