typical Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Then she falls in love with you and she turns into a major league jealous cling-on with great expectations and tendency to show up at odd times with tears in her eyes. I hate that. :lmao: :lmao: That was awesome:lmao: I believe you've just described a man in Jessica Alba mask. , Right?!!
Quinch Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Maybe it's how you trained your pet to use a shotgun???? I dunno... It's not a shotgun, it's a sniper rifle. Cats prefer a clean kill.
Pink Amulet Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 It's not a shotgun, it's a sniper rifle. Cats prefer a clean kill. *nods* He's right.
alphamale Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 the qualities that I hate about women are also the same qualities that endear me to them....so you can never win.
blind_otter Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 The things I don't like about women, are things I also dislike about being a woman, myself: being moody getting overly emotional sometimes compulsively checking my hair the occassional "feeling like a fatty" mood that comes over me once a month crying when I'm angry
mental_traveller Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Why date women then? I don't, unless these habits are absent or compensated for by good qualities
riobikini Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 OK -you suggested that women could air their "top things women don't like about men". So here's just a few: Adult men who still live with their mom -because they have to.. Men who lie about their marital, single, or attachment status ( "I'm in the *process* of getting a divorce", or " I'm not dating anyone, right now"). Men who mooch off you for everything from the dinner check to his monthly child support, or car payment. Men who lie about their "importance" (even though you really don't care if they're the butcher, the baker, or the candlestick maker -just so they're "decent"). Men who tell you they're "really close" to their children, and extended family to impress upon you they have "family values" -but *never* can tell you what their kid likes to do, or who's house they gather at for holidays. Men who immediately want to know what you're looking for in a partner, so they can pretend to be *that* guy. Men who treat *their* car with loving care -but treat your car like sh*t, and never fill back the tank. Men who say they can "do anything" when it comes to handyman projects around the house -but wind up costing you a fortune in major repairs over the doorbell they couldn't reinstall after they ripped it out. Or something similar. Men who suck up to your kids to try to impress you (my kids have learned to know *immediately* a clown when they see one. I am now paying for lessons from both of them to learn how to spot the "losers"). (Smile). Men who act like I need "help" doing things I have done for years (esp. financially-related things, and automotive care) -totally *without* their help, and quite successfully. These are just a few things. The list goes on.... -Rio
norajane Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Men who lie about their marital, single, or attachment status ( "I'm in the *process* of getting a divorce", or " I'm not dating anyone, right now"). And "right now" means this weekend because my gf is out of town.
alphamale Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Men who suck up to your kids to try to impress you so, basically you want a man who ignores your kids and treats them like dirt? am I correct?
missy77 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 These are just a few things I can't stand in a guy: Men who say they are going to call, and then they don't! Men who lie Men who flirt with other girls, when you are with him and you can see him doing this Men who are controling or dominating Men who are cheap Men who are scared to commit Men who cause drama Men who talk about their ex Men who are untrustworthy I could go on foerver.....
riobikini Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 re: Alphamale: " so, basically you want a man who ignores your kids and treats them like dirt? am I correct?" Certainly not, Alpha....but -normally, if I introduce a sleek one who is perpetually going overboard with the :"nice -ities"- the girls will pick up on it quicker than I do. They're a good sounding board with that -most of the time. All we're looking for (they -and I) is just a regular, decent guy who can be himself -and it turn out that his true self is a guy we all three don't mind keeping around. (Smile) -Rio

I thought you were off the market ???.. I recently dated a woman that introduced me to her kids too quickly ( at least I felt that ). After listening to the kids for a while I picked up on things about their mom.... It was the way they gave me the gears.. the looks.. Kinda like I wasn't gonna be around long.. I wasn't..maybe a half a dozen dates.. I think the kids were a small reason why.. They gave me a glimpse into her life just as well as she was using her kids to sniff out the guys.. So.. it can backfire on you too.. I was sensitive to how the kids reacted around me in certain situations and that let me know a lot about their mom..
pricillia Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I know that there are men and women out there that suck but what about just taking a step back and enjoying the person that you are with. ok with that said for both men and women, the biggest pet peeve is not letting someone be themselves.
amerikajin Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Men, I'd love to hear any dating gripes you have about us women, and women feel free to share any gripes as well, and I'm terribly sorry if this has been discussed before. There are too many darn posts to sift through. For instance, after talking to a few guys about my current honey, I've been told to stop overanalyzing and just enjoy my time with him (which is a bit over 3 weeks now). And not "talking relationship talk.." but I'm having trouble resisting that, because I'm starting to want more! Generally speaking, the thing that's most difficult for me to deal with is the degree to which women think emotionally rather than logically. I'm not saying women can't think logically, as that would be akin to saying men can't think emotionally; but I'm saying that women more often than men seem to allow their emotions to get the better of them and it irritates the piss out of me. Women don't just listen to what we say, it's how we say things. Another thing is, women sometimes insist on verbalizing everything, talking things to death when I may not really be in the mood to talk. Not everything has to be a 3-hour conversation. I don't understand why a woman gets upset if you don't want to stay on the phone for more than an hour, as I just might actually have other things to do.
riobikini Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 ArtCritic: " I thought you were off the market ???.." Great guy (so far) that I'm seeing. Just not willing to jump too quickly (this time) in sealing anything with a big ol' stamp of approval until I know him/learn him/undertsand him *a lot* better -and for *a lot* longer than I've done in the past. Very loyal and faithful gal -just taking my time, Art. (Smile) -Rio
beatlebob Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 The things I don't like about some women: ---Badmouthing all their exes ---Jealousy if I speak to or look at another breathing female ---Saying how they don't like most women, women are beetches, etc. ---Repeatedly asking what's wrong when I'm just tired and chilling out ---Calling me 12 times a day or wanting to talk for hours on the phone
norajane Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 ---Repeatedly asking what's wrong when I'm just tired and chilling out When she asks, do you tell her you're just tired and chilling out, or do you say, "nothing's wrong" in an increasingly aggravated tone of voice? To avoid the questioning you can tell her you're tired, had a hard week at work/school/band camp, and you need some chill time, but you'll be fine after a night of video games and a couple beers or whatever. Then kiss her and thank her for noticing that you're tired.
amaysngrace Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 NoraJane...you should be a counselor for couples. That's what I think. You must have the best relationships in life.
norajane Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 NoraJane...you should be a counselor for couples. That's what I think. You must have the best relationships in life. I am looking for a new career... I do have great relationships with my family, my friends, and my SO. Still, it's easier to give objective advice when it's not your problem. For example, I'm trying to figure out how to tell my SO that he needs to make more time for us and that 'busy' is a fact of life, so he needs to learn to deal with it better or he's going to be a lot less busy because he's not going to have an 'us' to have to make time for.
