Posted: 6/23/2007 1:20:29 PM | | Obsessive house cleaning, obsessive about their appearance, and drinking. I want a sober woman who loves to ride, smoke a little weed, wears jeans and tee shirts, and wants to have fun without getting dressed up drunk to do it. Nuff said... | |

What REALLY bugs you about the OPPOSITE sex? What little or big things do they do that drive you crazy?
Pete already gave the definitive answer.
You can rant and rave all you want because you are hiding behind your computer monitor and they can't come and get you!
Are you kidding? Mominatrix doesn't live all that far from me. I'm not taking any chances with this one. | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 2:28:50 PM | You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Ok, because I like your emoicons and you asked so nicely I will be the honest man I claim I am.
Women rarely mean what they say. Or they say something just to guage your response so they can whack you upside the head.
Yeah, you can go out with the boys. So, you are going?!
Does this dress make me look fat? If I answer no, you are just saying that to me me feel good I'm changing. If I say yes, *Whack* you think I'm fat? I thought we were talking about the fricken dress!
They rarely tell you what they want but have no problem leaving you when they don't get it.
Women have trouble telling me what they like, but no problem telling what they don't like.
How many guys, show of hands, how many guys have gotten the, He,"What's wrong hun?" She, "If you don't know there is no point in trying to tell you!"
That drives me fricken' nuts! What am I a mind reader? I gotta do the Vulcan Mind Meld to know what you are thinking? I gotta have a sixth sense know what's going on under those braids!
What do I consult James Van Prague and have him ask my dearly departed to contact hers and report back what's going on inside her head?
Remember who got me on this rant?^
Women all claim to want honesty in a man. Look at every profile in the pond, I'll wager 90% talk about honesty, yet most withwold their feelings till they are walking out the door.
He,I've been and insensitive jacka*ss for the last 10 years? How many times did you mention that? She, that's not something I should have to tell you, you just shouldn't have been.
The cool thing about POF is I can look at her profile and make a list of likes and dislikes. 
How many of the women who seek honesty are honest in there profiles? Now there is a thread.
Women hold grudges longer than any animal on the planet. I have an ex. ltr who is still a friend who brings up s*hit I did 20 years ago. I know you ladies are going to say that is one women and not all are like that but that has been my experience with every woman I have known my whole life. Guys if you screw up she will never forget.
When my parents were splitting I sat at the kitchen table, when all the other kids were asleep, and listened to my mother for hours at a time about all the little things my father had done over the course of 17 years. This went on for 2 years! How the frick did she remember all of that? I mean she practically remembered the dates!
Well that is all I have for now. Happy Cali? | |

You want the truth?
What could possibly make you think that?
Does this dress make me look fat?
Fat? Yes, it does make you look fat, Captain. But it also makes you look a bit fem.
f I answer no, you are just saying that to me me feel good I'm changing.
You just have to be a bit more creative...or deaf. | |

I also have a pet peev about coffee cups but I dont know if its only guys who do it. Leaving them everywhere around the home with coffee in them.... are you trying to see what old coffee can grow ? | |

How many guys, show of hands, how many guys have gotten the, He,"What's wrong hun?" She, "If you don't know there is no point in trying to tell you!"
That drives me fricken' nuts! What am I a mind reader? I gotta do the Vulcan Mind Meld to know what you are thinking? I gotta have a sixth sense know what's going on under those braids! Hey, it's the newest thing, it's called "listening." No woman who knows that her boyfriend actually is concerned and listens to what she says, will ever let that leave her lips. When we know our opinions, ideas, boundaries and ideals are respected, we are much less trouble to deal with.
It's you. In point of fact, a lot of the complaints you seem to have, are regarding communication. Hint, hint... you might just be an insensitive jackass. If something happens once, it's a fluke, twice, it's a coincidence, over and over, then it's you. Deal with it.
Also, our brains are wired to remember events which include emotions, much longer than men do. Maybe if they had been properly resolved to begin with, it would not be a long held grudge.
It's not the best time for me to vent right now. It will be totally overwrought and hostile. Ask me later.

