Let’s face it, women have the ability to read much more into a question than is meant.
For instance, a guy asks what the time is, and she hears, “I’m
bored, I want to leave, I wonder if this relationship is working for me,
I think I may be able to escape in the next few minutes, I wonder what
I am doing here?” He wanted to know what the time was, because he
needs to take his tablet an hour after supper.
So what do the following questions mean to women?
Are you going to be much longer?
She hears :
Here I am sitting on my backside waiting in the car, while you are
packing the baby’s bag, sorting out the dog, wrapping the birthday
present, dealing with YOUR mother’s phonecall, setting the alarm and
locking the house. What is taking you so long?
Why does this question irritate women?
This question merely reveals your husband/boyfriend’s complete lack of
understanding about what it takes to get ready to go on the road. And
this is what makes women angry. Leave it to the man in your life, and
you will arrive at the party without a present, without clean nappies
for the baby, and to top it all, a call from the alarm company, saying
the armed response says the dog is trotting around inside the house and
they hope that is what set off the alarm.
Don’t you think you should start running again?
She hears :
You are getting fat and I think it is because you are not getting
enough exercise. Pick up two more kilo’s and I am out of here.
Why does this question irritate women?It
makes them feel that they are being prescribed to in how they should
look, what they should wear in order to be found acceptable. Men just
don’t understand that many women deal with baby blues or the difficult
boss by eating a second slice of chocolate cake, followed by a cream
caramel delight, rum ‘n raisin ice cream and rounded off with a sweetie
pie.
What’s for supper?
She hears: Your place is in the kitchen. I don’t care if your work a full day like I do, supper is your responsibility and I am hungry.
Why does this question irritate women?
It makes them feel as if the bulk of the household responsibilities is
still theirs, even if they work fulltime or earn more than their
husbands. Especially if they shopped for the food, cooked yesterday and
put three loads of washing through the machine in the last 24 hours.
What was your previous boyfriend like?
She hears:
I don’t like the thought of your being with anyone else, even if I
didn’t know you then. I really want to hear that he was a right royal
jerk, useless in bed, couldn’t hold down a job and generally disliked
by all your family and friends.
Why does this question irritate women?
It makes them feel cornered – previous boyfriends are actually private
territory and have nothing to do with present relationships. When women
are hesitant to discuss previous relationships, men often react as if
they are somehow being excluded and as if the woman has something to
hide. We all have secrets and private things about which we don’t talk
to anyone.
Who was that you were talking to?
She hears: I
don’t trust you. I don’t like you talking to other men. You’re mine,
mine, mine and don’t you forget it. How much did that smile really
mean?
Why does this question irritate women? It
makes them feel as if they are being treated like possessions and not
human beings. Everyone needs friends and women certainly do not want to
sleep with every man they smile at. Heavens, that would include the
72-year-old butcher on the corner.
