Men

[pretty]

bwaahhh hahahahahah ! wow, that's good. I think I'll use that one, go hold up a big towel. ha ha, ha hahahahah! silly men, so useless, and somehow, so necessary, to us women. maybe just for us to laugh at? thanks ladies for a good laugh. (towel, ha ha)

[cherry]

It's so wrong. But I've loved watching Mad Men and I want a Don Draper.

HAHA this is so funny!
My husband doesn't get this crap either.
Do this thought ever cross your mind? If your man came down with some disease, wouldn't you be all over the internet researching the hell out of it and freaking out?? I would!

It took me BEGGING my husband to go to one of my doctor appointments so that my doctor could explain to him what this is! That was the only way he would take me seriously!

[amcladybug]

My man doesn't get it either. He supportive for the most part but there are times I'd like to hit him in the head.

Sometimes there are days I don't accomplish much and when he gets home he makes little smart remarks. He thinks he being funny. Really like I need him to make me feel more crappy than I already do.

I don't know about anyone else but when my man is sick with a cold he expects round the clock care and acts so pitiful. I know he couldn't handle all the issues we deal with. Men are big babies when it comes to pain and sickness.

At the same time he holds my hand or hair when I'm getting sick. No one one can make me smile trough my pain the way he does.

[JC]

Anybody have a man that's a big baby when they're sick?

My husband is sick right now and I will admit, colds are friggin miserable but OMG he's acting like a big baby!
It's kinda tapping into my motherly instincts cause I like to take care of him but geez!!! I get sick too and don't act like that!

[chicagogal2]

I'd love for men to have a period like we have for 1 hour- I wouldn't even make them have it for a day, then they'd know how lucky they really are. A cold sucks but boo hoo -I'd take a cold over this crap we deal with any day!

[cherry]

I completely understand. I think women tend to deal better but we're also dealing with endometriosis so we're used to dragging ourselves out and carrying on as normal.

[JC]

Yeah maybe that's it. We're used to feeling like crap so we've learned to just move on with our day.
They couldn't handle living in our bodies for a day.

[cherry]

No way, the general feeling of malaise, the pain, various associated aches and stiffness, migraines and headaches, poisonous treatments that bring a whole host of other problems, limited diet, funny toilet habits, hormones that make you look and feel insane, cramps and extra pain before and during periods, the knowledge that there's no cure, the worry about fertility and having choices taken away, sex issues like not being able to have 'normal' sex at all, or not being able to enjoy because of the unpredictable or inevitable pain the feeling of being a burden because of all this... oh and I don't know if you ladies get this but I'm in more pain when I have a cold (definitely with 'flu too) so I feel like I have the right to bitch when I have a cold and they don't, hahaha!

[sunshine78]

Men are just whiny tit-bags. I feel like saying, "Oh, your nose is running? Awww! Why don't you come whining when you get harpooned through your pelvis every day for at least 30 days, and then I might feel sorry for you, because that's what every day feels like for me, you jackass."

Luckily, I don't get a lot of men whining at me about stuff.

[hellsbells]

Why do the dirty gets hack and spit??

[cherry]

Gets my goat! There's a lad in work who sits there making that noise that people do when they're about spit and then he tries to embarrass me saying his throat is tickly because it makes me go green, but everyone else thinks it's vile too. He also picks his nose and claims he's 'itching it'. I told him to buy some frigging piriton if he has so much 'itching' in work. And he does that sniffing/pig snort sounding thing and swallows. Aargh I might have to kill him.
I just make sure to sit well away from him nowadays.

[sunshine78]

DUDE, my dad hacks and chorks every five minutes. Truth be told, I gag nearly every time I hear/see him do it.

I also get really grossed out when people blow their noses in public. EW.

I have a question about men - why are they always picking at their balls? Are they just checking to make sure they're still there, or is it a scrotum-sticking-to-the-leg issue, or worse... itching? I've seen some do it every 15 seconds, no exaggeration.

[Karen]

An old boyfriend was a CONSTANT ball scratcher/repositioner. In public, too. I remember being on the subway with him and just being so embarrassed. When I asked him about it once, he blamed his unusually large balls. They were pretty big, no lie, but why does that make them itch more? I have big knockers but you don't see me scratching them all the time!!

[cherry]

Karen I lol-ed at that, funnily enough my little boobies get itchy all the time but again I don't adjust or itch in public.
If it's a leg sticking issue then really they should consider new undies and maybe just stand up and shake it off rather than try to surreptitiously-but-not-subtle-cos-you-always-notice-the-hand-going-to-the-crotch-action poking it around or just sticking their hands down their pants full stop.
I also refuse to blow my nose in public. Or cough or sneeze if it can be helped. My doctor said I was putting back my recovery from flu by not coughing but I am just weird like that.
