Men, do you get annoyed with women you’re not close with?

[Anonymous]

Say you have female friends. Some you’re close with, some you’re not. Those you’re not close with try to interact with you, do they annoy you?

[SteveSmith1985]

If I understand your question right, then the answer is: "no, definitely not"

Men enjoy their interactions with their close female friends, as well as with women they aren't so close with. Pretty much a guy will enjoy his interactions with ANY and ALL women (with the exception of the particular individuals he might personally find "annoying" or dislikes for whatever reason).

But if you're asking essentially "does a woman risk annoying a guy by talking to him too much if they aren't close"... then you gotta get that out of your head.

In fact, I think that guys are less likely to get annoyed by women they don't know well compared to the other way around. Women have to deal with being hit-on (or at least she has to have her guard-up in anticipation of the possibility of it) with guys they aren't close to.

For men, there's none of that. A guy is able to relax and comfortably interact with girls he knows well as well as those he doesn't know well without having to worry about what that girl's intentions might ultimately be. It's just a chill interaction that a guy can enjoy on it's own merits.

In fact, I can tell you, as someone whose had a lot of very close female friends for a lot of my life... and also interacting with lots of women I knew less-well to varying degrees...

In my experience anyway... the women who I'm going to get annoyed by... are usually the women who ARE closest to me. The ones I know super-duper well, and who know me super-duper well. It's like... I donno... you're close enough to sometimes piss each other off. And that's ok. It's never something that 'lasts'. It's a healthy part of a close friendship I think (regardless of gender/sex) to sometimes get annoyed.

With women I don't know as well... I'm generally way less inclined to find myself annoyed (unless I found some girl annoying to begin with) if you're a woman I don't know as well. That's when... everyone is on their best behavior. She is unlikely to do something that might be annoying the same way a friend would.

The friend isn't worried about what a guy is going to think about whatever annoying shit she ends up doing. Someone whose an acquaintance is going to hold back due to social norms. Also, I'm more likely to not get annoyed as easily with someone I don't know (for similar reasons) rather than a close friend. I'm free to find a friend annoying with no worry. That's not the same with someone you don't know as well.

So if anything... guys are least likely to be annoyed by girls they don't know as well (unless they find that girl annoying to begin with).

So don't hesitate to have (or increase) your interactions with any guy you know... but that you don't know very well. That's always welcome. (if he seemed to be open to your interactions in the past; which means he doesn't think you're annoying to begin-with)

I wouldn’t say “annoyed” more aggravated by people as they get on my nerves, I don’t care if you’re male or female you get on my nerves, unless you can bring something to my life ie: good conversation, if you’re boring or stupid then I will literally start to get aggravated as you bore me then.

[Asker]

I’m beginning to think that’s what I’m doing with one of my guy friends. Being annoying, I mean. Should I end our friendship?

[Asker]

Because he seems to be aggravated at me constantly and talks to me out of obligation.

[Asker]

And I’ll admit, I’ve said some stupid shit. But, it wasn’t intentional or anything.

[TheVigilantFox]

If you have a bad feeling then talk to him about it, you don’t have to up sticks and leave, communicate with him, if he says you get on his nerves then you can leave if you want to, if he doesn’t really say or avoids the question then you can either leave or stay that will be up to you to make that decision.

[Asker]

We have other female friends but he’s ok with them and not as annoyed. What are your thoughts on that?

[TheVigilantFox]

If he’s only getting annoyed with you and no other female, maybe sit down and think what you might be doing that may cause him to feel this way about you. You might be doing something that might be annoying him.

[Asker]

Oh, believe me. I have racked my brain and I honestly cannot come up with anything. I barely talk to him because I know how he feels. So I back off and keep to myself. I think we’re just not as good of friends I thought we were.

[TheVigilantFox]

Sometimes things don’t seem obvious to us at the time and we wonder what am I doing wrong, but after some thought we find out what it is that’s causing it, maybe have another think, if you still can’t come up with anything then maybe think about terminating the friendship.

[Asker]

Actually, I figured it out. I text him too much. I talk to him more than I should.

[TheVigilantFox]

If that’s what you think it is then maybe try not to text him so much and see how he reacts.

[Asker]

Plus, I’m pretty boring to talk to. I have really nothing interesting to say.

[TheVigilantFox]

I’m sure you’re not boring.

[Kaneki05]

Well there is a difference between friends and people you know. People you know are not friends for many different reasons, one can be as such they annoy you.
They wouldn't really know though because I would just lessen interaction with them to the lowest amount possible, I wouldn't take it out on them.

[RockyHammock]

In general, no. However there are yes cases. I. e. my old colleague whose an acquaintance wanted to get closer to me. She seemed genuine enough so I told her stuff. A few weeks later I heard from people that she was talking shiz behind my back. I got pretty cold towards her after that.

[Anonymous]

I only get annoyed w them when they complain about the same shit. Especially when they ask for advice or your opinion but keep doing the same shit w no changes. It’s like ok shut up now you asked I said what I think k you should do but you didn’t listen.

[OfMiceandMen]

Not at all, usually means we just haven't had the chance to get closer. I welcome her friendship.

[Rangers]

I don't have friends but I get annoyed when people approach me despite me telling them several times to stay away.

I like quiet, I don't like loud, obnoxious things like coworkers coming into my office to whine about papers ajar

[aaron210419]

Not really, I get annoyed with annoying people regardless of gender

[Asker]

Maybe it’s just me then 🤔 I don’t have good experiences with men. It’s rare for me to be friends with them.

[aaron210419]

I feel you on that especially these days.

[clampfan101]

Not in my experience. They all became good friends.

[Asker]

Maybe it’s just me then 🤔

[clampfan101]

Well if it is, that doesn’t mean it’s your fault.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t have female friends, but it depends how they act if I ever worked around one

[Mansearching]

All depends on the subject

[Anonymous]

Well yeah, some of them are very annoying.

[ilovepinknipples]

I'm not mad at women, I love them.
