• The other day I was waiting for my wife at the hair salon.  I noticed as I sat in my car, every woman coming out of the salon was smiling, they looked radiant.  That got me to thinking about the difference between men and women.
• Women take hair appointments very seriously.  Ladies will not give up hair appointments for almost any reason including childbirth, funerals and heart attacks.  Blizzards, no problem, they will take a bulldozer in if necessary.  I'm not making this up.
• Women are very particular concerning their hair.  There are a wide range of styles, cuts and colorings.  Women are particular.
• Men on the other hand coming out of a barbershop or salon look….well like men, pretty clueless.  As I mentioned women exiting a salon look radiant, they sparkle.  There is a transformation.  Men look less shabby.  Even if they have little hair, they look less shabby.  Men unlike women, have four styles they will request, long, short, same or whatever.  Haircuts for men are an afterthought.  They usually walk in and say, "Hey, can you cut my hair?"
• Another thing I noticed is women at the cosmetic counter.  I like women's' cosmetics counters, it always smells good there.  I know livestock sale barns smell good to some people because they smell like money.  Cosmetic counters smell really good.  And the price of cosmetics, that smell is money.  I'm sorry cowboys and farmers but I'll take the cosmetic money smell over the cow and pig smell of money.  Maybe I'm getting soft as a boomer.
• But men have their own cosmetic counters.  They're called sporting goods stores.  Fishing equipment of every sort is available.  Red hooks, yellow hooks, green hooks, jigs of every size, shape and color.  Fishing line of every color plus hundreds of different lures are out there.  Fishermen have fishing poles that are lightweight, heavyweight, long, short for every species of fish.
• And hunters aren't any better.  Watch the hunters coming off the airplanes for the opening pheasant hunt.  They need a shotgun, no, make those 6 shotguns and 800 shells.  If you want to be a millionaire, invent some hunting or fishing gizmo and then tell hunters and fisherman they need it.
• So ladies look good and smell good.  Men look less shabby carrying their fishing pole and shotgun smelling like stink bait or deer urine.  Those my friends are the differences between the sexes.  Boomer insights are just phenomenal.
