– I wouldn’t nag and nag and then nag some more…
– I wouldn’t talk simply for the sake of talking…
– I wouldn’t spend over two hours getting ready to go out for only half an hour…
– I wouldn’t go into panic mode at the slightest hint of a wrinkle starting to form on my face…
– I would always be on time…
– I wouldn’t be a bimbo…
– I wouldn’t be insanely addicted to shoes…
– I would only go shopping when I needed to…
– I wouldn’t obsess on how big or small a certain body part of mine is…
– I wouldn’t be a tease…
– I wouldn’t talk about things I have no idea about…
– I wouldn’t give a shit about this or that celebrity’s new look…
I think you get the idea…
But above all: I wouldn’t complain and nag about how much I want to be treated as an equal to man, and then ask to be treated specially, as a woman, when it suits me better.
These points are inspired from the different annoying things I have seen in a lot of girls and women at work, at the mall, at school, …etc throughout my life.
Obviously not one person can have all these things together, that’d be a disaster, although I’ve seen some people come pretty close, and it’s really rare to find a girl/woman who doesn’t have at least one of them; I believe my dear wife is one of the closest there is to that side of the spectrum; lucky me.
Update: I’ve obviously upset some people with this post, who think that it’s a sexist post. I just wanted to apologize if it came across as such, it wasn’t meant in that way at all. The idea of the post is that we, from both sexes, find a number of annoying things in the opposite sex, and this post just summed some of these things in women. It doesn’t imply in any way that we men are perfect or superior, in fact I know that we’re even worse in our own ways, and I’ll even be posting about that soon.
Weird supposition 🙂
It reminds me a quote in a movie, The Shadow Dancer:
“I tell you, if I were a woman, I’d be lesbian”.
For what on earth are you making of women your enemies 🙂
If I were a woman I wouldn’t agree with all this :p May be would I rather think that men do (and will) never understand how does women “function” 🙂
you’re not a woman that’s for sure and maybe you should meet other women cause the ones you know don’t seem that appropriate to me…you’re a lucky perfect man …quality control certified, it reminds me of something… every woman is( let’s say, forinstance) insane, except my mom .. and in your case it’s your wife!
thats quite sexist ya mmm..
@Swobodin: Well, it’s just an idea that crossed my mind. Weird, I know, but well, so what?
@Bilel: Hmmm, yeah I guess a lot of women won’t like this post, but well I’m just kidding after all. Maybe I should follow up with a post about men?
@abc: We men aren’t that much better btw 😛
@Roba: Nah, I’m no sexist, this post is just for fun really, and of course, we men have our list of annoying features as well that may be even longer than the list I’ve compiled above. Maybe I should put a post together about men too 😉
Your observations, MMM, apply equally to some men as much as to some women.
I am disappointed that you have chosen to write such a revolting sexist comment – the fact that your wife is excluded from this list of derogatory stereotypes of women makes it even worse.
Just kidding! no there is no kidding here – one does not write this and then claim to be kidding! turn it round and imagine this is a white racist islamaphobe writing about Arabs and or Muslims? Shame on you!
it’s really sad to read such things, quand on ecrit qq chose on en pense certainement une grande partie, le fait que votre femme est exclue du lot rend les choses encore pire, quel dommage que vous pensiez de cette maniere, c’est votre point de vue, je ne le partage pas, c’est tres macho, c’est votre droit, etpas forcement la verit
@Jimbo: We men have even more annoying things about us.
@ Sokari & dooda: I’m sorry that you took it as a sexist comment, I really didn’t mean it as one, nor did I mean to stereotype or generalize; as I’ve added as an update to my post, the idea was just to list some of the things that annoy us men in the opposite sex, I’m sure there are as many things, if not more, that annoy women in men too.
I don’t exclude my wife, I just meant that she’s the person with the least annoying things to me that I know of. But after all isn’t that normal, we all look for the person that’s most compatible with us as our life partner.
Salut,
Le but de MMM
Wow, MMM–did you get in trouble! And in so many languages! And on three continents. Can’t say you don’t have an enlightened and urbane readership. 🙂 (A small thing, really; it’ll pass.)
Not to worry about us–we’re just the ghosts in the machine. Eman, though… 🙂
If it’s any consolation, I’m in deep guano with my female Italian colleague–have been cowering in my classroom all week in dread anticipation of the iron tramp of Julius Ceasar’s fearsome 13th Legion echoing down the hall.
Well, I’ll let you get back to whatever acts of contrition may be required of you. (I’m thinking diaper changing, all shifts.)
Good luck.
J.
lol, well noone is perfect really. I do not consider constant shopping to be a bad thing, one of the best forms of therapy, but then again I am a female!
Well your post maybe viewed as sexist, but these traits are the cause of irritation for men. It isn’t like they have not been uttered before even in this socalled politically correct era.
I admit that women do dislay certain double standards. We cry foul whenever a man shows criticism, claiming that we suffer from discrimination, yet we do not fail to point out men’s faults in detail at every opportune moment, and we delight in making these views heard by males.
If I was a man, I would appreciate women much more. I would cherish their good and their bad traits :D.
All in all, the post was funny. I have yet to see one person who hasn’t shown sexism, intentionally or not, starting with yours truly.
All i can cum up wid is LOLZ!!!
OoOOPZ….sorryyyy!!! hehehehe
