I've had female roommates too and it is ALWAYS drama and bull ****.. they are never happy and nag and complain about everything.. this thread is the perfect example.. it always has to be a complaint.. women are not happy unless they have something to complain about. It's something that they think is "bonding" and strengthens social circles or something.. I will never understand..

its a fun thred, get off your high horse lady ...none of us are actualy nagging or complaining to our signifigant others we are just puting out things that are fun that men dosnt seem to get. sometimes. im sure most people in this thred are in good loving relationships . you dont seem to get this consept

Honestly though, I've never been too girly so I don't have like a fluffillion pillows, and I'm not really over-complicated. I guess my SO got real lucky with that :laugh:

Haha, I use two pillows, he uses one, but we share a blanket, and the only pillow on our bed are the ones we use lol

is it so hard to finish one bottle of shampoo or conditioner before moving on to the next one?

*raises hand* guilty! :embarassed: lol. I leave my bottles everywhere!

jeninabilan

yep.. high horse, that's me

I didn't make my statements to make friends.. I'm a *****, it's a known fact.. But at least I know how to treat a man and appreciate him.

Grab a beer, kick up your feet and chill the **** out..

Jenina, I so agree, they so need to. I think the problem is that most women think its fun to complain. The other women and men tell jokes and funny stories. I think jokes are more fun. Maybe its just me but then again, ill never understand women.

Wow... this thread really went awry. Listen, men and women have quirks.... I believe the OP started this as a way to joke about those quirks. Me? I don't care HOW my husband folds the towels, does the dishes, etc.... I appreciate that he does.... lol, but yeah, in the end - in my head, MY WAY is the right way.

The shampoo and conditioner thing? So many of us women are guilty of that... it's a quirk and I'm sure it kinda drives my husband bonkers... but he loves me, and he deals with it.

Jenina, I prefer to be around men more than women too.... but seriously, you came in to a fun-loving thread and doused a big ol wet blanket on it. No one was actually "COMPLAINING" about their SO. Ok, well maybe I was last night a bit... dammit, I really wanted my apple! LOL... but hey, he saved me the calories.

I'm married to the most amazing man in the world, who after 6 years of marriage and 8 years together still completely rocks my world on a daily basis. We revel in each others quirks! Shoot - we find constant humor in it... we're constantly flipping the toilet paper roll around on one another. Because I like the toilet paper to come over the roll, he likes it to come out under. He's 6'3 - I'm 5'2 - he doesn't understand the way that I've arranged our cabinets... but then again - he doesn't understand that it's like to have the top shelf be a complete waste of space. On the good side... he can hide all of his junk food on the top shelf and I'll never know it's there. LOL. Differences are fun - and laughing at them is fun - it doesn't mean we're complaining!

It's not that they aren't understandable. It's that they think they're ridiculous.

I don't understand why women complain about men not understanding them, when they make no effort to understand or accept why men do some things that they do, or try to look past their stereotypes of men.

P.S., i am a girl

Why can't men understand that when they ask us what's wrong and we say, "Nothing"... that it's SOMETHING and they should be able to figure it out... lol

"Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps;
Ready to help you through any mishaps;
Ready to buck you up whenever you're glum.
Why can't a woman be a chum?

Why is thinking something women never do?
And why is logic never even tried?
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside?

Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing,
Or carry on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?"

Okay i am gonna have to side with men on somethings....

I personally do not understand why women write on their eyes with little pencils.
Why they add EXTRA eyelashes
How it takes them 3 hours to get ready
And why they spend so much time on their hands and feet which nobody sees anyways

Really! I Love make up. And my BF ALWAYS notices when I get a new nice french manicure - I like to look good for myself. Makes me feel good

JennaM222

Mine waits to get ready to go out until I am done. Although it takes him half the time to get ready now I have to wait. Or he will take a shower while I am doing my hair..... hello I dont need the extra humidity in the air.....

Argh! Mine does this too. I am trying to blow dry my hair while you are taking a hot shower?

Is that a challenge???

JennaM222

I have come the conclusion they really have no clue. They honestly dont. Men are so simple. you HAVE TO TELL THEM EXACTLY what is wrong if you want a reaction.change/things to get better.

Poor men, so clueless.

JennaM222

OKAY>> WTF?!?!

