Women and Men - Equally Creative?

Women are brilliant Homo sapiens and masters in psychological warfare. If you were once married or is married, you will understand what I mean. 🤣

I was married a long time ago, you know the story.

Disaster doesn't even cut it.

However, I find nothing gender specific in the psychological warfare department.

A tendency to feel the need to say things like, men are this or women are that, very much does a disservice to both.

We are all beautifully unique, individual human beings. Not a single one of us are exactly the same.

I hold a deep respect and admiration and love for many of the women who are in my life to this day.

Not all of them to be certain. :)

At least from the view from my stump, men and women have different challenges in life.

How you got enough sex for like 32 kids is beyond me.

What am I talking about?

You guys must be rocking this stuff.

Me in the infernal and eternal "Friend Zone" almost always.

😅

I've got plenty of cash.

Teach me, please.

I love that the board knows me well enough that I didn't even need the coffee guy, and I can't say that getting the bug-eyed omg guy from piggy of all people didn't feel good.
 
I do a fair amount of woodworking, but I tend to do decorative/artistic stuff more than, say, furniture, and I like it very much when
I come up with an idea so that the project is mine and not a copy of something. In short, when I get a creative idea and it works
out well. I can draw, paint, carve and cut with a lot of detail and sometimes I can get a bit lost in the process of making something
unique just to see if I can create something that I can see in my mind, or somebody else thought of and challenged me to make it
real.

For instance, I followed a set of plans and made a Christmas display piece of a Polar bear (about 9 inches long) walking on ice
carrying a saddle bag loaded with an elf, a Christmas tree and various gifts and toys. It was fairly difficult and it came out nice, but
I started thinking that I wanted to do my own version to add to it. Maybe do a collection of an offbeat kind of Christmas delivery
if I got around to it. And it kept rattling around in my head. What did I see in my head?

So, I've been working on a stagecoach sleigh driven by a weird elf being towed by a big Yeti. Don't ask me why, because I don't
really know. I had no plans to work from and that made it more interesting because it was harder. I'll post a pic when it's done, but it's been a fun project
and my overall skill level gets better because I pushed myself in a different direction. My Wife loves Christmas and that was part of the motivation. And I wanted
to top the first one which some professional came up with and classified as "advanced". Am I capable of doing that? I think so, but we'll see
when it's done.

The point of all of this is that I definitely have a creative side and like using it because it's one of the things I've discovered that I can both do and
get something out of it. But, sometimes people will get a little weirded out by that as if it is not something a straight male should be doing. Which doesn't
bother me much at all, but I do notice it when it occurs. Both females and males can get a little uncomfortable and tell me, in their own way, they don't get
it. And they don't have to.

For instance, my Brother in Law is a construction worker, who sort of enjoys giving me a good-natured-but-edgy hard time. That's how he rolls. His usual
shtick is along the lines that real men don't waste time doing arty stuff and I should buy some guns or something. Anyhow, I had made several handmade Christmas
gifts for my Wife's Sisters including a wooden, dimensional sunflower wreath for BiL's Wife and everybody was impressed at how it came out. Sunflowers are
her motif/thing and I knew she would love it.

Anyhow, he later sent me a series of texts telling me how great it was and I think it was because he felt guilty that he gives me shit and I made something
that beautiful for his wife. And it clearly involved a fair bit of effort. Now, I'm a reasonably normal guy who likes beer football and a ton of other stereotypical
guy stuff, but I don't find it a major problem do do stuff that involves flowers. Or Elves. Masculine and Feminine isn't really part of my thought process. I
just like seeing what it is that I can do, because sometimes, if I'm not careful, I might surprise myself.

You can’t fault a man that loves to play with his wood.

Thanks for posting that, Hawg. A fine addition to the thread, you poofter. :biggrin:

Beautiful and perfect.

You just nailed it.
 
Really a small thought we are individuals. I imagine that women and men are creative in their fashion. I imagine their creativity as different and thus not equal. Regardless as to how you may view creation, I just see both genders as simply ESSENTAL complimentary components to the plan, whosever's plan it may be.

Yes, completely agree.

That's what I was getting long-winded about at 3 am in my post above.
