In life, there are cases when a woman does her best to hide the passion she feels for a man, while he just as diligently plays out the love that he does not feel for her at all.

Most disagreements between representatives of different sexes arise when aphorisms about women begin to be discussed. Why is this happening? Probably because they are not always true, which is not liked by many of the fair sex. Actually, any dogma is ever refuted by anyone. Let's deal with this issue.

Aphorisms about women: are they always accurate?

Even in antiquity, one wise man expressed the idea: “Any rule has exceptions. And a woman, like this rule: she is exceptional, correct, but sometimes goes beyond these very rules.

It is difficult for men to understand women. And it's easy to explain. After all, the psychology of people of different sexes is different. It is no less difficult for a woman to understand a man. However, due to some natural stubbornness, most ladies will never admit this.

From here arise aphorisms about women, where they are represented as devoid of logic, strange creatures. But this is a myth: the logic of women is often much more reasonable than that of men. And every woman's oddity can be explained. Another thing is that the ladies themselves use this myth in order to justify their rash or incorrect, erroneous actions.

Is it possible to override a woman?

The fact that women are stubborn and impossible to argue with them was noticed by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov. He told the world about this in his epigram.

Shame the liar, make fun of the fool
And arguing with a woman is the same
What to draw water with a sieve:
Deliver us from these three, O God!

• The best way to end an argument with your wife is to play dead.
• In a dispute between spouses, one is always right, and the other ... the husband!

In fact, the reason for this lies in the fact that the vocabulary of women is many times greater than that of men. Yes, and patience to argue, too, more. Therefore, for many men, even if they are sure that they are right, it is easier to agree with the lady or leave the battlefield in silence, keeping their opinion in themselves.

Is birthday a holiday?

The worst thing for every woman is the approach of old age, the loss of external attractiveness. It's funny, but men are subject to the same phobia to no lesser extent. It's just that the stronger sex diligently hides this weakness of theirs. However, in the centers plastic surgery men are not much smaller than women. And cosmetics they sell out at the same rate as the ladies.

It is clear that both sexes want to look younger. And the fact that they hide their age in righteous and unrighteous ways is no secret to anyone. That is why aphorisms about a birthday are born so often.

• A woman turns twenty-nine every year after thirty.
• This thirty-five-year-old lady, like all women on Earth, was only twenty-eight years old.
• Girl, girl, young woman ... Young woman, young woman, young woman ... And now - the old woman died!
• An ideal husband always remembers his wife's date of birth, but does not know how old she is.

Even great people often came up with catchphrases about a woman's birthday. For example, Joseph Kossman, the famous American entrepreneur, once said: “No more reliable way to remember your wife's birthday than to forget it even once!

And again about the birthday

Some catchphrases contain a slight irony over how much energy a lady spends on preparing a feast. Sometimes the holiday itself for her is no longer a holiday at all. And this is what aphorisms about a birthday are dedicated to.

• A woman's birthday is as difficult as a wedding for a gypsy horse: her head is in flowers, but she is all in soap!
• Why does everyone around wish health on a birthday, while they themselves make the liver and heart suffer by loading the body with alcohol?
• What does a man who came up with the idea of ​​celebrating a woman's birthday deserve? Death is not enough for him - that's a fact!

The strength of a woman is in her weakness

Very much in demand in modern world short aphorisms about strong women. This is because now too many worries and problems have to be solved by them. But everyone understands that this is the wrong approach to life. Be sure to next to a woman there should be someone who, at a difficult moment, will lend his shoulder. Yes, and in any other, too ...

• Next to a woman there should always be that man who at any moment will solve all her problems and will never create new ones for her.
• The woman they love is always happy. And only for losers and lazy people it is strong ...

About even in the past years there were aphorisms. Let us recall at least a phrase from Nekrasov's poem about a Russian woman who is the first to break into a burning house, not even afraid of a rushing horse.

And a ditty, written during the Great Patriotic War?

Me and the horse, me and the bull,

I am both a woman and a man!

In fact, the inner strength of a woman, her patience, perseverance often surpass even masculine qualities. But, as mentioned above, this is rather not a rule, but an exception. A woman cannot always be strong. In her nature lies the need for affection, tenderness, care. And therefore "periodically even very Strong woman tired of being a man."

Many men tend to compare cute ladies with certain animals. In the positive version, these are fallow deer, bees, fish, cats, birds, bunnies and others. Probably, such a desire arises because these animals evoke a feeling of tenderness or admiration.

But aphorisms about cats and women do not always arise from positive emotions.

• Baba is a cat, purrs to everyone who strokes her.
• Do not believe a woman when she purrs: at any moment she can release her claws.
• A cat, like a woman, can be caressed and touched by her reciprocal purr. But it is impossible to force either one or the other to carry out your commands if they are not in the mood.
• A woman is a cat who will always walk on her own and return to you when she needs it.

Family and love are the main thing in women's understanding of happiness

Aphorisms about a woman's happiness speak volumes. Even the most self-confident ladies in their hearts dream of leaning against more strong man and forget that they are self-sufficient and successful. These are the aphorisms about a happy woman composed by the people themselves.

