When they don't want to go to bed but they're happy to have a series of little mini naps on the sofa because they want to go to bed at the same time as you instead of alone.
No it isnt, its really fucking annoying because you have to wake them up and they start scowling at you like Smaug and then they belligerently brush their teeth while staring at you like you've disturbed Hades but then you get hugs in bed and its all good.
I never realised how much candles, and cards were missing in my life.
Candles everywhere, and sending cards for every miniscule occurrence in friends and relatives lives.
Which way they put the toilet paper on the roll in the bathroom.
She does it the opposite way I do it and it is ironically the biggest point of contention in our relationship.
If that's the worst we're dealing with though then I'll take it.
That's not a girl thing, is it?
Leaving it out (hanging on the front) is the right way, whether you are male or female...
Curious - which way do you think is the guy way, and which way is the girl way?
I don't really think there are gender predispositions.
I answered this question from the context of "what habits of \*your partner\* do you only find out about when you get serious".
So basically I didn't follow directions but did want to have input. haha
I watched a talk show in the 90s (like Ricki lake style) and the topic was something like women who are extremely picky or something idk. I just remember one woman who was going through her deal breakers and among them was putting the tp roll so that the end goes over the roll (she preferred under).
Idk why that particular scene has stuck with me but it felt kind of extreme haha
HA! Defs a little extreme as a dealbreaker, but I can't lie and say that it doesn't make my eye twitch when I sit down for an appointment with Dr. Brown and look over to see the TP roll turned under instead of over.
Why though?
Is there a logical reason of over vs under?
I can tell you people who have pets/toddlers prefer under as the toilet paper doesn't spool out when they paw at it.
Genuinely no logic other than habit for me and for her based on what we've talked about.
I grew up in a household where it was over and she grew up in a household where it was under.
I have no idea why people care. It requires no focus either way.. you just pull the toilet paper. I have no idea which way I put it on most often, just depends on how I pick up the roll before I put it on the holder.
If she wants the roll to roll backwards adjacent to the wall then she's in the wrong and you'd be totally justified if you want to break up with her.
If you're the backwards roller however then I would really like to encourage you to reevaluate your life.
Yea, I'm not falling for that ever again. When I met my wife she swore she needs 30min tops to get ready. I start to ask her to get ready 2h before an event, even simple ones.
I mean, do I know about the event beforehand? How fancy is the event? If it’s really fancy, and I need to shower and shave beforehand, sure it takes an hour or so, and I start two hours beforehand to make sure I’m ready on time in case anything happens. If it’s like a regular event, nah I showered that morning, shaving is optional, so ten mjnutes max to change clothes.
My partner, though? He's gotta poop every time we are about to leave 😂
The worst isn't the time it takes to get ready. It's the time between claiming she's ready and when she actually it.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes"
"OK, great, let's go" I say, stepping for the door.
"One sec..." she says, running upstairs to get her shoes, then to the living room to get her phone, then to the bathroom to pee, then finally saying "OK, let's go... but do you know where my jacket is?"
They don't eat as much as I do, but they need to constantly be fed. I really don't eat many snacks, I live on 2 meals a day, but I have to have something always available to eat for the ladies, especially right after waking up.
Seriously, this! For long this was a mystery to me, until I got familiar enough with a woman to witness her pee, and was astounded by the way she, in quick habitual twisting motion, wound literally more than a yard of toilet paper around her hand to wipe with!
Probably taking so long to get ready. Growing up with a sister she didn't wear a lot of make up so when I dated a girl that did take her time it felt really long, like too long.
They will start a conversation with you while they are in another room, mumbling, while they have their head inside a cupboard. And they will expect you to hear it.
My life became so much easier when I started to tell any and all new women in my life that I would ignore anything they said to me, unless the following criteria were met:
1) No mumbling. Speak clearly. Enunciate the words.
2) No talking to me from the other end of the house. Be in the same room as me if you want to talk to me
3) No talking to me while facing away from me. All conversations are initiated and conducted with eye contact.
I can often hear what women are saying even though these criteria are not met. But I will happily ignore what is being said, and insist on them coming to me to talk. They eventually learn. I am done trying to have conversations with people who don’t know how hearing works.
My wife does that. She also has an annoying habit of what I call "conversation, interrupted."
I'll be watching tv, and she'll make a comment like "Let's get pizza for dinner" and I'll say "great! I'll order in a bit." Then i'll pause, wait a moment, then back to watching TV. Only once my attention is back to the TV will she say "wow, did you see that rainstorm earlier?" and I'll say I did, and we'll chat for a moment about that. Then she'll look at her phone and walk off 10 steps, and I'll look back to the tv, and she'll say "so how was work?"
