Nagging means saying something over and over. I have found, in the course of my 21-year marriage, that there is a surefire way to prevent nagging: do what she wants me to do the first time she asks. Try it, it really works!

A lot of women tend to over think the little things in life. They tend to be more emotional in their thinking. Men on the other hand tend to be more logical and to an extent practical in their thinking. To men, saying I love once a week makes sense and is logical, I say I love you so therefore I do, why must I repeat it? To a woman, once a week is no where near enough, their emotional based thinking requires that they be constantly reinforced. If they do not hear it they begin to wonder what is wrong. It is an emotional response, men do not understand the subtle hints and over time the woman feels the need to get louder so that you can hear them. What they fail to realize is that we do hear them we just don't understand their needs, it is not logical. So the louder they get the more we recoil. Thus nagging is born.
It is an art form really to be able to communicate when you have logic vs emotions and unless a man is in touch with his emotional side or a woman in touch with her logical side you have an information block. Nagging and argueing are the results.

When you hear something more than twice it can become nagging- why not get things done after the 1st or 2nd request? You wont hear nagging at all if you just get things done.
Unless you are me, I NEVER nag, as I will only ask once and if it doesn't get done, either I do it myself or I have a friend/relative help me. I personally hate being nagged at myself- so I get stuff done the 1st time I'm asked. That's just the person I am though.

I tell my man what I want done. Most of the time he does it. Sometimes he doesn't, and if I have to keep asking I get angry. You don't want me angry. When I'm not happy, no one is happy. That's my philosophy. So don't bother to ask why women nag, just do it and shut up, or face the consequences.

I don't know. My husband said that one of the reasons he married me was because I didn't nag. I guess I just think it doesn't do any good really. Besides I wouldn't like to be nagged so why do it to some one else!

Mark... my boyfriend says I'm feisty!!
There are many different ways of approaching us hormonal excessive women. Just as you (guys) have testosterone excess comparing to us and we don't understand completely that part of your behavior (in a good way).
We are different, we talk more, we need more. Men we're "created" to be the protectors and women procriators. In our primitive state of course and a long time ago... but it still exists in our DNA... its biological, has no rational explanation!!

Because men tend to NOT do what is asked or said the first time. Therefore, the next course of action is called NAG HIM TILL HE DOES....

well if you men listened to us and did what we asked straight away we would not have to keep reminding you to get off you ar**e and help, if you live in a house it is not the job of a woman to run around after the man we live with if you want a maid don't get married hire one or stay living with your mum. rant over with hope you have a good day.
