what bothers you most about the opposite six

What bothers me about women? A few things, keep in mind that these are generalisations, but they are based on my experience. Take it all with a grain of salt, but overall i think these things apply to enough women to be valid.

Most women seem to be ruled by their emotions, that bothers me. Not just in women of course, I know plenty of men who let their emotions control their lives as well, and it just...annoys me, I can't descirbe it any other way. All that does is lead to overreactions and drama. Whereas people who try not to be emotion and let reason do it's job instead (Such as me and most men i know) tend to be much more measured and able to not make an enormous deal out of completely nonsensical issues. Women also cry more in general, I don't see the point, crying doesn't solve anything it just annoys the people around you, it's okay to be sad but why make such a big deal out of it? For attention? Why? I don't get it.

Also, most women seem to think that men are great at picking up sublte hints and are able to read minds and body language like a book with giant print. Breaking news! We are not. This annoys me in general, not just when women do it. if you want to say something, just [censored]ng say it already, stop beating around the bush and get to the point, maybe then I would know what you want. Worth a try don't you think?

There's more, but the list could go on forever. Honestly though, if women could just being more direct and less confusing the world would be a better place. And in general, something that applies to everyone, reason will always trump emotion. Always.
This about sums it up for me, in a nutshell.

I mean, getting emotional can be fun at times, surely. And we wouldn't have reason without emotion. But I'd rather be reasonable most of the time than emotional most of the time.

And, to think, I actually have a girlfriend. Real life one, even! :P

Why do they have to take up the bathroom for an hour and a half?

I'm good with it as long as I'm in as well. :teehee:

What bothers me about males? I don't really know. I tend to get along quite well with guys, but I suppose it does annoy me when they're blatantly bragging how wonderful they are at everything, especially when they're really not. Sometimes I'm a bit intimidated by males, but I suppose that goes both ways. To be honest, girls annoy me more than guys :shrug:

Ah, so you agree that we males are basically wonderful at everything. Good.

Now go make me a cup of tea carrot sandwich! (I actually ate one of those the other day, seriously.)

Children cry. Women and Men ought not to, at least not over trivial things.

I know that. I hate crying, especially for no reason, because I feel pathetic and stupid. But sometimes you sorta can't help it. It's difficult to explain :/

I just remembered something. I hate feeling unintelligent around men.

To be honest, I'm struggling to think of things that annoy me, but I can't say that I've ever really been in a serious relationship before. Also, I hope you enjoyed your sandwich :D

Eh, don't feel bad about it, sometimes any emotion is better than feeling none at all. Trust me on that.

Hmm, me too. Strange, maybe I don't feel as threatened by a woman who makes me feel stupid as when a man makes me feel stupid. There's this constant sense of oneupmanship that you just don't get with the opposite six. That's probably why I refuse to trust most men.

I don't mean to be sixist or rude, but some women take feiminism way too seriously. Sometimes they are the ones being sixist. I saw some girl posted on an article about women being able to see a different spectrum of colours (which sounds like BS, btw) and her comment was "Ha! take that Y chromasome!" Now, if a guy said something like that to a girl, that would be a mess. I'm all for gender equality, but whether they know it or not this feminism stuff is getting way out of hand. Now not everyone does this, but alot do, that I've seen, anyway.
But I don't like (most) people the same gender as ME. Most other guys just think with their crotch and do/say really stupid things.

Women are more affected emotionally by things in general, so of course they express more their emotions, like when they cry. And crying does resolve things, it's a way to manifest your emotions and prevent them to being supressed. We're taught from an early age that crying is bad, but supressing emotions is worse because they'll show up as emotional or physical symptomatic manifestations.

But yea I don't understand people that lead their lives based on their emotions, I'm more of the opposite.

Feminism and Civil Rights in this day and age are more about, "Well, we'd LIKE equality, but we want to have more than the other guy." People need more common sense, I mean, you can't make a joke to your friend without someone butting in with "You know, that's very offensive to _____ !"

oneupmanship

I declare this my favourite word in the world.

Now about this "no one can understand women" thing... No one can understand people. Seriously, I can guarantee that the only person you possibly understand is yourself and commonly even that is not the case.

Me neither, hence most of my annoyances being pretty abstract (and probably untrue half of the time). And I did, thanks; grated carrot and lettuce. :happy:

Buddy, they are fishing for compliments. Ply them on, sweetly, gently and with most erudite poise and they shall be like butter on hot toast. Scorn one and they'll sink your battleship. :o


That's not true. My self esteem has been in the complete toilet when I was in the worst of my depression. I'd only say something looks bad because it would seriously come out of my mouth before I could stop, since it was always going through my mind. I've never once tried for compliments in my life. Maybe just because I don't care what other people think. My problem was that I cared how I thought about myself.

Why do they have to take up the bathroom for an hour and a half?

If you mean for getting ready, probably makeup/hair. Which I don't bother with much.. so I'm about a solid 20 minutes ;)

3. Their tendency to expect, nay, demand gender equality when it benefits them, all the while expecting not to be punched(!), made fun of, etc because of their gender.

I don't like women like that. I'm far from a feminist, mostly because I think it is a completely mental movement. A man severely ruined my life as a child, and yet I still don't feel I'm "oppressed." Granted, that event has haunted me my whole life, but I'm not about to think I get benefits for that. People are people. Agreed@fatman.

Hmm men.. men men men.. well, I can't really think of a generalized problem I have with men. Each six has its annoyances.

Oh and, I don't want to seem like my childhood bit I mentioned was for attention.. I'm just open about it now because I'm sick of it ruling me.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I can't stand when someone uses their heart instead of their mind. Unfortunately most of the time it's a trait of women :sadvaultboy:

Psychology, my son. Subconscious and all that crap. People often make decisions and take actions which they can't explain even to themselves. Colloquially that's called "acting on impulse" or "gut feeling".

Well, I won't say that I can define every human and every action to the T, but I think people are simpler than you are crediting.

[] If you point is more that we cannot know everything, then that makes more sense to me.

Maybe you are just overestimating my credit?

Sort of. My point is that we can't know (understand) everything about our own selves, let alone other people (including female people :P ).

This, all this as a generalization. I can't really come up with anything other then this to be honest unless it's women in the military crying that they want to be able to have "Combat Arms" jobs(which means actually fighting) but they don't want to adhere to the same physical fitness standards as men. Annoys me to death.
