Things your partner will never get

    Men and women are different.

    It would be hard to argue with that (well maybe not forwomen cos we’re always right and win every argument, obviously!). Sometimesit really amazes me just how different we actually are though.
    A few things jumped out recently that made me think,wow, men and women really are worlds apart. Examples:

    I have naturally dark brown hair but got blonde highlights afew months ago. My roots were showing really badly so I made a trip to the hairdresserto have them done. My boyfriend’s response to this was, but you already gotthem done a while ago. I tried to explain that they grow out and fade over timebut he didn’t seem to understand this concept and dubbed it a complete waste ofmoney. It’s like he thought my hair would suddenly start growing blonde cos Ihad highlights! :pac:

    I was putting my make-up on before work the other morningwhen he offered me this sage advice –

    You know, you’d be ready for work much quicker if you didn’tbother with all of that stuff.
    Really? You don't say Einstein :rolleyes:
    Lastly, just the other day I received a message to say myWedding dress was ready for collection. I was so excited and I messaged him tolet him know. His answer – are you seriously excited over a dress??? I get anew suit but I don’t care. How can you be so excited over a dress??

    Ehhh, it’s my WEDDING DRESS?!?!!!

    Anything your partner says that makes you think whoa, wereally are bleedin' different!!
    Ps - In before laid, a s*ck job etc etc, tis after hours afterall! ;)

    Sorry, don't know how to change the font, wrote it in word at work and the formatting went all weird when I cut n pasted it!

    My better half, she doesnt 'get' gaming. She does not understand how loosing in the 93rd minute of Fifa is a big deal, or when your Skyrim saved file is corrupt, why it matters so much.

    Men and women really are world apart as you say OP....Here is my own piece of 'sage advice' for what it's worth, ahead of your impending marriage..

    Women marry men expecting them to change.....and they don't.

    Men marry women expecting them not to change...and they do.

    Oh and congratulations.

    Makeup. He thinks I look better with no makeup, I like a newborn goat.
    Shoes and handbags. "You have a pair of black shoes why did you buy another pair?", "how many pairs of feet do you think you have?"
    Eyebrows are another one. "Why do you wax the hair off and draw them on".

    He looks good then opens his mouth and ruins it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,454 ✭✭✭NSAman


    Still don't get why they ask "Does my bum look big in this?" and when you give the answer "Not at all... it looks F***ing MASSIVE!!!', they get annoyed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    What's a sock job?

    The act of rubbing your feet on a penis while wearing socks, preferably to the point of causing an orgasm.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    What's a sock job?

    "Does this dress make my bum look big?"
    "No, the Chinese takeaway you have every night makes your bum look big"

    He thinks I look better without makeup on too and I don't. I look like Milhouse without eyeliner.

    I get the same response whenever I want to buy anything. Why are you buying a bag, don't you already have a bag?

    It's like me asking him why are you buying that sandwich, did you not already eat one of them yesterday?

    Ask him would he be excited about the stockings and suspenders under the dress.
    See is he so smart then.

    Whatever about the rest of your post but the one in bold is a perfectly valid question.

    My wife can never understand why I want to be on time. Her logic is everyone else will be late anyway so we might as well be.

    You digest your bags when you're done with them?

    Things make a lot more sense now. That's why you never see that dress,shoes or bags being used again. She ate them!

    Excuse me, are you also living with my better half? Only yesterday I was talkin to her about this... she says "oh i'll play Skyrim with you if you like". Nah, what..I told her it's FIFA that's a 2 player game. Wasn't havin' it.

    She also said the line "I don't get why it's exciting". Dragons! Champions League!

    This thread makes me realise just how easy I have it with my boyfriend. He never questions anything I do, nor I him. We seem to just 'get' each others' interests.

    I remember watching some tv show where couples would do challenges to show/prove their love/ test their relationship.
    A girl came on saying that at times she thought her bf loved his record collection more than her. She picked out some of his favourite rare records. Out comes the guy to be told on the show by his gf that he had to smash up the rare records to prove his love and if he didn't she would take it as the end of the relationship.
    As a record collector too I remember watching and thinking fck that, for one, the records meant so much to him, and two, no person who loves you would put you in that position.

    In the end, the twt gave in and smashed them up with a hammer. And handed his tiny little balls to her on a plate.

    Every now and then the missus will start giving me a mini update of the lives of the rich and famous, some nuggets she has gleened from the gossip columns. I'm never going to understand women's gossip mags and celebrity columns. I suppose I can understand the interest in a major celebrity wedding, like Clooney and yer one from her perspective. However the endless reams of nonsense about which b lister is dating another and how they had a lovely holiday in numptysville..never going to get it. I'd be more interested in trying to read a japanese phone book.

    :eek: no really... :eek: Da Fuq?. The suggestion itself would be game over for me. Wants me to break my stuff to "prove" my love to her ego's satisfaction? Girlfriend update required pronto. I've encountered a fair few loony tunes of both genders in my life, but that's a new one on me.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I feel I have to agree.

    Not if they were drawn on. They never fail to look tacky and hideous. It's one of the most stupid things any humans do. Utterly pointless, and looks ridiculous.

    I feel like giving you a test to see if you can spot a drawn on eyebrow! They don't all look.like permanent marker

    Herself was getting her lashes done. So I was browsing the men's section of a store in the jervis shopping centre. Didn't have anything in particular in mind was thinking a pair of jeans , maybe??? or some basic stuff like some pants and socks. Not very exciting. I saw a suit jacket and tried it on, thought it looked decent enough. It was prolly the last thing on my mind. When she joined me, she started eying the place. Sure enough she spotted the suit jacket, so I tried it on, and of course she loved it. I then pointed out the pants, which were in my size too.

    End result

    Me: hmmm I have a new suit
    Her: "Oh my god, my tastes are so awesome", she was buzzing for the rest of the weekend.

    I did remember to compliment her on her lashes thou, wouldn't let that slip.

    Here's a real mind f*ck for you, OP ... Women and women are different too!

    I also think you're wasting money highlighting your hair. I don't wear makeup to work because I'd prefer sleep and I think drawn on eye brows are just bizarre.

    It's almost as if we're all unique and different people.

    Some women look hideous without their eyebrows filled in a bit. Have you ever seen someone with lovely make up, nice dress, at a wedding or something and her eyebrows are just none existent?
