Why are women so annoying?

    Ok I’m sure a couple of men can be assholes occasionally. And I know that not every woman is, just the majority.

    My girlfriend had a hospital appointment and as a kind, generous and overall just super guy I said I would bring her. She says to me the night before “make sure you wear something nice”.

    Oh did the letter from the doctor say it was a black tie event? Is the prognosis or advice or medicine prescribed going to be different depending on my clothes?
    Firstly, do you think I’m going to turn up in pajamas ffs? Secondly, I went to work in the morning so she knew I’d be smartly dressed. “Oh don’t wear that wine jumper you wear to work”. For someone who is so concerned about what I’m wearing, she hadn’t noticed I haven’t worn that for months and it’s a nice jumper anyway.

    Her comment had no impact on what I wore but when I collected her looking well, I’m sure she thought to herself, oh he listened to me, thank god I said something. Of course at the hospital most people were just wearing jeans, tshirt etc.

    This isn’t just my girlfriend. You’d see plenty of examples of this kind of sh!t on tv or on nights out or in supermarkets. I’ve worked in a number of offices and plenty of women would tell stories about the stupid things they said to their partner. So what’s the reason for these kind of pointless comments? They enjoy telling people what to do, want to be the boss? Just enjoy annoying men?

    Are you a woman OP?
    That's the only way this can work.

    Let it out OP. Let it out.

    We can be annoying. Shrug.

    Sounds like you have a wine jumper that you wont give up and makes you look like a hobo.
    This is not a gender thing, it a wine jumper thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    Well she is your girlfriend so how does that reflect on you?

    Break up with her.

    Always interests me the way people who complain about the opposite sex still can't cope without a partner (of the opposite sex)!

    I can't stand women like that - and there are a lot of them - but to say they're the majority is way off.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    a wine jumper....what is wrong with a wine jumper???

    Or maybe its the separation of work you from ....you.

    Is it wine coloured?
    Or is it his wine jumper, as in when he drinks wine he wears that particular jumper?

    Maybe he wears it, I mean drinks a little too much?
    And that was just her code for asking him to show up sober?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,203 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    Burgundy colour jumper is never good unless you are 60 year old math teacher with corduroy trousers.

    Maybe its like the jumper is the 'work him'. And she doesn't want 'work him' to bring her to the hospital. She doesn't want work boyfriend in the work uniform. She wants boyfriend boyfriend.

    I'd generally agree with that myself S, except when things go into the romantic, when they can be a complete bloody headmelt. Then again maybe men(tm) are too, women(tm) complain enough about them, but I dunno as I'm not gay.

    This. So much this. People differ enough that you should be able to find someone who is compatible with your own headspace. Deliberately going out with people who wreck your head just because they have a fanny/dick always struck me as a bit daft, though many, if not most will do it at some point.

    I know I did for a time. My niche(though in my experience I have to say it's a lot of women) was the never happy for long types. Always some bloody whinge or other in the mix and I found myself running around putting out one small fire after another, with the occasional raging bushfire. Like they were slightly uncomfortable in their skin all the time. I learned that in life try to always seek out those with the happy mindset as their basic default, in friendships and especially relationships. If you want drama, a season ticket to your local cinema should suffice.

    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.

    Shorts, sliders and a wine jumper. Nice!

    What’s wrong with her anyway?

    OP sounds bound up and estrogen dominant. OP what's your alcohol intake per week like? Hard to advise further unless you reveal your weight and personal hygiene regime. Would you typically wear the same clothes the entire week? Are you ugly or mediocre in the looks department? Sorry to be so forward but these are important questions.

    Yep, 100% of the time. No man in history has ever sought conflict in his relationship.

    And it's awful too the way a gun is put to these poor men's heads forcing them to be in relationships with women. :(

    Because wired for babies?, giving an annoyingly 'vital' importance to every small little thing?

    That may sound derogatory/ sexist but obviously its a hugely important biological / social function that men are, to a greater or lesser extent, 'spared'.

    This. Top Tip for young men entering the game.
    Play the long game. Doesnt sweat the small stuff, sacrifices little trivial wins over a (its burgundy) jumper, and endure occaisonal whines, for a comfortable, extended life. Manufacturer the odd flare up to keep her on her toes. Not letting her turn into a Hyacith Bucketesque nag. Vanish for a couple of hours, and dont cut the grass regularly. And refuse to do things occaisonally, culture a bad back around 6 Nations time. Unless youre going to Paris with the lads.
    Pick your battles. And you'll need to, or else she'll lose all respect for you.


    BTW OP, ever consider she just wanted you to look nice, she'd be parading you in front of all the knocked up single moms (assuming natal appointment here) silently and judgementally screaming the way women do to each other, "in your face bitches, this one's mine"
