Oh, err… right! Well, you have at least one feminine ‘trait’, namely the left/right mixed-upedness. Possibly.

(please don’t hurt me)

I didn’t think the socks thing was particularly weird although it’s raised eyebrows when I’ve mentioned it before. It’s just laziness of a sort while being totally practical in application.

Matthew - it might be possible to describe me as feminine. I don’t know - you’ll have to ask someone who knows me. Starting off the description as a 6′2″ ex-rugby player who needs to have a shave and get his back waxed is probably an indication that I’m not.

You’re all very weird, but not as weird as me.

According to ‘Why Men Don’t Listen And Women Can’t Read Maps‘, the left/right difficulty is normally more prevalent in women than men, due to the women being less adept at spacial awareness than men (I’m not slighting women, just quoting SCIENTIFIC FACT). It’s also common among more feminine men and also some gay men. Would you describe yourself as slightly feminine Tom? My other half suffers from the same affliction. She also can’t sit in a room with the door closed, which is stranger than wanting it closed I think!

No, the socks thing isn’t uncommon - I kind of do it too.

However, if Herself is sorting the laundry (we tend to share crappy jobs like that) she still manages to pair up one of hers with one of mine, with predictable comedy results…

Oh I do the black socks thing too. Except, I tend to buy them in batches of 14 pairs, all from the same shop so they’re definitely DEFINITELY all the same, and then I go and chuck all the older, more faded ones out.

And now I’m starting to feel very, very weird! :-0
