10 things men don't know about women

wrote this out of a bit of boredom.. Maybe it will be useful to some of you boys here..

1. We like it when you notice small changes in our appearance. Hearing “Are you wearing new eye shadow? It looks nice,” or “You look cute in the new outfit,” makes our day so much better.

2. Most girls think they are fat. If I say I am fat, don’t just say that I’m not. Tell me that I’m the most gorgeous woman you have ever seen and that those skinny twigs have nothing on me.

3. Women like compliments. Every day. Not just once a week or month. Even if it is just saying that we look nice we still like to hear it.

4. We don’t like secrets. At all. If you are doing something that you won’t let us know about then it is automatically something suspicious and we will create the worst scenario in our mind until we find out what it is.

5. Women don’t like men that chew with their mouths open or talk while eating. It is disgusting. Please don’t do it. We would rather their be silence than to have to attempt to listen while you are eating a piece of steak.

6. Getting the busy signal over and over makes us want to kill you. Get call waiting, damn you. The same goes for letting the phone ring on and on and on before picking up.

7. Don’t make fun of our flaws. If we are afraid of spiders and being out alone, don’t call us a weenie or a pansy or you might find a large fake snake on your pillow one night.

8. Women like to be around their men. Doing anything at all. Just going out to eat or going to a movie or even doing physical labor. We just want to spend our time with the people that we like.

9. If we refuse to look at you, something is wrong. If we don’t speak to you, something is wrong. If we get up and walk away, something is wrong. So sitting there and pretending like something is not wrong is not the best option.

10. There are moments when we hate you and love you at the same time. We may get upset but that doesn’t mean that the relationship is over, so don’t act like it is just because we flip out. That will make us flip out more and make the situation worse.

Most of this I actually know, May not always follow it around certain people. there is a girl that is clingy and aledgedly crushing on me that I don't like so yeah I use some of this against that.

Sadly though I'm the same with some of it (3-10 tongue.gif), but that's just insecurity

I've summed this up in language men will understand. In bold:

1. We like it when you notice small changes in our appearance. Hearing “Are you wearing new eye shadow? It looks nice,” or “You look cute in the new outfit,” makes our day so much better. (Women are vain)

2. Most girls think they are fat. If I say I am fat, don’t just say that I’m not. Tell me that I’m the most gorgeous woman you have ever seen and that those skinny twigs have nothing on me. (Women are vain)

3. Women like compliments. Every day. Not just once a week or month. Even if it is just saying that we look nice we still like to hear it. (Women are vain)

4. We don’t like secrets. At all. If you are doing something that you won’t let us know about then it is automatically something suspicious and we will create the worst scenario in our mind until we find out what it is.(Women are paranoid)

5. Women don’t like men that chew with their mouths open or talk while eating. It is disgusting. Please don’t do it. We would rather their be silence than to have to attempt to listen while you are eating a piece of steak. (this isn't just women, so ignore it)

6. Getting the busy signal over and over makes us want to kill you. Get call waiting, damn you. The same goes for letting the phone ring on and on and on before picking up. (Women are impatient)

7. Don’t make fun of our flaws. If we are afraid of spiders and being out alone, don’t call us a weenie or a pansy or you might find a large fake snake on your pillow one night. (Women can't take a joke)

8. Women like to be around their men. Doing anything at all. Just going out to eat or going to a movie or even doing physical labor. We just want to spend our time with the people that we like. (I edited this one)

9. If we refuse to look at you, something is wrong. If we don’t speak to you, something is wrong. If we get up and walk away, something is wrong. So sitting there and pretending like something is not wrong is not the best option. (Women expect you to care if they're in a mood again)

10. There are moments when we hate you and love you at the same time. We may get upset but that doesn’t mean that the relationship is over, so don’t act like it is just because we flip out. That will make us flip out more and make the situation worse. (Women are, basically, impossible and incomprehendable)

Oh, I didn't know you were a homosexual, Amaru.

I just dabble in misogyny.

I'm guessing he thinks of it as something cute and pet namish.

