The way some men become right know-it-alls at table quizes.
How some men have iphones and Blackberries now and think they can get away with staring it during conversations. I often find women are the ones left to keep the conversation flowing while some men can sit there and say nothing and not be seen as big weirdo-heads.
The way some men think women aren't funny and go on about it. You think you're so bleedin' hilarious that you are somehow the self-appointed funnyometer of the universe? Off ye pop....
The way some men remove their body hair. For the love of God, leave it be! Even the arse hair.
That's it. Overall you're a grand bunch. Well done.
Often, the girl is not keeping the conversation going as she is just moaning and complaining and doesn't want to do anything about the situation. She just needs to 'offload'. Well excuse me if I get tired of this and tune out. It get real boring real fast.

when you specifically explain to the significant other, how and why him doing xyz, will = armageddon. he then agrees that he can see your point, and "gets it". Cue later on, and significant other is doing the said xyz. Its like, WTF???? did i just have that whole conversation with youe f8cking clone and he forgot to pass on the message :mad:
and thennnnnn, to add insult to injury, spend the next hour askin ye whats wrong, while looking bewildered, and you have to answer "nothing" through gritted teeth, because if you start to explain, you'll lose the head and gouge his eyes out with a spoon....................................................
seriously lads, ye have the whole pretending to listen thing down to a fine art, yis dont even have the glazed look anymore which is generally the give-away....nooooo, yis can actually make a girl believe yis are tuned in.....except when ^^^^this happens....then its like, would ye not just actually listen, it would save so much aggro

:pac::pac: Ah but you see just like that whole first paragraph, what really happens is woman starts explaining why it will equal armageddon but man really cant make head or tails of what the hell shes trying to say but knows that if he doesnt agree with her and pretend he gets it all hell will break loose so what we do instead is begin to nod and smile yeh we completely understand honey :pac: when in our head were going WTF so later on we just wing it hoping to god thay we get it right and avoid all arguments:).0 -

Actually another one along these lines, snooping. IME women snoop in relationships more than men. Now men can be equally if not moreso insane jealous morons, but generally snoop much less. Of course many women will not see it as snooping. They may not even notice they're doing it. They make excuses for being distrusting snoops. "Oh I had a "gut" feeling and had to check. My gut is ALWAYS right" is a common one. To which many of her female mates will crow on about how they trust their gut completely and how it's ALWAYS right too. Many will support her in this snooping, cos you know it's not invasion of privacy when the ladies do it. 9 times outa 10 there's the self fulfilling prophecy going on too. Or results after teh fact. IE they'll snoop on 5 blokes, 2 will turn out to be pricks, therefore her "gut" is ALWAYS right and gives further backup to another excuse to snoop.Yea there is a HUGE double standard in womans attitudes towards cheating when its a man compared to a woman! It really infuriates me!
I've caught a couple doing this. One woman early on I had the notion something was afoot. My "gut" as it were, though I decided I was being daft so ignored it. Now I mentioned the whole snooping is baaad M'kay thing to her horrified reply of "oh I agreeee. It's sooo bad". On the fourth date IIRC I went to the loo and came back and thought my phone was at a jaunty angle on the table. So when she was at the loo, I typed a new message in the text level of the phone. I go off to the loo a second time and come back to a face like an Easter Island statue chewing a wasp. Major touch of the Charlie chaplins, all picture no sound. What's wrong says I somewhat cruelly. NOTHING! says she unconvincingly. What was written on that text? "If you're reading this you're not terribly honest, trusting or trustworthy are you? There as no fifth date.
Oh we do listen C. Why don't we follow? We don't agree with you, but rather than get into something longwinded we just nod, or we agree with you but think it unimportant so nod along to keep you happy. Most of all? We do it for the Quiet life(tm). Now I agree, it's very silly. Because the Quiet Life we seek is only temporary. So yep it's best to actually listen, think about it, then if we agree just do it and if we think you're wrong getting it out in the open there and then.carlybabe1 wrote: »seriously lads, ye have the whole pretending to listen thing down to a fine art, yis dont even have the glazed look anymore which is generally the give-away....nooooo, yis can actually make a girl believe yis are tuned in.....except when ^^^^this happens....then its like, would ye not just actually listen, it would save so much aggroMany worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
