Dear Jullianna,

Of these 50 -that's FIFTY - bad behaviors, there's about 10 I've put in bold that are IMHO predominately female conduct either in reality or perception. The rest are male behaviors in reality or in perception. Now, I'm no expert, but this "study' by Psychology Today seems a little slanted.

Thankfully, you'll be happy to know I've done a little bit of my own research and come up with a a handful of behaviors that are predominately FEMALE in reality or in perception, just to help even up this important research and present a less biased review. I'm hopeful there's other attributes that can be added to this list.

Consider this a "living document".

1. Don't act like a man if you're not one. It's ok to work out, but don't bulk up. It looks nasty.
2. It's like if I hear like the work "like" one more time, I think I will like kill you.
3. Silent treatment. Just say you're angry and get it over with. Silent treatments can go on for days.
4. The word "whatever" has become some kind of period. An end. There's no more discussion when the word whatever is used. It's like there's 2 minutes left in the ball game, Tennessee is down by 2 but driving from the 50 - then - whatever. It's over. That's it. Whatever. Don't say whatever.
5. It's annoying when "someone" cannot make up their mind. About anything.
6. Humans communicate with language. Not codes. Don't code things. Symbols or analogies or metaphors are very hard for "some people" to understand. Just be concrete, state names, places, events, times and don't code.
7. You're going to disappoint your mom and dad at some point. Get over it.
8. You've been independent and on your own a long time. Don't all of a sudden get needy.

I agree about the female slant there.
I have one to add after #5..... It's even more annoying when they try to make up your mind. About everything.

9. Don't "volunteer" them or loan them out to your friends to fix everything. If yer gonna do it anyway, at least make sure he gets paid for it.:rolleyes::p
10. It annoys him when you totally blame him for leaving the toilet seat up even though you were the one not watching & fell in.:rolleyes:

I've heard guys use "whatever" in that context as well.

Whatever = I don't have a counter-argument but I don't want to admit you are right, so I'm ending the conversation now. I know we're both still mad and nothing got resolved but I don't want to talk about it anymore so I'm using my escape hatch.

what I find amusing is in that 50 list. the silly holiday crap comes up. Valentines day and other holidays are just commercial holidays to sell garbage. maybe when started they were a nice thing with meaning. but now they are just another commercialized garbage day and I refuse to partake in commercialized garbage.

And as for the remote control thing. yes If I am in a rare time watching something. I will turn off the stupid box the minute I get annoyed with the garbage ads. and chances are no tv in my house anyway.

Paul wasn't saying that widows should not get married, or anyone not get married at all. :)



Paul's writings from 1 Corinthians 7: -

But if you don’t have enough self-control, then go ahead and get married. After all, it is better to marry than to burn with desire

It isn’t wrong to marry, even if you have never been married before. But those who marry will have a lot of trouble, and I want to protect you from that.


I want all of you to be free from worry. An unmarried man worries about how to please the Lord. But a married man has more worries. He must worry about the things of this world, because he wants to please his wife. So he is pulled in two directions. Unmarried women and women who have never been married worry only about pleasing the Lord, and they keep their bodies and minds pure. But a married woman worries about the things of this world, because she wants to please her husband.


Concerning widows, Paul writes


A wife should stay married to her husband until he dies. Then she is free to marry again, but only to a man who is a follower of the Lord. However, I think I am obeying God’s Spirit when I say she would be happier to stay single.


Paul is saying that as unmarried people, our focus can be solely on God and less on the things of the world. (toilet seats, snoring, blah-blah, etc )

The purpose of this thread has been to assist and encourage those who DO desire to marry to look at the larger picture in a lighthearted way.
A warning to not be distracted by petty things. To call attention in a fun way to the silly things most married couples bicker about. :) To encourage the desire for a deeper marital bond through greater communication. To strive for something deeper than selfish ways. To understand that most of the issues that irritate spouses are trivial. Sand between the toes that is easily shaken.

Forewarned is forearmed. :)

Hmmm ok :)


I was just merely quoting Paul in the Bible and his viewpoints on this context.

You know that saying:

I wanted a dog but my wife wanted to get a cat, so we compromised and we got a cat

Go to bed at the same time. Get up at the same time. Even if you take a secret afternoon nap, your spouse will appreciate that you are on the same schedule. It makes weekends much more useful and it cuts down on the "getting in touch with old friends on Facebook."

While we're on the subject... draw very firm boundaries about people of the opposite gender, especially on Facebook.

Never give the "free trial" a go just to see... It may be urban legend, it may not be... but there is a whole lot of stuff out there about how the founder of a particular Match making site lost his significant other to someone she met on said Match site. There is bound to be something to that, so count it as bad voudon and just don't go there.
