Women does your Husbands /Spouse /Boyfriend???

My husband hates computers/video games- he's rather be outside or in the garage! But I guess everyone has their "thing!"

After reading this I have decided I must be male because I exhibit so many of the little 'male attributes' you've just listed.

Damn.

I know. Me, too. I wish I HAD a man to complain about.

Why are our men so addicted to video games?? Ugh my husband will stay up all night watching online movies and playing video games. He will fall asleep on the sofa with the game controller in his hand and wake up EARLY IN THE DARN morning PLAYING AGAIN. What the heck!!! Why?? Why?? Why??...and Omg if I ask something I'm totally ignored unless its "Honey are you hungry"

Why what I say to him alway differs from what he hears??
Why do men always seem CLUELESS?
Why when we are lost (say for instance traveling) Men never want to stop for directions?? We ride around for hours LOST!!
Is it just my man or ALL MEN feel like they can fix anything without reading a manual /blueprint/directions??
Why do men think they DRIVE better than WOMEN?? I drive just fine 1 ticket no seatbelt. Now my hubby LOL..let's just say his license has lots of points..lol

Have you ever said "honey we need to talk" and your man looks like he is terrified. Lol Why?? Lol
Do you talk and your man just stares with a dumb look on his face??? Clueless ..Omg Why??
FOOTBALL, SEX, FOOD the 3 things that get your mans FULL ATTENTION??
My pastor said statistics say Men think about SEX every 14sec...Omg Why??
Kids say the darnest things..Why do men sometimes say the Dumbest things?
Are Men really from Mars??
I could go on and on with the why?why?why?
Even with all the Whys? My man is still handsome, loving, caring, funny, sensitive, understanding, hardworking provider, protector, dad..that LOVES HIS FAMILY UNCONDITIONALLY.
Feel free to ask your WHYs or Answer some..and feel free to add me Good Day

I'd have to say my man is the complete opposite. I WISH he thought about sex half as much as me.

Try the Lady Gaga... Make a meat dress and then try and talk to him.

I think you should try and word "we need to talk" a little differently... If he said that to me, I'd think OMG what now!?!?

my husband plays video games on the computer but id RATHER he play them on the TV. (He says they are boring though). I feel like on the Computer he can zone everyone and everything out but on the TV, i just have to walk in front of him and say something.

Its never going to happen though. Heaven forbid something happen to his computer- hed die! (im not joking)

Instead of pouting about it, tell him how you really feel. Men aren't capable of reading a woman's mind anyhow., we're just too damn complex. Subtle hints are just that and men won't pick up on your sugar coated cues. If you want something done, tell them you want something done.

Oh boy, watch out! You're getting an answer from a feminist.

Why are our men so addicted to video games?? --- I'm waaaay more into video games than my husband is. I seriously wipe the floor with him. So, no issue here.

Why what I say to him alway differs from what he hears?? --- Not sure. You may want to ask him why he isn't paying attention. This isn't a trait that is gender-specific, either. My mother has the same issue!! LOL

Why do men always seem CLUELESS? --- This is also not gender-specific. PEOPLE in general are pretty clueless. I find this whole Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus idea outdated, particularly because studies show that there actually tend to be just as many in-group differences than out-group differences. For instance, I may have less in common with another female than I do with another male, the takeaway message being that again, people in general are different, versus men v. women.

Why when we are lost (say for instance traveling) Men never want to stop for directions?? We ride around for hours LOST!! --- Because males are socialized to want to be in charge of any situation revolving around cars, including asking for directions. In the context of my relationship, it's about 50:50. I'll more than gladly ask for directions, but my husband isn't keen on driving so I do most of it.

Is it just my man or ALL MEN feel like they can fix anything without reading a manual /blueprint/directions?? --- Not mine. Actually, I tend to do this...hehehe...oops!

Why do men think they DRIVE better than WOMEN?? Again, because they're socialized to believe that they rule the road/all things auto. Interestingly enough, women are "better" drivers (we're more defensive, we generally speed less, less risky driving behavior). But again, women aren't necessarily "better" drivers based on biology, we're just taught early on to be more careful and more agreeable (females will more likely let someone through versus males). As for my own relationship, this is also something that I tend to play into, admittedly, although I think that's my crazy latina driving versus driving like a "man".

Have you ever said "honey we need to talk" and your man looks like he is terrified. Lol Why?? Lol --- Because no one ever likes hearing those words--men or women lol. I don't like hearing those words at aaaaaall! I can offer some advice though! Next time, instead of saying "we need to talk", just launch into the explanation. I don't say "honey we need to talk"--I'll instead just say "Hey, baby can you not leave your socks on the floor when I've just finished doing laundry? It's frustrating for me. Thanks!"

Do you talk and your man just stares with a dumb look on his face??? Clueless ..Omg Why?? --- Only if I'm being unclear.

