A guy I've known over a decade, worked with in the geek industry, and have been sleeping with for the past year is "shocked that I like Superhero movies."

It's like he doesn't know me at all! *sobbing in my cheerios*

    He's a man! He is not paying attention to the details.

    (Don't flame me guys, you know it's true!)

    Men do not listen. To anything. Unless you somehow manage to throw the words "boobs" or "sex" into the conversation, and then you'll get a few seconds of their attention.

    Incorrect. I listen. I listen very well. But I do sometimes miss signals or topics other than general conversation.

    Aw..my boy listens to everything...he remembers the littlest things.

    Ex-husband .. not so much. Case in point .. When is your birthday ? Uh .. yeh .. we were married for like 15 years.

    My boyfriend of 6 years never remembered my birthday, and it was only three weeks after his. I would never remind him, though. He always felt much worse when he completely missed it and remembered a couple of days after the fact.

    Honestly, I was never the "It's my birthday, and you must do something special for me" type, but it would've been nice for him to at least say "Happy birthday."

    I've been pretty lucky. Most of the men I've dated seriously in the past couple of years were good listeners and good rememberers. My ex husband was really good at remembering little stuff, too.. like remembering that I wanted to try something new, then a few weeks or months later he'd surprise me with something.

    But yes, boobs.. and *kitten*.

    Mack... You've grown to appreciate my jubblies, and thusly I've grown to appreciate you.

    My manfriend remembers nearly everything... but apparently just doesn't grasp that I actually like superhero crap and it has nothing to do with him. He's catching on. It doesn't really matter anyhow, b/c we're not officially dating ;) It's fun acting like we're 12. :yawn:

    Alas, someone come buy me a beer.

    I need a beer.

    Perhaps if you had commented that you really liked Wonder Woman's boobs and Storm's *kitten*, he'd have gotten that you pay as much attention to superheros as he does?

    I'd rather buy you a margarita. Those are more fun.

    Plus, you have nice boobs. That's why the inner 12 year old in your friend keeps forgetting about the superhero stuff. He gets distracted.

    A guy I've known over a decade, worked with in the geek industry, and have been sleeping with for the past year is "shocked that I like Superhero movies."

    It's like he doesn't know me at all! *sobbing in my cheerios*

    Because you've been sleeping with him for a year, not dating him. He doesn't have to pay attention in order to get some.

    Actually, this might be the most logical response yet.

    You know, my ex reproached me to forget her birthday until one year I forgot my own birthday (only when she said happy birthday did I realise my own birthday was on that day).
    Then she just accepted that I can't remember a birthday and I really don't give a monkey about celebrating the process of ageing.

    So now my rule is: I have one year to wish the person happy birthday (until they get to the next level).
