hmmmm....nice question....maybe women don't like standing all alone deserted,or maybe we don't like throwing snow on women..see they are gentle and so the royale treatment..so its all for men being outdoors,being made fun off!!does that sound logical?

thanks for the merit askmemore... yes, it does sound logical to me.. but women do fights with men, oooppppsss, for having fun in the snow... lol.. ^^

Welllll..........yina24.....I personally would prefer that they continue to call them "snowmen".....because if you think about it...they have "slush" for brains, and that certainly doesn't describe women! Now, that was said with "tongue in cheek!" But I guess that I shud be prepared for the onslaught of comments! Have a great day....just felt we needed a little levity here!

yeah~~~ you're right pergammano.. women don't have "slush"... so you think men have? .. lol ^^

No...I don't really think that...but just thot I could get a little more activity to your fun question, but I guess all the snowmen are asleep...or?

well, i can say that we put emotions when we build them,. like if we want them to smile, or frown, or angry... or just what you said sleeping.. well then.. let's see more of upcoming responses.. ^^

Well, if you're going to be politically correct, the term would be "snowperson", but most of us grew up calling them "snowmen".

However, I made a snow angel once and DID make the distinction of it being a female! wink

If you want to take a look at my snow angel, I have a short "lesson" on how to make one here: http://www.geocities.com/.... Yep, that's me a few years ago. At the end, you'll see why I called mine a female.
