    Male vs female

    Very topical at the moment....

    Last weekend I treated myself to a pair of Grado GR8 in ear headphones. I listen to my iPod whilst working so I've got earphones in for at least 5 hours a day and I want the best possible quality. They cost £300 but sound fantastic.

    My wife bought a pair of Jimmy Choo court shoes for the same price yesterday.

    Apparently, my headphones are "a waste of money, what's wrong with the Apple ones?" but her shoes are "an investment as she will wear them at least twice a year at weddings etc and they are gorgeous"

    Discuss......

      He wants to know why going out for a pint with some mates at the last minute is 'Bloody typical' whereas Im just popping around Julies house for a couple of
      glasses of wine with friends is 'I never go out'

        What exactly are "court shoes"? I am imagining something like this:

          My wife can't see the difference between standard definition TV and HD. Neither, apparently, can her network of female Twitter / Mumsnet friends.

          Men just have sharper eyesight and better spacial awareness. Needed for hunting, see.

              She's right. You're wrong. Apologise and get on with your life.

                is that my earphones provide an appreciable difference in sound and are of a higher quality than the Apple ones, whereas there is no appreciable difference between a pair of £15 shoes from New Look and the Jimmy Choos!

                    I only apologise when I'm wrong.

                    I've only ever been wrong once and that's when I thought I was wrong and found out I wasn't.
