Let the "Stress" begin.... :)

Men and women handle stress differently.If you are married you can go ahead and close this window :P But if you aren`t married then carry on reading as these could end up being the words that will leave you a bachelor/spinster for life ;)

Unlike men, women have various kinds of stress which can be classified as :

-- Stress due to withholding a secret
-- Stress due to relationships
-- Stress due to work

Stress due to with-holding a secret
An author once said “Women pick up more dirt from the telephone than from their vacuum cleaner.” This explains why Telecom companies get 95% of their call revenues from lady clients. Holding a secret can be a tough task for a lady, especially if the secret is about another lady.

Me to BH : “If you promise me you will never tell this to anybody, I will tell you something.”

Initially he used to promise and share the secret immediately. Now a days he makes me a little impatient and says : “If I can`t share it with anybody, what is the point? Chuck it, I don`t want to know the secret...”
I would walk around for a while looking impatient and finally give up.. " Fine...Go ahead and share it, but can I start now? " :D

  In-spiteof all this women folks never let out a secret - atleast not the way it is told to them ;) Men on the other hand will always forget the spicy part of the secret and make it bland, and unworthy of gossip. ;)

Stress due to relationships
Among the various issues that women have, this reason for stress is the biggest. They are always worried about their ‘relationships` with other women, men, children, elderly, in-laws...You name it and they are worried about it. Perhaps, it has to do with the “What are you doing…..what will others think?” question that every parent/grandparent has asked the girl as she was growing up.

To add to it the stress caused by the husbands when they leave the 'wet' towel on the bed, forget to shop for the items mentioned and never let go of the tv remote ;) Phew....!

Stress due to work
This is the kind of stress that you can expect & plan for and yet fall for it... Women all over the world get affected by this stress. So much so, there are NGOs out there helping deal with during these tough times. It could range from : Too much work at office to the boss being bossy

Men need support women during this period of stress and hear them out. Since you know that they are complaining, all you have to do is repeat this sentence: “I know, This work thing is too much and your boss is an ***** " :)

For men, stress is only due to two things :

-- Most important stress is when India (or any other country the man belongs to) loses the cricket/football match or when Federer loses :P
-- The next most important is work related stress

Since there is no solution to India or Federer losing their matches, he just picks up the remote and stares at the TV till the world starts seeming fine.
On the work front, his stress is pretty simple...What is on the menu in the canteen today? ;) :P


PS : When BH read this post, he said I forgot to mention "THE" most important stress for Men - WIFE ;)
