i only guilty of 6 :
no matter the ruin just go forward! a wall? break itttttt!!!1!!1
If it's man-made, its man-unmakeable.
If it's natural, we're human beings, we WILL unmake it.
I don't spit on the sidewalk, I hate it when men do that, my mate used to do it all the time, disgusting.
"They buy the stupidest of things"
Oh really and endless amounts of shoes, ain't stupid lol.
Looks like I'm guilty of all of em' except for 5 and 7
Is it good or bad if the only figurines I recognize in the OP pic are the gundam ones? And even then only THE GUNDAM ones, not any other characters.
I can agree with all of these except 10 and maybe 9. 7 I can't think of any examples of.
I don't do most of these, so go me!
Guilty of 2,5,6,8,9, and 10 myself.
1. They spit on the sidewalk - I've never done that and I think its gross. :3
2. They buy the stupidest of things - oh so my 30ft katana and golden hippo statue are stupid? Just kidding, actually I think that's something women do WAAAAAY more. ;)
3. They tell barefaced lies - pff, don't be silly, no I don't... >_>
4. They contact you even after you break up with them - I've never actually dated so I wouldn't know... =(
5. They think women who act like children are “cute” - hmm, I do think that, but I'm a lolicon dammit!
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way - I don't mind that at all.
7. They brag about health problems - DUDE! Check out this scar! No but seriously, I don't brag about health issues and I don't know guys who do that. =/
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms - I'm a cleanliness freak, my rooms is PERFECTLY clean but I do know some really messy guys...
9. They often respond absentmindedly - Well you're fat... hmm, I like yoghurt.
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time - err, I don't drink coffee and I drink BOTTLED soda, there's a difference! =)
2. "They buy the stupidest of things"Thousand shoes and make-ups are more of a stupidity if you ask me.
3. "They tell barefaced lies"
Aplies to everyone.
4. "They contact you even after you break up with them"
Needs some sandwich. :V
5. "They think women who act like children are “cute”"
No shit. Children ARE cute.
7. "They brag about health problems"
Hah?
8. "They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms"
What is concidered rubbish for them?I say their room filled with shoes are more of a rubbish.
9. "They often respond absentmindedly"
Well of course. This only applies when responding to women talking non-stop.
Yeah.. like women don't do 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10
Give them bitches some dick spit on their faces.
1. They spit on the sidewalk
There are times when you have this inexplicably foul taste in your mouth, like metal. Spitting the saliva does the job of getting rid of it.
2. They buy the stupidest of things
.... That's a little too general. What is it that they think is "stupid"?
3. They tell barefaced lies
Oh, please! Men and women tell them. You have to know how to twist the words to say something that isn't quite true without it being a lie, it's an art that men and women learn. Watch the politicians.
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
.... Girl, that probably is a stalker.
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
Not quite. I find them annoying.
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
Again, only idiots do that. Unless there's an important and useful experience that you acquired because of that failure, there's no reason not to retrace them.
7. They brag about health problems
Because that's funny when talking with male friends.
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
That depends completely on who you are talking about. I don't because I'm lazy, but plenty of male friends clean their rooms.
9. They often respond absentmindedly
Who doesn't? It's not like people have the time to pay attention to every minute detail around.
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
.... Okay, let's suppose that's true, which it isn't, so what? Are plastic bottles healthier? Is the taste that different? Probably the cans are cheaper than the bottles and they tend to be cleaner than tap water.
As a male it's insulting, i only do #10, and it's not different from drinking water or any other beverage. i fail to see how this is a problem.
Meh this shit is too individualistic for it to matter.
Who cares.
#7...but ony if there is a good story attached. also, well, most of them.
Guilty of #2 and #5, but that's all.
2. womens accessories anyone?
4. its called staying as friends
5. because its true
6. it wastes time
7. anything but acne is cool
8. only applys to NEETS
9. look whos talking
10. unreasonable without an elaboration
I must be a MAN among MEN since i qualify to the following
1. They spit on the sidewalk
2. They buy the stupidest of things
3. They tell barefaced lies
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
7. They brag about health problems
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
9. They often respond absentmindedly
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
3 4 7 and 8 are women traits too. I was expecting worse traits! Spitting, really? And women who act like children are cute, if theyre hot enough to get away with it.
