“I don’t care what we eat for dinner, you can decide!” This dreaded sentence seems innocent at first glance, but all too often escalates into an argument between partners or leaves one pouting and deciding not to eat at all. Why is it so hard to just ask for what we want?
Recently, men on Reddit have been pointing out bad habits they’ve noticed some women have, and being indirect is among them. Below, you’ll find a list of other behaviors that frustrate men, so whether you’re a man or a woman, enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the habits you can’t stand either.

Believing that men can read minds.
"If you really loved me, you'd know what I want without asking." HOW? Being in love doesn't grant you ESP. Stop playing stupid games and tell him what you want!
Acting like a b***h isn't a cute quirky personality trait.
Not respecting privacy or any privileged information.
Anything you tell her, or show her, you are *also* telling her friends.
But turn around and do the same thing to your friends? That's a breach of trust.
Willingly give criticism but not being able to take it
I'm a guy. I struggle to take criticism, but I also absolutely refuse to give criticism. I believe that's a more just thing to do than being all give and no take.
Most of the women in my life have simply never said they were sorry about anything. If they say something mean to me, and I get any type of emotion over it, they immediately get defensive and tell me I'm being too sensitive. Then flip it around on me, and I'm the bad guy.
Leaving hair stuck to the shower wall, lol. Ugh.
Everything my wife does is a gift from heaven. Everything I do is expected, and still not enough.
And I'm guessing you're full of gratitude for the odd crumb she tosses your way. She's got you right where she wants you. You're making all the effort in the relationship and she's making just enough to keep you on the hook so you'll always be there if/when she wants to use you.
They don't seem to credit 'men's work' as labor or something worth of gratitude. Like spending my day off getting her oil changed and tires rotated, all the maintenance and repairs inside and outside the house. It seems all the old 'women's work' needs to be split 50-50 now that they are working but if I spend 45 minutes shoveling the driveway there isn't any reduced duty for dishes or laundry, despite the machines doing most the work.
I've gotten tired of the massive disparity in gifts too.
I wake up and spend 20 minutes, everyday making my wife turkish coffee, make breakfast if she's in the mood, feed our cats, the army of neighbors hood strays, do the laundry, hang it outside to dry, collect and put it away which is mainly hers due to her 3 outfit changes a day, spend 10 /12/14 hours working that day, WALK to the store to buy food for dinner, which i prepare for her and i, AND her mother and sister, then do the dishes and put away leftovers, before hauling 80 pounds of trash a block to the dumpster on my way to run errands for my mother....and when i get home to find she's brought another day to a close with her unorganized disaster area spread all over the floor, obstructing access to everything "she's just soo exhausted. Why don't i ever do anything to help her?" Somehow i manage to keep my stuff organized, out of the way and i'm the a*****e for not wanting to have to wade through her mess to get at it.
Being too indirect in communication and passive in relationships.
Taking relationship advice from unhappy or chronically single women.
Counterpoint: maybe chronically single women have really good boundaries and don't settle. I'd take their advice any day.
Workplace bullying. Most bullies I've come across have been women who think they're justified simply because they dislike someone. Social exclusion, passive aggression, reputational destruction, pettiness, and so on. One of the worst examples I've seen was against a young woman who was shy and had a body most women would [die] for (this is relevant). Within the first week, half of the women in the office were gossiping about how the new girl was "weird" and "rude" because she was shy and focused on her work. Then they started mocking her for "showing off her tits and a**e" which translates as she dared to have a great body and wear clothes that fit her. She was seen being friendly with a male colleague who was everybody's friend, so that instantly meant she was a manipulative flirt. "She knows exactly what she's doing." She was let go at the end of her probation because too many people said she was difficult to work with and she didn't fit in. I'm certain she would've been fine if she was less attractive.
I am the manager of a almost complete female team, 23 women and only two men..... I had some terrible issues this kind of sort in the beginning
I've never had a girlfriend admit they were wrong. And it's the exact thing they have said about men for decades.
