I found this article about Things Women Hate About Men


The author - Meenakshi Shankar - has raised some questions here, which I - on behalf of my gender - will take a dig at:


.1. Ask you out, start a relationship with you, then ponder to their guy friends, "I'm not sure if she is my type!

There is always the "newness" element involved when we ask you out and start a relationship with you. But, over the course of time, we understand that you may/not have the "things" that we are looking for in our potential life partner. These "things" can be anything ranging from stuff like - "You don't give us breathing space" to "You're too controlling" to "You don't make me feel as special as I want to feel" all the way to "You suck in bed!"

I'm sure girls wouldn't understand the logic behind this simple thing. So, I'm gonna try and put in words/ideas that you folks can understand.


Now, assume that you buy a new red dress. Something reaaaaaaaaally sexy. Initially, you're all excited about it. You wanna wear it at every possible opportunity. Wear it to every function and get together ... But, over a period of time - you realize that this is probably not the "best fit" for you and that you have "other options" or you get "plain bored" with it.

Well ... I hope the message is loooooooooooud and clear now Sister!!!



.2. Think that there is something wrong about gay men, but lesbians they totally support

Gay Men is yucky ... Besides - If we were cool with it - you'd want us to/some guy to stick his dick into our/his ass ... THE MERE THOUGHT OF IT HURTS A LOT!!!


But lesbians - now that's cool. And heck - you don't have to stick anything anywhere!!! You just sit back and enjoy the show. Besides - the way I see it - what difference does it make if a guys eats ya out or a girl???



.3. Male chauvinism! We fail to understand why men can stop and ask for direction till its 50 odd kms into the wrong direction?! It’s always been a mystery why they will not stop and ask for directions!

We KNOW our way. If we get lost (rarest of rarest scenarios) - It's because the landmarks have changed. Period!!!



.4. Tells everyone that you are smothering them and that they are annoyed that you are always around. But the very second you get off work or are out with your friends for a change, your cell phone starts ringing off the hook and he's saying , "When are coming over. I miss you. I love you. Come back!

It's our way of being romantic ...
(Pssssssst ... When we say we miss you or we love you - We REALLY mean it!)



.5. Temporary amnesia! They remember the names of football and cricketers from some odd country, their scores, their entire career track but ask them about birthday’s or anniversaries and the scores each player has made, but cannot for the life them remember birthdays, anniversaries and buying gifts. What kind selective memory is that?

In our defense, Sometimes we do forget the cricketers/footballers scores or sometimes - we even get it all mixed up. No harm ever came out of that!
But, if we ever mix up a birthdays or forget an anniversary - We're screwed!!!
Grrrrrrrrrrrr ...

Besides, dates are for historians and archaeologists - Not us!


.6. Oh, they nod their head with aplomb when the topic veers towards gender equality! They are all for it! But, when it comes to pitching in with household chores suddenly, gender equality is an alien lingo!

We wouldn't even dream of "stealing" what you ladies so proudly prize - THE HOME!

Besides, when was the last time you let the guy do the house hold chores according to his wishes?
"Not so much detergent" ... "The Dhaal needs a dash more of salt and a tad more of oil" ... "You missed a spot" ... "Dry the pants inside out" ... etc ... etc ... etc ...

If you guys want us to do stuff your way - why don't you just do it yourselves???
After all - It's not THAT difficult???


.7. They categorize women into two types a cool type and a marriageable type. They love to hang around with the hip and happening babes, but when it comes to tying the knot, it’s a virgin bride all the way through! As the saying rightly goes, You can go to a restaurant and look at the menu card, but its home- cooked meal that completes you. And our men, seem to follow that saying to the T.

I'll be very very very honest (read as point blank) here. We like dating cool types - because the are fun to hang out with and easy to bed. Period!
And it is for this same and very reason we shy away from marrying them.

This is how our smart male brain thinks:

"If it was so easy for me to get her into bed - another guy would be able to do so too. What if that happens after marriage? Divorce!!! But, if I divorce her - she'll leave with half my wealth ... Grrrrrrrrr ... She sleeps with someone else - and I end up having to pay her for it too .... No fucking way I'm gonna let that happen. Hmmmmmmm ... what do I do now? Isn't it better to marry someone else - who's not so "easy" ... Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh yesssssssss .... That's the perfect answer to this problem ... I need to find myself a "marriageable types" girl .... Simple!!!"


I hope that answers your question on why we prefer marriageable types girls (read as virgins!) v/s the cool types girls (read as easy lays!)



.8. An absolute control over the remote control! There has to be some kind of deep seated relation to this, but it’s yet to be unearthed.

It's not because we love the remote so much, but, it's because we know if we leave it lying around - you'll end up watching all those dreaded "Saas-Bahu" soaps, and we'll have to watch that crap as well!

Besides, watching stuff like Financial news, Stock Market, Sports, Music Videos is much better than watching the silly junk you folks fantasize!


.9. Strutting around like a peacock! Ugggh ... that’s a no no! Agreed that they are handy when it comes to fixing a loose wire or tightening the nuts and bolts, but constantly stroking their feathers on that count weighs us down.

Yeah right ... you expect us to do all the "risky" and "dangerous" work and not strut around, but you can make one good tasty "Chicken Tikka Masala" and boast about it to every one on the planet for as long as you live - and that's perfectly normal.

Hippocratic to the core!!!


.10. Not that there is anything wrong with looking (we also like to look!), but someone ought to teach the boys the fine art of looking! There is a very fine line between ogling and looking. And somehow, our boys think its all one and the same!

We believe in being honest and that's what we've been taught right from Day # 1. You girls on the other hand are all about stealth
(I prefer to call it Sly - but stealth will do for now!)


Okay ... Bullshit apart - we also know "how to" sneak a peek. And when it slips to ogling - it's because the chick is so damn hot!!!
(Come on ... Think about it ... When you see a good looking chick with big tits and a round ass - who the heck cares about decency and diplomacy!!!)
