So I was just clicking random topics on MSN.com, and I came across this.
In this article, they mentioned how there are 8 things that guys always say they hate about a woman but in fact they actually love it. Here are the eight things:
1)
Blond AmbitionShe works way too much, always work late at night. He hates it, saying, "Hey, where's 'me' time?” But he actually really admires her motivation, and how much she cares about something.
2)
The ProviderShe whines and complains all the time. He said, "Gee, when are you going to stop whining like a baby and stop complaining like guys?” He actually loves it, it's cute when she uses her whining tone, makes him feel more like a man knowing that he can actually provide comfort, and protection.
3)
Tabloid ScammerHe's saying, "Do you really need that many subscriptions to your girly magazines? It's all the same, gossips about celebrities, sex advices, etc.” Then he realizes it sucks when there's no magazines to read when he's trying to go #2. Especially when he has diarrhea, or is constipated.
4)
Why All of the Questions?"Stop asking me! Yes, I ate. Yes, I am warm. I already have a mom doing that sweetheart, could you please cut me some slack?” One day she stopped asking, he thinks to himself, "Oh shit, does she not care anymore? Is she okay? What's wrong with us?"
5)
Garbage Duty"Aw, c'mon babe, can't you just do it for once, I am trying to win this game/watching UFC.” But he really thinks, "Awesome, I am the man of the house, she needs my manly arms to help her change the light bulb."
6)
Date PlannerShe plans out their everyday event, what they are going to eat, what are they doing after dinner, etc. He's annoyed how organize she is and how she just always plans everything ahead. "Wait, you didn't plan anything? Why not? Are you tired? What's wrong? Aw, now what are we going to do????"
7)
Mother Nurture"Yes, my dear, I am doing it right now. No dear, I won't screw up. Now leave me alone and let me do my job, please?” She stopped asking one day, "Hey dear, did I do this right? What do you think? Is this okay?"
8)
Guilty Pleasure"Another chick flick? What? Are you watching that show on CBS again?” What he's really thinking, "Oh shit, I think I am starting to like this show.” He turns to her one day, "Hun? When's that show going to have a new episode?"
I may have exaggerated a bit, but you get the idea.
Do men say they hate things but secretly love it? What are some other things men say they hate but really love about their significant other?

we also really do love mancouch, no matter how much it reads like a Seventeen magazine
#5. Please give my husband that memo! It NEVER gets done until I do it or put it in the way so he can't get through the door without taking it out.
3 is a flat out lie.
This makes it sound like men love being nagged and annoyed secretly. I do not. I'm not even putting up a front either. Do people like being loved? Yes. Duh. That doesn't mean I want to be nagged to take out the trash while I'm busy with another activity. Come on now...
I do enjoy SOME chick flicks though.
The sheer number of typos in this makes me lose faith in Xanga.
*mourns*
Imma run this with my boyfriend just to check. Hehehe :)
Why the hell is this on mancouch? Women take over everything. And I'm allowed to say that.
its sad that i don't agree with any of those things...
Yeah... no.
1. I do admire someone for being ambitious; but when they neglect everything else in their life I find them a nuisance and a detriment.
2. Whining can be cute if done cutely. Consistent whining and bitching is not endearing; nor is whining really much of an ego boost. Some men actually are comfortable enough to not need such trifles.
3. Most often we'll just use it to wipe our asses. This isn't really a valid point. At all. More often than not; we'll just skim Cosmo for words like "boobs" and "sex". Trust me, we're thrifty like that. We're not jumping with praise because you stocked the "crapiér" with tawdry gossip rags. Trust us.
4. Asking TOO many questions is irritating. Asking none is just bitchy. Find a medium area. Most guys don't like the extremes. We like a woman who asks questions that are relevant; and thougthful. Not someone who consistently nags us. It's not endearing.
5. Please... please tell me this comment was a joke... Reading this actually made me feel like the advances of women have been set back a few years. All men are NOT completely wrapped up in their egos that we NEED to know women want our "manly arms" to lift things those "weak" women cannot. Maybe we just want to watch the damn game.
6. YES! Because men are incapable of planning anything on their own without the woman doing it all. God. My dream when growing up was to marry a woman who had every minutiae of my life planned out to the T. I mean, it's not like I could write my own schedule out on a piece of paper. Hell no. My muscly arms are too full of the garbage she asked me to take out; despite the fact she could've done it herself.
7. What the hell did that even MEAN?! Wait... is he saying we can only do a job right when we have a female's input...? Are you fucking SERIOUS?! Good... fucking... god...
8. Rarely will a chick flick be any good. But damnit, sometimes we'd like to watch something with boobs and explosions. Preferably with men that don't act like stuttering, charming buffoons in every goddamn movie.
Maybe those guys feel that way; but they don't speak for all of us. At all.
yo. mancouch is turning into some cosmo shit.
i can't read half these entries anymore.
I have absolutely no eff'n idea. Men confuse the hell outta me.
Geez... anybody ever stop to think that maybe this is why half of marriages in America fail? Because we have all these stupid women telling other women what they think men like, and men don't like it at all.
Let me let some of you ladies in on a little secret... guys are not that complicated. If they say they're tired of your whining, they mean it. If they say they don't want to take out the garbage, they mean it.
How about we start listening to our men, instead of a bunch of idiotic women who think they know what the hell they're talking about, but they actually don't.
Ugh.
@abcxunt@xanga - Ug! You beat me to that statement!
I seriously read this the other day on Cosmo. O_o
As was put before, what's going on with Mancouch? Is this some kind of joke? I don't have a subscription to Datingish for a reason. Stop trying to get me in touch with my feminine side, already. I swear, my next blog is either gonna be about guitars, oil changes or hockey.
I thought you were going to say ass play...
@LegendaryPanda84@xanga - I second this.
@miis_cheung@xanga - glad i'm not the only one
this is all very brainwashing and it's not true. don't believe it guys.
my ex bf dumped me cus i whined and complained too much. so disregard #2 :]
@Schristian@xanga - Maybe if you wrote for Mancouch, we wouldn't be getting this garbage. If I wanted to read something some middle-aged woman wrote for a Cosmo article, i'd hit the magazine rack. Mancouch should stick to what it knows. MEN.
haha while these are true, its not true to all guys
@Dorkasaur@xanga - amen.
what legendarypanda48@xanga said...100% true
most of these depend on who the girl is though...sometimes the whiner really IS annoying and when i say shut up, i actually mean shut up.
#2 is irritating, especially if you become infantile and subservient to her.
every single number = epic fail.
The article is written by a chick. Almost none of it is true. Actually, mostly everything on that list annoys the Hell out of us. She's just feeding girls what they want to hear.