I found with last relationships girls say they were always in a relationship or two where they thought if they slept with the guy the guy would love them more. Don't do that. If you think a guy will like or love you more if you sleep with him he's not into you and only wants to sleep with you. Once he gets what he wants he's gone. He might stay for a few more screws but he will ultimately leave. Some women also think if I just do more for him and love him more he will change. Nope again. You shouldn't have to do that.
1. Imbalance of homework because “Mens work” still exists and “women’s work” is sexist. I do all serious DIY and repair jobs, I build things that need to be built for the home, I do dirty work like cleaning the tons of hair out the shower (99% not mine) I arrange and manage tradesmen in the home, and I still feel like I do the dishes and clean more.
2. Indecisiveness
3. Her being upset = my problem, me being upset = my problem, that in turn causes her to be upset which is then also my problem. Basically I’m not allowed to be upset or angry, it’s not valid, and I need to fix myself.
I love my partner immensely but these three things get to me, I’ve communicated all of them and we make progress. I’m certainly not perfect either! I do feel like these are partly cultural not personal problems to solve though.
Testing. Asking or doing something just to see what choice I make. < my fiance answered. Both of his ex girlfriends did that ALOT. He told me about it before we dated so I've always tried to not ever do that.
I've never done that to my guy, seems like unnecessary cruel b******t to me, and a waste of time. If I want a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical scenario, I'll ask a hypothetical question - he'll answer that just as well and it's fun to think about What If scenarios together
Not being able to accept the truth about how men feel.
I cannot open up to someone who, upon hearing how something honestly makes me feel, is going to scream at me or hit me for it.
Aligning the truth to their emotions. They will reject facts as the truth because it doesn't match their feelings, which is "their truth"
Basically as their feelings change. The truth changes.
And the old gem that they're just being honest about their feelings, while yours are selfish and manipulative.
Siding with other women by default whenever there's a dispute between a man and a woman. I honestly just don't get it and I've stopped trying to understand why. It could be social and it could be biological for all I know. But women have this incredible tendency to just herd towards other women and become world champion contortionists with how far they bend over backwards to excuse s****y behavior in other women. * When I was 19, I had my first date set up. It was a woman in my class, a simple coffee. I got stood up completely. Waited in front of the shop like an idiot for an hour. I got home and opened up to my sister about it, who told me "Well she doesn't owe you anything." Like, what? We agreed to be there. When I told her as much "Well maybe she was afraid to say 'No' to you." Later that week at our next class I asked if something had happened, to which she responded "I was sooo tired!" When I told my sister? "See? There's your answer." * A long while back there was a post on the OKCupid subreddit about a woman saying a guy, at the start of their date, simply said to her "I'm sorry but you look very different from her picture." Women jumped in to call him an a*****e, a s**thead, and so on. He actually showed up to try and explain himself, but they then jumped down his throat. Only when he showed receipts about her admitting the picture on her profile was four years and 75 pounds ago did he *finally* get a few women begrudgingly agreeing with him that maybe she should have used a more recent picture. * When I was 24, I met my at-the-time girlfriend's group of friends. After they grilled me on a bunch of stuff, one of them started talking about how her boyfriend dumped her because she was seeing another guy on the side. Everyone in the group jumped to her defense with "Well I don't see a ring on your finger!" and "Didn't he only see you like twice a month?" Like, cheating on somebody is indisputably s****y behavior, but there they sat for the next 30 minutes coming up with every excuse in the book. Like, even on advice communities like AITA, people have swapped the gender on identical stories multiple times, finding that people (especially women) are much easier on women for the same behavior. Men do it too, but women's in-group biases have been measured to be four times stronger than men's. Simply, women will overwhelmingly stand behind a s****y woman. It drives me nuts because once you realize it, you can see it everywhere.
I can already see this happening in the comment sections of the posts on this very article. Male perspective explains an issue they had with a woman, comment section tries to relativate immediately why the woman still wasn't an a-sshole. The male version of this article we had last week didn't have that, I just wonder why
I don’t know if a lot of women have this habit, but I know a few cases, the weaponization of sex. Some of my buddies wives or girlfriends will use sex as a weapon in order to coerce certain behaviour.
