#Venting# Women and Cleanliness

[beavereater]

I think I've complained about women in general here before, and I am about to do it again. This time it has to do with "Cleanliness"...and how it's pissing me off.

I am not a dirty person by any means. I shower, brush my teeth, wash my hair. I don't drink from the milk carton, lick my plate when I am finished eating (Unless I am alone and just finished some hotwings...spicy)
I do on occasion where the same shirt the next day, as long as it doesn't smell Anyway, why is it that women are so picky when it comes to cleanliness. Here's where my girl is bothering me:

If I don't IMMEDIATLY put my plate in the sink after eating, I get a little lecture about how hard it is to clean. I mean, I JUST finished and wanted to catch the end of the news. "You don't like cleaning do you? That's fine with me (she adds with a little ton of "I actually do care") but please understand that I DO have to clean."

**** OFF...I clean up too, just not as much as maybe she does. BUT I COOK 95% of the meals.

Moving on, the bed...if it's left even a little messy, she gets all bent out of shape. Hey, I like going to bed in something nicely made up, but it's not gonna bother me at all if I get back into a bed that wasn't made up. ITS A BED!!

Then, when friends come over...god, PANIC is the first reaction that comes to mind. "DON'T YOU CARE that your friends are gonna see the apartment like this??" What...do I care that my friends are gonna see a dirty plate on the table, or a couple videos on the floor in front of the VCR...or that the garbage bin is almost full (BUT covered)...NO...I DON'T...and neither do they. BUT, women (and not only my girl, but many) have this thing about making their place CRYSTAL clean before ANY guests come over.

THEN...one of my biggest pet peeves is the need for EVERYTHING to match...and that matching things together has nothing to do with space or comfort. I went out looking for a new keyboard for my PC. Found one that I liked, it was a black and dark grey. However, my PC tower and monitor aren't. I spent the next 30 minutes trying to explain to her that it DIDN'T ******* MATTER!! She suggested I get another keyboard, one that I didn't want but that at least matched everything else. When I mentioned I may get a new case, the first one she pointed to was this ugly piece of shit case THAT MATCHED MY NEW KEYBOARD!! We have this nice coffee table, that has a heater underneath, great for the winter...she doesn't like the color, so we have to through it away. The new one she wants, is a piece of shit "...but at least it matches. That means it looks clean"

My reasons for venting today, is we are moving...and I have to be at work. We are moving from the 6th to the 9th floor. Not a big move. I asked a friend to go and help her. I offered to bring that friends kids to my work (I own an English school, easy to do) BUT...my girl INSISTED she would wait until I got home and that she would do it all alone until then. When I asked her why, she said "BECAUSE...do you have any idea how dirty it is now!!??" ******* DUH...we're moving!!! Anyway, I am sure all the heavy stuff will be waiting for me when I get home.

All of a sudden...my single life dont seem too bad after all.

You do realize that even if you complied with ALL of her little neat-freak requests that she would STILL find something to nag you about, right?

I love it when they ask: "Do you think I like to nag you?" You're god-damned right you do and you know it.

I can understand a chick who simply hates cleaning up after a slob of a boyfriend but it sounds like your girl has stepped up her game to a whole different level, no offense. I totally understand where you're coming from.

[tonofsteel]

I was starting to get lonely, but thanks for the reminder of how wonderful women can be. But seriously I bet she loves ya! And when the day comes to an end isnt that what matters........

[teegee420]

But seriously I bet she loves ya! And when the day comes to an end isnt that what matters........

Good point. I completely agree. But if she cheats on you, all bets are off. As Al Bundy once said: "Women. Can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em."

[tweedledee]

I've noticed with my wife that being in a area of the store that has TV's, computers and the like, gives her a severe bladder problem which is miraculously cured on entering the shoe section. It must be the radiation.

[beavereater]

I love it when they ask: "Do you think I like to nag you?" You're god-damned right you do and you know it.

AWWW...I hate that!! And she does it ALLLL the time. "You think I am complaining don't you!!" Of course it's not something you can answer. You say "Yes" and you get into shit and get the whole "I am NOT complaining" speech, or if you say "No", it just goes on and on and on!! I am not saying that things like this are always happening, it's just with me moving I am getting more of it!! I love her, but I can't be honest with her...cause once I start being honest I get this..."Fine, then maybe you should find another girl. I am not good enough for you anymore!!" This all with fire in her eyes. That's why men grunt, it's their way of not saying yes or no. I grunt more these days!!

[Will Hay]

...my sympathy beaver, your life sounds no fun at the minute man althugh I have to confess, the only thing I can relate to is not putting the dishes in the sink when they're finished with...
....I do all the washing, my wife cooks although we use the dishwasher more and more since having a second child
Oh, and if I used that much bad langauge I'd be on a yellow now (doesn't offend me man, it always adds your mood to a post for me)

My girl has the ability to brain dump her entire day when she gets home - I can only remember if it went OK or not.

[teegee420]

And how much of a prick are you made to feel like if you don't drop everything just to listen to her entire ordeal?