• The success of a business woman who has her own plane and a villa in the Canary Islands is worth nothing in comparison with the quiet happiness of her beloved wife, who cooks breakfast for her husband and children in the morning.
• When a woman has problems, she only needs to hug her child: feeling that he is healthy, he is near, she will understand that she is happy, that now she has no problems, and everything that worries her is just the little things of life.

Who is the most important in the family?

They say that a wise woman is not the one who can do everything and knows everything, but the one whose husband knows everything and knows everything. This is probably what it is. No wonder everyone knows such aphorisms about wise women.

• A woman is only a neck. And the husband is the head! Him to decide. And the woman only needs to turn this head in the right direction ...
• The wisdom of a woman is to be able to remove and shake off the noodles from her ears in time.

And there is an opinion among the people that the weather in the house always depends on the woman. And this is partly true. You can't build a family alone. And a lot depends on the man.

• A bad husband's wife is always a grumpy fool and clumsy. And for some reason, a good one has a beauty and a clever one.
• A fool scolds his wife, a smart one teaches how to live. And only the wise love the way she is!
• A real man will never take offense at his chosen one. He will just wait until she calms down and continue to love her further.

When there is no agreement in the family...

The worst thing is the troubles between the spouses. With the years spent together, somewhere in an unknown direction, it happens that the former love, delight in front of their other half, also flows away. And there are such aphorisms.

• They often say about those who are dissatisfied with their husband, they say, they saw the eyes whom they led by the arm to the registry office ...

And they also make fun of both spouses, who in a few years living together begin to express their negative attitude towards marriage.

• It’s not worth cutting an innocent goose on a wedding anniversary - the one who once introduced two unfortunate people is to blame ...
• Every woman sleeps a witch, a fool, a bitch, an angel and a beautiful princess. The task of the husband is to wake up in his wife the one whom he deserves.
• An ideal family: she calls him to drink vodka, and he asks him to wait until he cleans the floor ...
• Ridiculous phrase: all women are the same. Why then do the men keep running and running from one to the other?

The greatest thing that God has created is a woman!

This beautiful and wise saying often causes a storm of indignation on the part of some "trousers". They fall on women with a stream of dirty and vulgar aphorisms, which are teeming with current social networks. Among them, “a chicken is not a bird, a woman is not a man!” - most kind.

Probably, these elements were angry at all the fair sex because of their failures on the love front. But, not being able to see their mistakes, they took the simplest path: they began to accuse all women en masse, not thinking about the fact that the one who gave birth to them, cherished and loved, also belongs to this half of humanity, which they mercilessly vilify .

Interesting in this sense may be such a popular saying: “You can never believe the vile things said against a woman. They come either from a man who failed to win her, or from a woman who is jealous of her! That is, lucky men who met a worthy woman on their way and managed to win her heart, friendship and devotion will never sink to such baseness as to speak badly about all the fair sex, including their chosen one.

Meanwhile, even the great Solomon used to say in the distant past: "A woman is sweeter than life and bitterer than death." With this phrase, he emphasizes precisely the ambiguous attitude towards a woman. When everything goes well between the two - there is nothing more beautiful in the world! But if there was a strife, a quarrel - and there is no worse test than this ...

Coco Chanel also spoke about love: “Whatever one may say, there is only one woman in the life of every man, and the rest are just her shadows.”

and a woman - does she exist?

Everyone knows everything about love - at least they think so. But there are disagreements about heterosexual friendship. That is why aphorisms about friendship between a man and a woman have the opposite meaning.

• There can be no friendship between a man and a woman, because in this case one of them is necessarily in love with his “friend”.
• The friendship of a woman with a man is love postponed to a later date.
• Friendship between a woman and a man is greatly weakened at nightfall.
• If a woman is friends with a man, then this means that one of them would like, but cannot achieve more.

Joking about something serious

There are also funny aphorisms about women. Who is their author, now it is difficult to say. But surely these people are far from stupid.

• God first created a man, and then a woman, only because before creating a masterpiece, a sketch is always made, a draft, in other words ...
• All men are goats! Everything! And my husband is first and foremost. But why did I marry him then? So we have proved the basic rule of life: all women are fools!
• If a woman said that she would be in five minutes, then you need to calmly wait and not call her every half hour!
• The first rule of doing all household chores is cleaning. And you need to start by cleaning your computer ... away from yourself.
• A hushed man is a thoughtful person, and a hushed woman is a lady who has already come up with something.
• To the question "Girl, are you alone?" the majority should answer: "No, I'm quirky!".
• A woman, like a fire in the forest, cannot be left unattended for a minute. There are two options: either it will completely fade away, or it will burn everything to hell!

Perhaps someone will not find the aphorism funny, but there is some irony in it.

• A woman always sees a double meaning everywhere, even where there is none. Where he is, the woman does not see the point at all.

The list of aphorisms can be continued indefinitely. After all, humorists and philosophers continue to compose and publish them.
