Men, I love you, but WHY do you do these things?

Question

1)You never want to talk until we get into the shower or tub
2) You never cut your toenails until they are lethal weapons.
3) You always say,"I was listening honey." BUT never can repeat what we said.
4) Always want to kiss and snuggle AFTER we have showered, put on our makeup and done our hair, only to ruin what we have worked on for the last hour.

Just wondering. Really would like to hear a married man's view on this too.

LoL at Faith Believer

Answer 1

I'm sorry, what did you say?

Before we go on, can you get me a beer?

Answer 2

1) If you didn't want to talk, why did you get into the shower?
2) So long as the shoe fits, why bother with cutting your toenails?
3) Men listen in a different way. We don't have to hear what is being said because once we listen in the first place, we just naturally know what's going to be said later - even years later. It's always the same.
4) Any man can tell you that a freshly cleaned car runs better.

Answer 3

The bathroom is where great minds of men work best, sorry but thats just how it is. I think the constitution (or at least the preamble) was written in the bathroom..hahaha

2) we need those claws incase of an emergency. The next time a rabid bluejay flies in the house and he is snared by the foot claw of your man, you'll be thankful. (I dont understand that one either though, thats a grooming issue, take care of it).

3) Half of what you say is "venting" and the other half we try to fix and get in trouble for "fixing everything" so we dont know what to do but tune it out. We can help ourselves.

4) You smell nice, look freshly made up and its after a long night of sleep. Plus, if he wakes up slightly before you he sees your smiling, dreaming face asleep and cant stand to wake you. So we wait until you are ready to leave. Sorry.

Answer 4

1)You never want to talk until we get into the shower or tub
because then and only then we can get a word in edgeways cos you have to keep your face still cos of your mudd mask
2) You never cut your toenails until they are lethal weapons.
you must pick really scabby men!
3) You always say,"I was listening honey." BUT never can repeat what we said.
Thats because we refuse to be grilled on our listening skills by a nagging woman
4) Always want to kiss and snuggle AFTER we have showered, put on our makeup and done our hair, only to ruin what we have worked on for the last hour.
Because before you made yourself up you were ugly. Now you have done yourself up you look fit so we fancy a bit!!

Answer 5

1) Well when you are naked is when you have our attention the most. Therefore we think of things to talk about (not actively trying to) probably just to stay close and watch you and your nubile form.
2) I cut my toenails yesterday, thank you. Only after I cut my wife in bed. Just joking. They were kinda long though.
3) We do hear you and for the most part we do listen. Unfortunately you ladies will go on and on about something that we don't truly care about and we gradually lose interest. It is our fault I know, but you have to keep it short and simple to maintain our focus.
4) Because we have just talked to you naked in the shower, and watch you "beautify" yourself, and finally we get all worked up and want some affection.

It is all simple really, in that we are visual creatures and the more we see you naked the more worked up we get.

Answer 6

1) You sound sweet in the running water.
2) My toenails are not lethal unless provoked.
3) I was listening, just not to you, at that moment.
4) When you have showered and put on makeup and your hair is pretty, we aren't as scared of you. So we show our appreciation by kissing you.

Answer 7

I've been married twice. 18 years, and 15+ so far on my second. I'll take a shot. 1. You are naked in tub or shower. We like seeing you naked. 2. We are sometimes stupid about things like toenails. And for us old farts, it's tough to bend that far. 3. No excuse. We daydream, and don't listen well. BUT, you do the same when we talk about things you have zero interest in. 4. You ALWAYS look good, but when you deliberately work to look your best- you look your best, and we like you. Especially when you look your best. When I no longer notice and behave this way, it'll be time to bury me. LOL

Answer 8

Oh my God, have you ever hit it dead on! My boyfriend as soon as 2 weeks into our dating would walk right into my bedroom and strike up a conversation. I mean, while I was naked and lotioning up after the shower. Then he will open the bathroom door while I'm changing feminine products, if you know what I mean...to chat... He will even stand there and try to chat while I'm tweezing. It's embarrassing to say the least! My ex husband used to come at me from behind when I was standing at the bathroom sink with hair dye in and a timer on the counter. What did I do? Recently I opened the bathroom door while my boyfriend was "going." But sadly, it doesn't phase him unless it's a stinky one... He just sits there, magazine in hand...holding up his end of the conversation...

Answer 9

1) Because you are more interesting when you are naked.
2) Because we're lazy, and it doesn't cross our minds that we are slicing you up while sleeping in bed.
3) Because we don't care what you are talking about and are saying whatever it takes to shut you up.
4) Because showering, make-up, and hair all does what? It makes you appear more attractive. Haven't you heard of the phrase getting "dolled up"? You're making yourself more pretty. Why would you make yourself more attractive and expect anything other and a reaction of increased attraction?

These were very easy to answer. Men are simple if you really want to break it down. What do we want from you? Three things: sex, food, and quiet. So make him a sandwich, give him a bj, and then STFU. He will love you for it and never leave you if you follow these few simple steps.

Answer 10

Hahaha, the damn toenail thing drives me CRAZY! And as far as #4 goes, I keep my lipstick in mnmy purse and don't apply it until I'm out the door, so it doesn't get smeared all over my face first thing in the morning :) And if I'm telling him something he really needs to listen to, I make sure it's a time when he's not distracted and tell him there will be a short quiz afterwards!

Answer 11

First thing to remember, Not all men are the same.
1) Men feel that the bath is a romantic place and tend to open up more in the situation. It's also often where we see women naked, which is the first place we want to be. I've learned that on the other hand, women are all about business when they are taking a shower, and don't want to be bothered when they are relaxing in the bath position. Yes, its a conflict of interest.

2) Most men are lazy and find better things to do with their time. Like talk to you in the shower. Other men have a huge problem with long finger nails and regularly clip them. Such as myself, I know down to the day how long it takes to grow finger nails to an uncomfortable length and the clipper becomes my best friend the day before.

3) You see the thing about men is we only listen to the important things we here and filter out the mundane and repetitive things. I recommend talking about your day in the regular manner, and then add something completely off the wall to get his attention. Or if worse comes to worse, make him dig it out of you. Say, "i've got something you really wanna know, you should be interested." I know I'd try the best known technique to get it out of my girl. In her case it's talking about kittens or puppies, im sure he has something that makes you smirk as well.

4) We don't think about those things. Whats for certain is our routine of getting ready takes less than 10 minutes depending on what were going to be doing. We know you look adorable after you spend hours working, so adorable we can't keep our hands lips or eyes off of you. We don't mean to mess your work up, because we aren't always sure what damages what...

On a final note, love us for who we are, not who you want us to be and I think you'll understand us better.
