Do watch this popular and very funny video clip and tell me what was your fist thought. I loved the video, but why is it called ‘Biggest Difference Between Men and Women’?
Does Steffi’s one witty repartee prove all women are wittier than all men? It doesn’t of course. I know plenty of witty men. (Read this post if you don’t believe me. Or this one.)
Does it prove all men grin, and become shy and tongue tied when they receive unexpected marriage proposals?
Starry pointed out, “In India, probably the male player would ask, ‘How much dowry you giving me?”
Unfortunately, that might be true for at least some Indian men (click to read about one). We even have a Dowry Calculator to help such Indian men.

Lol… Dont you remember my Dowry story !!!! Sigh…
I should have asked the question as clearly as Steffi asked… to avoid any after shocks !
Please add the link here Hitchwriter!!!
Here goes http://hitchwriter.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/the-dowry-that-went-awry/
Me – Thank You
well the idea is to show that all women care about is money and that it’s the first thing that comes to their mind when they evaluate a man. not how a man thinks about a woman. a big stereotype, but at least it manages to make us laugh.
Gee… I knew the moment you asked for the video a post is in the cooking !!!!
All in all this video is hillarious… not a judgement on the wittiness of the females… !!!
We males are obviously better
**ducks the plethora of sandals**
Oh Jeez…a dowry calculator? I checked out all the options…they need to add more castes! And pitch black and fairy white grooms? LOLOL!!!
Check out this joke my husband got in his inbox, IHM.
EVERY woman is a Rani Laxmi Bai.
Before marriage Rani.
During marriage Lakshmi (=dowry).
After marriage Bai (maid).
I haven’t been able to come up with a witty response to this one. Anybody want to try?
Every Man is a Raja Dhanwan Das!
Tis a Joke IHM. To be taken lightly. Not to be analysed
What it actually shows is that Steffi is quick at repartee and Nadal is not. Period.
But of course this can be used by scrupulous people to mean whatever they want.
In India where a man (most) wants to marry the girl bringing the most dowry this does not even begin to look like a joke. If it were about Indians, the man would definitely ask, “How much dowry??” and the girl perhaps would ask, “Can we stay in a separate house??”
Another heavy analysis!!!
Sigh! Nadal is so cute when he blushes! Or didn’t anyone else notice that?
Me- I did, I did!!
I have seen loads of people use such simple and funny episodes that really mean nothing more than a joke and use them to propagate the myth that all women are after money and men are all nice and have to “adjust” between the wife and mother. Sooner or later, they come to their senses.
That is the biggest difference!
You ladies noticed Nadal.
I noticed Steffi!

hahaha! Well said GV! That is the only difference
THis is one comment I loved !
I agree wholeheartedly!
People tend to generalize a lot as per their own assumptions
Loved that dowry calculator.
I couldn’t enter my age.(62)
So I entered (51+)
It indicated a paltry 35 lakh as my worth in the dowry market.
I changed the age to 26 (the age I married)
The dowry shot up to 65 lakh!
Feels so nice!
Gotta show that to my wife
Let her know how much her Dad saved.

There was a song, I think:
Man smart, woman smarter.
Steffi was quick with her repartee.
Even the biggest loser possible gets around 8 lakhs as dowry! :O
I love this video.
Nadal only blushed and knew not what to do, whereas Steffi recovered (or rather covered her embarassment) with aplomb. I could say Steffi was smarter and wittier. And that’s actually all that’s there to it.
But yeah, the money factor- it’s a typical joke for the guys. Of course, if we women to make the similar joke about men, many would have been highly affronted, and always combat by enumerating “the flaws of women”. Yet, it was my school-going cousin, a kid, who was (tried to be) “romanced” (putting it very nicely here) by a guy 10-years older, because her father was apparently rich, and would definitely leave the house for his daughter!
My unemployed cousin is getting 10L + car
WTF.
Aww, MoRS, that just really, really sucks. What’s the going rate for professional women who work 12 hours a day? What has your unemployed cousin done to deserve that kind of dowry? Oh wait a minute, he is a man; and that’s all you really need to get your grubby paws on another man’s wealth (and daughter).
