Apparently it's "because I'm a guy"

.
I've been a man for most of my life, obviously, (I was a boy before that)  and I never realized that being a male explained so many aspects of my character and surroundings!
It all started a couple of years ago with Madeleine, my beloved gf, when upon commenting on how I adore kissing her silky-smooth cheeks ,she replied -'that's because you're a guy!'

Soon after that startling revelation, I remember saying I didn't like cucumber very much, in sandwiches or salad. Madeleine's reply was delivered with such sincerity that I was instantly convinced of it's merit- 'That's because you're a guy!'

On another occasion I was in the bedroom watching telly and heard a piercing loud shriek from the bathroom that made my heart miss a beat! Madeleine screamed.I ran to her aid as fast as I could.

'What's up love?' I asked.
'It's a huge spider...look...up there on the ceiling' stuttered Madeleine, horror etched in her face.
'Where?.. I can't see a spider'  I replied, squinting hard, trying to focus on the tiny grey blob on the ceiling.
'There!..can't you see it, it's huge...look at the legs... moving!' cried Madeleine.
'Oh...yes... I see it'  I said as I smacked the spider off the ceiling with my flip-flop.

'Madeleine, why do you scream when you see a spider?'
'Because I'm  scared of them, obviously...duh !'.
'Ok, I don't like them much either but you don't hear me scream'
'That's because you're a guy.'

So, there you have it! Philosophy in the making.

Some people say "that's how it is" others say "it's God's will" but Madeleine says "that's because............
