Question for MEN ONLY PLEASE!?

Question

OK, so we all know women's issues with men (not helping around the house, video gaming, etc), because women are more vocal whereas men tend to internalize.

So MEN- what are your gripes about the women in your lives? Anything from small annoyances to major issues. Please be honest, and please list your age and years in your relationship.

Answer 1

I really dont have any gripes w/ my wife who I love VERY much.(at least none come to mind)
we both work out and disscuss our problems and I know right now all you other guys out there are who are reading this are sayimg "yeah right,..p***y whiped !!" but thats not the case!! my wife is my friend, lover &partner the prob w/ most relationships are that the gripes arent discussed w/ your parntner and there's more of a "them and us" attitude there has to be a little give & take there is also a difference between disscussing and just bitching. Yeah guys do it to.

Answer 2

I am 38 years old, and been married 15 glorious years. My beef with woman is that they seem to be too critical of us guys. We get grumbled at for doing things because its not just perfect, and we get griped at for things we don't do. So it is easier to get griped at for playing video games and watching tv.
Most of the time we really do care and don't mind doing our share, we just don't like the nagging, and lists are a real turn off. I think it is true with everyone, we could all share more positive reinforcement and feed back instead of criticism all the time. A good job or well done, or hey that is great goes a long way with everyone male or female.
The other thing is the way that a lot of woman are very undeided about things and don't really tell us what they want. Sometimes it is nice to have things spelled out so we can meet the expectations.

Answer 3

They won't leave you alone, in peace for a moment. Women seem to have a problem with a man just sitting there quietly. Every woman I've dated has to take that opportunity to ask "what are you thinking?" Which is rude! Let me have my own private thoughts! And to be honest, most of the time we're not thinking of anything. Seriously. When men watch TV, guess what ladies... WE'RE THINKING ABOUT TV! We're thinking about the very show we're watching. So don't slide up to us on the couch and ask us what we're thinking. We're not thinking about anything.

and ladies, don't ask us what we think of your clothes, your hair, etc. Because we are going to LIE. Nine times out of ten we don't f*cking care! But you keep asking us and then say, "now be honest." Trust me, you don't want us to be honest. And when we ARE honest, you get mad. if you don't want honesty, then don't f*cking ask us!!!

And please, at least once a month, let a man have an entire weekend where he has to do NOTHING. Just because a man has free time and you have free time, doesn't mean you both have to go out to do SOMETHING. We hate shopping for flowers for the flowerbox or sheets and pillowcases or crap like that. We don't want to walk in the park and look at nothing. The botanical gardern SUCKS. Just give men at least one weekend a month to do nothing. Don't use his free time as an excuse to bond. If he didn't want to be with you, he would have moved out or broke it off along time ago...

I think I'm done...

Answer 4

Here's a few things about most women in general...

1) Give your man more/better/varied sex
2) Stop expecting men to read your rmind
3) Stop asking an opinion about something and then want to argue about it
4) Stop asking if certain clothing makes you look fat
5) Stop nagging
6) Stop spending so much money on clothes (and shoes) that you will wear one time
7) If you're tired all the time; get more sleep.
8) Stop turning the thermostat up to 80 degrees; if you're cold; wear a sweater (even if it's July)
9) Stop complaining about being constipated.
10) You can ASK me to do anything, You can TELL me to do nothing
11) Get off our backs about looking at web porn occasionally
12) You're the ones who get pregnant - you handle the birth control (men HATE condoms). (BTW if you are done having kids I think the man should get a vasectomy)

Lots More....but I would flamed for most of it...

I'm middle aged married (2nd time) over 20 years

Answer 5

I am 35 and was with my wife for 9 years (currently divorced)

My biggest gripe with my ex is that she never wanted to go out when I asked her and she never wanted to try anything new or learn more about me. Once she met her new fiancee we had more in common than ever before: she goes out all the time, likes all the same things that I do, and is once again the same person that she was when I met her.

I will never understand why she had to meet somebody else in order to become the person that I was trying to help her become.

Answer 6

I can't stand the way my girlfriend deals with money and finances. She has zero concept of saving and budgeting, and is partial to instant gratification instead of creating a plan. Which is great in the bedroom, but not so great with the credit card debt she has. I end up paying most of the household bills, partly because I earn about twice as much as she does and partly because she spends hers on clothes to add to the closets-full she already owns. Occasionally, she's given me her credit card because she can't control her spending, but then she'll demand it back in a week.

That, and when she asks me to do something and then complains about how I do it. So one time I did the laundry so poorly (intentionally, but I didn't ruin anything, it just wasn't clean or dry), and now I never get asked to do it again. The clothes are washed to her standards, and I have one less chore to worry about; everybody wins.

Answer 7

I am 31 and have been in my current relationship for three years. The one thing that irritates me is when my girlfriend can't make a decision. When she cannot be concise in her actions or decisions it irritates the crap out of me. I guess it is just the way men a women differ. I see a task and attack it head on get it done and move on.

Answer 8

I think women tend to complain a lot about trivial things, "You need to organize your room, your study, your time, etc..." and make a big fuss when you don't do it, or even if you do it partially. I don't know why they're obsessed with keeping things in perfect order, or trying to repeat the same things many times, as if once wasn't enough.

Don't get me wrong. I love, respect and admire many women, but please, ladies, don't get aggravated when men don't agree to do what you tell them to, especially if they're comfortable with the current way things are. We stay out of your private life, and we expect you to give us some room to breathe.

Answer 9

I have more than a few gripes, but, I will only give you the one that really burns my butt.
The lack of sex. Everytime I want it she doesn't, and everytime she wants it-it has to be on her terms.
I have been married 12 years, and I am 37 years old.

Answer 10

i'm 27 living with a girlfriend... there's no reason for a man not to help around the house... about vocal... men dont really need to hear everything about little things... we know what we are doing most the time and the most annoying thing that i can think of is nagging... ( we got it from our parents and we don't ever want it to hear from our mate ) i don't clean all the time but i am the best chef... LoL... if you think about it.... we all can do a lot of things in an hour... i always see it like that... so cleaning and everything is no biggie... (plus i like everything neat and clean... i get mad if my stuff is misplaced)