#1 - I ain't a hillbilly.
#2 - Sometimes. If I see something I want and have money, BAM, sold!
#3 - who the hell doesn't?
#4 - Nope, don't want the police up my ass.
#5 - Not me, but at least those type are better than money-seeking whores.
#6 - I'M NEVER WRONG!!! >_>
#7 - I only do that to get out of doing something.
#8 - No rubbish in my room buddy.
#9 - I derrrrrrrr like cookies.
#10 - Only drink soy milk, RAMUNE and good old H2O.
hahaha! i totally agree with #7! XDD
and whats the problem with coffe and canned shit?? seriously, wtf?
#4 is just stupid if you ask me!
i mean, you can break up. ok. but not talking with each other anymore is just immature.. they can still stay friends or so??
and i never heard about #7...
but anyway. this seems so negative, but thats just cuz those were women talking to women. if you would ask men about the same things, they would also come up with such "mean" stuff. LOL
guilty of first one. again.
Im a girl and I've never noticed most of these things lol
I think i was mst surprised at 4 just because XD
Get back in the kitchen.
this list has no reason to exist,i mean,it's all true,but women want us to be that way,they NEED us to be THAT way...or else they won't be able to bitch on us,and they'll have to start bitting each others ass to get their bitching quota filled each weeks,and a week is SEVEN DAYS dammit!JUST COUNT!..hmm.
looks at those who don't have any man to bitch on,how are they?....RATIONAL!
they actually agree with the thing men find annoying with women these days!!BECAUSE THEY ARE!! THEY'RE FEMALE NO MOAR! è_é!!!
AND DO WE WANT THAT?!HUH?!
.....hell yes.
....but more seriously:girls saying "little dick" to other on teh internetz seriously need to stop taking their didlo as a reference for genuine male anatomy.
REAL ones are bigger dear.
same apply if you're a guy is suppose...replace didlo by "your partner's dick" in that case :p (yes,meaning you're gay)
My response:
And I'm trying to be more "Funny" than "Knuckle dragging barbaric ape" ok?
1. Well, where DO you spit?
2. Uh, due to modern laws we can't buy women from the slave market... Granted all those anime toys and excessive computer parts are mostly "Pointless Luxury" along with probably various swords and viking helments and rare occult books... OK, guilty. But, to the ladies; Well, you don't want to be slaves, but be nice to him and most men will be putting off lots of junk, even dear things, to buy you things, even without boasting about it or even telling you. Most will visibly cut back on the junk and when they find the one piece of "Junk" they like they'll be apologetic and try to help you get something to compensate.
3. It should be obvious why even the most open and honest men lie to women... Watch "Liar Liar" it really puts that in perspective. And, really, there's an old joke about how a guy was talking in a bar and he said "And so she went with me to see my etchings and after I'd shown her the first five pieces, she got really mad and left and I don't know why..."
4. Well, note #2, we miss that. If a woman is OUR woman, she is OUR woman! It's only bad its not that way, IMHO. If a man isn't following you, he doesn't love you.
5. They ARE:-)
6. Can't answer here, personally I'm almost never lost, even in new environments. Middle of woods, foreign countries, I find my way.
7. Yeah, it's a "Macho" thing, showing how tough you are. Its a desperate attempt by the modern enslaved, de-masculated man to replace things like spear throwing and friendly fighting. Really, if I manage a place with a good backyard, I think I'll put up targets with either bows and arrows and/or spears and just let the guys go and toss 'em when they get bored.
8. Guilty as charged:-) Frankly, what is woman for, besides...? No, really, a woman cleaning is a very sexy thing, not just for sex but for commanding affection. Again, if he's totally clean so you don't have to clean up, is he a faggot? Does he really love you? You see, letting you clean is an instinct, he opens up to you and shows in a subtle way some dependence on you.
9. "uh, yeah honey I'll talk to JR about the mutilated blowup doll in his closet" during the middle of rush hour driving when you prattle this to him in the middle of a dozen other things... Beats "WTF!?!?!" and slamming on the brakes and being in a wreck...
