A Man's Boxes and a Woman's Hot, Ball of Wired Brain!
69
I hope the title in itself caught your attention. I heard a comedian once that talked about a man's brain being like little boxes in which he departmentalize things. He continued to explain that a woman’s brain is like a hot, ball of wire, circuits running here and there. I always remembered his scenario. I hope I can do him justice as I try to explain Sunnie Days take on this.
A Man's Boxes
A man's brain has many boxes in which he is able to only put one thing in each box. There is a sex box, fishing box, a woodworking box, mow the lawn box, and so on. You get my drift. When he is in that box, it is wasted time for a woman to try to make him go to another box. When he is in his “fishing” box, it is not a good idea to persuade him into the “mow the lawn” box. It is futile. It is not that he is trying to be difficult really. That is how he is made. Should you find a man who multitasks, that is rare. So the question of the day is how do you get him to move from one box to another?
Women! You have to do this very carefully. So for an example, say your better half is in his “TV box”, here is something that may work for you. You may entice him by giving him a peek into his “sex box”. You know like opening a snack for your puppy. “Here puppy, puppy look what mama has for you”? Sort of like that. He may take the snack gladly and move from one box to the other but be careful to not push him, as he may not move at all or retreat back into his TV box. It may take a couple tries but I can guarantee he will fall for the snack sooner or later. Once you get him in the box that you intended for him to go into, it is all gravy from there.
Another problem that women forget is that when a man is in one box; do not try to communicate about something in another box. He will not hear you. It will sound like, BLAH BLAH, BLAH, in his ears. Their attention is only in the box they are in at the time. The secret is to get in the box with him at the time. Spend some nice quality time in that box. Sooner or later, you both will be walking out of that "fishing box" with a big bass in hand, a smile on your better half's face, and you will be able to march him straight to the "mow the lawn" box!
Women’s Ball of Wire
A woman’s brain is like a hot, ball of wire that you cannot find the beginning nor the end. The circuits are red hot and ideas are running constantly. They are able to multitask like you would not believe. They are holding the baby in one arm, stirring the soup in the other, phone leaned against the shoulder to the ear, and kicking the dog with the other foot. Women are amazing that way.
Poor men do not have a chance when the woman’s wires are running at such a fast rate, it is hard to keep up. Women will be talking about one subject and just when the man is on board, they switch it up and the man is left thinking, What? Huh? It really isn’t fare. Women are sneaky too. They finally get the man in the “mowing box” by enticing him into the “sex box” prior. When they are in the “sex box,” a woman may be making a mental note of her to do list, or painting the walls in her head. This does not make a good time for your better half. Somehow you have to find a way to short circut a couple wires before heading into this box..
A woman switches gears so fast, that most men are just standing their with their mouths open.The hot ball of wire hit them so fast, that they are still trying to figure out how they got out of the last box. It just does not seem fair. Poor lads are crawling out of their “sex box” running towards their “fishing boxes” just to get away. Advice for men, well I am very sorry, I don’t’ have any! Just hold on tight, it’s going to be a long ride.
I really hope this has helped you understand the makings of the man and woman’s brain. While it is not a science and has not yet been proven that theses little boxes and hot, balls of wire exist, I believe there is some truth in this observation. These are just things to think about , when you find communication is getting lost somewhere. Apply some of these valuable lessons and let’s see what happens. God must have had such a sense of humor when he made us. I am sure we will keep him greatly entertained.
Good Luck!

Sunnie, Go for it and feel good about it cuz you'll be happy and he'll be happy. Those men who treasure the fishing box are at their most vulnerable to the spirit of camaraderie when they're in that box, more so than any other box. "Great fisherman", "big fish", "fantastic lures" --- everything they want to hear. They feel that their pastime is respected, they're feelin' g-o-o-o-o-d, and they want to pass that feeling on, so, yeah, get those tiles, let me fix that floor and that leaking faucet!
It's the way to go. I love that fishing box.
Kind regards, Stessily
Oh My Goodness...why did I not think of that...You are my hero...catch him while he has his pole in hand...Yep...that will work..."Uh honey...gee that is one big fish you caught...great job..you are such a great fisherman...when you are not too busy can you retile the bathroom..I 'll just run to home depot and pick out some tile...oh sure...take you time...BAM..out the back door like nothing ever happened..I like it! lol
Sunnie, That fishing box is one of the most important boxes for those men who own them! Every once in a while I've been able to slip in through the back door of the fishing box, wheedle what I wanted out of my fisherman while he's vicariously fishing, and then slip back out. Pretty slick! Didn't know I had it in me to be such a slippery eel.
Kind regards, Stessily
Hello Neelish,
Your comment was so funny! Such strange creatures we are and how we ever ended up getting into a long relationship, married, and having children is beyond me..lol
The "S" box is one that the man always loves to be in..He may frequent it quite often..The problem is the woman is running past the box so quickly, always being busy that when he trys to grab her..he misses...so he keeps peeking out hoping to catch her as she runs past again..how they had children is just a miracle..hahahaI
Thank you my friend,
Sunnie
aha so that is why i saw your husband leaving his tv watching and rushing to the window every now and then talking to the grass saying"grow grass grow, come grow fast. then she will want you mowed and as i watch tv she will - well offer to get me into the "s" box."
but then if a guy has to wait for the grass to grow to get into the "s" box don't you think the gap between sessions would be tooo long.
Hi Stessily,
So happy this brought you a smile...my husband teases me that he is in his fishing box at the time that he must not be disturbed...lol
Thank you for reading ..
Take care,
Sunnie
Sunnie, Too too funny!!
Kind regards, Stessily
Becky I am cracking up...you not only understand about this weapon we have but you use it too your advantage...MULTI TASKING!!! You are my hero..hahaha
I do Think you are right..sex sex sex and more sex....it is the box lit up like a christmas tree, neon signs, bells and whistles...you can't miss it as it is always in your face...hahahahha
Thanks so much for making me smile and I am still laughing..
Take care,
Sunnie
Sunnie, You got one thing wrong. They are always in the sex box and sometimes they come out of the other boxes long enough to have a conversation. While they are out of the other boxes, they stay in the sex box. You will still be having the conversation with them but their mind is still on sex.
My daughter and I short-circuit my husband quite often and it makes him so mad at us. He will be giving instructions for something (he thinks we don't know how to do anything) and she will say something, he gets mad and loses his train of thought. I answer our daughter and tell him what he was thinking...umm, saying. He can't figure out that I can multi-task and not mess up. I heard them both and answered both. Messes our sons up too.
Good Morning Micky once again..Thanks for stopping by..glad you got a chuckle..Those box thangy's are something else..sometimes I need to work on short circuting a couple of my own wires...haha..Have a blessed day.
Sunnie

