8 Things that Annoy her! Are you kidding?
Ok, so now I have reached a new low!
I was cruising the net while waiting for my SEC system to warm up. What I happened to stumble across was an article about what makes women mad. Now I know a lot of this from the start, don’t cheat, clean up your stuff, and never ever say a different name while in bed with your wife. But this article is the COSMO “how to get a man to cheat on,” of the internet. I am not surprised to see that on MSN, I mean they really don’t have anything else to report objectively, so they might as well give a job to some mediocre english major in college.
Accourding to Lisa Jones of Men’s Health (the author of the MSN rant,) her number one annoyance with her boyfriend/unsuspecting victim is “not picking up after himself.” Now I stated that to begin with, women want men to pick up their crap and put it in the dirty close or whatever, but Lisa seems to have found a winner. She states that she does not mind that her victim leaves a shirt here or a shoe there, what bothers her is that he leaves a pile of chewed up sunflower seeds on the counter.
If this is as bad as she claims maybe she should find a man who was not raised in a barn. OR . . . She has over played something and is trying to make things sound worse than it really is. Most likely she was nagging her victim one night while at dinner (probably in front of his friends in hopes to embarrass him,) and he said, “Hey Lisa, it was just one shoe in the living room, it wasn’t like I dropped chewed up sunflower seeds on the counter and left them there.” Lisa then most likely thought, “Damn he is right, when I write about this I am going to make him sound like a pig, that will teach him.” Unfortunately for her, it doesn’t, it just makes her sound like she has horrible taste in men, and has no problem bedding those who have hygiene problems.

On this one she complains that men nag her about how much money she spends on a purse or shoes. She goes on to say that the man should complement the purchase and then say, “I guess dinner is on me tonight!” Hell no, that is like giving candy to a toddler because she just colored on the wall. “Hey baby I am going to pay for dinner because you can’t control your urges and you have just spent your spare change on a purse!” Hell NO! The reason the guy says something is because he is realizing that she is a crazy spend-aholic and he is hinting at her to get help at a local 12 step program.
Don’t get me wrong, if she saved up and was waiting to make this purchase, then she is good to go, and any victim is lucky to have her as a girlfriend, but I don’t think this is the case. I have a close friend that has the same problem. She spends and buys because it is such a great deal or it is on sale. Her husband is a good guy and is close to being a financial wizard. I feel bad for him, he saves and saves to keep the family out of debt, and my friend spends because she knows that he is saving. For awhile he drove a 15 year old Julopi because it was free, while she drove a nice new SUV. I know that she came from humble beginings and could not buy the things she wanted when she was younger, but out of control is out of control.
Annoyance #3
Lisa now complains that her victim is talking to her as if she is one of the guys. This says a couple of things. First her victim really likes her and wants her to know that she means something to him, and second he is comfortable discussing daily events with her. She is so lost that she doesn’t know that the victim is trying to impress her.
One of the things that I got a lot while dating is that I did not share with my girlfriend. They had problems that I didn’t discuss my life with them, or that I didn’t talk very much and that they would feel out of place. Yet here is a guy who is committing himself to her, and she is getting mad that he is not talking about her.
In my family we have a saying: “Women hint. Men say what they mean.” So here is this guy saying, “Hey Lisa-honey-poo, I can bench 300 pounds.” Which is to say, “Hey Lisa I am strong, be impressed.” What Lisa hears is, “Lisa -BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH,” and is wondering when he is going to shut up so she can tell him what she ate today. Here is a hint, when your man is talking, listen, he is telling you how much he likes you.
ANNOYANCE #4
Men speak of the future vaguely.
I can’t help it, this one is just too easy. Of course this man is going to talk about the future vaguely! Lisa is a self centered, shop-aholic, nut job. This man is not sure he wants to shackle himself to woman who won’t stay with in her financial plan, or listen to what he is saying.
The reason that this man is talking about the future without including you in his plans is because he does not want you there. He is afraid that if he uses the all enclusive “we,” when he talks about the future, you will never leave. He will be fourty, living in the Suburbs, with a wife and an few children, and Lisa will show up at his door, (with a new exepensive hand bag,) asking him why he hasn’t called in the last ten years.