FOOTBALL, SEX, FOOD the 3 things that get your mans FULL ATTENTION?? --- Husband hates football. So do I. Sex? I definitely want it more than he does, LOL! He would actually rather finish up a good chapter in a book before getting it on than to throw away the book with all abandon and having sex right there. Then again, he's a scholar. As far as food? Well, HELLO. It's food!!! Who doesn't like food! Omg, I'm hungry RIGHT NOW LOL.

My pastor said statistics say Men think about SEX every 14sec...Omg Why?? --- Your pastor is mistaken, although many people believe this, so I wouldn't be too harsh. I believe it was a human sexuality study that found that males think about sex anywhere from 1 to around 350 times a day depending on the individual. Again, person-centered results versus gender-centric. (FUN FACTish: I believe women thought about sex anywhere from 1-200 times a day).

Kids say the darnest things..Why do men sometimes say the Dumbest things? --- Again. PEOPLE say the dumbest things.

Are Men really from Mars?? --- No. There is no oxygen in space. Their metabolic processes would cease.

I could go on and on with the why?why?why? --- Why?

Even with all the Whys? My man is still handsome, loving, caring, funny, sensitive, understanding, hardworking provider, protector, dad..that LOVES HIS FAMILY UNCONDITIONALLY. --- AWESOME!

Feel free to ask your WHYs or Answer some..and feel free to add me Good Day --- Have a great day

I got lucky! My husband doesn't play but maybe that is because he is over 40. U just go to the gym and he can have his games.... sounds like a deal to me!

Oh look..another generalizing post! -.-

Men are NOT the only ones that do this.

And by the way - Gamer here and I'm a chick and I've gotten wrapped up in a game and yes, I'd say I am a bit of a game addict. I'd also get pissed if someone kept trying to ask me questions and stuff during a game too (video or sports).

How about maybe respecting each other's space and hobbies, likes, interests, etc. How about maybe talking to your SO and come to an agreement of sorts?

Ugh...I'm sorry..I'm trying to be civil - but these Men do this, Women do that posts are just ridiculous.

And the OP may not have meant to sound like she's bashing men - but, well..she SOUNDS like she's bashing men. Her whole "tone" to the post is about why do men do this.

Also - the whole - why do men hear something different from what women say - again..this is not a gender thing. People in general have different ways that they perceive verbal communication. It's called working in a relationship to learn how to communicate with each other. Same sex relationships also have this problem so it is most certainly not a man vs woman thing -.-

Also - your pastor isn't a scientist. I doubt a guy thinks about sex every 14sec..if he did..how the hell do you expect them to concentrate on a game? Hmmmm? Yeah.

And for any person that thinks it is a good idea to post a rant about their SO - it isn't. I hope that your boyfriend/husband whatever doesn't ever come across this. Most people tend to get a bit pissy at the thought of their personal issues getting broadcasted to a bunch of strangers...especially when we all now know what he looks like. Just saying.

Man i must be stupid because in my country we use instead of op, ts. What does op mean? Original poster??

haha ironic that you answer my question but thank you.

OP your post just killed thousands of brain cells.

Meh. In the time it took my husband to eat his lunch and to play around on MFP (hi honey), I cooked lunch, cleaned the kitchen, swept the kitchen, dining, and living room, did a load of laundry, washed a load of dishes, cleaned all the toys out of the yard (which took over 30 minutes by itself), helped two kids get bathed and find something to wear, cleaned the kids' bathroom, made coffee, and balanced his macros.


I rock.

I wish my husband was addicted to video games. Instead he's addicted to motorcycles and while thats not glued to a screen...its all he thinks about, talks about, and looks at on the computer...gets annoying too. Grass isnt always greener.

OP, that is really tragic, because not only he is missing out on family but family is missing out on him - kids does not have dad, nor wife has a husband. He is just not there, though his body is. Any addiction is an awful disease to our life, it takes away ability to live the life in fullest. I pray that his mind and spirit wakes up from this addition and re realizes what he is doing.

Can you have a honest conversation with him, ask him to limit time he spends on games? If he spends 10 hours per day on games and 0 hours on wife and kids there is a serious problem. Ask him to go to counseling. Maybe set a month of fasting all media for the whole family, and just spend time together with each other. That works miracles.

He provides for family, yes. But that is our obligation as adults. Why does it has become like an extraordinary thing nowadays. God first, spouse after that and kids, then the rest. If he provides food but does not give his time to you, he is just barely making the minimum he can. he needs to be the man God created to be and step up, kick out to what is robbing his family of God's full blessings.

My heart goes out to you and kids, because obviously he does not realize that he is destroying family with his addiction.

Seriously?

Im not married or dating, so I can;t say yes. BUT I have brothers and a dad and they are very very organized with playing games!
