If you ask me to move a piece of furniture with a guy, we're like synchronized swimmers. Around corners, up stairs, we each know where the other one is going and what they're doing. It doesn't matter if the other guy is tall, short, black, white, smart, dumb, or if he's a tribesman from New Guinea. We pick the thing up and we're like Chang and Eng Bunker.

But if you ask me to move a piece of furniture with a woman, we're negotiating and banging walls and I'm always saying stuff like, "Tilt it a little. No, the other way. No, not that way, the other way. Further. Now lift. No, lift further. See that thing over - OW! CRAP! MY FINGER JUST GOT SMASHED IN THE DOOR JAMB!" And when the furniture is finally moved we're not getting along very well.

Yes, the kinder, gentler sex does not take well to shouting nonsensical commands at them while lugging around a piece of furniture.
