    I play games but can stop when I'm tired and go to bed.
    If you're ranting or gossiping about celebrities / people I have never met, I will zone out. Otherwise, I'm listening; with the exception that I tend to miss what you're saying if I'm reading something.
    If you want us to understand you, say what you mean and stop using secret-women-code.
    Most women seem clueless to me.
    I don't stop for directions because I can use a map and road signs.
    If something is new to me, I read the manual. If it's ANOTHER TV or ANOTHER toilet, I don't need to.
    I have no marks against my driver's license at all.
    Football, sex and food are more interesting than shoes, your friend's friends' BFF's new baby, celebrities, etc.
    We think about sex that often because it's a damn site more enjoyable than thinking about bills, work etc.
    Men say the dumbest things? Hmm.
    You really question whether men are from Mars? Please see above.

    Well my husband works for a company who makes all those dreaded video games so I would like to personally thank all those gamers out there for putting my son through college.

    To the OP; I know this was supposed to be a "fun" lighthearted thread, but as women we too often ask questions we already know the answer to....men do these things because they can and we still love them.

    Kelly

    Lol..its still funny. You just made it funnier. Glad to have helped put your son through college. And you're right..they can, will and we still love them.

    Men hate to hear the words "we need to talk." Because there is no "we" in "we need to talk."

    When a girlfriend or wife says "we need to talk," what she's really saying is "You need to listen, and what I'm going to tell you is not going to make you happy." "Need to talk" can also just mean, simply, "Shut up, here's how you screwed up."

    Maybe you just didn't get lucky?
    My boyfriend does not play video games. We have similar interests and different interests. We get along. He doesn't do 99% of the things in your post.

    My wife cured me of that years ago. I came home from work one day and the computer was gone. She put it at the bottom of the stairs in the basement with a note on it that said..."if you bring this back up stairs we're getting a divorce. We are still married...Happily I'll add, and I now balance my time better.

    Aww..how sweet..today is gonna be a pretty laid back day. No work, hair cuts for him and the boys. Its raining here so no yardwork today. Him and the boys will play their game I will cook and its probably going to be a redbox later and FOOTBALL TOMORROW! Lets go Texans..or should I say Lets go Patriots! Point of my babbling is to say we are happy and balanced!

    >>FOOTBALL, SEX, FOOD the 3 things that get your mans FULL ATTENTION??

    Because men are very simple creatures. We are competitive (sports/games) and like to win. The highest expression of love and respect for a man is when his woman sexes him up. Your words don't mean anything if your actions deny that which he identifies as the paramount expression of your love and devotion. Low blood sugar means a cranky person. A full stomach spikes the blood sugar and insulin response, leaving a person in a slightly euphoric state. It comes down the simplicity of men. If we feel like MEN, and shown that our woman respects us as a MAN, and we have a full stomach, we are content. Why reject such a simple playbook for ensuring contentedness in the home? If you value the things he does, and consistently show him that, he may surprise you by reciprocating with things that you value (assuming he's not a completely useless man-child).

    I call bulls**t on this explanation. Men are simple creatures? Really, it's just a euphemism used to perpetuate generalizations of men and women.

    Why do women complain so much? Who knows just built into our sex.

    Video games are just as ingrained into men as nagging is.

    Nagging is ingrained into men? Wow that's news to me!!! :laugh:

    Whenever my husband start approaching the threshold of something that will make me start nagging I look at him and say "Please do __________ because I really don't want to be a nag." Sometimes I will say it as "Please don't make turn into My aunt (who is the biggest nag in the world)"

    Which is honestly true. I hate nagging is feel so.... wrong..... and he usually does what I ask and he appreciated that I don't nag or b**** at him.

    Since I am a man, I can, at the very least, speak for myself. Does my description generalize somewhat? Sure. For myself, I don't care one way or another about football, or any other sport. Is my generalization largely true? I believe so, and I believe most men would agree with me. However, I am willing to entertain the possibility that I am wrong, if you care elaborate beyond simple expletives so that we can have an honest discussion of the merits of the argument and not a back-and-forth match of negative emotional responses.

    It's a phrase...meant not to elicit a match of "negative emotional responses," but rather, to merely illustrate my level of disagreement. Apologies for offending your delicate sensibilities.

    This whole "let him" thing is bloody annoying. Can you imagine the outcry on here if a guy posted something where he said that he "let" his spouse do something...

    I agree that there are limits to what is acceptable but it is down to you as a couple to discuss those issues. Also, if a guy is like that when you met him, chances are he's going to stay the same. You probably won't change him, and when it comes to it, why should it be up to us to change our partner? As I say, there needs to be agreed limits...
