Here's another example: I decided to help Kat with the laundry yesterday since I'm laundry spastic and figured I fold some towels, couldn't screw up too badly there? We keep them on an open shelf outside the shower and naturally, we have big and smaller ones.

I folded what I thought was all the big ones to put on the bottom of the stack... and then folded the smaller ones... I put them on the shelf - then, a big another big towel popped up from somewhere... I thought about re-arranging all of them to make it correct but since it was a reach and they looked so nice - I didn't want to disturb them... so I put the big towel on top of the smaller ones. It looked pretty precarious, like a tower of towels about to fall... but, I figured I'd be taking a shower soon and take care of that big one on top.

Kat walks into the bathroom today and starts laughing out loud... I say, 'What now?'... I'd already forgotten about it... lol I'm thinking she's lucky that she didn't find all the towels on the floor.

This morning my lovely Kat had just woken up and we sit in the living room and have coffee and talk, etc. before we start our day. She keeps a box of kleenex on the end table in which I used the last one before she got there this morning. When she went to reach for one, there was just an empty box.

I immediately got up and offered to go to the bathroom to get her some toilet paper to blow her nose with. She corrected me by saying that there were kleenex in the bedroom. I went in there and saw the silver, metal box that holds the kleenex and decided to bring the whole thing. She laughs as I hand it to her and says... 'typical guy'.

I'm confused, I don't know what I've done, what's she talking about? She points out that a femme would have brought another femme 3 or 4 of the tissues through the midair to her. I thinking - 'really, they would have?' To transport the kleenex this way just didn't occur to me. And, I guess the more feminine mind would not have thought to blow their nose on the toilet paper to begin with?

I find the differences amusing.

I too have seen this with many "Femme" ladies. I'm just pissing in the wind but using your example, I think the women feel guys would have just grabbed the box without thinking about grabbing the needed amount. Kind of like the "Dur" effect I guess? I'm not sure. Mmm I shall investigate this further.

I am a traditional style ladygent, and I get this all the time from my femme partner and even straight women o.O, It's like they DON'T want to be respected which leads into society washing out decency towards women, or they are not used to it.

I'm rambling. Slap me next time and i'll stop.

I think THIS is a perfectionist querk. ALL of the women in my family are like this. If you're going to help fold laundry, set what you have done right in front of them but NOT ON THE OTHER CLOTHES. Dear god, you'll hear if it's the wrong place.
