I am a strange woman and I tell my husband exactly what I want/need or why I am upset. My husband stuck on the idea that when a woman says "no" it means "yes" and so... we go into conflict very often. The one that drives me crazy the most is when he asks me if I am hungry, and I say no, he thinks I mean yes and insists. He continues to ask me until I get upset and then tells me I am upset because I am hungry. I understand why he does that but still annoys me so much.

I don’t think so. A lot of men are problem solvers. Tell a lot of men you’re cold, and you’ll be bundled in blankets before you finish the sentence. My fiancé is this way and I have to be careful with my complaints or he’ll do everything for me even if I just felt like complaining.

Yes! It's not even about the how of it, it's when we do ask, it gets ignored, then comes the "I'm cold" or I almost broke my neck on the driveway", it's because we already asked usually more than once.

Men, I love you, but EVERY conversation with ANYONE should always be looked through three lenses: 1. What is this person trying to communicate? (easiest one) 2. What is this person's emotional state (not too hard)? 3. What is this person trying to accomplish with this conversation? (this one can be hard, it's okay to ask) This goes for men or women who need help being active listeners.
WriteHanded 6 years ago
And, if it's hard to figure out... there's always the fallback of simply asking, "Is there anything I can do to help with this?" People will generally respond either that they just needed someone to talk to or they'll tell you how you can help.

It's mainly because of the pressure put on men in general to always be outwardly strong and have a strong front at all times. We get to this point where we have to put this wall up around our emotions lest people actually know that we have "feelings" *gasp*. I'll be perfectly honest, once I came to the conclusion that this was complete BS and quit forgetting what other people's view on a males societal roles not only did my relationships improve but my life in general.

Growing up I had a friend who was anorexic, and he struggled to get treatment as "boys don't get anorexia". They do. He also struggled with everyone thinking he was homosexual, as "if he's got an eating disorder he must be gay, MEN don't get eating disorders". They do, regardless of & utterly unrelated to their sexuality. He was labelled as an attention seeker, because he should "man up & just stop being daft". People do not need labels. He was forced to leave school at 15 because of bullying & hate & ignorance. This was 20 something years ago & not enough has changed. We lost him at the age of 20, suicide, but the anorexia would have taken him before much longer. I still talk to him, I wish I could give him better news about the way things have progressed. His name was Jude. X
Tammy Chapman 6 years ago
I am so sorry you lost your friend at such a young age. Sadly, almost nothing has changed since then. Not on this subject anyway. A lot of the kids in junior high and high schools tend to be cruel towards anyone who is even a little different from them. And peer pressure is just as bad as ever. They need to create a class that students have to take once a week for grades K-3 and daily for grades 4-12. The class should focus on things like decency, respect, empathy, love of others, how to treat others the way you want to be treated, etc. They should also teach them what not to do, such as bullying, being hateful, hurting others, online bullying, fighting, etc. If they could do this nationwide, (worldwide) our children would grow up happier, healthier, less cruel, less violent, and they wouldn't dread going to school as badly as they do now. We need to teach them these things so that they can be better people, and have a better future. It could save a lot of lives.

It's horrible--people are always saying "boys don't cry" or "boys are always full of themselves" but that's a toxic stereotype. I know a boy who is severely depressed and lonely and I have tried to talk to him and help, but he always says he doesn't want help. Boys are taught to do things themselves and not ask for help, but that's just wrong. Gender equality, people.

There's an old joke buy comedian Mark Gungor, and part of it goes like this: Men have a box in their brain that women are not aware of. This particular box, has NOTHING in it. It’s true. In fact, we call it the “Nothing” box. And of all the boxes a man has in his brain, the nothing box is his favorite box. If a man has a chance, he’ll go to his nothing box EVERYTIME. That’s why a man can do something seemingly completely brain dead for hours on end. You know, like, fishing. They’ve actually measured this. The University of Pennsylvania did a study and men can do absolutely nothing and still breathe. Women can’t do it. Their minds never stop! Zzz-Zzzz-zzzz. And they don’t understand the “Nothing” box…and it drives them CRAZY…because NOTHING makes a woman go crazy like watching a man…doing…nothing!” https://www.littlethings.com/mens-brains-vs-womens-brains/

Oh for f*ck's sake! Do you live in the place? Do you poop in that toilet? Then take some cleaner and a brush and CLEAN the damned TOILET, instead of waiting all the time for your womanservant to do it. And after you clean INside, wipe up the OUTside, and floor, from all your microsplashes because you are too MANly to sit down like a sensible person who understands that liquids falling into liquids from heights cause splashes.

