Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
Yes, a woman wants a man to listen, but she also does not want to know what is going on in his head. She wants to believe the man is invloved in the conversation, not just nodding. She feels connected that way. She also wants to believe the man is thinking along related lines when he is silent. My wife has given up on asking about what I am thinking since I gave her honest answers. Time splicing between her topic and other topics appearantly does not count.
I think Dilbert may be a bit of an aspie. I don't think she really would appreciate being told that he isn't one of her girlfriends, good social skills actually includes being willing to listen to her blabber about this and that. Women expect that you listen.
Sometimes it's hard to know what the right thing to say is for any man, but Dilbert has a special talent for saying the exact wrong thing. Maybe it's because engineers use the part of the brain normally reserved for social skills for holding technical data instead, and politeness and etiquette are replaced by logic and brutal honesty... :)
By the way, I had to look up the word "misogyny". As words go, I find it an ugly one, but at least now I know what it means.
