The difference between men & women...

i know this sounds too much like a self-help book but the diff between this posting and a self-help book on relationships is that im not looking at it from a marital perspective (being a single woman and in no hurry to acquire a marital status) but a very generalized perspective...
There is this notion tht women r neater, sensitive,caring,giving,emotional... n guys? they r smarter,logical,strong,cant commit....
these r the prototypes..
but im gonna now try n fit this into my life...
firstly neater n organised?me?i cant even find a scrunchie wen i want one!
this reminds me...in our bathroom (yes my bro n i share one), u'd find two razors (like revealing epilating methods r scandalous...its not birth control!)...one a very feminie pink safety blade wit a moisturising strip...and a very macho black gillette mach 3 razor wit rubber grips...normal huh?look closer...cos u'd find the pink blade is dirty,the moisturising srip has almost fallen off n the blade needs a change.but the black gillette is neatly kept,looks brand new,protected by its dust cover....
and sensitive,caring,giving?a woman can tke a mans heart n trample on it rite in front of his face...we can use men n hav no regrets...we can be cold wen v want to and be condescending n sarcastic...v can b shallow n judgemental..if we, n wen v choose to b so...
emtional?we r emotional only wen v want something....
the notion tht men r stronger is disputable...if men had to go thru cramps n mood swings every month and yet take on lifes challenges...the whole world would be an asylum....
logical?this from people who have more (double) standards than the beureau of standards!
commitment...funnily women r more scared of losing their independence n hav other commitment issues...ther r more guys ready to commits than gals!
so wats the difference?
