Top 5 reasons Men don't listen to Women!

Top 5 reasons Men don't listen to Women!

1. Because you talk too much. Plain and simple! Women talk too much. If we quit talking to them every second of every day they'd focus more when we spoke to them.

2. Not enough Sex. If women told men the following: "I will give you a blow job if you take out the trash, clean the bathroom and vacuum." I guarantee you that the house would be clean and your guy would be very happy - so would you, because he listened to you and you didn't have to clean! I bet you that he would even do a good job at cleaning if approached in this manner.

3. Nagging. I can't tell you how many times I've asked my hubby to shut the cabinet doors in the kitchen after opening them. I've banged my head, hips and knees into them for years and have gotten so mad at times that I would shriek at him. I've learned, over the years, to just watch out for those pesky doors & drawers and shut them myself...he's never going to learn and he has stopped listening to me about this "issue" for several years now anyway...in one ear and out the other. I'm not sure he even knows how to shut a door or drawer to be honest with you. It's like, once they are opened they become invisible.

4. The Computer. Unless you have something more interesting to say than what they are looking at on the computer - good luck!

5. They don't have to. Men pretend not to listen to us all the time. They pretend that they didn't understand something we've said so they aren't held accountable for doing what we've asked of them. They have trained us into thinking that they are either dumb or just inconsiderate. Most women don't even think that men are smart enough to play them. Smarten up ladies and consider this the truth. Men are smarter than we think we just trick ourselves into thinking that we are omnipotent.

Top 5 reasons Women are bitches behind other Womens' backs.

1. Cause they can! Most women don't call other women on their bitchiness. Because women know this fact they instead bitch to all their friends about the other person in a passive aggressive manner. This just makes their bitterness towards one another escalate.

2. Because of a Man! Women, even the most secure woman, can get easily jealous if another woman pays too much attention to her Man. Even if that woman has no untoward feelings toward that man, just by paying attention to him you could be blasted either directly or indirectly (as is most cases) by that insecure lady.

3. She is wearing an outfit that you don't think is appropriate for her age or size. This is one of the most common situations I encounter. I, myself, have been known to critique the oddly dressed female or the skanky looking woman in too tight or too youthful clothing. I'll admit it. Most of the time women won't go up to one of these "offenders of style" and tell them constructively that they might want to tuck in their muffin top or that their camel toe is showing during the kid's soccer game. Instead, we make sure our other lady friends see what we see and then talk about it.

4. Misunderstandings. Women too often will rip their best friends apart to other friends because of simple misunderstandings. Perhaps it breeds from insecurity and feelings being hurt. Women are complex creatures.

5. Cause she deserves it. Every so often I find a woman who honestly is such a bitch that she really does deserve whatever smack comes her way. Some women are so mean and spiteful (for whatever reason - founded or unfounded) that they can't keep other women as friends. Maybe it's a mixture of the other 4 reasons listed here or perhaps she's just a bitch - Plain and simple. You can't help talking about a bitchy woman like this. These women are usually psycho so other women are forced to talk behind her back instead of confronting them head on...you DON'T want to get into a fight with a woman like this - she is the type to get physical and pull out your extensions, etc.

Top 5 reasons Men don't have babies!

1. They can only focus on one detail at a time. As a "mom" you have to juggle a gazillion things like your family schedule; multiple kids' schedules, work, household stuff, birthdays, etc. If a man were pregnant they would only be able to focus on being pregnant...they wouldn't be able to work, clean, or anything else that women can do.

2. Ouch...which hole would babies come out of? Either way, could you imagine a man trying to give birth? It does make me sort of happy to picture though...sorry fellas

3. Pitty parties. Men like to think that they are super strong and very powerful but I guarantee you that if they experienced what women experience men would be crying all day and night, would watch Lifetime and Oxygen and become basket cases. Any emotional would be put to shame by a pregnant male.

4. The Gas. I mean really, they already have the market on farting...could you imagine how much worse they'd smell if they had more gas caused by pregnancy.

5. Eating. Could you imagine how much food it would take to feed a pregnant male and their cravings? Families would go bankrupt!

5 Reasons why watching Porn good for your relationship?

1. If you're okay with your guy looking at porn then he knows that you are accepting of him which makes it not seem dirty. He won't hide from you next time he is watching a video on the internet.

2. If She likes porn then you (guys) are a very happy camper because you know that she is open sexually and more willing to experiment and be vocal about her wants and likes.

3. Sometimes it helps you get "in the mood." Kind of like a voyeur, if you see someone else having sex you start feeling frisky yourself.

4. Porn is fun to laugh at sometimes. The acting is awful and unrealistic so you can be watching it together laughing... While you were using it to get in the mood, this is still a great and fun way to bond.

5. If one of you has a headache (ladies, you know who I'm talking to) you can tell your partner to go watch some porn. This is a happy resolution to the headache issue.
