This list has been around and around; but, as a service to the Internet community, I have formatted it into a table for easier comparison.
| Her View | His View | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Object | Male | Female | Male | Female |
| Ziploc™ Bags | Because they hold everything in, but you can always see right through them. | Simple, ingenious, works to keep things fresh. Never hides the ugly truth when things go bad… | ||
| Shoe | Because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out. | Comes in all shapes and sizes. Don’t mind being walked on (though some will squeak until broken in) Still, you can’t get far without them. Every woman would like to have a closet full. | ||
| Copier | Because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. | Keeps track of every time it’s done something for you. Never ready when you’re in a hurry. When in a jam requires patience and care to get going again. No one really understands how they work. | ||
| Tire | Because it goes bald and often is over inflated. | Unsung hero. You assume it’s going to keep you safe, but do you EVER check to see if it’s properly cared for? Let it fail you once, and you start looking for a replacement. | ||
| Hot Air Balloon | Because to get it to go anywhere you have to light a fire under it and, of course, there’s the hot air part. | Takes you to new heights and shows you the quiet beauty all around. You might complain about how slowly it moves, but when you get there it will take your breath away. | ||
| Sponges | Because they are soft and squeezable and retain water. | When they get old they are hard, brittle, and often smell bad. I know I’m going to pay for that one… | ||
| Subway | Because it uses the same old lines to pick up people. | Working tirelessly out of sight to keep things going. | ||
| Hourglass | Because over time, the weight goes to the bottom. | Requires attention every fifteen minutes. | ||
| Hammer | Because it hasn’t evolve over the last 5,000 years, but it’s handy to have around. | Unadorned, uncomplicated. Drives home points and helps keep things from falling apart. | ||
| Remote Control | Ha! You thought I’d say male. But consider this: it gives men pleasure, he’d be lost without it, and while he doesn’t always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying. | Ha! You thought I’d change this one. But consider this: They all claim to be universal, but if we ever find one that will work with all our complicated components we will keep it forever. Even after it’s old and worn and held together with tape, we’ll defend it with our lives and be completely lost without it. And, yes. There are always a few buttons that we’ll never understand, but we push them anyway. | ||