That's mostly something in the older generations from what I see, and it's really weird. The whole thing should be passion, not obligation and force
Weaponizing breakup, well maybe not all women.
But when a girl does that to me even if she doesn't mean it, I take it very seriously. U want to give up on the relationship just like that? Fine.
Don't use or threaten with the word breakup if you don't mean it, for both ways. Breakup should be the last resort if anything.
Double standards. How something can be okay for them to do but is a deal breaker if the guy does it.
Expect the man to respect her boundaries and provide her with all her needs (emotional, physical, etc.) but absolutely refuse to reciprocate. THEN overreact and turn everything around on the man when he calls her out on her s**t or asks her to meet his needs or respect his boundaries. F*****g every relationship I've ever had. I'm not bitter....
Giving unsolicited advice to their husband. For example giving unsolicited tree trimming advice to your husband this past weekend while standing out on the deck (that your husband built). This is just an example of course.
Lack of accountability Blame men when no men are involved Believe emotions to be more important than factual events
No this pisses me off. The fact that men actually truly believe that they do things with logic more than emotion is simply untrue. And there is not nearly enough space here on BP for me to give all of the many examples that clearly demonstrate men are just as, if not more so emotional than women are. And if you get angry at this without even looking into it, then my point is further proven. There is a reason that the majority of Darwin Award winners are male.
Going to the garden center, coming home with a bunch of seedlings,plants and then abandoning them once they get home to die slow painful deaths... unplanted and forgotten.
Hmm... you're not referring to "women". You're talking about one specific woman. And a very bad at gardening, as it seems.
Minimizing the struggles men have because women have it worse.
this one really gets me like there will be a post about men's issues and there will always be some women who will completely disregard the whole thing because women have it worse problems suffered by one person doesnt somehow lessen more serious problems
The classic two-face attitude. To each other and to other men too.
I have worked with men and with women… And I have observed that the backbiting is way worse with the women
Disrespecting their man in public
Eh, "disrespecting their man"? Everybody seems to be disrespectful to everybody else nowadays. I just can't stand that "women should respect their husbands"-stuff. Everybody should treat each other with respect.
Speaking negatively of men all at once. You speak truth to reality.
The irony of saying this on a thread entirely devoted to lumping all women under one umbrella is astonishing.
No self awareness despite claiming they are so self aware and mindful of their actions and others feelings..
They are not one bit.
Not properly disposing of their feminine products in public/other people's bathrooms 🤮
Talking too much about money/desired lifestyle within the first couple of dates, even on your profile. A lot of men don’t want to be seen as an ATM with a p***s, and those that don’t mind that are more likely to see women as disposable, so it really exposes them to a potential lose/lose situation.
Absolutely, yes, of course check that your values align but be attracted to a man for the person he is, not because of what you think you can get out of him!
Addiction to social media, like IG.
Millions of them can't go a single day without at least 4-5 updates on their story.
Assuming they're right about everything, allowing themselves to stay delusional about everything in order to stay right, mindlessly supporting each other in being wrong so they don't have to feel bad about it.
Twenty five, thirty years ago, yeah this would be something you could attribute largely to women...but this has become more of a cultural issue than a gendered one. Everyone has their little group, with their special little hats, and they sit safe in secure in their nice little bubbles agreeing with everything each other says. This has always been the case, but the internet has amplified it to idiotic levels.
Gossiping and judging other women when they should be supportive and helpful
Mm, to a degree. However, speaking as a woman, some women don't deserve support or help. Neither do some men. Being a douche is gender neutral.
Single mom syndrome. Meaning raising entitled kids with minimal consequences because they feel guilty about being a single mom…
“Oh hi, you’re single AND have 💰. Well I’m 22 and a single mom of 5. You can babysit and chauffeur the kids around, take me out with my friend and pay for everything, and pick up my utility bills. Oh, and to be completely transparent, I’m really not interested in you as a person at all. But perks are nice, right?”
