Questions for the Men

[Limlim]

Are most men able to take compliments or not ? OR does it depend on on the type of compliment? Like if you are told you are sweet and sensitive, do you dismiss it?

Sweet and sensitive... Yeaaah, never actually had this one come up yet. I wonder why??

Guys are simple... women are not simple and they always assume that men must be just as complicated as they are, only way more mysterious… ~ Dave Berry

What is a complicated woman? Better yet does it annoy to hear or read such on how complicated either gender can be …

 

[Edward W]

Each gender has slightly different ways of thinking about things, since we can only think how we are 'programmed' to, the way the other sex thinks will always seem odd and complicated.

Yeah it does annoy me a bit, as I'm 100x more complicated and bitchy and mood-swingy than any girl I know

Yaya, talking in general, exceptions to the rule etc.

The way I see it - Boring people are typical men and typical women, the more interesting people are humans.

A complicated woman? That's a redundancy.

It doesn't annoy me to hear or read how complicated women are - I don't know why it would. If women were as simple as men, life would be less...interesting.

Hey, I would love to laze around on the couch, with my hand down my panties, a Snickers bar in one hand, and the remote in the other...

Unfortunately, my complications as a woman includes cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning up. So as much as I would love to be as simple as a man, I can't.

Goes both ways. :club:

Yeah.. sometimes I wonder why or how can men and women ever properly get along because of how each is wired differently. I guess this is where patience, compromise and love comes to gel them together.

I think a lot of issues between couples stem a lot from the fact that they don't understand that they cannot understand their SO because they are wired differently from each other and that only means they shouldn't expect them to understand or change, but at least be considerate, compassionate and supportive about each other's differences.

Honestly, I don't think I made sense there. But you know what I mean.

I am all for diversity and differences in people. Makes everyone interesting, and it makes the experience of getting to know them all the more special. Not to mention the journey of discovering one's own self in the process of accepting another's differences.

Could not agree more +1

Missing the point. Don't turn this into "who does the work around the house." This seems to be a different understanding of the concept, not what makes life complicated (i.e. work) but who as a gender has a tendency to be concerned about more. But while we're on subject, with a simple duster like Swiffer you could get the house clean enough. Beyond that (mopping/vacuuming), nobody notices, meaning you are wasting effort. Ditto for laundry, the guy can do his own laundry or he can wear the same clothes for a week, and you can take turns cooking or at least get him to cook days when he doesn't work.

Complicated as in, wants/needs in order to be happy. Women seem to desire more things, while men (by reputation anyway, i think it's crap), only need beer, meat, and sex to be happy.

 

[kamya]

Mopping does do a lot and is really noticeable though. :O

There's a lot of other stuff too. Like taking out garbage, bathrooms and cleaning the kitchen (wiping off the counters is not enough). Also a lot of other random "cleaning" things that need to be done. Gutters cleaned out, show shoveled, car washing, garage cleaning, replacing heat/cooling filters, and probably about 100 more small things that need to get done every so often.

If all you do is swiffer, and do your own laundry/dishes, you are either not doing your fair share, or your place is filthy because no one else does the other stuff.

 

[Edward W]

I do my share, I've cooked the last two nights, done the laundry, a little ironing, tidied up and washed the pots.

Maybe this will help the women: http://www.amazon.co.uk/womans-guide-complete-thoughts-men/dp/1461003806/

How long can you guys stand your woman with unplucked eyebrows, moustache, unwaxed hair?

 

[kamya]

As long as there is no unibrow, and as long as I don't feel like I'm kissing a man. As for the rest, I don't really care as long as it's clean.

 

[painter's radio]

I don't care about eyebrows tbh. Always thought plucking them was a bit ridiculous anyway, moreso than other parts of the body. I don't really care about hair elsewhere either tbh, though of course would prefer it if my partner was less hairy than me, although it's just preference and do think it's messed up how women are expected to be. It's not going to gross me out if you don't shave your legs for a few days/whatever.

 

[perfanoff]

Yeah, plucking eyebrows.. Terrible. Might as well just convert to a blow-up doll. I'd rather have a woman with a bit more eyebrows than perfect than to have artificial-looking eyebrows.

 

[Limlim]

Yeah I never really got the whole eyebrow thing. I'm not even sure why women do it.

Mustache though... Seriously just pick up a razor and make it part of your morning routine. If I can do it, you can do it. Who cares if it comes in appearing thicker? Just shave it off again if it does.

As for waxing "Other" areas... That depends on if she's a red head or not. :shy:

 

[painter's radio]

Fire crotch! Curtains matching the drapes etc. Not sure which way you were saying that though, lim. A fan/not a fan of the ginger minge?

 

[Limlim]

I may enjoy myself a nice collection of fire hair >.>

I was being completely sarcastic. Male or female, young or old, rich or poor, I believe I would be the same way regardless. With the kind of mother I have, the aunt I have, and the grandmother I had, cleaning is a must. It has more to do with how I was raised rather than the "duties" I may have as a woman.
