Things you don't 'get' that others do?

[weeksy]

Even after all these years. I don't get the wimminz.

That's not a late life admission of the ghey,or anything,just an acknowledgement of the random unpredictability that is ever present in wimminz of the female kind.

Lol I'm very lucky that Mrs Weeksy is the most normal one I know. Apart from her purchases of random stuff that is.

And her husband wouldn't be prone to impulse purchases at all,would he?

I can relate to this...

[Taipan]

Signs in the house. "This is our happy place", "Nobody gets out sober" "LOVE" etc.

[cheb]

Superhero films and comics.

[Cousin Jack]

Ditto to that ^^^. Superpowers just seem puerile to me.

[demographic]

22 grown men kicking a bag of wind about for 90 minutes but apart from the Tour De France I generally don't give a toss about any teamsports.
Golf, despite my father a d one uncle being golf pros and my father even playing in the British Open (well before I was born though) I still view it as a good walk spoiled*.
I do like walking the dog across the Carlisle course on the odd night though.
On a lead though or he'll be off after a deer.
Nice enough place to walk, just zero interest in the golf bit.

You guys do know that there's quite a few of those wimminz folk that don't get other wimminz either, right?!!

In general, it easier to have men friends I've found

Mind you, I don't really understand them either - but they are easier to be friends with

Say it ain't so. More complications.

Wimminz (not all, but most!) are scarily weird and complicated!!

Flipside is that the ones that aren't are awesome!!

[Wossname]

Boxing, wrestling. I.e. grown men fighting. Why?
Football. Bunch of overpaid nancies. Football fans, if I can widen the scene a bit. Louts, mostly. Rugby, otoh….. (explain that.)
Drinking until you’re drunk. Why?
Evangelical Christians. Evangelical anything, in fact.
Intolerant people like me…

I’ll stop there - I’m starting to enjoy this too much.

[Horse]

Boxing. Who wants to watch two humans battering each other? Maybe if it was about skill and grace rather just lumping each other hoping to cause injury it wouldn't be so bad.

With a 50% chance of getting your face smashed in, brain damage, whatever ...

[Mr. Dazzle]

Even if you don't like football/boxing/golf/competitive tiddlywinks I'd have thought you'd at least get the idea of why people like competitive pastimes?

And if even if you don't like football you probably like motorcycle racing, for example, which is basically the same thing bar a few details

You don't have to like the specific to understand why other people do

[Dodgy69]

Fancy car's. Its just transport to me.

[cheb]

Specific breeds or types of pet. I get those using a dog for working need them, you probably wouldn't chose a terrier to round up sheep. But as a pet, either a dog or a cat? Nope I don't get it.

Because it appeals to stone age brain tribalism?

I wouldn't have said it was anything so modern

Yebbut … the title of the thread is “things you don’t get that others do”. I’m quite happy for others to carry on doing them, me myself I don’t “get” them. I “get” that others do.