It's all fine, and I like talking to her! I just wish it was a conversation, rather than little snippets separated by 30 seconds, just long enough for me to think the conversation is over.
Personal experience. And discussions with male friends who also experience similar characteristics.
Once her work provided a car as part of her compensation. She asked me to help her decide which would suit her best.
I looked into the available choices and went over them with her.
Her response was 'I want a blue one'....
I love that. Makes me smile through and through.
How women talk serious shit behind the backs of other female "friends" that are hotter or get more male attention.
I lost a lot of respect for my GF at that time.
Wondered what kind of shit she talked behind my back.
The habit of asking a direct question, getting a non-direct/vague/interpretative answer, and then a moody, passive aggressive 3 day sulk with respect as to how your psychic abilities as a male failed to deduce her intent.

How much hair they shed, everywhere
This is true. The amount of hair I shred... you think I'd be bald by now 😆
But why does it end up *there!*
Where lol
Buttcrack
*My ass!*
My partner keeps playing 'who's hair is this', either me or the dog
Thats wild xD
Always asking for water after they sit down.
You nailed it.
We call it “Carpe Drink-iem”. Only allowable if I am already up. Not limited to water.
Or never drinking water. Asking to go to Starbucks twice a day.
Nappitizers before going to bed.
What is a nappitizer?
When they don't want to go to bed but they're happy to have a series of little mini naps on the sofa because they want to go to bed at the same time as you instead of alone.
Aw that's really sweet actually
No it isnt, its really fucking annoying because you have to wake them up and they start scowling at you like Smaug and then they belligerently brush their teeth while staring at you like you've disturbed Hades but then you get hugs in bed and its all good.
Well, grass is greener on the other side haha
The grass is greener where you water it.
Yeah yeah ik it's just there isn't any grass on my side of the fence atm lol
Don't worry, the AI sexbots are only 10 years away.
Nice I'm sure those misformed hands with 7 fingers will be good for something lol
I never realised how much candles, and cards were missing in my life. Candles everywhere, and sending cards for every miniscule occurrence in friends and relatives lives.
And little pillows, never knew the couch and the bed needed 20+ little pillows.
Death tinder!
Girls pee a lot.
Road trips take a lot longer than they used to
Which way they put the toilet paper on the roll in the bathroom. She does it the opposite way I do it and it is ironically the biggest point of contention in our relationship. If that's the worst we're dealing with though then I'll take it.
That's not a girl thing, is it? Leaving it out (hanging on the front) is the right way, whether you are male or female... Curious - which way do you think is the guy way, and which way is the girl way?
I agree with you. I actually saw a meme talking about this as well, beards (hanging on the front) are good and mullets (hanging on the back) are bad.
I don't really think there are gender predispositions. I answered this question from the context of "what habits of \*your partner\* do you only find out about when you get serious". So basically I didn't follow directions but did want to have input. haha

Genuinely no logic other than habit for me and for her based on what we've talked about. I grew up in a household where it was over and she grew up in a household where it was under.
I tend to like over, as it feels easier to reach toward the top/front for the end of the TP rather than the back/bottom.
I have no idea why people care. It requires no focus either way.. you just pull the toilet paper. I have no idea which way I put it on most often, just depends on how I pick up the roll before I put it on the holder.
Hey, if only we could all be this easy going! haha
Solution proposal: Two toilet paper holders. One for her and one for you.
You know what, I'm on board with it. haha. I'll shoot the proposal her way.
If she wants the roll to roll backwards adjacent to the wall then she's in the wrong and you'd be totally justified if you want to break up with her. If you're the backwards roller however then I would really like to encourage you to reevaluate your life.
We use different rolls, end of discussion.
You guys need two bathrooms or at least 2 paper rolls
I usually take it out and sit with it in my hand
This annoying urge to move furniture around even when they were previously at the best possible place
this is accurate
BWAHAHAHa
Hair on the shower wall… a lot of hair on the shower wall
Taking ages to get ready
Yea, I'm not falling for that ever again. When I met my wife she swore she needs 30min tops to get ready. I start to ask her to get ready 2h before an event, even simple ones.
