What men want from women

Anne Ruthenburg Marriage Doctor
HELLO there people, how has the week treated you? I found myself quite irritated this week. Everything got me irritated. Unfortunately the situation that is causing my irritation did not go away, so I am having to change my attitude so that I am happy regardless of the situation I am in. This week I am going to have a little fun with you all. I will be discussing a few things men say that irritates them about women. Here we go:

We women sometimes think we are more perfect compared to our men and we sure are kikiki. But there are times (admit it) when we do some less-than-perfect things that annoy our significant others in our lives. Of course, it is not our fault, is it ladies? I mean really how can we be perfect every day right? Unfortunately when we make mistakes or when we do silly things, our men take notice. Here are some of the things men say are the top 10 things men hate about us women.

The statement, ‘Do what you want,’ really means just that when a guy says it. There is no hidden agenda or secret read-between-the-lines meaning that you have to search for. Although we do know what men want – most of the time – there are some things that men just don’t care about. And by that they don’t mean that they don’t care about it in a mean, non-caring manner, just that it doesn’t figure in their priority list. So save yourself the trouble and let go of these few things that men genuinely don’t care about.

Stop trying to be a detective – Love makes us want to know everything about our man. So checking his phone, going through his drawer etc is mandatory. But before you go all Detective Dube on him, just stop to think if you would like it if he did the same. You sure don’t want him to find those granny panties, do you? So you have your little secrets and let him have his. Unless of cause he has started changing towards you and you suspect he is having an affair – then that’s a different story kikiki.

Nagging – This is a trait neither men or women enjoy, being nagged. No one wants to constantly be told what to do and when to do it and how to do it. If you have to mention it more than twice, you are nagging – stop it! Find another way to say what you need to say, without complaining.

Do I look fat? – Men hate it when we ask it over and over again, and in spite of their answer, we repeat the question another 10 times. Men like women with confidence, who can decide for themselves and not have to ask all and sundry about how they look. Tip: Don’t ask him this question. Wait for your best friend and ask her about it instead. She will be honest and even when you ask the same question a hundred times, she probably won’t bat an eyelid.

Stop being clingy – We are very caring and want to know if our man’s okay or not; so calling or texting him every other hour is justified, right? Sadly, it is often taken the wrong way and we are thought of as clingy. What do you do? Wait for him to call, of course! Oh, and be a little distant too, if you know what we mean 😉

Don’t fake it – Men don’t like it when we fake it, orgasms or otherwise. They want us to be just who we are all the time. The poker face that you sometimes put on when you step outside does become an object of hatred for men.

Back-biting – Tearing other women down might make you feel better, but from what I hear men do not necessarily enjoy this especially if the person does not deserve it. If you want to be bitchy or you are jealous about another woman – tell your best friend. Your man will probably think less of you if you continue to tear other women down. Also you might make your man feel like he has to defend the other women, and of cause that will make you mad and more jealous, so stop while you are still his favourite woman.

Hate his buddies – Girl, you need to learn quickly that a man’s friends sometimes they mean more to him than his woman. Oh yes, I have heard men say that. Why! Well, remember before you, was his friend. Yes, that worst friend. And his friend does not judge him like you do. His friend does not criticise him and complain about his embarrassing torn T-shirts like you do, his friend allows him to behave stupidly and they laugh about it, whereas you will tell him he is embarrassing you. Shall I go on? I did not think so kikiki . . .

So there you go ladies, men are so simple! These are so few things about us that annoy them. Imagine what our list is like, I wouldn’t even know where to start lol!
Well, there you have it, just a little bit for you all to think about. That is it from me now. Until next week God bless!
