#23 - walking around for any amount of time, even just one second, naked except for a t-shirt.  It just looks so .. stupid, weird, silly?  I can’t even put my finger on it.

wait criticizing porn watching habits is an actual problem? I have never encountered this or heard any woman complain about this.

I don’t know if I agree entirely with #13.  I can appreciate a luxury car, and often times, I will stop to admire it. I can’t be the only girl out there who does that!

#24 SPITTING…its the grossest thing ever, and unless you are brushing your teeth, there is no excuse.

Also my ex used to do #19 ALL THE TIME…no wonder all his friends hated me

I’m a gear head so I stop to look at cars, but only for Maseratis or up, or if it’s something interesting like a 1960’s TVR or some other out of place auto.

#25 Saying they’re broke but they bought 3 video games.

#26 Commenting on your eating habits.

#27 Complain that you don’t give them enough attention when your busy and your schedule is packed. Then ignoring you when you do give them attention.

#28 Telling you that your not being sexy enough, yet you work full time, are in school full time and not only do you have midterms, but your flying out on a business trip and you getting an average of about 4 hours of sleep.

My man used to get on me about spending and I would look at him and then put on my left hand and spread my fingers, looking for invisible engagement ring, look back at him and tell him I do not have to listen to him. he is nto my husband.

I would say these are more like characteristics than “habits.”  Show me a guy who doesn’t do any of these, and I’ll show you a guy to whom you will absolutely not be attracted.  As for #20, mold is awesome.  Sorry.

haha, I call guys out on #6 all the time. They’ll be like “Ya, I’m, like, 6’ or 6’1”“, and since I can’t keep my mouth shut I’ll say something along the lines of “Actually you’re at least two inches shorter than that because I’m exactly 5’11” and still somehow taller than you”.

#29- Make vile comments about each others girlfriends in mixed company.

Nose picking…ULTRA disgusting!!! Stop it. We see you. Yes, we see you driving in your car picking too. YUK!

Adjusting or scratching your balls in public. Well, I have a confession. When my baby reaches to adjusts his big balls (in public) it makes me horny…just sayin’

@ ChoJinn, despite my maleness, I am only guilty of #17 (and that’s mostly because I don’t have the foresight to realize I won’t have the time to play the games).

@Buhri: I seriously doubt he does none of those. Either you aren’t very observant or he is sneaky and/or a saint.

I love #6.  I don’t know why some guys do that.  It’s as bad as women lying about their weight.  It’s just a number.  Besides, I have a certain height ratio I like to stay within.  I wouldn’t want to date someone who was dramatically taller than me.

Buhri

No, I’m observant and he sucks at being sneaky. Not all guys are the same and just because some guys have these annoying habits doesn’t mean that’s the norm. There’s a reason there’s so many single women in the world, they all have the mentality that all men are like this, they’re not.

Sometimes the boys need adjustment or they’re genuinely itchy. Granted, it’s not something to be done onstage, but, I think if you’ve seen them already, you shouldn’t be too squeemish about it. You never see guys complaining when a woman adjusts her bra, and if you do, that guy is gay.

DancerNinja
wrote on May 19 2009 @ 07:24 am: [report]

I’ve come to the conclusion that guys use a different, smaller inch when measuring their height. They probably use that same ruler in their pants.

I’m exactly 5’8, not that tall, but I can tell right off if you’re not 5’9 or 5’10 like your online profile claimed.

Some former BFs, not the recent one, would:
* Go on a grooming/hygiene vacay on the weekends—“What for? I’ve worked all week!” @#!&*%
* Have a sudden onset of ADD with finishing projects/tasks. What’s wrong with 50%? Concentration miraculously returns when it’s something fun. Ditto MissJennLynn
* Insist the room is “clean” just because clutter was removed, but was still dirty—the dust magically invisible to them on their Bachelor-Black furniture.

I know this has been debated ad nauseum, but leaving the toilet seat up, especially if there are “drips” left on the rim, is so, so gross. Or worse yet, leaving pubes on the rim.

Personally, I like the whole thing closed, seat and lid. Things can accidentally fall in otherwise. And it solves the whole seat up – seat down debate. I want to invent a toilet seat that flushes when you put the lid down. Great way to make sure it stays closed!

haha, Perceptible, thank you, I was almost going to mention the “ol’ toily standard,” but wasn’t in the mood to defend it again! And your invention idea could really fly! I’ll be your first investor!

As a man I can’t understand why women can’t remember to raise the toilet seat when they are through!

@Helixbill - not all of us keep the seat down when we’re done.  I’m a “leave it how you found it” type person - so if it’s your man-toilet, seat goes back up!

Likewise, if you’re visiting my place, you should put the seat back down.

- OMG, spitting! Or that nasty sound they make before spitting, you know, that gargling/snort sound.
- Farting, now don’t get me wrong I sometimes let out a few but only because I did not manage to stop it from happenning.  Guys don’t even try anymore.
- Bragging about their ability to take a monumental dump.  I don’t need to know that really! EWW!

The toilet seat thing AGAIN!?!??  I pity the woman who isn’t observant enough to give even a cursory glance at the toilet before she sits on it.  COME ON, it’s not that hard.

Perceptible

@joyy, it’s not that you might accidentally sit on the rim, it’s just so gross to look at, IMO. I know, enough about the toilet already. Clearly there are many sides to this debate.

I’m still for the toilet that only flushes when you lower the lid. Retro chic, I’ll let you know when it’s in production!

Personally, I’m for separate bathrooms. That would solve the majority of relationship issues. Until then, Perceptible, your market is built-in with women being the primary buyer of home goods—you’re set.

@perceptible - you’re right, that is gross.  I just can’t stand the usual up vs down debate as it makes everyone involved seem so ... stupid. 

And towards the hair in the sink thing - double sink bathrooms ftw.

Perceptible

And then there’s that whole issue with microscopic “spray” that is released into the air when you flush with the lid open. That alone is worth closing the lid.

The problem with separate appliances is that his sink/toilet will never get cleaned.
Hey, another annoying habit! Guys that don’t clean their bathrooms. Ewwwwww!

How about whining or making some kind of snide remark every time they are confronted with something slightly feminine?  Such as a commercial for any sort of emotionally charged movie not about war or sports, a colorful drink, holding a purse for five seconds.  This drives me INSANE.  I don’t make noise every time I see a commercial for a movie about crap blowing up.  But seeing a movie with a female lead makes you feel like less of a man unless you put it down?

men that blow their noses without using a tissue.
men that msnsge to get pee all over the toilet bowl, I mean really..how hard is it to get it in the bowl? the hole is big enough.

men thatuse their ashtrays as a spitoon. I know someone that does that and it makes me want to vomit.

RE #12-
I met my boyfriend at the bar while he was in a “drinking competition.”  Now he thinks I have no excuse to get irritated when he gets SUPER drunk.  It’s not often, but it’s usually when we’re having a really fun time together, and, consequently, I’m in the mood to go home and do it…grrr…

Bacon strips in the wares.
Not showering often enough to counter your man funk.
Getting in bed all stank and nasty.
Chewing with their mouth open and/or loud smacking.
Leering at girls in a disgusting and indescreet manner.
Wearing white jeans (this is NEVER ok.  Are you listening? NEVER!!!!)

I dont see why guys complain about number 16. I love to buy stuff just as much as women do! Granted it is normally not shoes.

And @ TotallyRidiculous

I will admit that chic flicks are awesome. Good story lines and they leave you with that good movie feeling. Now this could be due to the fact that i am a film major and chic flicks make a ton of cash. But they are truly some of the best written movies. Probably because most women really get into them. well except for that twilight movie. That was torture.