[FulciLives]

And how much of a prick are you made to feel like if you don't drop everything just to listen to her entire ordeal?

Or God forbid you forgot something she told you like 2 weeks ago ... or 2 days ago ... or 2 hours ago etc.

- John "FulciLives" Coleman

[beavereater]

The thing is, she gets home around 6pm...where as I get home around 9pm, so when I am winding down, watching a little TV and chowing down on some much needed food, she starts talking about all the shit thats happened in the day. "BABY...give me a chance to wind down a little and I will listen to you a little later." THEN I get made to feel like and idiot. It's almost like she has this problem with time. She doesn't understand that I didn't have the 3 hours alone to wind down that she had while waiting for me.

EDIT- I just got the phone I was dredding!! "You don't understand, I have been at home all day moving things. What have you done" WORK...MAKE MONEY SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE... "When are you coming home, I need someones help you know!!" I CALLED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU AND YOU THREW THE CHANCE AWAY BECAUSE OF IT BEING MEEESSSSYYYY!!!

Anyway, I am on my way home...who knows what kind of shit I have to put up with over the next 6 to 8 hours. Damn...and women wonder why we leave em` "It's because I'm old, fat and ugly isn't it" NOOO, you nagged me outta here!! Alright...I think my venting for the day is over, time for some prozac

[ChrisX]

Not just women. I've occasionally seen people pick their nose with a finger, then put the finger in the ear and then put the dirty finger in the mouth. So rotten filthy manners and this sickens me.

I even seen one woman once on the train used a cotton bud or tip into the ear to clean out wax in public.

Another thing, someone at home just finished cleaning up the mess in the garage. All the rubbish, the waste and old obsolete things thrown out and so much better now.

This is about time, years go by with the trash building up and this takes up the room.

This should help to get rid of cockroaches in the place and cleanliness is the best way to health.

He even bought a new Mat to replace the old worn out mat. This should have been done years ago.

The next thing, I remember a guy very dirty indeed and his apartment as a total filth and rubbish all over and I was unable to move. This was years ago.

I didn’t stay at the friends place for long after my commenting on the filthy place to him. He was too lazy and not into cleanliness. I never seen him again since.

At least I don’t have a female worrying me on something I bought or get that she doesn’t like.

I am very clean and conscious of it. I wash my hands all the time after exposure of something isn’t pure. I don’t drink from the plate, put hands in the cereal pack and so on.

I am independent just like a divorced middle aged man then no one else dictates me on what I decide, the money and the lecture of cleanliness.

Unfortunately, not everyone is into cleanliness and I can remember someone putting a hand into the packet of Corn Flakes. This isn’t a nice thought on my food.

Remember don’t put your hand in the food and use a pair of plastic gloves when in need to handle food such as meat from the fridge.

[northcat_8]

I have one exactly the same way Beaver...and it can be annoying.

However....look at it a different way....

She could be a slob and then you could be bitching at her to help clean up and for being so messy...that would be much worse.

I hear u brother. My girl tells me how fortunate I am because she didn't complain when I got a new Grand Cherokee and gave her my year old Grand Cherokee. WTF?I mean this is a year old, $32,000 car and hers was a shitbeater. She was very considerate not to complain about not getting the new one.Boy am I lucky.

[Capmaster]

Women don't have a corner on the neat market, just as men aren't the only dirty slobs. I was in a McDonalds once when this fat woman was wearing a dress and proceeded to stand up, right in the middle of the dining area, ran her right hand under her dress and apparently started tugging at her butt-crack - my guess was that something was riding up. Then she sat down and grabbed her burger with her right hand and resumed eating. I mean ....DAMN!! "A little butt-crack cheese on that burger for you ma'am?"

[VideoTechMan]

I appreciate these kinds if stories....it helps me to appreciate my singleness and living alone even more. 8) For alot of guys that complain on how they cant find anyone or are always lonely, read these stories and then you'll probably reconsider

[WishMaker]

So you guys have a problem with Women. What's new...

What I dislike about Men's habits (in general)

Leave it where it sits: If not reminded, Men will leave their
Dishes, Wrapper's, Clothing etc. wherever and the wherever
is NEVER in the sink (rinsed off) trashcan or hamper.
(If called on this, they will argue they were just about to do it)

Sporting Events: Must watch and on the best TV, of course.

Romantic Movies: Only watch with her if he knows
she will soften up and give up some sex later on.

Remote Control: Men MUST have this in their hand. Just when a
girl thinks he's going to settle for one show, (after watching it or
10 minutes) he must change it to something else. 5-10 times an hour.

When she gets home: Starts picking up mess, usually gets dinner
going, while unloading kid's stuff from day care.

When he gets home: Heads straight for the TV and Remote. (Sometimes
this varies and goes straight to the computer.)

Women like Men to talk to them. It's called foreplay.
Men won't talk to Women and don't understand why women are
pissed off and are not interested in sex.

When Men go out and leave Women behind with the kids, it's
"normal".

