What Drives Her Mad
By Laura Snyder
You left the toilet seat up again. You're hypnotized by the television or that cute girl walking down the street. You just have to adjust your privates (are you checking they're still there?) in public.
We haven't even gotten started on the litany of stuff that guys do to irk women. Some examples you'd better steer clear of.
Your Oh-So Public Bodily Functions
We admire your body confidence, really we do. We're glad you're comfortable with us. And we understand how indispensable--and apparently, greatly amusing--you think things like burping, farting and nose picking are. But we still find them unnecessary, uncouth, and completely rude. And we think you'd agree after the first time you'd catch us with a manicured finger up our nose.
Your Blatant Unawareness of Basic Household Chores
There is a reason we so strongly abhor wet towels on the floor, stained laundry strewn around, and food-encrusted dinner plates left to pile up in the sink - these things are all dirty and eventually will smell. But what really irritates us is the message you're sending with every damp towel, muddy sock and crusty dish: "Such petty chores are your job, woman."
Your Drunken "Charms"
You drool. You make up ridiculous stories. You paw us awkwardly. And then promptly pass out, wheezing and snoring, your nasty lager-soaked breath hot on our faces. That's charming, all right.
Your Selective Hearing
Where did you learn to tune us out so well? It's like your brain is programmed only to pick up certain keywords (like "sex" or "football") and disregard the rest. Maybe we should just start every sentence with, "I'd like a threesome..." Now take out the garbage.
Your Blissful Ignorance
How you can notice when we substitute the fat-free ice cream for the real stuff, but not tell that we lightened our hair or lost a few pounds is beyond us. And why do you believe us when we say "nothing's wrong" when everything about our behavior says there is?
i wanna beat laura till she bleeds everywhere. they always make these damn articles out like men are such classless brutes, and that pisses me off to no extreme.
public bodily functions? if you dont get a good laugh out of a fart, or giggle when i burp you're obviously a stuckup pretensious woman who needs to remove the stick from your ass
cant do basic household chores? sorry if you're a housewife dont fucking complain, the man is out all day working for money YOU spend without thinking about where, then the man gets home and is expected to do more work? again, get that stick out of your ass and help your man out. if you're not a housewife, then split the god damn work and not just sit and stew
drunk around her? why isnt the woman drunk? thats right shes a stuckup bitch
selective hearing? men dont give a fuuuuuck, and most hate being told what to do, how about asking instead of assuming you have some god given right to tell us what to do
blissful ignorance? if any girl im ever dating says "nothings wrong" when there actually something is, im going to take her at her word, i dont care enough to read into stuff, i dont want to read into stuff, if theres a problem, tell me, we'll talk it out...dont be a stupid fucking child and sit on your anger
GOD i really hate these netscape "love" articles, its the reason i dont date much