Are you SERIOUSLY complaining that your man is doing the dishes wrong? At least he is doing the dishes!!!

Complaining that he is folding laundry wrong? At least he is folding laundry!!!

Complaining that he grabs your boobs? You're right, he's not supposed to like them..

Complaining that he wants to watch football when it's on instead of have sex RIGHT then? Become a ****ing lesbian!!


UGHHH seriously.. Y'all need to pick your battles.. Is towel folding and dish placement really that important?

What ever happened to just hanging out, enjoying each other and not nagging over EVERY little thing?

Yes, there might be towels on the floor and the clothes might not be hung up, and we may sit down and have a beer while watching football and having sex AFTER.. but hell, I have NEVER had a bad relationship and have always been treated like a queen.. why? Cuz I don't give a **** about the petty stuff..

Have you ever lived with a boyfriend??

LOL THIS. This thread was meant to be light hearted and silly. We ALL have little quirks. I know what I do that bothers my BF and he hasnt even said anything about it once. I do my make up on the bathrom by "his" sink becasue it is closest to the outlets. He is slightly OCD and I know it drives him crazy when I forget to rinse the sink after apply my bronzer becasue golden little flakes fly everywhere. I know it drives him crazy becasue when I exit the bathroom after getting ready he B lines in there and pretends to wash his hands. I go in there...sink it spotless. lol

:laugh: Save it for a bumper sticker, sweetheart.

You need to unclench-- this is all fun & games. I was reading some of the posts to my boyfriend last night who thought it was hilarious because it's things ALL couples go through, the tiny quirks that are fun to laugh at.

I have a feeling that if there were a thread where men were complaining about things women don't understand, you'd join right in with them.

Besides-- I absolutely adore grabbing a beer, kicking my feet up and relaxing with him. But he had better use a coaster. :happy:

May I suggest decaf?

My husband doesn't understand why it takes me 1 1/2 hours to get ready and constantly nags at me about it. My response is "Do you like the way I look when I'm done?" .. "Well, yeah." .. "Then stop complaining."

He also doesn't understand why I have to have the house organized before I can leave it. He just throws things anywhere and calls it good. Drives me crazy.

Oh, and why I make him rinse out the bathroom sink after shaving and brushing his teeth. Will he be the one deep cleaning that bathroom and have to scrub all that crap off? Uh, I think not.

^^^This!!!!

Okay, how bout a LOL CAT to settle some nerves

I don't understand why my wife needs a minimum of one foot of blankets on while she sleeps and no less than 3 pillows. I thought I married a woman not a gerbil.

I don't understand why when you ask if there is anything wrong and they say "No" when there clearly is something wrong.

I don't uderstand why all that goes wrong in the house is the man's fault.

Or why we shouldn't act like there are "man" roles and "woman" roles but then when they want a tire changed or fix something they tell us "You're the man, it's your job". I say, "OK then, get in the kitchen and make me sammich."

Why is it that us guys are always the ones are wrong?

Why in a restaurant the need to go to the bathroom always occurs in pairs.

I don't like a chaperon when I pee.

Me neither. BUT when I do this, it's usually because I need to talk about something that just occured!

Gonna have to say that I HATE ALL THOSE PILLOWS!!!!!!!!!!! My Mom is a pillow-*kitten* and I can't STAND them! I always ask her WHY so many pillows. No valid reason. Just.. let it go.

And that's why you guys are so obvious of what you're up to. When you go on a double date and both of the ladies leave the table to go the bathroom you know they're going to be talking about the two guys.

Whitneylol

This makes me so glad I'm single!!

LOL same here! I'm struggling to think of something because no one is nagging me

It's typically his job to take the garbage down the 3 flights of stairs to the dumpster. Which is why I end up saying 'the hell with it' and doing it, because since it is, in fact-- THREE flights of stairs-- he will let it collect as long as possible and by then the stench is killing me.

Also, I change my own tires and oil, so I think in some couples the gender roles aren't as clearly defined.

Whitneylol

Why women don't think it's funny when somebody farts, burps, or trips and eats it. All these things are funny.

i think all those things are funny!

Me too! Stop grouping us all into a big whiny boring bubble

Tell him if he wants you to look just like him, you'll ditch the blow dryer attachments, chop off your hair and ditch one towel and everything else he finds sexy like nail polish, nice clothes, heels, etc.
