What I learn about men each day

My life in a coffee shop. May interactions and dealings with customers every day. Mostly about men because they are so memorable. For women to read because we will see these traits in all of our men.

Please Ask About Me and I'll TEll You

Monday March 20th 5:30am

So today is the first day of Spring. The weather was actually cold and chilly. Kind of a good day to stay in bed and dream the morning away. Read a good book. Watch some TV.
I learned today that men really like to talk about themselves, a lot.
I was in the cafe' today just doing my work, being friendly and ventured out into the man's world. I just wanted to see what a few of them were doing on this cold and dreary day. WELL-they never stopped talking about their activities for the day. A simple "Hi. How are you"? became a "well let me fill you in on my day".
They were surfing, biking, running ,training for marathons, some were watching the surfers and then some were watching the waves(fascinating things those waves). Not one of these guys were going back to bed on a cold and dreary morning.
All of the men I spoke with really perked up and took my questions today as a sign of interest in them personally. They never returned the questions and asked me about my day. They were quite happy to tell me about themselves, only themselves. I even heard a few "How bout we ride the waves together honey". "I'll be back in a few hours and you can make me another Latte". Men we should avoid at all cost. If you want to have a conversation , that is a two way conversation than STAY AWAY.

Reminds me of a song:

We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
bout your daddy and your mother and you crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
we talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
the polish on your toes and the run in your hose and
God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes

You know talkin about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile

I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about I
I wanna talk about number one oh my me my
what I think what I like what I know what I want what I SEE!
I like talkin about you you you you usually
but occasionally
I wanna talk about me!!

(me me me me)

I wanna talk about me-e-e

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
Your high school team and your moisturizer cream
we talk about your Nana up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your Grandpa down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
the ones that you despize and the ones you idolize
we talk about your heart bout your brains and your smarts
and Your medical charts and when you start...

You know talkin about you makes me grin
but every now and then

I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about I
I wanna talk about number one oh my me my
what I think what I like what I know what I want what I SEE!
I like talkin about you you you you usually
but occasionally
I wanna talk about me!!

I wanna talk about meeee (me me me meeee)
I wanna talk about meeee (oh me me me meeee)

You you you you you you you you
YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU!
I wanna talk about- ME!

I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about I
I wanna talk about number one on my me my
what I think what I like what I know what I want what I SEE!
I like talkin about you you you you usually
but occasionally
I wanna talk about me!!

oh me!
I wanna talk about me
oh me-e-e!

Actually Toby Keith nailed that song right on the money. I think about it often while serving up coffee. I don't want to talk about you but "hey let's talk all about me"
