Women -vs- Men! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Personally, my theory is that men don't complain about women as much as women complain about men, because men have lousy memories.

Ask a man what he did on his last date and he won't remember where they went or what he ate. Ask a woman what she did on her first date, 15 years go, with her now husband, and she can recant what she wore and what she did to get ready.

Likewise, when a man complains about what a woman has done 5 minutes ago, the woman can come back with complaints about what he did 10 mins ago, 2 days ago, a month ago, a decade ago...

Men SAY they don't sweat the small stuff, but the fact the matter is, they CAN'T REMEMBER the stuff, big or small.

I would love to gat all your counterparts together in one thread and start on you ladies. All i see is this.

"i love him dearly.....but he blah blah blah blah."

How about..."i love him dearly." notice the period there. its pretty hard to do...i know.

You don't see any of the guys doing that. We live with your quirks and crazyiness over and over and over.

notice in the pet peeves thread...all the ladies were complaining. not one man was in there complaining...and then of course it branched to things about MEN we hate. lol.

as for games...thats our hobby. we like playing with them. don't get jealous..just find your own hobbies.

as for the reason we watch those sappy movies is because we come to learn a long time ago that if we don't watch it to you guys...we will never hear the end of it.

here is an example of the crazyiness we have to deal with.

When i'm watching a game...during commercial...nyma&pa wants to flip through the channels all the time. then of course she settles on that channel and won't change it back because she "got distracted" by her show. Or she wants to talk about something.

When she is watching her show...and i want to flip through the channel...she won't let me or remind me every 10 seconds to turn it back to her show when we all know it takes a good 2-3 minutes of commericals.

okay back to work...and watch me get it when i get home.

Very good point.. which brings me to another thing my bf would complain about- I remember EVERYTHING and he doesn't remember a darn thing. I remember what he said, what he wore, how he acted, what I said, what I wore... It's all ammo stored in my head for later use!

(And I'm always right, so he better not even try to pull the crap about me not remembering something accurately!

LOL! See my earlier post!)

we hold onto things like birthdays, anniversaries, shopping for food for your super bowl party, doing the laundry BEFORE it becomes necessary to do "the sniff test" to determine what's okay for repeat wearing and what's not, replacing the toilet paper in the holder so you're not stuck on the toilet with nothing but the tp roller to wipe, grocery shopping before the food runs out because milk does not appear in the fridge by some miracle or act of God... etc etc...

betcha forgot all the good stuff we remember huh!!!

All in all, I love my husband dearly, I really do........He's my best friend in the world, and I wouldn't want to live without him, ever. (notice I didn't say "couldn't"...*L*) He just gets on my nerves a lot. But like someone else said in the other thread...."concentrate on the good points"..... *sigh*

I guess after 17 years together, one can blow steam about the other person on some points, right? Right!

you should feel bad..you are bashing him and he is not here to defend himself..tell him to get on tonight.

as a token of your undying love and devotion to him...you should have his favorite meal ready for him....draw him a bath...pick up his things do all that tonight without saying a peep. SHOW HIM THE LOVE!!!!

lol....there is no one here to blame but you ladies. you spoil us just like you spoil your yorkies. You can't blame the yorkies for misbehaving and so you can't blame us. I think deep down...you guys want to do all of these thigns so you can complain about it later on.

BABE!!! How could you say that... It is not THAT bad. LMAO!!!

You know what.. this happend a couple of Sunday's ago and I totally (cracking up at work) forgot about the game because my show was just SO good.

<This is SO old honey... stop living in the past.

>

Understand I really enjoy football however... I require him to pay attention to me at the same time. When I am with my dad or family, I can sit and just watch. But when it is just he and I, I get restless and distractable therefore distracting him. lol

What he fails to mention, is that I get a beer when he needs it w/o complaint, make him food w/o complaint (love those duties) and even remind him a game is on.

My bf is so forgetful... he says we never had conversations that we have... It's usually the converstations about him doing something in the house, going somewhere after work or on the weekend... He has selective hearing and selective memory. If he thinks I'm making up a conversation we had in a restaurant, I have all the detail stored up- what we were wearing, what he was eating, who we saw, what our waiter/waitress was like... then he gets the point and "remembers!" We have lots of love. Peace would be only having to have a conversation once and having him remember what was said!

A typical "discussion" with hubby will goes as follows:

Me: You left the toilet paper roller empty again. I hate it when you forget to replace the toilet paper in the bathroom. You always do that! Why do you do all these annoying things???
Him: "All these annoying things?" Like what? What's "All these annoying things?"
Me: Like not taking out the garbage like you're suppose to and it's left sitting in the hallway next to the door. Like not putting the nail clipper back in the drawer after you use it so the next person who wants to use it can find it. Like putting your shoes ON the shoe rack instead of just laying around on the floor in the entry way. Like putting the laundry on, over, beside, near the hamper, but never IN the hamper....
Him: Well, there's stuff that you do that annoys me too!
Me: Oh yeah? Like what?
Him: Like... you know.... STUFF!
Me: Like what "STUFF"??
Him: Like... like.... I love you... you're such a sweet and caring and FORGIVING person. I'm going to replace the toilet paper now. *mwah*

I've got a great joke on men and their memory issues... but i'm not sure it's suitable for polite company.... hehe...
