Why do a lot of women do this...?

Post Reply New Topic

In my last relationship, after we had been together for about 3 years, she mentioned that she wanted to wait another 5 years before marriage/sex.

Who waits 8 years for that?

Also, last time she visited me in Texas (the relationship was long-distance), she wanted to be in control and have everything her way.

I said this another post but people just got annoyed i can't find a link to my op.

Cheers, to the OP! Alot of women get carried away with these things, and don't realize that they're being a pain in the ass. Most aren't doing it intentionally though, so it's not a huge issue, as long as their willing to cut back a little.


Women, take note --->Guys need 'X' amount of space or we go crazy and act like jerks.

I think that its obvious that men and women are different. The TC didn't say that each and every woman had all of those behaviors but its true, you could probably find those behaviors more commonly in women than in men. Men have their flaws too and they are just as bad in some cases, so I don't see what the big deal is that women might generally be more prone to certain behaviors aspects, even if they're negative. Guys have them as well.

I mean, are we going to start saying this about the creative/positive differences between genders as well? "Oh every guy I meet flips his hair" Um, no chances are they don't. Men and women are made differently, have different levels of hormones and different chromosomes that cause them to develop physically and emotionally different.

Are there exceptions? Obviously. Is any gender weaker or inferior? Imo, not at all. Shoot, maybe guys are if only because they're more prone to learning disabilities.

Once, I had a colleague (woman) who never learnt to do a proper coffee. On purpose.
I think she found it humiliating to have to serve it in meetings to all those important persons.
For me, it was different: having worked a lot in bars, restaurants and all... well, I didn't care much about that.
Even if I understood her point of view very well.

We were both executive secretaries at that time.

And also, working in another company, with another executive secretary, this one found it humiliating that I was the one to be asked to prepare coffees and teas, to bring wines, waters and fruit juices in the meetings rooms so...

Pfff

If either spouse busts their butt at a construction sight or wears their brain over 14 hours of office accounting, they diserve rest not another chew out or reminder that life is all work. A person's brain can tire a person every bit as the muscles can.

I know why women do it: because they can. The two waves of feminism, in the 70's and in the 90's, effectively stripped men of all their power in the home. (The movements in the late 19th century, like women's right to vote, did not have such an effect; if anything, they made society better.) While in the past, such as in the "Leave it to Beaver" era, men could have their say and give a proper response to what the OP described. Not anymore. Now women can nag, nitpick, insult, and yell at their husbands/boyfriends, and men have little choice but to sit quietly and take it. Watch any sitcom, and the pattern is the same everywhere; and don't tell me "it's just fiction", because the idea to write it had to have come from somewhere. And it seems to be getting worse and worse. I'll be in a cemetery by the time men become nothing more than breeding instruments for women, but I can't help but worry for my future sons. Heck, they already created synthetic sperm from an egg cell.

Don't get me wrong. I'm more than sure that originally, feminism had great ideals in mind about equalizing society. But it took a small group of highly charismatic but aggressive individuals to completely twist it out of context and give it a bad name. It's things like this that make me glad I'm not going to live forever, because our society is not getting any better.

OP, you're really awesome; I'd like to shake your hand. You seem to be the type of woman who takes equal rights and responsibilities. There needs to be more people like you. If WP had a rep point system, I'd give you a lot of points.

Probably the reasons why I'm single; I'm afraid of women described by the thread starter. And 2) NO woman is going to ever change me! If I want to change, I will do the changing upon my will. If you women out there don't like that, there are 3 billion other males that you can try to change.
