Are there any men out there that would like to list there pet peeves about the opposite sex?

I will start, this is in no particular order of importance

1. They constantly refer to books on how the male mind works when all they have to do is ask
2. They seek answers to questions that cant be explained fully to them or to their satisfaction
3. They spend absolute fortunes on makeup, anti ageing, anti wrinkle, anti baggie eye creams then use a alcohol cleanser to take it back off only to reapply more of the same gunk back on top.
4. We are always wrong and they are always right
5. They don’t know when to stop and leave you be

That will do for now, feel free to add to the list

Ooh, I know another one:
Men can get in fights with each other, knock down, drag out, knock-the-wind-out-of-you, bruised, cut, loosen a tooth fights, and be best friends again half an hour later. Women don't do that. We file away every little thing that pissed us off to use as ammunition later.

Boy, this isn't going to be a very thorough survey if there's only one man giving his opinions. pet peeves

Hmmm, on second thought, yes it will. You can say "It's a fact that 100% of the men surveyed agreed....." pet peeves

What about the women who don't even use this stuff? Personally I wouldn't know the first thing about using any of that junk. I figure soap is just as good as anything else.

And BTW, I do get the 3 Stooges!

(Does this mean I'm not a woman???? LOL)

ok , i am back, bring it on, but be forwarned not to attempt to feminise this thread, or attempt to turn it into a male bashing area, my intention is clear, you has females have certain problems with us men, and our so called lack of communication skills, the simple answer is, explain it in a a way we can understand

Just trying to reel this back in.... the original post was supposed to be for men who want to voice their pet peeves about women... not the other way around...

Ooo I am glad another woman "gets" the 3 stooges.... But then I watched that show as a kid and I thought it was funny.. but as an adult I am afraid I will turn the channel fast to a love movie or horror movie... lol

even tho this is supost to be pet peeves for men about women. .. So I thought I would ask a question for the men....
Why do men hate asking for directions?????

Why would I use something on my face or the rest of me that costs more than $3 when I can get double of something that cleans me just as well for $1 something and I get more of it?

Oh, I just don't understand why women use all that stuff they put on their face like...ya know what I don't even know what they're called!!!! I guess that stuff that's supposed to clean your face and it's on a little round pad??? (Not those things for acne) I guess I'll have to ask my little sis about all these things...she's the city girl, definitely not me!

I think the only fem thing I use is perfume, deodorant, and on a rare occasion a little make up. Beyond that I don't use anything!

Seeing as though I do know when to stop, I am not even going to bother going further with the first comment.

Did I say I used wipes? I'm still happy. Thanks.

Interesting how, when women are bashing and stereotyping men, it's okay, but when a man asks for men's peeves about women, the women who reply make it a joke, ask about more male stereotypes, and even seem to get a bit ticked about some of the comments made against them.

Mellors knows not all women fit the stereotypes. He's making a point. And doing it very well, I think.

I was accused of hijacking a thread. Isn't that what's going on here, then?

Sorry, Mellors, I'm another woman responding. I'm enjoying the thread, though.

I commented on one of the points Mellors made. That is not hijacking.

"but when a man asks for men's peeves about women" If only men were meant to respond, it should have been requested as such.

I have better things to do now.

Ok. I will be more careful to note things like that in the future. I will no longer participate on this thread.

Good luck!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