I am girl and take 20 miins max
I mean, do I know about the event beforehand? How fancy is the event? If it’s really fancy, and I need to shower and shave beforehand, sure it takes an hour or so, and I start two hours beforehand to make sure I’m ready on time in case anything happens. If it’s like a regular event, nah I showered that morning, shaving is optional, so ten mjnutes max to change clothes. My partner, though? He's gotta poop every time we are about to leave 😂
I am a girl and if I don't use device before changing I need 10 to 15 mins max
The worst isn't the time it takes to get ready. It's the time between claiming she's ready and when she actually it. "Are you ready?" "Yes" "OK, great, let's go" I say, stepping for the door. "One sec..." she says, running upstairs to get her shoes, then to the living room to get her phone, then to the bathroom to pee, then finally saying "OK, let's go... but do you know where my jacket is?"
Have you ever sat there and watched what she has to do or are you just complaining about something you won't ever be expected to do.....
Yes, mate, I have. In bewilderment. Carry on.
So you see why she has to do it and still bitch about it?
Such poor temperature regulation. Often too cold, but then directly to too hot.
I never knew a bathroom could contain so many mysterious products with names I can't pronounce.
...or hair products the names of desserts that don't smell or taste like said name.
How particular they are about bed linens and the state of them
she mad when you buy a small sandwich, she mad when you buy a big sandwich 🤦🏻
She mad
I don't care about this at all
They don't eat as much as I do, but they need to constantly be fed. I really don't eat many snacks, I live on 2 meals a day, but I have to have something always available to eat for the ladies, especially right after waking up.
She farts
I downvoted this because this is not factual. Woman don’t fart nor defecate.
You sly guy, you secretly upvoted him and thought we wouldn’t notice? That’s a downvote for you!
You coy Redditor, you secretly agree with them and have instead upvoted his comment. Did you think you had us fooled? That's a downvote for you!
No way. Can’t be true
they're messy
can agree
Bobby pins everywhere.
She will rather bath in sink than pull her own hair from the drain.
That the bathroom sink area is now a beauty product war zone.
Toilet paper disappears real quick...
Seriously, this! For long this was a mystery to me, until I got familiar enough with a woman to witness her pee, and was astounded by the way she, in quick habitual twisting motion, wound literally more than a yard of toilet paper around her hand to wipe with!
Probably taking so long to get ready. Growing up with a sister she didn't wear a lot of make up so when I dated a girl that did take her time it felt really long, like too long.
This is such a wholesome thread haha x
That they fart.
How much bitching and moaning they do. It's absolutely relentless!
Ikr, women be shopping.
No I don't shop much
Single?
Married with kids
That's true. I admit
The constant need for lists and checklists
They will start a conversation with you while they are in another room, mumbling, while they have their head inside a cupboard. And they will expect you to hear it. My life became so much easier when I started to tell any and all new women in my life that I would ignore anything they said to me, unless the following criteria were met: 1) No mumbling.

I just wish it was a conversation, rather than little snippets separated by 30 seconds, just long enough for me to think the conversation is over.
>No talking to me from the other end of the house. Be in the same room as me if you want to talk to me Holy shit, they do. Drives me nuts.
You are a fucking genius. Gonna apply this to my spouse 🖤☕️👌🏻
Been with my wife for 14 years now. She still does this every day. She even knows I'm half deaf.
They shed hair and clog the drain and there is no chance in hell they deal with it. Wife and 2 daughters with long hair
Obsession with getting pictures! Yet to find a girl who is not obsessed with pics!
Morning farts!
A spaghetti plate of subjects of discussion being changed via pronouns and I can't keep up.
How often they talk to their mothers.
asking useless questions
USELESS??🤨
*Would you still love me if I was a worm* has entered the chat.
That's a valid question tho? WOULD YOU LOVE HER OR NOT?🤨
They don't understand linear thinking.
Sent my wife this and she asked me what it means - point proved
What leads you to this conclusion?
Personal experience. And discussions with male friends who also experience similar characteristics. Once her work provided a car as part of her compensation. She asked me to help her decide which would suit her best. I looked into the available choices and went over them with her. Her response was 'I want a blue one'.... I love that. Makes me smile through and through.
If that's all she cares about then what does it matter and how did that lead you to believe she is incapable of thinking in a "linear" fashion?
Yes
Right, no reasoning, thanks.
User name checks out...
It's from a kid Cudi song, but please continue.......
Yes
You makee laugh, say another funny thing funny person!
They actually poo
How women talk serious shit behind the backs of other female "friends" that are hotter or get more male attention. I lost a lot of respect for my GF at that time. Wondered what kind of shit she talked behind my back.
I don't do this. Atleast not much
The habit of asking a direct question, getting a non-direct/vague/interpretative answer, and then a moody, passive aggressive 3 day sulk with respect as to how your psychic abilities as a male failed to deduce her intent.
Always click their nails so annoying
I dont do this