Eiddwen.
Funny and true! I loved the video. God bless you Sunnie.
A.A you are too funny..Too clean? Maybe you were in your "writing poetry box" and just couldn't concentrate...see I told you this to be true..hahah
Thanks for stopping by and reading..have a great Thursday.
Sunnie

Hugs,
Sunnie
Good Morning Maggie,
Oh I have to look..thanks for finding that link. I couldn't remember..it has been so long. I know I put in my take on it..so would love to rewatch it and see what I missed. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday..at least it is not a Monday right?
Sunnie
This was very funny and entertaining Sunnie. Another great example of your wonderful "writing" mind.
How the heck do you just keep pumping out these great pieces. And working and all . . . when you retire, I hope to have my 36-hour days by then so I can keep up with the reading :)
I saw MM's link regarding the comedian and women's boxes. And man boxes. I didn't get it, I think it's because of the Canadian humor. Too wholesome to be funny to me. Thank you sharing.
Great hub, and just loved that you tube that Mark Gungor did, can't remember when it was but I had posted that link to my facebook account saying, this explains everything,
Take care,
MM
Radioguy that was my next hub! haha just kidding..but I think maybe you should give it a whirl..lol
Thanks for stopping by. You gave me a chuckle..
Sunnie
...and a teenager's brain is a ball of wax!
Very True Dave,,, I did not think about the in-between times, good time to catch him quick..lol Thanks for reading as always.
God Bless,
Sunnie
Sunnie: You are mostly right in what you say, but there are times when your man can be between boxes too. Then is a great time to give him a listing of all the odds and ends tasks you might desire to have completed. Now he may not jump right away to start them or complete them but rest assured they will get done in his own sweet timing, just as God answers prayer in his time and his way.
Thanks Peter for stopping by so glad it brought a smile. Sunnie
Thank you...very funny.
Now that is a great idea.. I like that alot! Thanks for your suggestion..I will keep that to heart should I find I am able to bill my services..lol Have a good night.
Sunnie
Your invoice should read, 'One Bug, my choice'. For all your hard work explaining the inner workings of our minds. Just a suggestion.
I thank you so much Poolman,,my bill will be in the mail...lol :)
It should be a law that babies and wives or girlfriends all come with an instruction book. This hub has done a great deal toward filling that need.
Now Mck..are you trying to get me to blush here? :) You are too funny. It was fun writing!..I am sorry the red hot wire got ya!..Guess we all never opened the instructions concerning the boxes and hot wires..lol
Sunnie
Kinda surprised to find a comment section here. What goes in the sex box again?
I bet you had fun putting this together. And it explains the burn scars I've received over the years. That uninsulated red hot wire is somethen - let me tell ya!
Hummmm let me think..I think that is when a divider has to be placed within the sex box and you just jump from side to side...:)
Have a wonderful day..Hugs!
Sunnie
Hummmm...Sunnie what happens when you're married to a bi-polar man? Happy side is in the sex-box but where is the other side? Love your humor....lol
Good Morning Poolman,
I am so happy that you now understand the workings of our brains..it is not easy task..lol...There should be an instruction book for us all..:) Thank you for reading and commenting. God bless,
Sunnie
Had to vote this up and beautiful. Thanks to you and this hub, at the age of 73, I am now starting to understand how this works. I have to say you nailed it with this one.
Mornin Dusty,
You sure make me smile. I would almost say you are a multitasker...which you are rare in deed..hahaha but then you are in that "woodworking box" so it is hard to say..:) Have a great day..Good to see you this early morning.
Sunnie
Sunnie, you pretty much nailed us but while we drive a nail we're multi-tasking, 1 hold nail 2 swing hammer 3 cuss like heck after hitting finger those three turn into a few more but 1 and 2 are dropped.
Funny hub and perfect video to go with it. To the best of my memory it was just like that, he he voted up dusty
Good Morning Hyphenbird, I am laughing so hard..yes they learn young don't they..you see its just the way they are made..haha Have a blessed day. Thank you for reading.
Sunnie
This is all so true! I only have a little man in my life and at eight years old, he is still this way!