Women seem to be dumb as hell when it comes to understanding the men they’re in love with. He cheated on you? Oh, I’ll give him another chance and he won’t do it again. He hit you? Oh I just said something that made him angry, I’ll need to watch what I say around him next time. He’s using you for your money? Oh he’s broke and doesn’t have a job right now, I don’t mind.
If you’re a woman reading this, please get a damn grip. Just because you’re in love with him, doesn’t mean he’s your end all be all. Just because you are able to love him unconditionally, doesn’t mean he will. I’m so tired of hearing my girl friends constantly complaining about the same s**t over the same guy treating ‘em like trash and them not knowing what to do. For the love of god, use your brain.
I feel like men need this advice as well. Took like twenty times for I finally kicked my wife out.
Passive Aggression
Expecting a chase, naw girl, you ain’t gonna match my energy then ✌🏽
Actively pursuing men they are not attracted to, then blaming them for it, cheating and treating them badly for not being good enough without the men having any idea why.
Having secret a boyfriend that they hide from their friends and family because they are not good enough, with the guy not having a clue.
Main character syndrome.
I don't think it's intentional but I see it so often I wonder if it's something new or I'm just starting to notice it.
"I don't want advice or logic or help, I just want to vent"
In regards to seeing a really beautiful woman with an average man: They scold the man and warn him about taking care of her and treating her nice, but they don't say the same thing to the beautiful woman. Like, I'd like to be treated nice too. What exactly have I done to be admonished like that? F**k that.
My cousin was an ugly bastard before he joined the army, then he got disfigured in a way that it isn't obvious that it's from an injury. His partner is an absolute stunner (with a VERY high paying job), he hears a lot of 'he must be loaded', and 'trophy wife' type comments, but in truth, he' just one of the best men to grace this earth with his presence and she saw it before anyone else.
From online mostly, forgetting that the reason they have so many bad experiences with men is because they date men. "The bar is so low for men!" etc... I'm not doubting that (seems to always be d**k pic o'clock online) but the bar is at least as low for women, even if it's sometimes in different ways. They would know that if they dated women. Ideally both sides should be able to come together and just agree that dating can indeed be incredibly (and sometimes distressingly) s**t. Anyone who has dated/relationshipped enough has genuine horror stories.
In real life, not sure I'd say "a lot of women" but a bit of a pattern of assuming empathy based on gender. Specifically from "men can't read signals" when often, women simply can't give good signals. "I played with my hair like, 50 times" Sorry, dude just thought you had lice.
Not sure if it's a generation thing or a country thing but a lot of modern discourse really does just seem like a load of bollocks.
Absolutely no accountability.
Smartphone crack addicts. I don’t date social media junkies. A woman without an ig is manageable. A woman without ig and facebook is a unicorn
I agree. If someone is more into their social media than they are the actual relationship… I’ll just see myself out and leave you to your fantasy life.
Buying and or collecting things just because. Things that are never used, and were never intended to be used. Just things to have and take up space in garages, spare rooms, closets, etc ...
You never bought something because you liked it??? Everyone spends their money/collects something, tools, t-shirts, games, figurines, rocks, stamps, memorabilia. For me it's new food. 'Ooo, Dominos have a new pizza, I'll try that!' I don't even like Dominos! I'm not even hungry!
Talking too damn much and giving out information no one asked for
Leaving their hair/makeup stuff everywhere in the washroom
Speaking as a bi guy, women absolutely cannot handle rejection in any form. If you want to see a s****y reaction, reject a woman.
Always making excuses or saying I’m not good enough , it’s always my fault is usually the typical response from most females when you confront them about anything . Women just own up to your faults and mistakes quit trying to make a production out of everything you get questioned on .
Suffered an extreme case: ex not only couldn’t take it when asked if I could comment and she said “yes” only later to still cry, get angry, and blame me for it. She also had a pattern of delivering critique my way over ideas and meaning I was not at all saying.
thinking they’re more attractive than they really are, having their friends affirm this false belief and then becoming delusional about it
I think this one's funny.