10. Soda and Coffee are life itself. I drink homemade espresso before bed so I can sleep.
Why are men posting answers to the list here?
Because women may want to know 'why?' to many of those listed.
many of these answers are only making me lose faith in humanity
ah i know for a fact i have these traits:
2. They buy the stupidest of things
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
(#2 depends on the girl... some might say buying a car is stupid.)
well.. men have some traits that're not understandable by women, and vice versa
1. They spit on the sidewalk
Thats what sidewalks are for. If you don't like it, move to Singapore ;). (Google Singapore spit)
2. They buy the stupidest of things
Yes, buying extra shoes and clothes to impress men who'd rather see you naked is much better than buying a game you can enjoy with friends for countless hours, or a tool you could (theoretically!) use for something USEFUL.... someday.... when you get around to it <_<.
3. They tell barefaced lies
Because we're terrified of the drama that will erupt when you can't handle the truth.
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
What happened to just "being friends" ;)? Besides, isn't it a woman's perogative to change her mind? You never know...
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
They are ;). Attractive, maybe not, but cute, sure...
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
That feels like losing! The manly hunter must always be ready to think on his feet- to come up with a game plan on the fly! All the better if you have a nearby female to give you sighs of encouragement!
7. They brag about health problems
We're badass like that. Its better than secretly throwing up in the bathroom until you end up in the hospital.
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
Why bother? It does get thrown out eventually. Why do we have to live by your schedule?
9. They often respond absentmindedly
When you say something that you haven't said 100 times before, WITHOUT inserting it into an hour long monologue about something no (straight) man on Earth could possibly care about, then you'll get our full attention.
Try this: Walk up to a man. Say "Pizza". See how his eyes immediately dart up from whatever he was doing? Now say "blowjob."
See that?
Now say "Take out the trash."
... yeah.
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
Because it tastes good and/or gives us a bit of energy to deal with all the damn yakking.
2: Women don't?!?!
3: When asked "does this dress make me look fat", then yes, lies are the only thing keeping you alive.
6: It's an adventure! =-p
8: Women don't throw away the rubbish in their closets. We're even.
9: Mmm... true.
10: Eew, no.
1. I don't spit on the sidewalk.
2. WUT? Define stupid, you whores.
3. AND THEY DON'T?
4. Never!
5. That's because women that act like bitches aren't.
6. Eh... maybe. Stubborness.
7. I broke my spine yesterday, bitch!
8. That's a lie, my room is cleaner than Mr. Clean's forehead.
9. I'm not always thinking about four things at once.
10. Ew, no.
1. Not all men do this. Get it through your thick skulls.
2. What you call 'stupid' we call investments.... which unlike you will pay out better in the future.
3. I can't explain this one. Not all guys lie though, I do know this much. Maybe you're too gullible?
4. Those guys are more than likely looking for pussy.... which they might get if you're as gullible as you seem.
5. Childish women are *not* cute... to me at least.
6. Arguing the reasons why we guys do things the way we do, is kind of like trying to argue politics with a brick wall: it's painfully obvious to anyone looking that you're standing in front of a wall, yet you insist on jabbering away at the same lame points. In other words, male logic and female logic will never mix well. Next!
7. I don't. I live in a world of enough self-pity for the health problems I do have..... more pity is not welcome. Next!
8. Much like packrats, we guys collect stuff. Because it just might have a use somewhere down the line... or it has sentimental value. Like used panties. Or something equally disturbing. Next!
9. Most guys are absentminded by nature! >< I have lousy short-term memory, for some ungodly reason, and it just gets worse the older you get. Encroaching senility?! Someone just do me a favor and shoot me in the fucking head, please? T_T. I'll waive all criminal negligence over this. The lawsuit by my next-of-kin I can't help you with, sorry.
Next!
10. For health reasons, as listed above, I do not drink canned anything. I used to, but much like our celebrated Springtimes of Youth, those days ain't coming back ever again.
There... satisfied?!? If not, then just go away. I have eroge to play, and much baby Spackle to make.
