Why would a man want to do any of those things?

Sounds like pennance...

Are you sure there aren't any more really cliched gender stereotypes you could squeeze in here?

People, the lists are a JOKE! (Well, sort of.) And the point is probably no one makes those kind of resolutions. (Though Tommy men in love make all sorts of crazy resolutions/promises, and I have heard men make if not all of these resolutions a majority of them.)

And yes, Edward, I am sure if I thought about it for a few more minutes I could have come up with/squeezed in several more really cliched gender stereotypes. ; )

I will finally finish reading that memoir my 83-year-old neighbor wrote, entitled "FROM AN ORTHODOX JEWISH FAMILY TO ORTHODOX MARXISM".

He's an unreconstructed Stalinist, and I really don't want to cross him.

Here's to hoping more men stop telling their wives/girlfriends they look fat in those jeans. And to more women who stop obsessing about their weight. I just think everyone should be happy (and eat a cupcake)! :)

Good luck with that, Mrs. Polly, and right on, Little Miss Cupcake! (Oh to live in Paris! I am going to make visiting there one of my resolutions.)