What do you want eat?
*I don't know*
Way too many true comments here. In my household, I am pretty much the cook and cleaner. I need a clean house, not so clean that it doesn’t look lived in or it looks like it’s staged, but my wife doesn’t clean up. And I don’t mean leaving a few dishes in the sink or a couple of towels on the floor. It’s horrible and causes more conflict than anything else.
Give her an ultimatum. I did that and it worked. Either you wash up, or call me to wash up, but we do not leave a mess. If you make a mess and do not clean it up, I will call you on it and point it out like you are five years old.
Complaining about feeling unwell in their bodies when they are overweight and then not following through with their diet. I have had so many female friends who are constantly making up excuses to eat treats regularly, like 2-3 times a day while they want to lose weight. I'm tired, I'm on my period, I'm just gonna eat a little bit, I'm gonna train harder in the gym etc. And then they are asking me why my diet is working while they can't see results even though they also train regularly.
Women have a harder time at losing weight in terms of visibility due to anatomical reasons. Women usually (not all of course) have a higher body fat percentage than men, mainly due to the hormone Estradiol
Entering a room or a store and standing right in the doorway.
Two magic words, super useful and handy, and work 95% of the time no problem, no questions asked "excuse me". I just changed your life didn't I ;).
Screaming/yelling when they're excited. Especially in combination with getting excited about even the smallest and most insignificant things. It's so obnoxious and immature.
Manipulation through tears Lying or omitting parts of the story Talking bad about other people behind their backs She regrets having casual sex and says she was abused
Women handle rejection *horribly* and other women enable it.
Apologizing too much at work or public
This may just be a few (million) ik a girl who has Autism and says sorry for every fcking thing. U push HER over "sorry" its honestly exhuasting.
Not drinking nearly enough water. Stay hydrated.
Constantly complaining about how the world is such a “dark scary lonely ugly place” like okay. What do you want me to do about it?
Thinking they understand men.
Swiping people on dating apps then leaving them hanging when they match.
Uhhhh No. people have the right to change their mind, change the circumstance, or maybe they got someone else in the meantime. Just cause someone said hey maybe intereseted in you doesn't give you a right to their f*****g life, or attention, or even acknowledgement you f*****g psycho. Your whats wrong with men.
I find it funny when the umpteenth man-bashing article comes out and a large amount of women pile on, but one article the other way and wow are there some defensive women.... I will say the same thing as I do on those articles: A lot of these things aren't specific to gender.
What rubs me about this is the title. Women are "female" but men are men. It's usually intended as an insult when used in this manner, and meant to dehumanize. I don't know how that trend started, but it's definitely an incel trope. Obviously we all do things to p**s each other off, but sometimes the way things are worded show how you view someone under the surface.

Once again, a post generalisation of what one sex 'reportedly' thinks of another sex. And not in a 'funny' way but toxic. Odd how I keep reading about how we're supposed to be more accepting, less 'hateful', strive for equality and yet time and time again we're polarised by sensationalistic rubbish like this. The hypocrisy of sites like this drips...
Oh for FFS.... Like my hubby never left his whiskers in the sink, or did anything gross? LOL, no. People as a species are kinda gross. Just is what it is.
Wow, downvoted in less than 15 minutes. A new record! I'm a feminist, and I'm gonna say it: People can be awful regardless of race, religion, gender, etc. For every negative men throw down about women, there's one women can throw down about men, and they're *often the same thing with slight variations in wording*. (Messy, selfish, uncommunicative, immature, etc.)

And yet, I've seen many men accepting all this kind of stuff, because she's beautiful.
Alright BP- we’ve had what women find creepy from men and what men don’t like in women. We’ve had what men find attractive in women… can the next be a positive build up please? Like what women admire in their men? Eg. How their eyes sparkle when they talk about their favourite topics/hobbies, how their husbands/boyfriends still seems to keep an almost boyish inquisitiveness and sense of adventure or my favourite how we love seeing them have happy and caring interactions with the elderly and children?