1. They spit on the sidewalk
Do I? No I do not
2. They buy the stupidest of things
Like? I don't buy clothes I don't even wear... I still have clothes that fit me
3. They tell barefaced lies
I haven't lied in 3 years
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
Sure I do....
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
>.>
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
You sure about that?
7. They brag about health problems
What? I do?
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
I guess I don't cause I has none
9. They often respond absentmindedly
Hmm what huh?
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
I drink Tea and TK sodas Sorry
#3 : they tell barefaced lies.
That is very true, and here is why : you, as a woman have your brain mounted BACKWARDS.
So when we tell you lies, like "yes, I slept at her place, but I'm not cheating on you", you actually believe us.
Whereas, when we say the goddam truth, you just don't. Like "no, you're not fat", "no you're not too old", "yes, you're beautiful" or "no I'm not cheating on you and you should fucking know because when I'm not working MY ASS OFF, I SPEND ALL MY TIME WITH YOU !".
See ? we lie because we've got bored trying to prove you we were not lying when actually we were not.
I feel bad that I can answer half of them ~_~
2.I bought Anime n Manga but I don't think it is stupid though my Mom always says it is...
5.that is the spirit of MOE the girls can never understand!
10.Coffee and Soda is life~!! Just because they can't enjoy it doesn't mean we cant!
So it's OBVIOUSLY impossible for both genders to share some of these traits?
What the hell is wrong with 5!?!
I admit to 2,5,8, and 9. Any my answer to it is, "why not?"
1. They spit on the sidewalk
Well I don't - unless it's for a good reason.
2. They buy the stupidest of things
Women buy the stupidest things too, they just buy different stupid things.
"You spent $250 on a hand-blown glass snowflake wind chime!? It's gonna be blown to pieces the first gust of wind that catches it."
3. They tell barefaced lies
We totally do not!
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
Probably because we still love you and you dumped us, you heartless bitch! *sob*
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
Kids are cute, ergo women who act like children are cute. We just like women who are innocent, sweet and pure. Children and women who act like children both activate our protector instincts.
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
That's because we never go the wrong way, we just blaze a new path. Sometimes it's a very long, very out of the way path - but hey, life's an adventure, right?
7. They brag about health problems
Men are competitive by nature and we compete with each other at everything, even our problems.
"Oh, you think that's bad? That aint nothin'! lemme tell ya 'bout MY problems!"
Besides, why complain about your problems when you can put a positive spin on it and wear it like a badge of honor?
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
Because you never know when you might need one of those things! Besides, it's not rubbish, it's all perfectly good stuff!
"This thing? Nah, it's only a little broken. It just needs a li'l glue is all an it'll be good as new! And that T-shirt - it has some of that sedimental value and stuff. Reggie Jackson once vomited on it. True story! So that's no ordinary stain, it's more like a one of a kind autograph."
9. They often respond absentmindedly
...hmm? Oh, blue.
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
And beer, don't forget beer. It's way better than that sissy tea and vitamin water crap women drink all the time.
I should say this post was a kick in the middle of my bag.
My sister met all the critera except the first one. My mom would whip her dead if she does the first one. Maybe she is a hermaphrodite.
Seeing 2 and 3 made me think less about women. What hateful comments to say. In the men list there wasn't any comment with out any base at all and based only on hate like those two.
And 4 made me laugh considering how annoying some girls can get if you split up with them calling 100 times a day just to tell you that you are a jerk.
And last is 7 that i don't understand at all. Is that a Japanese male trade? Because in the places i lived men don't really like talking about them being sick.Except if we are talking about scars and wounds and not general health problems.
The only thing i find that really applies to the big male majority is 9.
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
Because you won't stay in the kitchen.
#9 i think men are just biologically structured liked that..
yeah, just like some animals. when you talk to them, they just dont look at you.
they needa watch out for embush!
My answer to their questions:
1. I don't
2. maybe, but they buy even more stupid things so is a tie
3. only to women who want to be lied to
4. i always did the breaking part so i wouldn't know
5. well some are cute indeed, not all but some.
