I say put his post back up...I had a brilliant reply almost ready to go...

Feel sorry for him all you want, YaHoo, he gets to sleep with me, he gets to carry a gun and arrest assholes, he serves our country and protects assholes like you (despite my pleas otherwise) and still manages to clean up after himself, wipe his own ass and feed himself. He wants me on top and I'm not picky. In his book, he's pretty much got it made.

Fortunately for my pocketbook, he does pay for his own toys and gun habit. Fortunately for his, I pay for my bikes and races.

I have little need for his nuts, he can keep them (he uses them better) and he's 100% of the man I'll never want to be. And to get back to your original comment - and why we all started bitching at you in the first place - our relationship works because that's the way WE want it. He kills the spiders, I usually wash the dishes. If your wife enjoys living with your nuts in her mouth - who am I to save her?

And since it's a women's forum....shouldn't you feel oddly out of place? (No offense to those that play nice in the sandbox)

I have one!

My boyfriend is very tall and insists on sitting down to tie his shoes. He thinks that his feet are too far away for him to lean over and tie his shoes like regular people.

Now that its winter, every time he wanders away from the doormat and into the dining room to tie his shoes, he drips dirty water and leaves a trail of rocks behind him. I have had to vacuum and mop the floor after him every day this week. Last night I asked him to stop this and this morning as he was leaving for the pool I caught him doing it again!

See, we are a complex gender, this thread is up to 4 pages and you still can't figure us out. I could start and end a thread about women with one word, "nuts".

Such a typical guy :-)

The girls were doing some bonding over what a pain in the a** their S.O.s are. That's how we connect, talking. Boys, they grunt, nod their heads and roll their eyes. That pretty much covers an entire conversation right there.

See, I have this all figured out!

Jeez Jen, do you really think we are that one dimensional?









Don't forget we also fart and laugh about it. ;)

I'm confused. What does the eye rolling cover that the grunt and nod doesn't?

""Women are nuts.""

Oh, trust me, we have grunts that say that without the need for eye rolling.

That's a typical male reaction. Just solve the problem already. :p

Then why do you all invest so much energy in complaining instead of just doing the fixing.

Because why do WE always have to be the ones FIXING? If we notice the problem and identify the problem for you - and YOU are the ones causing the problem....shouldn't you be the one FIXING the problem?

(Note: I realize the answer here is that YOU don't realize that it's a problem until SHE starts bitching - and then it really isn't YOUR problem....but that circles back to the LISTENING and CARING part...you should want to help and compromise and help keep us happy...and we'll generally quit bitching....at least about that particular problem...=)

I think you're answering a different questions. If you WANT us to fix the problem, then we're more than happy to. Thatwhat we do. It's when you tell us you DON'T want us to fix the problem where things start to break down.

Exactly right.

How things should go:
Her: Honey, I have a problem. Can you fix it?
Him: Sure, what's broke? I'll do my best to fix it.

How things actually go:
Her: /doesn't talk
Her: /still doesn't talk 5 minutes later
Her: /still doesn't talk 10 minutes late but starts sighing
Him: Honey, what's wrong?
Her: Nuthing /said very pouty
Him: OK.
Her: /rolls eyes
Her: /gets up and storms off about 30 seconds later
Him: /gets the image in his head of the coyote right after he has ran off the cliff, looks down, and realizes that he's about to fall to his death
Him: Honey, what's wrong? I know there is something wrong.
Her: NOTHING IS WRONG YOU INSENSITIVE CLOD!!!
Her: /locks herself in the bedroom sobbing
Him: Honey, can I at least have a pillow and a blanket so that I can sleep on the couch tonight?

This is the problem guys are facing all over the world. A problem exists. We may or may not be aware of it, but it does indeed exist. Guys are by and large pretty dense, and don't take hints well. We need to be told, and in no uncertain terms. No hints. No "you ought to know". No BS. Just tell us in plain English. Maybe a couple of times. :p If you were to assign a priority rating to the issue, this would be helpful. Once we've been notified that a problem does indeed exist, we still don't know if you want us to fix it. Or if you just want to talk about it. Or both. Or neither. The thing is, we don't know and we aren't intuitive enough to figure it out. You need to tell us. Tell us about the problem. Tell us if you'd like us to resolve the problem, or if you just want to talk about it. Or if you want to talk about it first, and then have us fix it. Or if you've already fixed it but still want to talk about it. Then give us a reasonable timeframe in which to solve the problem (if that is what you want). Then leave us alone long enough to fix it. Then, because we're all pretty much dogs anyway, a treat would be nice. :D