So many of these are either couples dynamics and most if not all have nothing to do with gender.
Some of these are absolutely toxic. Women are people, get it through your f*****g heads, that women are people.
We are. And there are examples of us being psychopaths towards others. Examples of women torturing children. We are not perfect. This doesn’t and can never justify being larger and stronger in general to control all women.

The current title at the time of my comment is "70 female habits that make mens blood boil". Bored Panda, if you even listen to your users: Please change this articles name. Using "female" in place of women while opting to keep "men" instead of changing it to male is a bit less than tasteful. A fish can be a female, a cow can be a female, but only a human can be a woman. And either way, it just doesn't make sense to use female and man in the same sentence. Makes you look pretty stupid.
What is it with these articles? Just before, we had the opposite with what men like. What will be next, what women do and don't like in two more posts? I think I see a pattern here! 😂
At least we have some balance now and not only articles that show the women's perspective. Progress, while slow, is still progress

This list is dumb and sexist. Lists that reverse it are also dumb. Come on BP!! Enough garbage!
So many of these are dividing. I don't mind these as much as the generation ones. Boomers hate when...Foods only Gen _____ likes. Boomer habits gen __ wish would disappear. I'd love to see some of these bringing us together. Things that Older generations did that newer generations wish would come back. Or..I love it when my spouse ____. Nothing wrong with whining light in problems if it's to help solve them. Not to only being us further apart.
I just have 2 things: don't get offended if i ask to split the check, and no, I'm not going to beat the s**t out of those guys just because they looked you funny.
I see that BoredPanda has moved away from bashing and stereotyping a certain country and has now moved to stereotyping and bashing men and women...hmmm...these are some sweeping generalisations, Adelaide.
I want to agree... but read the comments. A lot of women are spouting toxic c**p as well. When it's a man bashing article men are supposed to just chuckle and role with it... how is this not the same for women?

So women have been conditioned from birth to act in a particular way by men driven society and then those men are complaining about such behaviour or mental struggles it creates.
Kinda true. Just watch typical Hollywood-Movies. As I was becoming a teen girl I had no good example how relationships are meant to be. For some time I really fell into this toxic princess-knight-s**t ("A true love will be able to read your mind. If you found the one your brain will castrate itself and you'll never think about anybody else...." ). Love is sometimes hard work. It's the efoord you put in to aknowledge that you could't imagine this beloved person without the those traits that make your blood boil. Aknowledgeing that pain in the arsee you sometimes are to your partner. Patience, a lot of patience. Imho love is not a bed of roses. It's a bed of doubt, struggles, humour, forgiveness, shared memories and tears, lots of hugs and shared thoughts. It's all emotions that are shared and met with compassion. 🥰

Sadly, many of these things seem more like the OP's r just with horrible women vs these being an "every women" kind of thing. Some of them r legit, but many r a minority, and based on their experiences with their parter(s), past and present
Wow! Reading all these makes me realize that my husband and I truly are unique and so lucky to have each other. Absolutely none of these apply.
Every accusation a malme makes is really a confession. Just read over these. These are all male attributes that he is placing on women. And males are always the biggest gossips & liars. Two weak & whiney to even give real examples.
Damn, I came for the funny hair on the shower wall picture and got blasted with all sorts of dysfunction!! Makes me feel even more awesome about my wife and our relationship!! I've definitely had relationships like those in the past, but my wife and I communicate, share the work, take care of each other's needs.
The women who do these things keep doing them because they know they can get away with it. With a lot of men, their primal needs prevent them from putting their foot down when it comes to stuff like this. If it's truly annoying, bring it up with them, hash it out, or just leave -- and don't be stymied by the fact that doing so may mean the end of the relationship. This goes for men or women. Just don't put up with any games... and also don't just grumble and be annoyed by anything your SO does (rather than talking to them about it).
Believing that anything that's more associated with men than with women is inherently invalid.
I found the 70 topics split evenly 35/35 between true and false.

