Ann Ruthenburg : Marriage Doctor
HELLO there folks, how are you this week? I thought women need a jolt to reality this week when guys tell us what it is we do that they do not like. . .here we go. . .Men hate it when women take dream literally. They say stop getting mad at me for what I did in your dreams.
Men hate it when women keep bringing up the past. When the fight is done, let it go. It’s over, no need to bring it up or reopen. Forgive, forget, move on.
Men hate it when women assume every man must want to have sex with every woman all of the time. No they do not and its not because the guy is guy or immature, but he just does not find you attractive.
Men hate being spoken to like kids, even if they are acting like kids. When I finally decide to open up around you and show a more sensitive side DO NOT SAY “Aww. . .”
Men hate Women who start and argument by asking a question you know we can’t answer. Setting us up for questions that have no right answers.
Men hate it when women think their title is “Queen”. Stop posting those “A real man would treat their girl like a Queen” degrading postings on Facebook. It is not our job to serve you like a queen, and you’d better believe a guy would get an angry feminist mob bearing down on them if they posted something similar about men. It’s not funny and makes you look like a bitch to all men, no matter how many of your girlfriends agree.
Men hate women who behave in a passive aggressive way. Just tell me what you want and stop hemming and hawing and saying, “nothing” when you really do want something.
Men hate it when women are indecisive. Me: “What do you want to do for dinner?” Her: “I don’t know, whatever’s fine with me.” Me: “How about that Mexican place on 2nd street?” Her: “I’m not in the mood for Mexican.” Me: “What are you in the mood for?” Her: “Eh, whatever you want. . .” My bad, but when you guys say “whatever”, I assume you mean “whatever”.
Men hate it when women drop hints rather than say out what they want. Dropping hints. Seriously. We don’t pick them up. We won’t pick them up. We can’t pick them up. Stop expecting us to know what you want or feel and just say it.
Allow guys to stare into space or look blank, they are not mad, it’s normal. As a man, my mind often wanders. If I’m staring off into space, please stop asking me “What I’m thinking.” I usually don’t know. Admitting this, however, seems to trigger an argument, since I’m “avoiding” the question. There is only an infinitesimally small chance that my wandering thoughts are about you. There’s an even smaller chance that it’s anything negative.
Men do not mind eating off your plate if you can’t finish, but not vice a versa.Order your own fries or salad at the restaurant. I told you to get whatever you wanted. I wanted a whole serving of fries, that’s why I ordered myself a whole serving of fries. I didn’t order something cause I only wanted half of it and was hoping to split the rest with you.
Men hate it when women are nasty towards each other, or tear other women down behind their backs. Honestly, I love the company of women. I just can’t stand how they can be so mean to each other when guys aren’t around.
Men hate it when women sexually harass them – true. Just cause I’m a guy doesn’t mean you can sexually harass me. It doesn’t matter what gender you are. It’s creepy, Kathryn.
Men hate it when women spend ages on their phone replying every message. Stop taking an hour to reply to every text. Every time we hang out, you’re on your phone.
Stop talking during a movie. Stop asking me questions about a movie we’re watching together that we’ve both never seen. No, I don’t know if he’s going to die, I’ve seen exactly as much of this fucking movie as you have. Also, when you asked me what the person on the screen said, I don’t know because when they were talking you were asking me what the person on the screen before them said. Oh, and I’m sorry you didn’t follow what happened with that one person in the movie because you started playing with your phone for ten minutes to ignore the movie that you picked for us to watch.
Men hate it when women treat sex like it is a gift to men. Stop treating sex as something you let us do to you.
Men hate it when women put their feet on the dashboard when they are driving. Take your feet off the dashboard women, we spent ages polishing the inside of our cars.
Men hate it when women can’t take compliments. When we say, “you look beautiful today” we aren’t saying you don’t look beautiful on any other day, we are just saying you look exceptionally beautiful today. Take it as a real compliment.
Men hate when women wake them up just because he is up. Just because you have woken up does not mean I want to be woken up. Women in my life seem to always have this notion that as soon as they’re awake, I had better be getting up too, but if I wake HER up. . .World War 3.
Men hate when women are hypocrites. Please, don’t tell me it’s weird to have girls as friends when 82 percent of your friends are guys! And then you go cheat on me emotionally with those 82 percent of friends.
Men ate it when women use their PMS to be emotional or nasty. Please stop announcing when you’re on your period. It doesn’t give you a free pass to lash out at everyone for no reason.
Men hate it when women think they have no feelings. Generally speaking as a guy, a trait I run into among many women, especially those from privileged upbringing, is the pretentious stance that men do not have a heart. That really needs to stop, right now.
If you want to be one of the boys you can. If you insist on getting treated like one of the guys, then don’t get pissed when you do in fact get treated like one of the guys.
Men hate it when women do not have confidence in themselves. You can even. Stop telling me you can’t
Well there you have folks, what do you think? Until next week, God bless!
