10 ways women annoy men
http://love.msn.com/men/article1.asp
Men love women – the way they look, smell, walk, and talk. But, let’s face it, nobody is perfect. So after some thorough analysis, we dug up the top 10 things women do that drive men to the brink of insanity:
10. Pretend to be virtuous
We suspect women have a guilt complex when it comes to encounters with men, which is why they often choose to choose to “omit” or “forget” that one-night stand they recently had. Now, we applaud ladies who are innocent and pure, but the rest should stop trying to water down their past. Women can have just as much fun as men, and they should find a man who can appreciate that.
- Criticize other women
Why are some women so catty? They refuse to compliment other women and nitpick about everything from weight to hairstyle. Only a female would notice if another woman’s shoes don’t match her purse and then point it out as though it’s a crime.
Sure, some women are willing to admit when another woman is attractive, but many seem compelled to badmouth the competition.
- Act jealous
It doesn’t take much to set some women off – just mentioning another women’s name can spell the end of your relationship. Imagine, then, the warfare you’ll have to endure if she finds out you were at a gentleman’s club.
Call it what you will, but a lot of women need to second-guess everything, especially their man’s loyalty. If you’ve given her reason to doubt you, then her paranoia is likely justified. Otherwise, she shouldn’t play detective with you just because she’s feeling insecure.
- Become needy
Some women have serious security issues. They need their men to hold them, caress them, and tell them how special they are – every waking moment of the day. They turn men into emotional crutches and look for an inordinate amount of moral, mental and emotional support.
As tempting as it may be to use this neediness to our advantage, I think most men would prefer a woman who is less clingy and more independent.
- Speak in code
The old “What are you thinking?” question is a timeless example of how many women love to test their men and search for our true feelings about them. They hurdle obscure, theoretical questions at us and go ballistic when we respond with a blank stare.
And how pitiful is it when a man tenses up in the face of “female speak?” His mind goes into overdrive while his lady starts tapping her foot. At this point, there’s nothing left to do except throw a random response out there and hope you don’t end up in the doghouse.
Number 5
Invade our personal space
Women have this instinctive tick that makes them want to groom us anytime they want and make our personal belongings theirs.
In other words, when they’re not adjusting our tie for the umpteenth time, they’re rummaging through our drawers, looking for a sweatshirt to change into. Am I the only one who sees a problem here? We all know that there would be hell to pay if we so much as thought about giving them a haircut or sorting through their stuff, so why is it that our turf is fair game?
Number 4
Become too emotional
They cry over anything: a sad movie (or even a happy one), a broken nail, or a haircut gone awry. What’s worse, they expect us to clean up the emotional mess. And if there’s one thing we suck at, it’s dealing with a crying woman on our shoulder.
It’s not that we’re insensitive, but aside from saying, “There there, sweetie,” we don’t know the first thing about comforting a woman. The fact that women are usually more delicate and vulnerable is great; we just don’t want the steady stream of tears for every minor setback.
Number 3
Shop till they drop
When it comes to shopping, there just aren’t enough hours in the day for most women. Whether it’s browsing, window-shopping, or an all-out spending spree, they can spend hours on end in a shoe store, among others, without even thinking about food, water, or any of their responsibilities.
But what’s worse is that they have to take us along for the ride. So there we go, from store to store, wandering aimlessly back and forth while they inspect every article of clothing by their respective price tags.
Number 2
Talk incessantly
Chris Rock nailed it when he said that asking how her day went renders a 45-minute conversation. Most women love to talk, and if you give them the ammo, they won’t stop. It’s not that we don’t care about what they have to say; it’s just that we don’t need to hear every minute detail.
Number 1
Use sex as a weapon
In the war of the sexes, it’s all about who wears the pants in the relationship. Oftentimes most women, in an effort to show their superiority, will attack men’s universal weak spot: sex.
And while I applaud them for this gutsy tactic, they really should leave the basic human needs alone, don’t you think?
learn to tolerate
In the grand scheme of things, women’s annoying habits aren’t that bad. Chances are you’ll adapt to them in time, as will she when it comes to your annoying tendencies. Nobody’s perfect, and I think that’s something we can all agree on.
