What is it with men and women and how they define dinner? Ask any sane
man, (I know a few) and they cringe at the thought of discussing
anything during dinnertime. Ask any sane woman and you get a different
perspective on the whole issue. Sometimes I wonder where the men would
be without distractions such as the television, Internet, MP3, etc.
etc., especially during times when they want to escape conversations.
Generally a man defines dinner as stuffing his face and filling his stomach with whatever is cooked, while flipping channels on the television. Ask a woman and she will tell you that dinner-time is the most important time of the day. It is the time of the day to catch up on what happened during the day, narrate it to a good measure and then ask the man about his day. Only to realize most men interpret conversation and dinnertime as separate things. As a result, the woman ends up getting monosyllabic or sometimes no replies from her man (depends on which channels the man is surfing and how much he can distract himself away from it). So, looks like men and women interpret dinnertime very differently.