When Women go out and leave the Kids with the Man he thinks
he's babysitting. (Even though the kids are his.)

The Laundry: Men think Women love to turn nasty socks rightside
out. Men don't know there is a rightside out.

I gave up naggin. I find living without a man to be just fine in my
book.

[WishMaker]

Oh, I forgot...

Women's earnings go towards childcare, household supplies,
groceries etc.

Men's earnings go for his "Toys".

[hech54]

A friend of mine had an on again off again relationship for about 15 years with a "nagger" like beavereater's.

He told everyone....and often

"I should have killed her when I first met her....I'd be out of jail by now"

[Ripper2860]

[flaninacupboard]

In my experience -

His earnings are for buying petrol, paying to eat out, paying the bills, paying the rent, paying to repair cars and having to buy her presents because otherwise she thinks you don't love her

Her earnings are for jumpers she simply must have (and then never wears) jewllery that is really nice (but she has nothing to wear with) all the cd's dvd's and games SHE wants, and going out with her friends.

But that seems to have all been for nothing - partner number one laughed in my face when i told her i had fallen in love. partner number two left me to move in with someone in london. partner number three left me after two and a half years for my best friend. Sod having great looks or an amazing sense of humour, someone who isn't un unfaithful whore would be a start.....

Same here... makes it even worse when she doesn't remember that she already told me 5 times previous STFU!

RIGHT ON!

Generally speaking, that's why there are clothes scattered throughout my house. Good, good.

Sporting Events: Must watch and on the best TV, of course.

That's right! That's why we have a PVR recorder with two tuners in the living room and one at the computer!

Romantic Movies: Only watch with her if he knows she will soften up and give up some sex later on.

Ah, no problem there. We both hate romantic movies.

Remote Control: Men MUST have this in their hand. Just when a
girl thinks he's going to settle for one show, (after watching it or
10 minutes) he must change it to something else. 5-10 times an hour.

No problem there, either. Hmmm...

When she gets home: Starts picking up mess, usually gets dinner
going, while unloading kid's stuff from day care.

Pretty much. But we don't have kids, so that makes it easier for her.

When he gets home: Heads straight for the TV and Remote. (Sometimes this varies and goes straight to the computer.)

She goes straight for the TV. I go straight for dvdrhelp.com

Women like Men to talk to them. It's called foreplay. Men won't talk to Women and don't understand why women are pissed off and are not interested in sex.

My wife's idea of foreplay has nothing to do with talking. Not with my vocal cords, anyway.

When Men go out and leave Women behind with the kids, it's "normal".

Not applicable.

When Women go out and leave the Kids with the Man he thinks
he's babysitting. (Even though the kids are his.)

Not applicable.

The Laundry: Men think Women love to turn nasty socks rightside out. Men don't know there is a rightside out.

Can't help you here. I do all the laundry. My only gripe is my nicely organized pile of clothes are scattered all over the house by the time laundry day rolls around. Damned cats.

I gave up naggin. I find living without a man to be just fine in my
book.

I couldn't live without the verbal abuse myself.

So you use some other part of your anatomy to talk....? Explains a lot i guess

[lordsmurf]

One of my friends is having the exact same problem with his computer. He uses it most of the time, but suddenly she wants a black one because his mouse is black, and she likes the mouse better than the case. For some reason it has to match. WTF?

Who cares what color the mouse is as long it is working. Why don't she paint the PC as black?

Thank goodness I am single without a worry.

I have to disagree...I think my girl wants it done when SHE wants it done. Any second later is LATE!!!

Romantic Movies: Only watch with her if he knows
she will soften up and give up some sex later on.

There are plenty of guys out their who enjoy these movies just as much. And I don't know how many people HERE have ever tried using romantic movies to get sex...I think a few shots of tequilla and a couple beers does the trick a lot faster and is much more fun!!

I once read that this actually goes back to the cave man days (NO SHIT) Now obviously they didn't have TV's back then, but we all know that the way work was layed out was, men were the hunters and women were the gatherers. And although jobs have pretty much changed there days, I notice that 90 percent more of my mail friends do over-time or work under harder deadlines. THATS NOT TO SAY that women don't work hard either. HOWEVER, when am man comes home, he needs his FIRE GAZING time. Cave men used to come back to their homes after hunting and gaze into the fire while the women prepared the meal. During this time it was said that they were almost in a trance like state. This would calm them down, allowing them to eventually hit a level of comforte. THIS is why we flip through channels...it's our FIRE GAZING!!! We don't care whats on, we just don't wanna pay attention.

Here are a couple of differences I have notice between women and men...


For men, 2am is time for sleep. For women, 2am is time for a discussion about where our relationship is going.

When men want something they ask for it. When women want something they make a point distantly related to the subject and wait for a response.

Women use we or us when they should use I or me.

Women could never invent weapons that kill, only ones that make you feel really bad and guilty until you surrender

Men can watch an entire film without having to ask who is that, what does he do?

Women make lists upon lists of things for men to do when they know very well we will never do them.

But I think it can all come down to this...check out the site below!!
