Look, ladies, if scientist Stephen Hawking, whom we as a society have chosen to designate as the world's smartest man—the guy who literally wrote the book called The Theory of Everything—admits that even a person in possession of his vast intellectual capabilities and comprehension of the systems that make our world run cannot understand women, how do you expect someone of my much more modest intelligence to figure out why the hell you're crying? Get off my back.

Because knowing all about black holes would make someone an expert on women?
@Pop Socket Gross, dude.
Sympathy tears?
Geeks Lack Emotional Intelligence, Woman Confirms
He's no prize either - always with the ,"does this wheelchair make me look fat?"
@NotAndersonCooper
I thought he had a new suit.
@NotAndersonCooper - The whitewall tires aren't helping matters.
Add this to Anthony Michael Hall's assertion in Weird Science that we can't hold our smoke, and it makes you wonder why any men hang out with us at all.
@C_Webb That assertion was made in Breakfast Club.
@jolie You are absolutely right. I thought it was the blues bar scene in Weird Science. As someone who saw both those movies in the theater, I should probably be executed. (Damn, I should have just held with AMH ...)
@C_Webb BTW, anyone who saw me gack on a stolen cigarette at the Holiday Bawl might think I actually believe AMH's statement, but I'd like to point out that as it turns out I had walking (drinking, smoking) pneumonia at the time.
@C_Webb ! ! ! I hope you're ok!
@boyofdestiny Yes, thanks. Still coughing, though. Mostly just embarrassed; until that night I considered myself a skilled enough party smoker to merit a valuable cigarette. No more. I am not worthy.
Funny, 'cause we're generally crying about how the weather reminds us of our regrets and bleak futures.
Oddly, the Guardian didn't mention the Family Guy bits.

To be fair, in writing, you can't really tell the tone of his comments.
Stephen Hawking gets one wish from a genie, and ask for a faster than speed of light spaceship, but genie says "are you nuts? do you have any idea what it would take to build something like that? I'd have to alter the way the entire universe works. ask something easier please!". So Stephen Hawking asks genie to explain women to him, and the genie says "all right Stephen, this spaceship of yours, how many passengers and how much cargo do you want it to carry?"
I doubt he understands other men, or himself, for that matter, very well, either, it's just that he's not approaching other men on an emotional level so the problem doesn't materialize.
