manderstand

A man can Manderstand why a woman asks if she looks fat in those jeans... but cannot truly understand the emotional implications of the question.

I manderstand how much you like beer and football, even though I'm not into it.

I completely manderstand why you want me to go to Walmart at 3am for chocolate ice cream and wine coolers.

I manderstand that you are feeling insecure, but I do not understand why or how, because you are so beautiful.

I manderstand the fight you had with your best friend even though I think it's silly.

Manderstanding

When a man fails to understand a statement by a woman that is very easy to understand.

I asked Jeb whether he had picked up milk and cereal at the store for breakfast and he said "What do you mean?" I can't take much more manderstanding.
