While guys sure do have their list of faults, there are many things we do as girls that guys just can't stand. And while we hate being told to calm down, maybe we need to really chill on some of these annoying behaviors.
“Sometimes it’s just nice to stare into space and…”
Me zoning out isn’t me being bored with you. Sometimes it’s nice to just stare into space and not think or move. No stress. No responsibilities. Just starting off into the distance. Also, sometimes I look like im thinking. Its not a deep thought. Don’t assume I’m thinking of ways to leave you or other girls or stuff like that. The thought I’m in that seems so deep is really about who the heck came up with the idea of frying foods or how the heck the guy who invented banks got people to let him hold onto their money with the promise of he’d just put it in a different room and not touch it.
“Nothing drives me more crazy than…”
If you aren’t the one doing the work, I really don’t want your opinion on how I do it. Nothing drives me more crazy than “Well, why are you doing it this way, wouldn’t it be better if you did it that way?”. Look, don’t nag a guy when he has a hammer in his hand. If you want it done a certain way, you do it, otherwise trust that I am going to try my best, and leave me alone.
“Y’all need to stop caring what…”
Y’all need to stop caring what other women think of you. Men do not sit around complaining to their work buddies about Todd in accounting because Todd had a snide remark about Steve’s new pants…insinuating that Steve had gained some weight. If a coworker does not like you…then, SHE SIMPLY DOESN’T LIKE YOU. There are 7 Billion with a B people on this planet. Its impossible for everyone to like you the same as your good friends. I have a customer who hates my guts and I hate his guts. But we do business together. Neither of us make snide remarks or crap talk one another. We both acknowledge that we have clashing personalities and that if we just keep it cordial, we can both make money off each other.
“But for chrissake, can we just NOT…”
Scheduling things. Our calendar is literally full from now until October. Every weekend has the activities planned. Every day has errands to run scheduled in. On one level, yes, it makes some sense especially since we have 2 little kids. But for chrissake, can we just NOT have a plan for every day for the next 4 months!?! If I want to go out for drinks with my buddies, I certainly can’t do it without at least 3 weeks notice. Then add in all the discussions we have to have about the schedule and what is happening when and with whom. It’s exhausting and drives me crazy.
“Why do you care what one girl…”
That everyone thinks they are attractive. Girl, I love you and think you are gorgeous. I have demonstrated this many times over. Why do you care what that one girl who you work with thinks? You don’t even like her! Shouldn’t you trust the opinion of the person with whom you chose to be in a relationship more than the opinion of a random other person? I can’t understand why their opinion carries more weight than mine does.
“I think every girl I’ve ever known thinks they are…”
How you look without makeup. I’m not gonna lie, obviously hiding various minor imperfections makes you look nicer and if you’re going out somewhere nice or something then cool, but I think every girl I’ve ever known thinks they are literally HIDEOUS without it. You’re not.
“Sometimes I literally want to be alone and…”
Sometimes I literally want to be alone and play video games and be a hermit. I’m not getting with other girls or think you’re gross, I just don’t like socializing all the time even if it’s just us “hanging out” cause I don’t want the pressure of you being in the room and me not paying attention to you.
“Stop searching for…”
If we say something that has two meanings we always mean the good one. Stop searching for an insult that isn’t there.
“Even guys turn down sex sometimes.”
Even guys turn down sex sometimes. If we’re really tired or really stressed out it happens. You don’t need to have a full neurotic episode over it thinking we don’t find you attractive anymore.
“Don’t make me play ‘spot the difference.'”
Guessing Games. You look good. Don’t make me play “spot the difference.”
“Just because I want a night to hang out with the guys doesn’t mean…”
Just because I want a night to hang out with the guys doesn’t mean we’re going to bang girls and do crazy stuff. Sometimes it’s cool to just go grab some food and drinks and hang out.
“I just want her to stop…”
I just want her to stop apologizing to me for things that aren’t her fault. I kind of pisses me off sometimes, but I still love her with all my heart.
“Girls, if you’re dating someone, and they’re having sex with you, stop…”
Girls, if you’re dating someone, and they’re having sex with you, stop asking if they think you’re attractive. Personality goes a long way, sure, but that’s not the only reason they’re dating you. Your looks have a hand in it too.
“When men say they’re thinking of nothing, we’re often…”
When men say they’re thinking of nothing, we’re often thinking of nothing. Don’t stress about it.
“You farted, it’s not the end of the world.”
Bodily functions…you farted, it’s not the end of the world. We really don’t care.
“When girls say ‘sorry, I’m not wearing makeup,’ they are literally…”
A shower thought a while ago: When girls say “sorry, I’m not wearing makeup,” they are literally apologizing for looking like a human.
“Please don’t compare us to…”
Please don’t compare us to the best quality of every single guy you know. That guy doesn’t exist and everyone has their good and bad qualities.
“When I say hello and hold a conversation with you, I’m not…”
When I say hello and hold a conversation with you, I’m not hitting on you. I’m just being friendly, please don’t tell me you have a boyfriend.
“Cellulite.”
Cellulite and stretch marks.
“When I tell her that her…”
When I tell her that her body and figure is fine. I’m not saying that to humour you. I’m being serious. Be comfortable with your body because in my eyes it’s beautiful.
“They don’t need to be ‘on point’ every time we…”
Eyebrows. They don’t need to be “on point” every time we leave the house, and no, I really can’t tell if they’re even or not. Can we just get in the car already?
“Not everything has to be Pinterest-ed and…”
Not everything has to be Pinterest-ed and Instagram-ed to death. WE DON’T NEED ANY MORE MINI CHALKBOARDS OR BIRD CAGES. USE THE ONES FROM LAST TIME.
