Well I guess I'm not a real woman either - and I've lived with a man longer than I should admit to.

1. NAMES: I call people whatever they tell me they want to be called
2. EATING OUT: The calculator bit drives me nuts - divide the total by the number of people and deal with it.
3. MONEY: Having grown up relatively poor - I like sales but only if I need something
4. BATHROOMS: I don't think I could identify 337 female items in a bathroom - let alone fit them in my bathroom.
5. ARGUMENTS: Bullsh!t
6. CATS: I love cats but I never had a cat until after I met my husband. He had always had a cat and now so do we.
7. FUTURE: Everybody worries about the future.
8. SUCCESS: I don't spend my husbands money exclusively - for years I actually made more money than he did.
9. MARRIAGE: Everyone goes into marriage with expectation that don't get met.
10. DRESSING UP: I have a hard time "dressing up" (as defined for a woman) even for weddings and funerals. I'm an engineer - I live in jeans and kahkis - some more dressy than others.
11. NATURAL: If you don't wear a ton of make up - you look the same at any time except for having to comb your hair.
12. OFFSPRING: Nah - a good father knows his kids - maybe not every detail (but I don't know every detail either thank god)
13. FINAL THOUGHT: Both genders can be picky about remembering mistakes. Keep in mind that you won't remember somones every failing if you didn't care about them in the first place.
