I'm unwilling to generalize for an entire gender, because, realistically, anything women are stereotyped as doing, men do all the time too.
Passive aggressiveness? Yep, guys do that in spades. Backbiting? Check. Gossiping? Check. Nagging? Oh yeah. General social cruelty? In spades.
Bad habits aren't genetic, they're learned, and anyone can pick up on them. So, if anything, you should really be asking yourself: "Why are women stereotyped as doing this stuff when men do it too?"
I have been really trying to work on my passive aggressiveness lately! We are great at that.
Just an observation here, but have you ever noticed that even though we're all guilty of the same behaviors or suffer from the same flaws -- while in a heated argument with your honey, it's just your significant other's that come to mind? *laughs* That's what I've been working on in this newer relationship -- being more patient and tolerant of others flaws since I know I have more than plenty of my own that he has to endure too!
Amen. Thank you for not exaggerating gender differences, RP. -__- It really annoys me when people do that.
What Is Up With The Capitalization?
It's the title of the new song the asker is currently working on. :)
Typing in first caps is one of the things that guys hate.
I disagree with the answer. We can certainly generalize the behaviors of men and women. Something that I don't like that a female does is asking if they look fat in something. That may sound cliche but I've been asked this. Another thing is when they talk about their drama. I usually become deaf to this and they are better off telling their girlfriends or Mom or something about it. Also, the toilet seat thing is annoying because she complains about how I didn't put any effort in putting the seat back down when in reality she's putting in no effort to put the toilet seat up for me. Also, I hate their ranting on Facebook that I see about how guys are "assholes." And I don't like it when they bring up past relationships and let it affect their current relationships. These are behaviors I see in women that I just don't see in guys.
False. Guys rant on Facebook about how girls are "sluts" and "whores" and guys most definitely also bring up past relationships and let them affect their current relationships. Doing so is not gender specific, it's human.
I've been told by guys (both love interests and friends) that they think women analyze things too much....I agree.
I get my head spinning on one thing a guy says, and I can't sleep for days.
I tell my girlfriends about it...we dissect it to figure out the hidden meaning, look it up online, ask OTHER friends, make up scenarios about WHY he said it...and wonder about what time it was when he said it, in case THAT mattered...it's just sooo ridiculous.
AND, usually, the guy is over it within minutes, or doesn't remember what he said, or didn't really think all that hard about why he said it...it just came out as what it was, no big deal.
OMG...we're ready to jump off a cliff because of a few verbs and nouns, and he doesn't even remember saying anything.
If I was a guy, I'd think women were nuts! haha!
Well, that's stupid. Regardless of your gender.
