    No he said he was messing, still though..

    Here's mine: Farting, you men do it anytime any place without a hint of remorse. I don't need to be smelling your insides thanks.

    Double standards.

    Staring at tits - yes we can see you.

    Hairy backs.

    Most men need to learn what and where a clit is, google is your friend.

    When a man answers with a grunt he's busy and you are disturbing him, when a girl does it she's an ignorant bitch.

    Music music music. The young lasses have destroyed the music scene with their black eyed whotsitz and their Tee pains and their spice girls and whatever the young wans be into today.

    And the cleaning thing. Just because YOU want to clean does NOT mean I want to.

    But I know I bug the hell outta my other half too so it's an equal circle of infuriation.

    I think that happens because things being neat and tidy around the house is more important to more women than men. Men often don't get the payoff (emotionally) from doing these things that women do. I think that's why women end up doing most of the housework, because they get more pleasure from the end result than men.

    It could be argued that a much of the house cleaning should be done by the person who gets the benefit of it being done. If one person doesn't care either way if there is some dust on the table then why should that person have to clean it. They are perfectly happy with the dust on the table. Maybe the person who does care about it should do it themselves.

    I'm not even talking about housework, apart from family I've never lived with a boy/man (plus I hate housework myself, my mother despairs at my lack of pride in my house)

    Although I don't buy the whole "they don't care about it, therefore they shouldn't have to do it"- I get zero pleasure from housework, I just do it for general hygiene and cleanliness. My house, for example, is kind of untidy, but it's not dirty.

    I hate that you have to tell the majority of men a MILLION times to do something before it gets done, but that the woman ends up being "a nag" when the man eventually does it.

    (Actually I generally find the company of men easier than the company of women, that's just one thing that bugs me about men).
    I'm so guilty of this. Procrastination is definitely more a male thing.

    People don't do anything without a payoff. You do it because it satisfies you. If you didn't get pleasure in some form from housework you wouldn't do it.It doesn't satisfy the man as much so the equilibrium outcome is the woman doing most of the houseword and/or nagging the man to do housework.

    Passive aggressiveness – just say what you want, I’m not a mind-reader.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    The sense of entitlement that some women have.

    Pick one.

    Me: "But what did I even do!? If you don't tell me why you're mad then I can't make you happy can I? What did I do wrong!?"
    Her: "Well if I have to tell you what you did wrong, then you're just missing the point completely. I thought you would have realised that."

    Me: "BUT WHAT DID I DO!? WHY ARE YOU SO PISSED OFF!?"
    Her: "Well if you don't know by now, I'm not going to tell you."

    Me: "Do you want some?" *offers chips*
    Her: "No I'm fine I had dinner."
    Me: "You sure? I'll throw some on for ya?"
    Her: "Yeah definitely. I won't eat anything else."
    *I go to the toilet for two minutes and find half my chips gone*
    Me: "You said you didnt want any!"
    Her: "I wasn't hungry then!"

    Me: "Alright but I need my sleep tonight. Im up at 8 and I was late for work last week."
    Her: "Haha yeah no problem, I'll head off around 2"
    *me getting into bed*
    Her: "Why are you going to bed? I didn't tell you about X during the week and we were gonna watch Y."
    Me: "Its 2:30, I need bed."
    Her: "Dya want me to leave?"
    Me: "....kind of...you said you were heading for 2?"
    Her: "OH MY GOD I can't believe you said that!!"

    Women who constantly give out about men about things they are equally guilty of!!

    i.e sexism, double standards, stereotyping, discrimination etc

    Well if you call not living in your own filth "pleasure" then fair enough. I just see it as not wanting to end up living like those people who you see on "How Clean Is Your House" or that girl Ross dated in Friends with the brown sticky goo in between the couch cushions.

    No he said he was messing, still though.. your too sensitive, he was messing because he just said...he was messing...???

    Here's mine: Farting, you men do it anytime any place without a hint of remorse. I don't need to be smelling your insides thanks. Its nature & women fart as well.

    Double standards.

    Staring at tits - yes we can see you. Then cover em up a bit if your very conscious about them being stared at.

    Hairy backs.

    Most men need to learn what and where a clit is, google is your friend.

    When a man answers with a grunt he's busy and you are disturbing him, - best not to disturb him with some inane question when he's busy then!

    The Hairy back thing? In all fairness that makes you sound a little shallow. Its the equivalent of a man saying ' i wasn't into her because she had small breasts'

    Men who complain on the boards about women, when they should be out mowing the lawn, putting out the bins and making me a sandwich...:D:D:D

    When guys assume that because I have a second X chromosome, I'm going to be too dumb to know when they're spouting absolute bull.

    Trust me, we know when you're talking out of your ass. We just don't point it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    I don't think he was serious... I hope I'm right about this...

    yeah on everything... except that spanking bit :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,960 ✭✭✭allandanyways


    The way men want sex as soon as ye wake up.

    Just give me like five minutes to open my eyes and I'll ride you like a pony. That's all I want, five minutes.

    When we are watching programme or Movie and she turns to me and says something like "Whats he up to? Is he the baddie? or whats happening"

    Eh..Hello!!! Im watching as long as you are, If I knew what was going to happen 5 mins into the programme it wouldnt be interesting!

    Every single woman ive watched a movie with has said something along those lines at one point or another.


    I can live with anything they throw at me except the above and the "Im Fine". Two words you know that are going to ruin your day :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭Italia


    Believe me, even if one of us did, you'd still find something in the sandwich to complain about :P

    Nothing really, I don't think all men have similar annoying traits. Its just the individual assholes I don't like.

    Man has affair: What a selfish pr;ick. No loyalty, no respect for anyone else. All men are b@stards.

    Woman has affair: Obviously her husband wasn’t attending to her emotional needs/paying her enough attention forcing her seek solace elsewhere. All men are b@stards.


    You're hanging around with the wrong peeps if that's what they think :confused:

    In other news, the way blokes have to watch every football match (if they like football) even if they don't support the team :(

    When a guy says he feels weird because he happens to be the only guy in a group of girls at the time...

    I never feel self conscious about being the only woman in a group of men, pssh.:pac:

    I think thats just very immature, most straight men should relish a chance like that.

    When a guy approaches you when you are out...

    Talk to him for a while, you're interested and leading him on, not talk for long and you are a bitch. You can't win!

    When guys feel they have a God given right to grab your ass or tits in a nightclub

    When men don't think you know anything about sport just because you're a woman (loved this when I was younger and playing football cos 90% of the time I'd be better than the men :p )

    When random guys wolf whistle and shout sleazy things to you on the street

    Double standards - too many to mention

    When guys have no idea to 'get a girl worked up' if you know what I mean ;) and go straight for the end goal :mad::o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭starviewadams


    The stupidity of 90% of women.

    I hate how they always expect to be the small spoon.

    but it's just awkward being a big spoon
