Pet Peeves

Ladies, what are your biggest pet peeves when it comes to guys? My biggest pet peeve when it comes to women is double standards! But hey, thats just me.

They say that they love you the way you are... then they proceed to try to change you.
... I know, men get that too!

Guys that are all into you in the beginning and make you fall for them and then when you have sex with them they all of a sudden don't want a commitment.

Mine is how you don't see a person's true colors until after you've already invested too much into the relationship.

When they date you for a while, then turn around and say, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be in a relationship, move on, just not feeling it"....it's cruel and emotionally scarring.

when a man wants credit for how hard he works at his job, but when you want credit for raising his child while carrying his other child in your belly and caring for his home, he says "but that's your job!".

and men that say women are the ones who do certain things (such as talking non-stop) when truly men do it just as much if not more, lol.

Waiting until you walk down the isle to show who they really are. Before the wedding the fellow has you believing he is one person, after, he doesnt really care what you think, he no longer has to impress, that guy you thought liked to camp and fish and travel has turned into a couch potato every single time he aint workin or out with the fellows,  until you threaten to leave and then that pre married guy appears again. Like a yo yo.....

The way guys believe it's ok to approach you on the street, while your minding my own business, with whistles and dirty, degrading, inappropriate comments only to get offended and angry when you turn and tell them to pis* off and get a life......I mean when will these loosers realise how much of a total tosspot they are, and what on earth gives them the right to speak to another human being like that....stupid primates

When sports is on TV, you talk to him and he is hypnotized by the TV and doesn't answer you. It make you feel like sports are more important than what you have to say...it's rude. AND laying down watching sports and ask you at so many different moment, "can you get me a beer when the refrid is right there, the remote which is on the table, being way too comfortable and barking orders as he watches TV.

When he does you a favor and later on throw it at your face with a smile.

Sacracstic jokes or jokes in public that he only understands then laughs and expects you to take a joke, when you are the butt of his joke. He thinks is just in fun, when it reality, it could hurt. turn off.

We are suppose to be mind readers and know what they want.

Not being in the mood (tired or just not in the mood) and giving you attitude for days (we were just tired that's all).

Checking out other women in front of you (we are soooo on to this behavior). What men don't realize is that it could be very damaging to the relationship when trust is broke just by a glance or look...big turn off (big pet peeve).


I'm just warming up :)  Judy

Oh that reminds me . . . when they ask you to entertain their boss and you bust your behind to get ready with no help. . . and have everything ready to go so you slip upstairs to take a quick shower before they arrive ---- and by the time you've gotten downstairs -----  they have helped themselves to the appetizers (and the boss hasn't even arrived yet!).  Then when the boss and wife leave, super tired spouse goes to bed while you get to clean up.  Not that this really happened or anything . . . lol

lol special! Totally!!! also applies to husband's friends....

when your man wants you to let him relax when he gets home but whines when you want him to watch the toddler so YOU can relax (god forbid) after spending the last 24 hours watching the child without a break. NEWS FLASH!!!You're just as much her parent as I am....that's how it works!!!

WHEN MEN ARE SICK AND THEY WHINE LIKE BABIES AND WANT SYMPATHY, BUT DON'T BAT AN EYELASH WHEN YOU SPEND HALF AN HOUR THROWING UP WHILE PREGNANT...."but you're pregnant, I'm SICK"....ooooooooooo want to kill.

Ashelen, totally.  When they just get up and go to the room to take a nap without asking if you would mind watching the child.  Like, hello, now I'm a babysitter as well....lol.

re: Judy.   The "looking at other women" thing is the biggest complaint my wife has about me...what I can't explain is why we do it?  We can't throw them on the ground right there, and it's usually just a quick glance..my wife is blind in one eye and has trouble seeing out of the other, but she doesn't miss a thing....I still hear about me supposedly staring at other women that supposedly took placec nearly 11 years ago on our honeymoon in the Bahamas!!  I jump up and down and roll on the floor and froth at the mouth swearing that was not what I was doing but it's of no use...

But I admit to having the habit, though I have improved....I just have to remember to remove the blinders when we get back in the car

When men say they do not judge upon first impressions based upon appearances when clearly, they're looking you all up & down & if you're not sexy, attractive or cute then, they just don't even want to be bothered with you. Yet, that is clearly a LIE initially.

Or when men say they're nice, generous, genuine, kind, caring & courteous but...they're actions in your dating situations analyze clearly the total opposite.

Or when men are the perpetrators of domestic violence victims. Total disrespect & cruelty. Disgusting.

Finally, when men state they do not go to T & A bars w/ "the boys" b/c they feel it "disrespects" women yet, they hoot & hollar at all types of mediums that clearly demonstrate the same. Disgusting...vile.

the passing gas...on me...in the middle of the night...i HATE it. so to retaliate....i do it right back. lol. he claims i'm disgusting but it's completely okay for him to do it because he's a man. lolol.

It doesn't bother me that much. the only time I get pissy is when I'm pregnant and trying to eat and he rips a stinky one....because my gag reflex kicks in instantly and I'm always like "seriously??? you couldn't leave the room for that???" although with the way my husband stinks, he could leave the building and I would still be overwhelmed with stench :(.

big pet peeve: Men excusing their behavior as "I'm a guy, I can't help it." Alright well if that's the case I'll just let my female hormones run roughshod over you every time I feel the urge, and it's because "i'm a girl, I can't help it." We'll see how long that excuse prevails. You are a human being! We're past the monkey stage, which means you are in control of your body and your actions. Obviously there are exceptions, but for the majority of "Honey I just can't help it"s ...yes, you can help it. And will before I send you to sleep in the doghouse for peeing outside again. Or maybe I should just skin down my trousers and pee right next to him. "Honey, don't do that!!" "why? If you can do it, I can do it."

i say go down to the skivies and pee next too him. if he's embarrassed or complains let him know...that's how you feel. lol.

what's even worse about the passing gas thing...he blames the dog or the cat. or the "ducks" flying overhead. it's the middle of winter. there are no ducks. ohhh or the barking spiders. lol. i love it when he says "those d*mn barking spiders." his stench is so bad it burns my eyes. he laughs...i get up and leave the room. he gets mad because i won't bask in his aroma.

Interesting commets i read here. For the record i would never "pass gas" infront of a girl, that be a turn off for her i belive. I dont know why alot of guys do that with their g/f's. My roomates b/f does that alot around her, even left a message on her cell phone, him "tooting it" u can hear it loud and clear,lol and he said "o im sure you heard that"  But she digs him. Some people out there, i will never understand.

Julie- I get the picture about the approach thing.. But i been given advice that women prefer to be approached... So i am still a little fuzzy on what you meant? Is approaching women in a certain setting be ok? Or whats a good way to do it?
