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.

When they open their mouths, sometimes words come out.

Just kidding. :biggrin:

Are we really going there? This should be a lively topic.

Women already have a hard time as it is; Menopause, Giving birth, gender wage gaps, social rights, and of course the most important one...the inability to use a urinal.

I feel like i'm in no position to knit pick against them!

I hate how women are so insecure about their looks and/or how they always beat themselves up over it.

Granted, this isn't all women who do this, but I have yet to meet one who was genuinely happy with how they look. I'm sure they exist... somewhere out there in a galaxy far, far away. :P

On a related note, I also hate makeup. :yuck:

The only thing that bothers me is if they ignore me. Otherwise, I bloody love them.

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

This one cannot be saved, he is too far gone. Get the shovel electric, we have some digging to do.

Though in all seriousness, nothing about the opposite six bothers me I think. Aside from maybe being in their company at certain times of the month. But even that is here or there.

You don't have gender?



Hmmm, well, at the moment, it is women who I used to like striking up conversation with me just as I was trying to strike up conversation with a different one that I do currently like.

The cruel irony.

Then me having to articulate normal speech while my brain is going "you [censored] [censored]! You [censored] stupid [censored]!"



But apart from that, everything is mostly my fault. :biggrin:

I can't say there's something every woman does that annoys me, but women drivers is close. Don't get me wrong, not every woman is a bad driver, but every woman in my life is.

Most of my quams come with people that are over-controlling more than any gender difference. Not to say I haven't met a few too many controlling women, but also men of equal or greater value.
I don't remember right now, it all gets filed under: "people I keep my head down around as voices raise"

1. That they're the fairer six - my being stronger doesn't seem a fair trade for girls being prettier than me (some of them, anyway)...

2. Their assumption or expectation that I'll treat them differently, perhaps favourably, because of their wiles (willpower save: *success*).

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.

Come on girls, even the odds. We guys have a lot of faults to pick from. :)

I'm not, my metabolism is ridiculousl and I'm skinny as hell because of it, the only way for me to reliably gain weight unless my metablism slows down is to go on a massive protein cure and excersise intensely pretty much every other day. Do i obsess over it though? No, why should I? I know I can do do somethign about it if I commit to it but I have other things going on right now and I need to prioritise.

This bothers me too by the way, especially when beautifull women complain that they're ugly. I have two problems with that. First, most are just trying to get attention, and that's just pathetic. If you want attention, be an interesting or fun person to be around, simple as that. Second, nobody likes people who are insecure, nobody. I have insecurities, I don't flaunt them, why would I? If all you're looking for is sympathy or pity, you can look somewhere else, I've got other things to deal with.

EDIT: I know this is a low blow, but during that time of the week, either lock yourself in the bathroom with enough food to last you that whole week, or start taking valium. I can understand that it svcks, but is that my fault? No.
This ties into the whole emotion vs. reason thing. when i am in pain, I'm in pain. That's pretty much it, I will get irritable but that only makes me go out of my way to not snap at people, because I know they don't have it coming. The only exception to this is when I don't get my nicotine...if I am not drunk as a substitute, god help you. I just realised I may not be in the best position to talk here after all, but I said it was a low blow. :P

I don't like how conflicted they are on the inside. First there's the whole equal rights thing. Then if perchance they are treated equally to men but in a negative way, the whole "Ladies first!" thing comes up. Make up your minds!

Women, eh? Probably that everything is so super-serious to them, and their occasional inability to take everything us wacky guys say seriously.

They don't say what they mean, think with the wrong part of their body, they smell funny, they have stupid hobbies that use up way too much money...
There, summed it up for everybody.

I think the reason that us women tend to cry a lot more than men is basically hormones, particularly in the teenage years. I'm 16(ish), I find myself crying over stupid little things, but I try not to let people know that I am upset. Some girls are just looking for attention though, and will make the biggest drama in public over the littlest thing. There are some fine examples of that at my school. I figure that we tend to be more ruled by our emotions because we have to be good mothers to our children. We've gotta be so completely adoring of them so we can take care of them well until they leave home. We can only control our emotions to a point, I suppose :)

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:

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