Are Men Really As Stupid As They Seem?

Considering that I have two sons, I would like the theroy that men are stupid prove to be untrue. However, no matter what man that comes to mind has shown me that they are an idiot in one way or another. Famous men are included in my observation as well. I don't want to offend anybody so the famous men that come to mind will remain nameless. Does anyone have an answer as well as an example of a stupid act of a man?

So you wanna hear a stupid act of a man. That won't be hard. Let me tell you about one of my ex's. Almost 10 years ago now I dated this guy. At the time I had just bought a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. I would often let him convince me to switch cars because he needed a bigger car for whatever reason(Can't remember why). Well he had another girlfriend on the side. The way we found out about each other was because she was going through my glove compartment and found my name and phone number on my registration and insurance papers. She called me up and we arranged to meet up at the bar where he hung out. When he came through the doors and saw up sitting together, he nearly went "poop" on himself. How dumb could he have been?

Most men are idiots, it's true. Hopefully your sons will turn out to be one of the few that aren't. I can think of many times when guys have been idiots. None of them are sticking out in my head at the moment. I'll get back to you when I can think of a good, specific incident.

I agree. I just am not sure they'll be any different. They do a bunch of dumb stuff too. They hide their dirty underwear under their mattresses, and they take their coats off and loose them. How does someone loose their coat in their own house? So do you see what I mean? But I've gotta love them. Thanks again!

I've seen men do some pretty stupid things. I've seen one make long distance calls to his girlfriend, not realizing that the charges would show up on the phone bill that I would be paying. I've seen one ignore the $50 child support payments until he was forced to make a huge payment or go to jail. I've seen many other stupid acts from men who obviously weren't thinking far enough in advance to realize the consequences of their actions. I have also seen some men who put at least some thought into some of the things they do. I have seen at least one lawyer who successfully managed to get the man who slashed eighteen of my tires off with only a $500 fine. I won't say that the man who slashed the tires wasn't pretty stupid, I guess he must have put some thought into it since he slashed these tires a few at a time over the period of over a month before the police caught him, despite the fact that I told them who was doing it. Anyway, some men are smarter than others are, and there is hope for even those men that have a stupid side to them. I don't think they are all really stupid. They just do stupid things, and that makes them appear to be stupid.

Kelly, I get what you mean. But I still think they all are stupid in a sense. My husband is going to be a doctor soon so I know he has book smarts. However, although I do think he is "silly" I won't call him stupid. Let me explain. Normally I handle the money in our house. He does carry his bank card but he ususally lets me know if is going to use it or whatever. So yesterday, we went out to dinner. I gave him the cash to hold since I was using my cruthches. When it came time to pay the bill, he pulls all this money out, it was all over the table and everything. He had knots of singles, fives, and twenties. I believe he even had a hundred dollar bill. Money was everywhere. I couldn't believe him. Well when I asked him why did he bring so much cash with him he says to me "I didn't know how much you wanted me to bring". He and I laugh at each other all the time so I couldn't do anything but laugh. I didn't even tell him he looked like an eight year old with his life savings in his pocket trying to buy a stick of gum. I guess this is just one of the silly/stupid things men do. I have delt with those real dummies who do those dumb things and only harm themselves in the end too. I just thought today I would share something silly. Thanks for responding to my post!!!
