I'll get right to the point and preface it by saying that these are in no particular order because all of them could very well be #1. *Light bulb comes on* Well, since I am writing this article why not let us rephrase the title a taste: The 10 #1 Things Men Wish Women Knew. Ahhh, much better...here we go!

1. We so dearly wish our women knew we feel the quickest way from point A to B is a straight line which means we like you'all to shoot straight to the point. Say what's on your mind without taking us around the world to get to the next room or even worse, throwing hints. Most endearing men realize that there are exceptions, except for the hints.

1. Sometimes the best conversation involves absolutely no words. Enough said!

1. Most men, not all, eat to live not live to eat and I'm not saying that most women are the opposite but what I am saying is that sometimes it's apropos to eat a sandwich for dinner.

[Sidebar: For someone out there who may be down on their luck, chips with sparkling water and a lemon might be the answer to their prayers- please read between the lines on this one]

1. When men are watching their favorite show, whatever that may be, then is not the time to rehash the events of the day or talk about something that's (supposedly) very important to you unless it is in some way life-threatening...another 30 minute-to an-hour wait shouldn't make the situation too much worse.
