WHAT MEN FIND EXTREMELY STUPID ABOUT US
I recently just asked him. What he finds the most annoying about me. Or rather, if he could make a top 3 of it. I mean, maybe they are all points that I am not aware of and that I can still change. He didn't hesitate for a second. “Your phone.” “My phone at number 1??”, I stammered. “Yes, the fact that that iPhone is glued to your hand 24/7 “I can't believe it,” I said. “A phone you say? So that’s not a palm accessory at all!! Totally three times crap. I'm going back to the store.” That would surely be number 2 for him. My smart-ass remarks. Let’s finish the list with whining about diet and behold: the top 3 sees the light of day. You should know: certain female behaviors are just really annoying to men. I just throw it in the group at the office and within no time half of the Amayzers are shouting what 'that one man' really finds very annoying about her. Here they come:.”
“Dat meen je niet,” zei ik. “Een telefoon zeg je? Dus dat ís helemaal geen handpalmsieraad!! Helemaal drie keer kut. Ik ga terug naar de winkel.” Dat zou vast op nummer 2 staan bij hem. Mijn bijdehante rotopmerkingen. Toppen we het lijstje af met gezeik over dieet en aanschouw: de top 3 ziet het levenslicht. Je moet weten: bepaalde vrouwelijke gedragingen vinden mannen gewoon écht heel irritant. Ik gooi het hier net even in de groep op kantoor en binnen no-time schreeuwt de helft van de Amayzers wat ‘dat ene manspersoon’ nou echt heel irri aan haar vindt. Komen ze:
Being too busy with Instagram
We all find it super fun and stuff, but she doesn't. Especially when food needs to be photographed, he almost wants to strangle you.
Our WhatsApp behavior
And especially the fuss about: ‘But she has already read it because I see blue ticks crying crying boohoo.’ GET OVER IT.
“Yes, the fact that that iPhone is glued to your hand 24/7.”
That shopping addiction
Ooh, actually this one also belongs in the top three. The cocktail of grumpiness that sometimes washes over me when I come home with clothes that I don’t necessarily ‘need’ is Not. To. Do.
Talking too much about work
It's nice that you're proud of what you do and that you can passionately chat about it with a glass of white on the couch. I do that often enough too. But we women have a tendency to lay half the workday on the table. Including colleague X who finally wore the dotted Zara blouse she had been looking for soooo long and is now sold out, and colleague Y who – SHUT UP.
Insecurity
Men really find that very stupid. Don’t want to leave the house without makeup? Annoying. Insecure at the office? Pffff. In love? Exhausting. And actually unnecessary.
‘Whining’
A man sees almost everything a woman wants to change about him or the relationship as whining. So if you bring up something you want to change about him, he will see it as WHINING. Just so you know.
Gossiping too much about other women
Women don’t think that’s cool either, by the way. I mean, everyone gossips sometimes, but talking badly about friend X all night on the couch, and then being nice to her face? Nope, he can't stand that. And we actually understand that too.
If we want to be the starfish in bed
Just read this. Occasionally that’s fine, but being the starfish as a standard? They really find that super crap.
Cursing too much
Not everything is ‘FAAAAAKING COOL’. A bit here and there: okay, but too often is underdeveloped and stupid. Cursing with diseases even more so.
Whining about diets
“One moment she yells at me that I need to help her and hit chocolate out of her hands more often, and the next moment I try to say something about it carefully and she goes completely loco,” said the lover of a good friend.
OKAY OKAY I GET IT MEN. SOMETIMES WE ARE ALSO DEAD EXHAUSTING.
