Men are like Waffles, Women are like spaghetti

"Men process life in boxes. If you look down at a waffle, you will see a collection of boxes separated by walls. The boxes are all separated from each other and make convenient holding places. This is typically how a man process life. Our thinking is divided up into boxes that have room for 1 issue and 1 issue only.

The 1st issue of life goes into the 1st box, the 2nd goes int the 2nd box, and so on. The typical man lives in 1 box at a time and 1 box only. When a man is at work, he is at work. When he is in the garage tinkering around, he is in the garage tinkering. ..........

Men are problem solvers by nature .....

A men will strategically organise his life in boxes and then spend most of his time in the boxes he can succeed in. .... will ignore the boxes that confuse him or make him feel like a failure.


Men also takes a "success" approach to communication. If they believe that they can successfully talk with their wives and reach a desirable outcome, they will be highly motivated to converse. If on the other hand, the conversation seems pointless, he will claims up n lose motivation to talk.

Women process life more like a plate of pasta. If you look at a plate of spaghetti, you notice that there are lots of individual noodles that all touch one another. If you attempted to follow one noodle around the plate, you would intersect a lot of other noodles, and you might even switch to another noodle seamlessly. That is how women face life. Every thought and issue is connected to every other thought and issue in some other way. Life is much more of a process for women than it is for men.

This is why women are typically better at multitasking than men. ..... because all her thoughts, emotions, and convictions are connected, she is able to process more information and keep track of more activities.

As a result, most women are in pursuit of connecting life together. In conversation, she can link together the logical, emotional, rational and spiritual aspects of the issue.


There are actually boxes in the average men's waffle that contain no words and no thoughts. These BOXES are just as blank as a white sheet of paper. They are EMPTY! To help relive stress, he will "park" in these boxes to relax.

Men in times of stress, retreat to easy boxes. Men's easy boxes are generally shaped like boxes. A newspaper is shaped like boxes. A TV screen is shaped like a box. A basketball court and football field are shaped like boxes. A computer screen is shaped like a box. And the favourite of all men's safe, easy boxes - a bed - and is, of course, shaped like a box.
