crazy_grl Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I was talking with some of my guys friends who said that girls like to call guys up to announce, "I'm late." In their opinions, girls like to do this to see how the guy will react. I talked to one of my girl friends about it and she said she'd call the guy up because she'd want someone there with her while she was doing all that worrying. She'd also want him to split the cost of the test. This is just bizarre to me. I've never called a guy up to tell him I'm late. I just go and get the pregnancy test. No sense worrying the guy over a false alarm, and the cost of the test is so low it's not a big deal. So girls, do you tell a guy when your late or wait til you have the pregnancy test results? Why? Guys, have you had girls tell you "I'm late". Why do you think she did it? Would you prefer that your girl tell you she's late or wait until she knows the test is positive? Edit: Of course, this doesn't really apply to people who are trying to get pregnant, because it would be a happy and hopeful time for both, not nervousness and worrying.
blind_otter Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 If I'm late enough to mention it, yeah I probably would. Because I blab about everything I feel in a sort of steam of consciousness way. I rarely put that much thought into emotional manipulation. I mean, who has that much free time? I guess some people do. But I tend to think that, women like to bitch about stuff, not because it is especially note-worthy, but because it's just another thing that pops into their heads. I try not to intimate too much premeditated maliciousness on the part of people I like to have intercourse with. But in retrospect, maybe I should!
Buttaflyy Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 In the past I'd just get a test and see myself. Tell him the results. Now, my SO is constantly asking ME! Are you late? Where is it?? But like your friends said, I know plenty of girls who do this. They would call the guy up to get a feeling of how he would feel if they were pregnant. I even know a couple who've lied!
MarnieGirl Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 split the cost of the test? i'd rather pay the whole whopping $13 myself and keep it quiet til i knew.
silentcharon Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Well, it is a question of be damned if i do, and be damned if I don't. I was late the month after we broke up, and the pregnancy test turned out positive. I opted to wait till after I found out the results, and told my ex, this was a month after the break up. He went absolutely ballistic- he even went as far to accuse me of trying to get him back by getting pregnant, even though he knew I didn't even want kids at that point. I ended up redoing the test and got a negative- much to my relief. I think it really depends on the situation itself, where you are in the relationship with the guy, how the guy feels about kids, etc, etc. I think he went ballistic on me because I have never done this in our seven year relationship, never, and to have it happen after the break up? I can see how it must have seemed questionable. Like I said, it depends, I think. BTW, I would foot the bill for the test, just like I'd foot the bill for my pills. I think your friend is a little whacked.
tanbark813 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Most of the girls I've been with have been on the pill. I've only had one girl tell me she was late but that was my first gf in high school and I doubt she was doing it as a test. She wasn't pregnant, but she ended up being like 10 days late or so. The thing that sucks is that stress can make a woman late so that just makes it worse. I did have an ex call me up about 3 months after we broke up to tell me she had an abortion sometime earlier and that it was mine. That was weird. But she was also a liar and a cheater so I have no idea how much of the story was true.
Author crazy_grl Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 I rarely put that much thought into emotional manipulation. I mean, who has that much free time? lol. No kidding. BTW, I would foot the bill for the test, just like I'd foot the bill for my pills. I think your friend is a little whacked. Well, I think it may have something to do with the fact that she's broke, so $10 is a big deal to her right now. I did have an ex call me up about 3 months after we broke up to tell me she had an abortion sometime earlier and that it was mine. That was weird. But she was also a liar and a cheater so I have no idea how much of the story was true. Why would someone call a guy just to tell him that? Does he really need to know after the fact. Chances are she was lyin, cause there's really no good reason to say that to someone. They would call the guy up to get a feeling of how he would feel if they were pregnant. I even know a couple who've lied! See I can't even begin to grasp why someone would do this... yet many men seem to be drawn to the nutters that do these kinds of things.
