Name something women should stop doing.
Women, (especially conventionally attractive women) have a tendency to raise their standards, where it concerns their romantic interests, so high, that they set themselves up for disappointment and relationship problems that they can blame men for. Not all things that men do wrong are the relationship problems women blame them for, but I've noticed setting that men up to fail is a common tendency among women. Instead, they should sometimes be asking " Was I expecting too much " or " Should this make me upset? " or " Have I got a right to demand that a man meet this expectation? ".
Because you can't reach their standards it doesn't mean they must lower them to your level.
@DUCHESSA I don't lower the standards for people. I raise the standards of everyone in any room. I wish I was bragging.
Gossiping about others.
hahhahahahaha And you think men don't have this trait???
@MsDemeanour I only speak from personal observation.
I wish both genders could just be who they are without trying to impress others. Which may mean I’m alone for the rest of my life. But I would rather find that one person who loves me for who I am, flaws and all, than love me for me pretending to be someone I’m not.
Could not agree more.
Shopping as a cure for boredom.
As long as they shop with their money...who are you to tell them to stop?
I'm going through a divorce. My non-working soon-to-be-ex wife would go to Chicago and spend so much that the credit card companies would call me asking me if our credit cards had been stolen.
Manic-depression. Insane shopping sprees during the manic phase.
Talking in graphic and overly descriptive terms about gynocological problem, bowel problems, waterworks problems when I am in the room.
Why ? It is all natural. We can learn something from it !
Giving their power away.
Nagging. While I realize not all women nag, it certainly is a common trait.
You never met my ex. Now that man could nag. Let's not over generalize, please!!!
@Keyboard-Mama I hate nagging. Full stop.
In the 2016 Australian census, women were still doing the bulk of the unpaid housework....up to 16 hrs more then their partners despite them both having full time jobs. If women nag perhaps this could be a reason. However I don't believe women nag more than me. Men have related the word to women as a way of putting them in their place and shutting them down so they don't have to hear any home truths.
Cutting down other women and calling them names because of some dude or anything else for that matter. There is enough of that going on in the world today, we don't need to do that to each other.
My response is the same as it was for the man question.
Over-filtering their pics on dating sites and social media! It just makes you look like you're made of plastic, lol! Would much rather see the real face.
This bothers me too. If you are a woman posing with your daughter and you look so much younger than your daughter who is half your age ,we all know something's up anyway!
We are already perfect in our own way. ????.
Wholey agree in your own way.
Laundry
Thats not fair !
Would that I could.
Hmmm my family still thinks the washer is a broken tele sitting in the corner of the kitchen, if I didn't do laundry no one would.
@VAL3941 you asked......
@AnneWimsey I was not complaining, but job that must be done by both sexes, unless you can afford a maid ?
Dieting, which is frustrating, usually doesn't work, and the end result makes women feel they're somehow not good enough.
And then they blame the men !
Have mars bar when you want one, let other people watch your weight, life's too short not to eat a pork pie.
Stop trying to be something your not just because someone says to, just be yourself and damn the consequences.
They like being something they are not ?
@VAL3941 Advertising and pop culture try to tell women how to dress, how to look, how to act. It's all a fantasy created by the male dominated advertising culture. It says that if you don't meet these expectations then you are unworthy and have failed not only yourself but women everywhere. The goals male society places on women are unrealistic and nearly impossible to achieve except for a select few and for a short period of time.
Shame other women. We should stick together and stop trying to bring each other down.
I don't know about other women, but I need to stop saying yes to things I don't want to do. I need to stop trying to take care of everyone else, and I need to stop beating myself up for being imperfect.
@VAL3941 Really?
@Browneyedlady I agree, it is something you shouldn't do !
Trying to dress the men in their lives.
Hey, I need all the help I can get!