Thank you, Captain for making things perfectly clear. Believe me, I really AM listening and I think all of the other gal fishies are too! If I had any doubts before, they have now all been cleared up. | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 4:15:58 PM | Sorry I cannot listen to thoughts unspoken. The example I gave about the insensitive jackass is not one from experience just an example of a woman withholding her emotions untill it is too late. If a man knows he is rubbing a woman the wrong way, and he has a brain in his head, he will not do it in the future.
It is hard to respect an opinion that is not voiced. That is the point I am trying to make. Often times, in my humble and obviously ignored opinion, women do not voice their wants, needs or grievences untill after the fact or untill they are angry.
And this is my fault?
See why I didn't want to do this? Was this supposed to be an airing of our peeves or an opportunity to bash the poster ahead of you?
Maybe if my father had known he was upsetting my mother he would have resolved it and it would not have become a grudge.
BTW of all of my relationships one was ended by the other party. She is a fish and you know her. Ask her why she broke it off. The others were because I was lied to or cheated on, but that was surely my fault too! | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 4:31:25 PM | | Captain, how do I say this diplomatically? This forum was geared towards lighthearted, minor peeves of the sort that men and women deal with every day. Stuff like leaving the toilet seat up or coffee cups lying around. You decided to take it up a notch by choosing to reveal your deep seated anger, and hurt and frustration in the bigger picture of trying to have a healthy relationship, which is way beyond the scope of this venue. It is obvious to anyone who has followed your posts for the past few months that you have had some major communication and relationship issues. I am truly sorry for this and I am sure they are not all your fault because it takes two to tango. But, what shouts out loud and clear in your posts is that you are an angry man! It truly appears that you are angry at a couple of women in particular and all women in general. That goes way beyond the scope of minor everyday pet peeves and raises a major red flag to any woman reading what you choose to write. When you air all of your dirty laundry in public, then you should not be surprised when people shy away from the source. Sorry, but that is how I see it. | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 4:58:23 PM | 1: illogical behavior. Yes, it actually is something men think about. For example, if you ask me to take you out somewhere yet you refuse to take any time off work to do so. Why bother asking me then?
2: irrational behavior. Snapping just because I made truthful comment. If you don't want the truth from me, why ask the question? Example: "does this make me look fat?" and then getting mad when I say that you should go a few sizes lower because it's too big on you.
3: knee-jerk reactions. If I suggest something to you, you have the right to say no. Don't just go off just because you disagree with my suggestion, just say no. Example: suggesting a different clothing style based on your body figure.
4: evasive. Don't duck a question and don't try to change subjects. It's irritating. If it's something where you don't know the answer, just say you don't know. If it's something where you aren't comfortable talking about it, just say so. Bottom line, answer the question no matter what.
5: Bass ackwards. It's funny how single women don't know how to act but married women seem to be just fine. Single women act like they have to be defensive all the time because they think we're all murderers or rapists or whatever, married women are commonly easy to get along with. Shouldn't you be easy to get along with regardless?
6: ignorance. I think that one speaks for itself. Don't speak on topics you know nothing about.
Those are my biggest. | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 5:10:00 PM | The problem with e-mail is you cannot hear the tone in the voice of the speaker. I am not angry at any woman and I cannot conceive of how you draw that conclusion.
As I stated many times in forum I am still friends with the last 20 years of ltrs. How could this be if I am anrgy? What angered me was the fact that someone choose to bash my post or attack me instead of just posting their own peeve.
I can give you a list of ladyfish who do not feel the way you do, however I do respect your opinion and will try not to hit the keyboard so hard when I type.
I was laughing the whole time I was posting. I especially thought the mind meld thing funny.May I quote the openning post?" You can rant and rave all you want because you are hiding behind your monitor and they cannot get you. "Apparently they can.
"My pet peeve is men who are wussies and don't share their true feeling."
What happends when I do? I am labeled a woman hater. Geese
My pet peeve I hate it when they leave stockings in the shower. What does that reveal about me? | |

Posted: 6/23/2007 5:26:05 PM | My biggest pet peeve, by far, is the "Man Cave". It's the #1 relationship killer. No relationship can withstand a man going off into his emotional cave when conflict strikes his world, with nary a word about what's wrong, and zero communication about if/when he's ever coming back. It leaves women baffled, angry, questioning, pushed away, anxious, rejected, and feeling like the relationship just became "expendable", without having been given any notice.
The sad thing is it's all so easily avoidable with just the smallest of behavior modifications on both parts.
What makes anyone think their world will never have any conflict in it? And how does their relationship become something to be put "on the shelf" when conflict happens? What happened to practicing "for better and for worse", and turning to their partner for support and encouragement? Male wiring is so illogical to me in this regard.
It never ceases to amaze me that there are so few willing to adjust their behavior (instead, falling back on the oh-so-tired "that's just how I am!!!"), when the long-term benefits could be so amazing and enjoyable .... | |