I'm just glad I didn't go through this, the only reason I broke up with my ex was that they live in TASMANIA. (I'm NSW for reference) Long distance kinda detracts from... any form of snugglyness.

And does Amaru... want to be hurt?
Penelope2006-04-29 19:00:53
Should add to this that women don't like men trying to be sarcastic and funny but only come off sounding like an censor.gif hole.

Nah, Homosexuals probably would empathise more than hetrosexual men... well some would. Not the Brian Kinney(sp?) like ones
Unknown2006-04-29 19:05:56
Okay, and this is in the Funnies because? (and I know girls who are nothing like the things you write on the list, sorry. Maybe 5 and 7, but you can say that about most people)

Not only are you sexist, but a bigot too.

+ Decent women/men like decent women/men who are honest with them. If you need to be told you are better than you are, you need therapy.

+ Decent men/women understand decent women/men aren't psychic and any expectation of such is a personal flaw.

+ No straight man is going to notice if you are wearing new eyeshadow. If he does, your man is likely trapped in the closet.
Ashteru2006-04-29 19:10:34
What's eyeshadow?
Joli2006-04-29 19:11:21
hm, my post didn't post.

Amaru: Someone is sad today. hug.gif

Saran: I suppose it is a pet name, but my head in no way resembles a weenie.

Cuber: Most girls I know have acted like this at some point or the other and the ones I showed this to on the internet all liked it. Maybe your female friends are just the exception.
Asarnil2006-04-29 19:14:36
Someone shoot me. I agree with Narsrim. Gods saying that makes me feel dirty.

And if I think a girl I know is looking fat in that dress, I tell her. It may earn me a punch in the arm, but its those small white lies which lead all the way up to "No, I am not having sexual intercourse with that woman".

Have you tried psycological tourture every time he says it?

*giggle* everytime someone calls me something I don't like I raise an eyebrow, tilt my head and make a face... then again I have the whole snapping into moodyness and a death stare going for me aswell.

Oh and shouldn't there be something along the lines of "Know when to wait and when to push something"
Athana2006-04-29 19:25:27
I'm so opposite! I think it comes from being a laid-back Californian. cooldance.gif

1. I like it when my man notices me when I look normal, not when I'm all dressed up, that's a given. tongue.gif

2. Never had that problem...It bugs me when girls ask if they look fat just to hear what they want.

3. Meh. Not really, I'd rather have kisses and chocolate every day instead.

4. Secrets drive me crazy, but I secretly like them. (if they're trying to surprise me with something)

5. I weirdly don't mind it when guys chew with their mouths open (I do it occasionally), especially if I cooked for them. It just means that they are enjoying their food.

6. They can be busy, too. No biggy, I'll just call back later.

7. I don't mind a little teasing, I can accept my flaws and it's fun to laugh at yourself sometimes.

8. Yes, of course.

9. Usually that means I just need some alone time. I'll be back to normal soon.

10. PMS.

Athana sounds like a cool girl. Not vain too much. laugh.gif
Unknown2006-04-29 20:11:34
I find this way to general. They never have this kind of thing for guys. Do you know why? Because we don't care. tongue.gif

Also these things are made for women's enjoyment not men's education.

Two out of three right ain't bad. (Not telling which one isn't true, to keep you all wondering. Does Verithrax have super eyeshadow-detection skills?)
Acrune2006-04-29 20:55:23
1) Good luck with that. Lots of guys aren't going to notice anything short of having a boob cut off. tongue.gif
2) Doesn't work
3) I agree with an earlier person: vain wink.gif
4) You like having them though.
5) No one likes that. Coworker eats with his mouth open, and a former coworker ate on the phone with people. If someone did that to me, I'd make them call back later. Bleh.
6) Deal with it tongue.gif
7) Don't have flaws.
8) Who can blame ya?
9) Maybe we smell bad. Do you really want us to follow? tongue.gif
10) Don't confuse us! rolleyes.gif

Cute list tongue.gif Even I knew most of them though. happy.gif
