Flagrant, logic-free moodiness comes with a fail-safe monthly alibi.

the extra layer of fat that covers their entire body.

i can't think of anything except sometimes they're careless.

no!

This aint me...

But I'll go first:

They always want someone who's gonna be a prick and then moan and whine about wanting nice guys when it all goes pear shaped.

And women love men with money.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

i hate men with money.

that they have a really bad deal with things generally. it seems so unfair.

― Eurofags On Crack (blueski), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

Bad aim when using the toilet. Can't think of anything else that's gender-specific.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

I am so jealous of boobs.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

I hate it when men get all autistic. Female moodiness is way better than male pull-all-the-shutters-down-and-act-like-I-don't-exist.

― Born to pun, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

I dislike that they, generally, won't do my bidding.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:56 (twenty years ago)

they get to wear prettier clothes

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

at least, they have more diverse choices of clothing

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

I'm not entirely sold on the whole "Ladies Night" thing at nightclubs.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

They can sing higher. And vibrators seem like fun.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

Women like guys who have money and can take care of them and yet get really pissy if men have better jobs and wages than them. And lots of women get to the top by being hot - which means that society doesn't have the best female role models, but then you just need to go out to a club on any night during the week to see that girls are no longer the preyed upon, emotional, "want a relationship" type that some strains of feminism want us to believe. Men are only after one thing etc etc - what crap.

And they are, quite frankly, capable of being really nasty in a way that men aren't. Women like to reduce men to wrecks because post-feminism deems it okay. There's a bullshit two teir system now.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

Hey, vibrators are for everybody!

C-Man is autistic and this is his thing, right?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure I don't enjoy them as much as women do.

x-post, vibrators I mean

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

their fragile egos.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

The massive advantage they have over us in the arena of knowledge of the workings of their naughty bits.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Fragile egos. Pish posh.

Everything I got taught about women during my all-female, ultra feminist up bringing turned out to be utter shit as soon as I hit puberty.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Man, Calum is really hung up on this women-only-like-guys-with-money notion.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

There's lots of things I dislike about women, but I dislike it all in men as well; I think my general misanthropy comes into play here.

If I'm being hoest, everything i hate about women is probably down to jealousy (general aesthetics, multitasking, and so on) so naming them on a wingethread seems awfully churlish.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Is that when you got your first period?

Umm, as opposed to their knowledge of ours?

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

Refusal to clean toilets, convenient memory loss when asked to perform simple tasks, waiting to be told to pick up their shit instead of just picking up their shit, and constantly changing the channel between various sporting events.

And most importantly... thinking that he's too manly to practice good hygiene and grooming (i.e. nosehair & unibrow plucking is only for homosexuals).

oh, xpost now.

Their inability to appreciate cars going fast vroom vroom.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

but but but girl likes cars...

― good charlotte-man (ken c), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

That they, on average, live like 5-15 years longer than we do.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

You mean the years 79-84? They can have 'em.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

It's true. Girls like men who drive fast cars, and especially cars that do wheel spins and rag their motors.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

Just as well my wife is 10 years younger.

Actually, yeah, guys that like sport and don't put down the loo seat (providing they're living with females), pluck nose hairs etc that is grotty... yeah, these things piss me off too. God, the guy who actually dates some desperate munter. Ew. I hate desperate guys...

Actually, fuck it, everyone pisses me off.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

Mostly yourself, I'm guessing.

Do I have a claim to fame as the Embrace fan of the week?

No.

Case closed. Go post some more pics of yourself and fawn over yourself four eyes.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

FOUR EYES???

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

Oh my.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

― *har*t** li*o (gareth), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

Inability to vocalise deep-seated desires. That irritates me.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Arrogant twat boys. I fucking hate 'em.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

I am envious of the purse. I hate that all attempts at a masculine equivalent have all fallen far short.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

i just almost fell out of my chair laughing at the 'four eyes', by the way.

well done. make me laugh for another 40 mins till i can go home, please.

p.s. i don't hate boys, but i dislike certain groups of them-- i have a hard time getting along with frat boys, for example. but that's more their chosen social group than their gender, so whatever.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

The thing about a purse is that you need a bag to carry it in, and men have an aversion to bags except ones which go on your back and are thus less accessible when you need to quickly buy, say, a hotdog.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

The thing about a purse is that you need a bag to carry it in,

Uh, what????

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

POCKETS

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

if i had a purse i'd wear it as a hat

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

WOMAN: Honey, I need a new purse.
NICK: Oh, well we'll have to get you another bag to put that purse in.
WOMAN: ... REALLY??? *does "ka-ching" fist-pump gesture* I also need some boots to put over my shoes.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

I don't like ladettes but, in general, I expect more from women than men. Maybe that's my downfall. I mean, women are - in so many ways - superior to us and so you expect them to be much more than a pair of legs on a dancefloor trying to pull some fuckwad frat boy.

― CC72, Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Dan, UK purse = ladywallet (heh) not handbag.

I just dislike people in general. But the old boy standard of refusing to articulate problems is a big bug for me.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

There was a brief time in my more obnoxious youth where I would wear a second pair of glasses on top of/on the back of my head, so that I could reply to any "four eyes" namecallings with a "ha ha, actually I have SIX eyes jackass!".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

OK "ladywallet" is totally my new word for today.

A Uk purse is too large to fit in a pocket without making it look like you have an enormous ass-tumor.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Dan, UK purse = ladywallet (heh) not handbag.

CLARITY. Um, but men can have wallets too...? So I still don't understand the jealousy?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

er, that wouldn't really mean you'd win nicka

(oh wait, after rereading the thread I understand, never mind me)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Wallets generally have less room for holding stuff, and are ergonomically designed not to make you look like you have an ass-tumor.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Purses can be big and fancy, whereas men have to keep their precioussss in pocketses. Innit. Girls can generally have more socially-acceptable accessorizing fun.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

they're the REAL nerds

― Stevem On X (blueski), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

sometimes i'd lift my hair up slightly, reveal my two other eyes, and ask "wow how did you know?"

p.s. i don't hate boys, but i dislike certain groups of them-- i have a hard time getting along with frat boys, for example. but that's more their chosen social group than their gender, so whatever.

I find it difficult to believe that "frat women" could exist (and no, sororities aren't exactly the same, though they can be despicable for similar reasons), so I think it's a combo social group/gender thing there.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

While women often seem to like the guy who plays the guitar, it's disheartening that so few of them give half a shit about the little things. You know, like the physics behind why Strat pickups sound different than those on a Jaguar. Or the reason that the MXR Distortion+ really isn't a distortion pedal at all, because it's a soft-clipping device, and that makes it an overdrive. Where are the chicks who know the difference in sound between an EL84 tube power amp section and one driven by 6V6s? Where!?

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

NO ONE cares about that stuff.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

Jordan's right. Fuck.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I am envious of men's clothing options. There is so much more plain, dark coloured, well cut suiting and lovely pure cotton shirts and you can get away with wearing the same things for 100 years.

I also envy the way that men can build and keep muscle tone so much easier. I guess these are not things I dislike but they rankle.
