2. The comfort of the couch is more important than how "pretty" it is

Hmm. What a concept right?

(Background information: There was a couch in the room I was moving into)

Trey: Hey Mallory, do you want to keep a couch in your room?
Mallory: Yea, that's fine.
Trey: I was just wondering if you would want the black couch in the living room instead since that is technically "your couch". It is up to you, but we will move it for you if you want though.

Now mind you, the couch in the living room has a black very nice couch cover. It also happens to have red pillows. My room just so happens to be black, white, and red. (Coincidence?) The couch in my new room is blue, green, and yellow plaid. It looks like it came right out of the seventies. And honestly? I don't even think I would have liked the color if I lived in the seventies!

Mallory: Well, I would at least love the couch cover!
Trey: Okay, I just really like how comfortable the couch in the room is. I thought it would be better for the living room. (which of course I don't understand because why would you put the ugly couch as the first thing people see when they walk in?)

It is at that point that I realized that Trey and I weren't even talking about the same thing. I was talking about which couch would LOOK better in my room and he was talking about which couch was more COMFORTABLE. Go figure.

1. Boys don't care

Boys sure are alot easier than girls (of course this is generally speaking). In general the girl roommates I have had in the past care about every little detail. We talk things out and plan and boys really don't care. It's refreshing.

Mallory: I was hoping that I might be able to start moving in this weekend if that is okay.
Trey: Yea, thats fine. We don't care when you start.
Mallory: Okay, well I just have to be out this week. You don't think Kyle will care do you?
Trey: No. Kyle wont care. You can start moving now if you want.
Mallory: Well, Kyle just has some stuff in the room and I don't want him to feel like I am pushing him out of his room.
Trey: Nah, just move his stuff. He wont care.
Mallory: I mean, I would move in later, but I have to be out by the 31st and this week is going to be busy so this weekend really is the best time. I just don't want to make him move when hes gone this weekend. And I really want to get started on cleaning my apartment out and stuff and...
Trey: Mallory. Really. We don't care. You will have to stop asking.
Mallory: Oh.

And then I got it. Boys don't REALLY care about the small stuff.
