What’s something the opposite gender does that you find annoying?

Question

MCheetah · Accepted Answer

Almost everything. But the biggest one would probably be the double standards and hypocrisy.

"I'm 4'11 and only date guys six feet and taller."

"I'm an ugly obese 30-something single mother who whored around all throughout my twenties; I only want fit attractive men who 'got their sh*t together.'"

"I'm a pampered upper-middle-class First World, college educated white woman; I'm sooooo oppressed in America! That homeless war vet on the street and all his toxic masculinity is oppressing me!"

"What do you mean, 'what do I bring to the relationship?' I'm a woman! YOU'RE supposed to impress ME! Not the other way around!"

"I slept my way to the top of the industry and used and manipulated men to get to where I am. Of course I'M the victim! #metoo! #believeallwomen!"

"I only date tall, muscular assholes who can get any woman they want, and they all keep treating me badly and abusing me! I DON'T DESERVE THIS! Where are all the good men at? The 'good, tall, ripped, sexy, confident, but also loyal, and only interested in my short, fat, ugly-ass' men at? I deserve them!"

Using "But I was mad" as justification for bad behavior. As if that absolves wrongdoing lol. Or worse. Taking that and attaching it to "you made me feel"/"you made me angry".

So now they blame you as the man for their bad behavior. It's not like they're adults who are responsible for their behavior and their reactions. It's men's fault for bad behavior per their thought process.

And this is pretty widely accepted by many women. I've lost count of adult females, single or married share stories of things they did and justify their behavior based on how the man made her feel. And the women around them either supporting her behavior or accepting it in silence.

a lot of smart girls who have character know this to be true and sadly try to navigate it because they don't want trouble within their social circle. They don't condone the girls behavior but they also don't say anything. Many times just saying things like, "That's just Ashley"

I'll give you a few for each gender

Girls: 1. Squealing, 2. Saying "Um" & "Like" a lot, 3. Being Two-Faced: being friendly to one's face & then talking shit behind the person's back.

Guys: 1. Dismissing me for being on my period when i stand my ground (i was a line cook for years, you don't fuck with line cooks, we have a sailors mouth & the knife skills to put you in your place), 2. Treating me like I'm a pussy just because i have one

I hate when any person, any gender, lie or obfuscate their true intentions. It's insecure, manipulative, selfish to get what they want, or to change the image of themselves. Applies to men and women, young and old.

As for men, specifically, being immature, I guess. Being gross in public. Hold it together, keep it in your pants, wait til you're alone. We don't need to see it [whatever it is.]

Lionman95 · Answer

I. Girls:
1-Double-Standards: A guy wanting a beautiful girl-friend, is shallow while a girl wanting a muscular boyfriend shall be reasonable. (as an example)
2. Double-Face: Being nice in your face and making fun of you behind you´re back.
3. Girls often times don´t say what they want and make it guessing game. They think it´s obvious what they want. (In my experience)

II. Guys:
1. Guys are often good at talking and promising things. They can promise a girl the world but they are often either not good at giving her it or aren´t willed to give it to her.
2. Guys often times are thinking to much in a "capalistic mind-set" when it comes to treating women like they do something to get something (mostly sex) instead of doing something just to help/acknowledge her...
3. Guys are often self-centered: Even guys that say they have a low self-esteem. Even us we often ask for more than we´re willing to give sometimes

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

I'll do one for both.
Women tend to be more touchy/feely in a friendly way quicker than guys. I've been hugged by women I just met 3 seconds ago, and it makes me uncomfortable because I often don't even want to hug friends I've known for years. So I find that annoying, being touched by strangers. It would be annoying from a guy too, I just haven't had a guy do that with me

Uh, with guys, it's being loud. You get a group of guys together and get them slightly excited about anything, especially if they've been drinking, and suddenly everyone is shouting over everyone to make their point, or add their two cents. Again, this would be annoying from women too, I just haven't experienced that

BeenThereLovedIt · Answer

Constant (sigh) ing, combined that that "i'm annoyed" click of the tongue.

I never seen a man do it, but females seem to use it as the go-to method of telling me they are annoyed without actually saying anything.

And that leads directly to peeve #2..

Always trying to make an annoyance into a lesson, a girl won't just tell us why she's annoyed and uses words like "I'm fine" when we ask what's wrong, forcing us to guess what we did wrong..

It's exhausting sometimes.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

There are a few things:

1. Trying to be one of the boys.

2. Telling me to man up or otherwise about how to be a man. With all due respect; you don't have much experience in that department.

3. It drives me insane when women just decide to stop communicating, especially if they're changing their minds about stuff. Look, I get that you're gonna change your mind, but please communicate if you do.

4. Bickering, constant debating, and just general attitude about pointless stuff. I just don't want to deal with someone constantly antagonizing me.

Medhat-M · Answer

Here are some random things came to mind :
1-when they claim they want or prefer something and end up picking a whole different thing.. Very pretentious
2-when they use thirsty guys attention as a validation for what they do or think..
3-when they like you first and still act like you were drooling over them lol
4-getting emotional and intense at the wrong time.. Making a scene out of nothing
5-judging things by very emotional and shallow standards... oh, minorities, they must be always right..
6-and of course.. The classic bi polar behavior... Getting overwhelmingly interested in something and then just ditch it or do the opposite.. Just like that

ThatNoUVAtYourEyes · Answer

Women are all paedophiles,

Just look at how excited - sexually - they get around little boys.
They pretend to be motherly but get far far closer to the genital functions - and then fiercely defend that as 'my body my choice' (as in, my son - yes, ai will fuck him; other people's, also, given half a chance - I am a woman!)

If men do anything remotely similar, they get chastised, lose jobs, careers, families and property.

Women simply dictate only females get access to small children of the opposite gender, while they complain about there being no 'good men left' (i. e. after 19 you are too old for me to be interested in - only for money, until I can divorce you and be free to pick up young boys or children - because, evolution female rights, giving birth to a 16 year old is waaay healthier than to a 40 year old childless fool - from him I just want a house and money for my boys)

The fact that some of them say guys can’t wear this or that, while saying girls can wear whatever they wear. It’s like, ummm, that’s sexism and double standards. If it’s okay for girls to wear sandals, it’s also okay for guys to wear sandals. Another thing some of them do that I find annoying is calling random guys they don’t know hun, honey, sweetly, or sweetheart. It’s best to not do that to people you don’t know if you don’t want people you don’t know doing that to you! If it’s creepy for guys to do that to girls they don’t know, it’s also creepy for girls to do that to guys.

FatherJack · Answer

Automatically assuming the worst of men , these were my experiences as a single dad , assuming men are ALL sex crazed perverts and pedos. Not fond of people in general anyway , keep self to self & have little need for people. Never want to date , so most of the other comments will not apply to me , and so glad I don't want to.

Massageman · Answer

The thing which annoys me about either sex- male or female- is inconsistency. One minute chatting, next ghosting. Very interested, later doesn't give a darn- stuff like that.

Even in massage when I ask about pain or pressure levels on a 1-10 scale, I have to remind everyone to be consistent and not change the scale.

Not being able to take a joke. Some guys take everything so seriously and get pissy about everything. It's only a joke.

pink_and_inlove · Answer

For girls it really annoys me how girls gossip about other people I’ve always found that so annoying. And for men I tend to find girls more annoying but I guess it kind of annoys me that they have to check out other women even when in a relationship and the players annoy me as well. I still find gossip ladies more annoying though lol

Cathy7734 · Answer

This applies to both genders. I find it annoying when he is loud and obnoxious. When everything is about him and if it goes off-topic all hell breaks loose. The only thing he is interested in is himself.

Idolizing porn, objectifying women, thinking about them as a pleasurable material that is aesthetically pleasing. CHEATING, HIDING THINGS AND being detached.
Lying and manipulating women to get things their way.
Falling in love quickly : 4 girls per week.
EGO ISSUES, being proud of their 30+ body counts and showing themselves off.

Strong independent women, but needs a lot of men help.

Equality when it suits them.

I'm not a mind reader and hints do not work in my world.

You chase 'bad boys', rich men (especially, pretend rich) and then cry and blame all the men, when they use you and dump you...

Another one, if high value men slept with you, it does not mean you can have one to marry you, he just used you.

Hidden1029384756 · Answer

I feel this is a hard question to answer as no to people are the same and to generalize that a gender does it seems too broad. My SO often relies on me for her self worth. That can be annoying and draining.
