Waffles and Spaghetti

Men are like Waffles, Women are like Spaghetti.

The book immediately caught my attention, but I didn't do more than picking it up and reading the back cover.
It wasn't until a month or so later that I finally GOT IT!

But of course!
Men ARE like waffles.
They process things from square to square, each square is isolated and unrelated to the rest.
Everything's so neatly compartmentalised.
No wonder they can move from one thing to another at the speed of light.

Women are like spaghetti.
Every strand inevitably touches every other strand on the plate.
In other words, it's ALL CONNECTED.
No wonder almost everything's a jumbled mess of collected memories and emotions, none of which can be separated from the other.

That makes sense.
No wonder men move on so quickly.
