When a guy says "I'll be home around 4", you might see it as a binding promise, but he just sees it as a guideline.
If you are making dinner or if you have made plans together, then that is quite different. But if he is just letting you know when he will be home, then you have to take it with a grain of salt.
If he is going to be a lot later (say more than half an hour) then he may call, but it's better if you don't make a big deal of this. He won't like to feel that they he has to report in for every little thing.
Are you sure he is really an hour late? A lot of women that I have come across seem to have a problem in reporting times accurately. They will say it was an hour, but when you actually check the times, it was only 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure that they can't help themselves; it's a way of trying to keep the moral upper hand.
To summarize, if you have definite plans or are making dinner, then he should be on time (or close to it), or he should call you early enough that you can adjust your own plans. Otherwise, don't expect too much!

Guys are very flexible about time. We don't see it as a respect issue the same way women do. it's just basically guys projecting our thinking/feeling patterns onto beings that are not like us.
We treat our arrival times the same way we'd treat those of a guy friend - "Jack, see ya in an hour." If the guy doesn't show up for two hours - his loss. We've been keeping busy. When he shows up - "Hey, jack, good to see ya!" No sweat.
Strict punctuality is for our 'serious' (no fun) relationships. Love is supposed to be easygoing, so that's how we treat time.
Nonsensical, but there you go...

Oh i see.... this is the type of question the girls answer and just agree with you and get the rubbish ten points lol
When us guys go out its not always down as a point by point itinerary so if your having a laugh with your mates you've known for 20 years you don't get out the alarm clock that you put in his pocket to come home just because YOU put a time on it.... Grow up i say, life if for living not moaning

Maybe those guys expect you not to be ready yet, since that's the sort of thing which tends to happen with girls. The guy gets to her place and she keeps him waiting while she gets ready, telling him she'll just be a minute. Meanwhile, five, ten, twenty minutes pass until it's been an hour and you're still there. Talk about a lack of respect.

i might want to unload him asap. If he likes yet another lady and she or he him, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? authentic love doesn't play video games or have wandering eyes, this is dedicated and exertions. you may want to work out this as a pink flag, a deal breaker, strike 3. Your youthful, i'm guessing, you may want to not also be thinking a serious relationship that is going to reason you lack of self assurance. have relaxing, do not change into overly invested in this, WHAT? you are able to't flirt? flow on, the writing is on the wall and it spells hassle. Do your self a choose and decrease the guy free, no matter if it really is destined to be, it is going to run this is direction and he will be again. yet why you may want to take him again in uncomplicated words you are able to answer.

man time is what it boils down to.
if a guys says he will be in at 5pm realworld time says he will be back up to two or three hours later.
this s generally becuse 1 minute man time = 10 minutes real world time.
speaking here as a 33yr old male.
it is not a lack of respect, it is simply just a guy thing. unless we have and use alarm clocks and set them properly you will find most guys although they often don't realize it they are on man time in the real world.
girls ladies women when will you learn. time means nothing to the average guy. unless a favourite TV show or sporting event or happy hour at the pub for example then most guys can tell time or make more not of the time.
so forgive the guy inquestion it is not his fault, it is a natural disability to be on time for anything.
sorry to disapoint you.
there are the rare guys who pretend to tell time, when in fact they set there clocks and watches a couple of hours ahead to be ontime for work etc.
as i think i said i'm speaking here as myself and most ofg the guys i've known in my life

No, that's just rude. With the advent of computers, cell phones and pagers, there is virtually NO reason why you can't make a phone call, send an email or otherwise get a message to a person to let them know you're going to be more than a few minutes late. Period!

Yes, it's to let you know that though you girls are important to us; you are not the only thing in our lives that is important. Women can be quite demanding of a chaps time. So, I think it is.
