Men and women think differently.

There's an ad on TV that I've seen several times recently. It's for a national jewelry store chain. It starts with a woman sitting alone in her home on Christmas Eve. She was phoned by her man to inform her that a major snow storm might prevent him from getting home tonight. She hears the sound of a vehicle, and it turns out to be a snowplow that stops in front of her house. She looks out the window, and the man descends from the plow, having obviously moved heaven and earth to get home to her. They embrace, she looks at him with loving eyes, he gives her a gift of jewelry, and they hug again.

I'll bet most women think: "How romantic." As a guy, I was thinking: "He's going to get laid tonight!" Am I right, or do some of you think differently from what I expect for your gender?

We women can think both way, "Awww, how romantic and good, now I'm going to get laid tonight".

I'll bet you're right, and I'll bet that's exactly the idea(s) that the ad agency wanted to inspire! Buy her diamonds, and she'll be your slave forever!

Note to men: MOST women like jewelry......doesn't have to be diamonds, but it should be decent jewelry that will last forever. That's not necessarily a budget breaker, either. Jewelry is forever, even if the relationship ends, you still have that. Perfume is nice, and then it's gone.

I would think "how romantic and sweet" and in the next thought "Boy, is he going to get some tonight!"

I think it's always dangerous to generalize about either sex too much though. The point of the ad is to sell jewelry so that's what they attempt to do with these scenarios.

I think you are right on the money! I total see a man thinking that and he is probably right!

Your right on in both cases.

Men need to have sex to feel loved - Women need to feel loved to have sex.

My theory is that men are driven by sex and that to men, sex = affection. They realize that certain actions result in sex. They try to make their partners happy so that they will have sex which is like a reward for being good.

Women relate sex with love and are more likely to have sex after a show of love by their partner.

If my boyfriend hyjacked a snowplow to be with me during a storm, we wouldn't leave the bedroom for 3 days!

Not always though. My DH doesn't feel that way and I know many women who have indiscriminate sex routinely with no strings attached. So, it's not always about love.

Those generalizations have some basis in truth to them but they certainly don't define everyone of both sexes.

Jenny, men also have a practical side. He would not want to be locked in your bedroom for 3 days without food, water and other neccessities of life. LOL