My brother and his wife have the best relationship in the world. 4 years ago, she started doing oriental dancing. During the representations, he is almost always the only husband who attends, and most of her mates say that their husband/partner doesn't care. My brother is definitely not passionate about oriental dancing, he just likes seeing her do something she loves!

The person you can be yourself with and leave everything else at the door. And trust me we feel kinda the same pressure. We have to be pretty, thin, a great cook, a good housekeeper, a good mom, have a good job, be neighbourly, make sure you guys are relaxed. All that and be f*****g graceful too. It's impossible.

In America (I’m not too sure about other places), there’s a huge idea that guys can’t touch one another or that girls can’t touch them, unless they’re in a romantic relationship. Girls are allowed to touch other girls, but touching males is seen as romance or flirting sometimes. Guys can’t even touch other guys in certain ways (hugging; hand-holding; back-scratching). It’s taught that it’s unmanly.

Guys are incredibly insecure when it comes to dating, we seem to judge ourselves incredibly hard on this particular subject.

Trust me when I say that most men are not as confident as you might think.

In LA, people will often assume you’re interested, simply cuz you’re NOT an a*****e/b***h. That’s the level of narcissism we’re dealing with. I’m friendly, but not at all flirty. If I ask a guy a purely technical question (like the sales associate), he thinks the question is merely a pretense (since he considers it unfathomable that I would be interested in something logistical), and that I’m into him. It took me a freakin’ long time to realize why they would mention that they had a gf or wife, just completely out of context and out of the blue...lol.

It's very true. I was raised with 'men are from Mars, women are from Venus' where really it should be "The solar system is big and empty, all life is amazing'"

I'm so fed up of this 'be obvious' bs. Your wives and girlfriends are not your carers, mothers or nurses. If you see something needs doing, do it. You do not need to be asked. Some men like to hide behind a wall of 'stupidity' in order to get out of things. 'You're better at it than me anyway' or 'I'd just do it wrong so you should do it' etc etc. You are not idiots, but have been conditioned by society to act this way.

I think I explained 500 times not to mix whites with colors when he does the laundry. His answer is always: then do it yourself. Gives him an excuse not to do it at all.... But then next time same thing happens...

It's good to have open conversations about men's insecurities and issues too, and there always needs to be mutual open communication in a relationship, regardless of whether that's a male/female or male/male or female/female relationship because people are different and express themselves and their needs differently

It really is so important. Sadly, there are still a lot of people out there who mock this sort of thing, and it makes me so sad. We're all human beings, we all deserve the same right to express our feelings without fear.

We are often ashamed of showing emotion because it's been used against us in the past. "He cries! lol. What a weakling." We go to the bathroom and cry, letting out emotion in solitude and come back with extra Machismo to mask it.

This makes me so mad/sad. I am middle-aged and even in my childhood it was considered normal for girls and boys to cry and show emotions. How can it be that a generation later men still have to deal with being allowed to act HUMAN? :(

Also I think, I'm not sure, but I think most men want to be a hero, whether it's in a symbolic or a literal sense, we want the chance to be redeemable and respected. The chance to come to someones aid, to defend someones honor, to save the day - it sounds a bit wanky and can apply to women as well, but there's something to it I think

For years, I've wanted a flight attendant to come out and ask the passengers if anyone can land a plane. I would be there so fast!

I think one of the greatest "secret" I've learned about men is that they get anxious about starting a family as well. In my culture, there is this whole scheme they feed you, that you as a woman should procreate no-matter what, that you are worth only your reproductive capability, besides you have a shelf-life, etc. etc. I guess it just never occurred to me that men could possibly get worried about such a thing.

My husband never tells me he liked my food. I have to watch and when he takes seconds, it means he likes it. But if he just finishes his plate and doesn't take seconds, it doesn't mean that he didn't like it, it can also mean that he just isn't that hungry, that he ate too many cookies and ruined his apetite, or that he is in a hurry and will take seconds later in the evening, or that he was just thinking about going to the loo, or that he sees a blue elephant, or.......

I need whatever ingredient you used which made him see blue elephants.

To be fairly honest, I'm a woman and can still relate to some of these, like the ones about zoning off and thinking about opening a brewery in the middle of nowhere and the story about the T-rex. Also, the two drops rule ending up on your pants is valid for both sexes. Not having toilet paper at hand(because someone else finished it and didn't put a new roll)sucks.

I loved this post. Sometimes you guys seem so sure and unassailable, that I feel superfluous. It's very very nice to hear sometimes that what's going on in your head is actually pretty similar. And that you also worry if we like you back and stuff.