Load More Replies... The current title at the time of my comment is "70 female habits that make mens blood boil". Bored Panda, if you even listen to your users: Please change this articles name. Using "female" in place of women while opting to keep "men" instead of changing it to male is a bit less than tasteful. A fish can be a female, a cow can be a female, but only a human can be a woman. And either way, it just doesn't make sense to use female and man in the same sentence. Makes you look pretty stupid.
What is it with these articles? Just before, we had the opposite with what men like. What will be next, what women do and don't like in two more posts? I think I see a pattern here! 😂
At least we have some balance now and not only articles that show the women's perspective. Progress, while slow, is still progress
Load More Replies... As a queer woman the amount of harmful stereotypes against women and misyogynistic rhetoric in some of these comments is damn disturbing. I'd run the hell away from some of these men who sound like hate-filled incel.
Load More Replies... Almost none of these are female-exclusive, or even female-majority habits.
True, but there are numerous ones that keep showing up about men, so they do this...
Load More Replies... This list is dumb and sexist. Lists that reverse it are also dumb. Come on BP!! Enough garbage!
So many of these are dividing. I don't mind these as much as the generation ones. Boomers hate when...Foods only Gen _____ likes. Boomer habits gen __ wish would disappear. I'd love to see some of these bringing us together. Things that Older generations did that newer generations wish would come back. Or..I love it when my spouse ____. Nothing wrong with whining light in problems if it's to help solve them. Not to only being us further apart.
I just have 2 things: don't get offended if i ask to split the check, and no, I'm not going to beat the s**t out of those guys just because they looked you funny.
I see that BoredPanda has moved away from bashing and stereotyping a certain country and has now moved to stereotyping and bashing men and women...hmmm...these are some sweeping generalisations, Adelaide.
I want to agree... but read the comments. A lot of women are spouting toxic c**p as well. When it's a man bashing article men are supposed to just chuckle and role with it... how is this not the same for women?
Load More Replies... So women have been conditioned from birth to act in a particular way by men driven society and then those men are complaining about such behaviour or mental struggles it creates.
Kinda true. Just watch typical Hollywood-Movies. As I was becoming a teen girl I had no good example how relationships are meant to be. For some time I really fell into this toxic princess-knight-s**t ("A true love will be able to read your mind. If you found the one your brain will castrate itself and you'll never think about anybody else...." ). Love is sometimes hard work. It's the efoord you put in to aknowledge that you could't imagine this beloved person without the those traits that make your blood boil. Aknowledgeing that pain in the arsee you sometimes are to your partner. Patience, a lot of patience. Imho love is not a bed of roses. It's a bed of doubt, struggles, humour, forgiveness, shared memories and tears, lots of hugs and shared thoughts. It's all emotions that are shared and met with compassion. 🥰
Load More Replies... Sadly, many of these things seem more like the OP's r just with horrible women vs these being an "every women" kind of thing. Some of them r legit, but many r a minority, and based on their experiences with their parter(s), past and present
Wow! Reading all these makes me realize that my husband and I truly are unique and so lucky to have each other. Absolutely none of these apply.
Every accusation a malme makes is really a confession. Just read over these. These are all male attributes that he is placing on women. And males are always the biggest gossips & liars. Two weak & whiney to even give real examples.
Damn, I came for the funny hair on the shower wall picture and got blasted with all sorts of dysfunction!! Makes me feel even more awesome about my wife and our relationship!! I've definitely had relationships like those in the past, but my wife and I communicate, share the work, take care of each other's needs.
The women who do these things keep doing them because they know they can get away with it. With a lot of men, their primal needs prevent them from putting their foot down when it comes to stuff like this. If it's truly annoying, bring it up with them, hash it out, or just leave -- and don't be stymied by the fact that doing so may mean the end of the relationship. This goes for men or women. Just don't put up with any games... and also don't just grumble and be annoyed by anything your SO does (rather than talking to them about it).
Believing that anything that's more associated with men than with women is inherently invalid.
I found the 70 topics split evenly 35/35 between true and false.
