Why Men Flick the TV Channels
A man flicking the channel with the
remote control is one if womens pet hates. He sits there like a
zombie just flicking, not paying attention to any particular
program.
When a man does this, hes mentally sitting on his rock and often
doesnt even see whats happening on each station. He just searches
for the bottom line in each story. By channel flicking he can
forget about his own problems and look for solutions to other
peoples. Women dont flick channels they watch a program and
search for the storyline, the feeling and relationship of
those
involved in the story.
Newspaper addiction serves the same purpose for men. Women need to
understand that how men do these things they cant hear or remember
much, so it is difficult to try talking with them. Instead, make an
appointment and give him an agenda.
Remember, his forefathers spent over a million years sitting
expressionless on a rock surveying the horizon, so this comes
naturally to him and he is comfortable doing it.
