Men are from Mars...

[María José]

I just saw this in the CNN page and I think it's so true...And kind of fun...
Sexes don't agree
Women want men to know what women want. And men want women not to want anything.

ohhh, it sound me. It's the famous "You (the man) must do what I (the woman) am thinking. Men do not think"
For example.
My wife proves a pair of earings. She ask me "What do you think?"
(suppose she likes them. And suppose she cares what I say.)
If I say "You look good" she says "thanks sweetheart"
If I say "You do not look god " She says to the shopgirl "men have no taste"

It's always the same. Women go to marriage thinking he will change (according to her directions), and he doesn't change. Men go to marriage thinking she will not change, and she changes.

This must be for married people, as I don't share this point of view over (the war of) sexes.

I think, the women and the man both are shall has the same view piont about it, then for example my wife is a case very fun, she sometime, she's angry with me when I don't help her with the things of the home, and I said her, please love you shalln't angry with me, because I love you much, I think, what the women if change when got married, and the women doesn't change and nothing, it's more silly, at leas I think it, I don't know the life of another couples, How is their life, but some it's sure all we have us different way to think in our matrimonies.

• It looks familiar to me.
• It sounds familiar to me.
• It seems familiar to me.
• It reminds me of...

• It looks familiar to me. for something you can see... e.g someone, a face, a street...
• It sounds familiar to me. for something you hear... e.g music, a voice...
• It seems familiar to me. for both, depending on the context.
• It reminds me of... Hacerte recordar is that correct Spanish?

Thanks a lot, Jane. Yes, it's correct Spanish:

• Me hace recordar que...
• Me recuerda que... (this is more common).
