    My man -

    He cannot come to terms with why I always need to use 2 towels when I shower. After my shower, I need one for my hair, and one to wrap around my body while I do my make up. Duh.

    He also cannot come to terms with the spaceship like attachment at the end of my blow drier.

    What else?

    I just use one. Dry off then wrap my hair and do my make-up naked, I think my hubby likes that better lol.

    My husband doesn't seem to understand the towels need to be folded a certain way or they just don't fit right in the linen closet!


    fold in half the long way, fold in half again, then tri-fold it?

    tri fold length wise, then in half twice widthwise... stack open edges to the back of the cabinet!

    There are so many..I hate when guys get jealous of every last thing you do..like if Im going to be in my best friends wedding and hes to jealous because I will be walking next to some other guy..and its "not right" to him..Im my friends maid of honor and he burnt those bridges so he wont be at the wedding..blahh well we arent together anymore so its okay but so many stories about ex's and their lack of understanding!!

    Jealously is one trait in a man I simply will not tolerate. If my husband had ever critised my friendship with other men, he wouldn't be my husband.

    Yeah it got old fast! Well maybe not fast enough, he also freaked out when my best friends fiance commented on my facebook status..theres been a few other guys too..and then a few more friends he has tryed to stop me from being friends with..and ahh I have a son with this guy but he drives me crazy! And the immaturity, and lack of motivation...3 years to get a job and then you get fired?! Ive worked three jobs in that time while taking care of two kids and going to school full time!!! Motivation gets me alot.

    My need to walk around with no clothes on in the house. Seriously, it's just a body. Why do the blinds need to be down? Maybe the neighbors will learn something if they see me! LOL, I get it though, he grew up in a strict Christian household and me I grew up with almost nudist parents. What can I say!

    umm crying, i cannot understand random emotional outbursts

    i cannot understand why women think if a man says he doesnt recognize a handsome man he's lying.... we just dont see that

    cannot understand the need to just hold the phone. say what you gotta say and get off the line

    Now, see, my man is the one who does this. He calls me for no particular reason, has nothing to talk about and gets angry if I try to get off the phone and gets angry if I don't talk, even though he called me.
    Are we married to the same man? That is my husband exactly.

    Why did God give women ownership of the vagina!

    I currently have one on lease. Apparently trying to own one leads to a rather large custodial sentence.

    LOL

    Really lol it wouldnt surprise me since he cheated when I was pregnant with our son..and cheated when my son was a newborn and thought he got another girl pregnant..and yeah I dont know I will get tons of threats on my phone and namecalling if I ever mentioned it.. messed up that he ever accused me of cheating when I never ever did in the 3 years of only being with him...but pretty sure I dont want to deal with that anymore.

    i have to agree with the guys here because some things i dont understand about women either --
    i dont wear make up, dont own a hair dryer, i dont have a bunch of pillows around the house, i own 1 pair of sneakers, 1 pair of boots, and 5 pairs of flip flops.
    and my husband learned long ago not to question or change things around the house...

    I dont always understand women either...and the emotions wow some of the people at my work just need to cool down..you dont need to use PMS or being pregnant as an excuse for acting a certain way ughh.

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

    because it's the perfect chance to talk about the guys we are with there :devil:

    Quit telling the men our secrets!!

    I've always thought these things are hilarious. DH gets SUPER upset with me when I do them, dunno why. Splain that one to me (I only do them at home)!

    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

    why doesnt my woman (wife) cook by smell? Her line of thinking is when I can smell the cookies, they are done. Yeah, but when you finally smell them downstairs, they've been done for 10 minutes...hence the charcol black bottoms on the cookies...

    An no, the smoke alarm is NOT a timer!!!!

    Why women keep eating junkfood, then make threads about how to stop eating junkfood.

    This is something that holds true for me, If I ask a man "where is the drill?" or socket wrench set or hammer or whatever tool that I need that you like to keep track of, it is because I don't know where it is and I need to fix something with that particular tool. I am not asking YOU to fix it... I want to fix it, and I want to do it my way and I want it done now, with the tool that I had originally intended to fix it with. I like fixing things and I am mechanically inclined and I take great pride in the fact that, yes, I might want to cut down that tree with a hand saw and not a chain saw, or I might want to change the oil in my own car or replace the spark plug in the mower. I really, really, really don't want you to do it, I just need to know where'd you put my tools!!!

    Why its great to be a man:

    1. Shoes never hurt our feet
    2. We can go to the bathroom alone
    3. We get to be President
    4. Nothing we wear makes us look fat
    5. 50 outfits, one pair of shoes
    6. The world is our urinal.

    Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. :laugh:

    Carry one.

    I like your humour.. keep it coming!

    My husband just can't wrap his mind around that sometimes when I say "no", I really do mean no and I'm not just trying to play some sexual torture mind game with him.

    When I ask him to do things for me, it is purely because I'm being lazy or I consider whatever "it" is to be a man's job. It's not because 'I can't do it' like he thinks.

    It's his job to go downstairs when I hear something fishy because on the off chance there is something or someone down there, he has a better chance of survival. lol

    That the world doesn't stop for us when we get sick.

    My boyfriend has had a minor cold all week and you would think that he just had surgery to have his spine and good sense removed.

    Yes. You have a sore throat and don't feel well.
    Yes. I will take care of you and feed you.

    No, I will not pick up the remote and change the channel for you every 30 seconds because its 'just too heavy'.

    yes. and yes. and also our need for a constant flow of compliments.
  • My husband does not understand why I felt the urge to buy a pink tool bag. Especially since I am not overly fond of pink. But, now when I need to know where tools are, I don't have to look. They are in my tool bag, which he wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. :laugh:

    He does not understand that I feel there is a right and wrong way to load the dishwasher, or why certain things have to be organized a very specific way- in fact, he thinks it's funny to move things and drive me nuts. :grumble: :bigsmile:

    He also can't seem to figure out why saying "good morning boobies" and groping me is NOT the same thing as saying "good morning" or "I love you" And I can't figure out how to explain that to him. I asked him how he would feel if I ignored him and just groped his crotch instead... he seemed to think it would be a good idea. :bigsmile:
