Men are from Mars, we know this. But women are not from Venus that would be too simple. Women, we all know, are not simple. Complexities of women are too hard for one man to explore; we as men can only assume and then complain. The complaints are not just what we don’t like, but what we do not understand. Following are just a few of my most recent complaints about women, and most of them have to do with my relationship with my girlfriend.
Personally, my first complaint is how women are so damn emotional. Why do women always cry about everything? I remember, one day, my girlfriend crying. When I asked her what she was crying about she said slobbery, “I am just so happy that I can not stand it.” I am thinking what the hell does this mean? Is she being literal, can she not stand to be happy? Why is she so happy? Who the hell cries when they are happy? Aren’t you supposed to cry when you are sad? I guess the complaint here is, women should cry when they are sad, smile and laugh when they are happy, and have a frown when they are mad. These are simple expressions of feelings that men can understand.
Also, simply stating, in clear words, what you feel would be nice. It seems that women “beat around the bush” when explaining how they feel. Doing that does not make any sense at all; simply state what you want, think, and feel. It is extremely annoying when women say something like “It sure would be nice to receive flowers at least once a week, like Amelia next door does.” GRRR. Just say “Hey doofus, bring me flowers once a week and I will be the happiest woman on Earth.” This seems so much easier then “dropping hints.” Nothing is more demeaning then being compared to another man and his relationship with another woman. Not only will I be happier hearing you say what you want clearly but you will be happier getting exactly what you want and need on a daily basis.
Yet another complaint about my beautiful girlfriend; why is it that she always has to be right? It seems that no matter the “fight” or no matter the non-agreement she always has to be right, have the last say, and will not stop until I tell her that she is right. Now, many will argue that men do this as well, but that has not been my experience. Just the other day we were watching a movie, having a great time and she asked me who an actor was. When I told her she immedietly said that I was wrong that there was no way that this actor would be in this movie. In her mind that could never be and she was right. So after arguing for a few minutes, it seemed like forever, we finally looked on the internet and she was afterall right. She never backed down and she was determined to be right. I often joke with her in instances like this, even if she would have been wrong she still would have been right because the internet can say anything, especially the movie websites. I have learned to let her be right and most of the time it is not worth the effort to prove her right or sometimes wrong, because she will ALWAYS be right.
My BIGGEST, number one complaint is the shopping. Most of the time when we run to Wal Mart or something we go for good deals on food. Well we all know women, they cannot just run into Wal Mart to pick up a couple of things or just do the grocery shopping. Women have to go up and down every isle and look at every little department. My girlfriend always is going into the baby section, we don’t have a baby. Yes, we do have a baby niece and yes, we do love her. We do not have to buy her something or some things every time we are there. Another huge expense that seems to be in abundance for us is home appliances, utensils and whatever else she can find. We live with her parents right now until we can purchase our own home and we do not even use the stuff she buys. This “junk,” as I call it, sits in storage untouched and unused, we just did not need it at that time. Her excuse or her reasoning for this is, “It was such a great deal and you can’t pass it up because who knows if that deal will be there tomorrow.” All I hear is “I love to spend your money on pointless shit and this is so much fun and I don’t have to worry about having money in my bank account for our bills because I just spend your money like it grows on trees.” I just don’t understand, why not wait to buy something when it becomes necessary instead of spending the money now when we could be saving it or using it to pay off more bills. Poor women, they just do not understand.
The complaints above are things that I hate my girlfriend doing and quite frankly I do not understand why she does these things. I sometimes feel like she is purposely doing this to get me heated. I have learned to deal with these things by keeping my mouth shut and the every other item put away when she is not looking. I still do not understand why she does these things but at least now I have complained, and learned how to deal. How do you deal with you significant other?
