To respond to what I saw a female poster comment, "Men don't listen": Ah, but that is because of all the times women say "I definitely want XYZ." The guy says, "Are you sure?" She says, "Yes!". Then he spends 1-10 hours making it happen. A week later she says, "You didn't have to do that" or "Why did you do that?" So guys learn not to listen based on how fickle you are or obviously how ridiculous you are.. Make a ridiculous comment/request and the best thing is for the guy to ignore it because the alternative is to punch you in the face but that would be an over reaction and have a lot of negative consequences to the guy. He can't treat you the way he'd treat a guy who was annoying the hell out of him. But then he wouldn't be living with a dude who is annoying him in the first place cause there's way less upside to that relationship.
Back to the question: women nag more because they seldom face consequences for their behavior. Although in a relationship where the man is less open to being nagged results will be different. And I'm not ignoring the fact that some guys deserve to be nagged either. I've written about that (in so many words) in my Mytake on Leadership.

From my experience in marriage, I would say it's because the man has been talked at more often than talked to. A lot of women I know pride themselves on their communication skills and yet fail to realize talking isn't necessarily communication if only one party's opinion/feelings/viewpoint is being treated as relevant. A lot of them claim they're talking to a brick wall but disregard the fact that perhaps he disagrees and she's simply not willing to listen to another person's perspective. After a few years of this why engage with the person in conversation at all when you already know the outcome?
All of this is my anecdotal experience and in no way serves as an indictment against women in general, but I have seen this across the 4 states I've live in and in different socio-economic groups.
I think that parents tend to be more lenient on their sons than their daughters, so us women repeat what we were told during our youth. I think also that because we are taught to keep things clean, get things done and take care of everyone, it's hard to understand when men don't want to help out. I get that a lot of guys aren't used to doing these things, but I wish society could start changing the gender roles so everyone can work together :)
Probably cause for something to get through to a man it needs to be said multiple times before they actually do anything about it or even respond back. Women on the other hand just listen the first time and do it.

Some women do nag, but it really comes down to not understanding women enough to see through what she is saying. Most men don't realize that men and women communicate differently, so not understanding a woman is either a reluctance to dig deeper, or an inability to dig deeper. A lot of the time what men view as nagging, is only so because of a communication barrier that can easily be stripped away when you understand that women communicate through emotion, while men communicate through logic.
Because they don't want to take personal responsibility for anything. They want to push responsibility onto men for their own wants and needs. The ones that nag are basically children that aren't capable of being responsible adults. They just scream "are we there yet". When they get out of control, just tell them you'll turn the car right around if they don't cut it out.
Women have more expectations of men than men have of women.
Also, “Women fall in love with a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t. Men fall in love with a perfect woman hoping she’ll never change, but she does.”
That’s likely paraphrased. I can probably dig up the proper quote and source if you like.Because us women don’t think logical like men, we think with emotion. I’m a woman myself but i’ll admit we do nag a lot and I find myself nagging too much sometimes too haha, we’re emotional creatures and sometimes the way we think about things is far from how the man is thinking about it. We overthink a lot too. It’s just simple because women = emotional human beings, men = logical human beings. We’re simply not the same
Male verbal aggression against another men leads to violence more often. When men scream at other men it's a sign of dominance or a threat.
Women's verbal aggression is honed to banter at other women (more often than not never leads to violence) and/or scolding and berating children (also not violent).No idea. I basically advised my wife prior to marriage, that that kind of thing would result in me kicking her out. Tell me once.. That is it. Maybe remind me if you think I forgot, but nag me.. Never.
Men don't need to nag, they just do what needs to be done. It's faster and easier then getting her to do it. Women rather spend weeks nagging to do simple thing rather than actually doing the thing. Which is really inefficient and unproductive.
this sums it up perfectly
https://www.youtube.com/embed/W7KVrVWy6I4That's because we guys are so good st ignoring them. Plus, we know how to push women's buttons, which we like to do from time to time.
Those men won’t talk. She’s asking for intel and not getting it. All it takes is a little feedback and the nagging would not have been trained into those type of woman. It’s a bit obvious. lol
Maybe men ignore what women want more than women ignore what men want.
The desire for mental CONTROL!
Really? Women talk three times as much as men?
And the mouths don't get tired... That's like the whoo-ha.WOW! "Pussy Control!"
No idea, but that's definitely a curse whoever ends up with a nightmare of a woman like that.
Mostly for having to put up with us men, we just have different opinions on when things need to get done and women are more easily bugged by the small things then are more quick to openly express that issue
Cause women, particularly westernized women, are mental teenagers that haven't developed passed their slaggish high school years. They're retarded and only a few women recognize that.
I think guys are more laid back and dont; get hung up on little things.
Females are more 3-4 times more verbal than males. Need to fill the daily quota somehow. :- )
Because their brains are smaller and they're fucking stupid
Because we get fed up with men doing nothing and they don’t listen so we need to repeat it
Women are more verbal so it would just follow naturally.
