THE MALE BRAIN EXPLAINED

COLD WARS

WHY DON’ T GUYS DRESS FOR THE WEATHER?

One shivering man explains.
This isn’ t about warmth. It’ s about simplicity. Nearly everything guys do is to minimize effort. It’ s why we’ d rather wear the same pants for three days than bring a bigger suitcase. Say we’ re headed to the store on a winter day. We know it’ s
cold out. But we’ ll be in a warm car on the way to the store, in the warm store, and then in the warm car on the way home. A coat would just mean getting hot while we shop. Same thing with umbrellas. If there’ s just a 50 percent chance of showers, why exert 100 percent effort carrying one? Thinking that far ahead is like putting on a condom Friday morning because you might have sex on Saturday night! And where are we supposed to put an umbrella? In our back pocket? At least a condom fits in our wallet— the umbrella can stay home where it belongs.— PETER MARTIN
