Do women complain too much ?
Since its the weekend, how about a nice discussion on the fairer sex..
Following is part of an article from The Telegraph, regarding women..
It is a curious feature of modern life that some sections of humanity are routinely pilloried while others must be swathed in politically correct cotton wool. So it is with men and women. Have a go at men and you are merely asserting sexual equality; do the same to women and you are a sexist pig. Well, let's get down into the trough.
Modern women seem to obsess about relationships, engaging in endless, wine-fuelled dissections of their love lives, often including appallingly vivid assessments of their partner's sexual performance, or lack of it.
A man will talk about having a good shag the night before, but keep it general, but sit in a group of women and nothing is left to the imagination.
Women are obsessed by diets and go on and on about them all the time. The concept of three meals a day doesn't occur to them - it's the broccoli and yak milk diet or something. You can spend a night out with a girl watching her down two bottles of wine and smoke 20 cigarettes while she explains that the reason she feels rotten every morning and has bad skin is her intolerance to dairy products.
Women constantly bang on about how it's so unfair that they can't have it all. They want the babies and the work, but then worry they'll feel guilty. And you are just not allowed to point out the obvious truth: that because of biology, they have to make a choice that men do not. And it's life, and it's tough.
Ah yes, shopping: the ultimate gender divider. Women do lots of shopping, even to the extent - and men really can't fathom this one - of buying something they will immediately reject and never wear.
The average woman thinks about shopping once every 60 seconds, according to the scientific journal Cosmopolitan. She spends eight years of her life doing it - a lot of it for tedious things like food, admittedly, for which she deserves sympathy, but also for clothes.
Female carping about the historic exploitation of women by men would be easier to take if said carpers stopped buying cheap, disposable fashion made possible only by the (female-exploiting) sweatshops of Asia.
But that would be to moan; and as we know, moaning is the sole preserve of the fairer sex. When a woman says she wants a deep and meaningful conversation, she usually means she wants a moan. The subject - her man, her shrivelling ovaries, working motherhood, whatever - is in reality peripheral. It's that need for a dopamine-oxytocin rush.
And of course the women who moan most have the most - the wives of professional men with too much money and time on their hands, but a Starbucks nearby.
Perhaps the last word should go to Sigmund Freud, who lamented: "The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my 30 years of research into the feminine soul, is: what does a woman want?"
NOT ONLY TO LISTEN BUT ALSO TO UNDERSTAND US!
"Life's rule: Assume nothing...expect little...do more...need less...smile often...sleep long...dream big...laugh a lot...pray always & once in a while...cry but continue living!
All these women complaining about being picked on, and nobody has anything to post about men? no grips? no problems? Let it rain.
Come on, what kind of guys are you women dating? shemales? ouch, that's gonna strick a nerve.
Let's face it, we are all going to have problems with each sex, and untill there is a maturity atom bomb, there always will be,but when someone can overlook these issues, and see the person inside(very rare for BOTH sexes)then we will keep writing about them here.
what a big lie
I'm a man of the world..
I can believe most things..
man landing on the moon - believable
9/11 conspiracy theories - believable
Area 51 exists - believable
Men are sexist - belivable
But saying that you get together with women and diest are never discussed. UNBELIEVABLE
Sorry - it is all undertaken in a confession boothe so no details of what constitutes rich conversation!
I think the reference was to about 99.99 percent of the women..
You must be in the other segment :)
Srta,
Could you please define to all us "RICH CONVERSATIONS"
I'm always hearing those conversations all the time inside my Confession Booth.
Maybe your is "RICH in knowledge"
LOL
And let's dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.
Well I love chatting with the girls...it was how I was brought up as I went to an all girls school....
But
a) Bang on about diets???? Never
b) graphic descriptions??? Never (a lady never tells)
I also have very good male friends and well I would say with both genders I have rich conversations on a variety of topics.....but not the two above!
I don't know what women they are referring to.
We don't want to end up with just anyone.. and also as the article says, women usually discuss the sexual performance, so we want to make sure we get "Ms right"
If that's the case how come so few men are actually willing to settle for a partner rather then playing the field till their in their 40's?

I do wonder why on earth did you want to post such a topic knowing you are leaning over the edge lol lol lol
The television is just an excuse to stay at home and be with our partners..
I do agree with you Gypsy,
Here is the woman Joke:
One time there was a woman in my confession Booth, all she did was moan and moan real loud, until I was deaf and mute, Couldn't hold my laughter after that.......LOL
Here is another men Joke:
A guy comes into My confession Booth, complaining he needs a job.
After thirty minutes of "spelling" out his professional work resume, I told him:
There is the broom, the dust pan, one mop with bucket, you could start cleaning my shed.
I'll will pay you minimum federal salary. He walk away, shouting at me; That he was not a "mexican but American"
I replied back to him: Wasn't you, the one asking for a Job?
LOL

Oh bull. It's because you all watch too much TV and can't resign yourselves to living normal lives.

When we talk about our work, its sharing. When we say we want to be millionaires. its because we want to make lives comfortable for the females in our lives.
brit, this is a nice one i liked it, can't wait to show it to my husband.
well said :)
what does a woman want?
WE WANT YOU GUYS TO LISTEN!!!
Statement of facts Red Pope, if women moan about relationships and shopping, men moan about their jobs, their lack of direction in life, why they can't all be millionaires, why women want relationships and aren't just happy with commitmentless sex, etc etc.
BTW, what the hell is with all the women topics? So far women moan too much, are incapable of holding a flashlight and hate sex...If this is what men really think of women NO WONDER WE BLOODY MOAN!

"Life's rule: Assume nothing...expect little...do more...need less...smile often...sleep long...dream big...laugh a lot...pray always & once in a while...cry but continue living!
We men love to put up with certain types of "moaning" , but here we are talking about carping :)
Gypsy,
Is that a Confession or a dark statement?
I believe is time for your Confession of Ex- Boyfriends endeavors.

how about, we women get a cold but men...they get man flu, they are dying poor things!!!
women just get on with things, men take to their beds and need round the clock nursing :)
You obviously never met my ex boyfriends if you think women moan. I never got a word in edgewise.