6. won't deny stubborness but haven't really been in that situation
7. heck when you do the working is obvious it will take a toll on you
8. it's called recycling
9. because we are bored of all the stupid things they are saying, and have lost track of the conversation
10. i still brew coffee so i can't answer that one either
inexplicable female traits
#11. they dont see much after their own nose and they dont try to understand much of the thing around them
#6 omg that's so me lol!
I don't brag about my health problem but I have to mention it anyway because I have a heart condition and people always want an explanation for why I can't have the caffeinated drinks and sugary sweets that they offer me. It's not that I don't want them, it's that I CAN'T have them so stop getting so fucking offended.
well I'm not # 1 , #3, #5, #9, #10 but the rest are truth LOL
not completely true
hehe 8-10 is true!!
I'm a man, and even I am disgusted how other men are okay with "Spit on the sidewalk" and "They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way".
Spitting on the sidewalk is just straight up nasty, because other people will get the saliva all over the bottoms of their shoes--the only argument with this is that sidewalks and roads are relatively dirty to begin with.
And I simply don't understand why other men have to be so stubborn to either not use a map while on the road or to not turn around when being lost is a possibility, let alone simply asking someone how to get somewhere as that is very useful. My reasoning for this is: Final Fantasy XII. If you get lost, you're going to run into over-leveled enemies and get your butt handed to you. You're only supposed to go where you were told to, so if you think you're getting lost, just turn back around and look for another route to your destination. I don't see what's so hard for other men to understand this.
5 - Actually, this enrages me. Maybe I'm biased here due to an awful experience with it (my room mate's ex was the most annoying little cow I've ever met), but immaturity is not a turn on: It just screams "waah, pay attention to me!" Then again, I don't like kids either, and appear to be completely immune to the so called "white knight complex" (its just a desperate attempt to get laid when you get down to it, right?)
1. because i have something in my mouth.
2. If i buy it, it not stupid even if it is childish
3. 1 lie is better than 1000 truths.
4. Just to torture them
5. Two words, Lolicon fetish
6. that means retracing to the person who gave me the wrong direction, which leads to a fight
7. Men died too early
8. one word, legacy
9. Say what?!
10. To keep the engine running, and that why us men drink a redbull before sex
If you dont do one of those stuffs, you are gay.
I'm guilty of seiz-I mean #7.
2. cause we like too.
8. i cant help it, it just happens
10. its the ironclad law
i see why my girl keep asking me "why"
if number 2 is otaku stuff , figurines , anime dvd s , video games , etc.... then I guess I have number 2
1. They spit on the sidewalk - only once a year srsly!
2. They buy the stupidest of things - so do women so it's okay for me too I guess
3. They tell barefaced lies - so do women
4. They contact you even after you break up with them - depends on person
5. They think women who act like children are “cute” - depends on person
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way - this I admit (only on the internet being anon ofc ;D )
7. They brag about health problems - umm..no
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms - I admit
9. They often respond absentmindedly - well maybe
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time - so what?
I confess i am guilty of number 2, 7, 8 and 10
Wait a second.
I'm a female and numbers 2, 3, 5, 9, and 10 apply to me.
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
wohoo! totally true!
1)... lol? The only reason woman dont spit its probably because they think it would look bad of them
2) Like buying 20 different shoes isnt stupid... right? Or buying something because its cute, or the other 1000 pointless stuff woman buy?
3) Again woman do it all the time but they are just easier to break most of the times.
4) Sorry but thats something woman do more than mans.
5) Yup, but also can be annoying.
6) True.
7) Some man do some man dont but yes its full of dumbass who think that getting wounds proves anything.
8) Its my trash ¬¬
9) Yes and then we dont really remember shit.
10) I dont D:
#2-6, 9: Pot, meet Kettle.
This is a load of bullshit.
Probably 3 and 9 are true but i have to disagree with the rest.
For #2, men think that the stuff women buy are crap too. that's just because different genders have different tastes.
1. Someone needs to clean the homeless.
2. Yeah, well Figmas have more articulation than shoes, thus have more practical use.
3. Sorry. Yes, those pants do make you look fat. Huge, in fact.
4. Give me back all my stuff and I'll stop asking you for it back.
5. I just like to be reminded of all the cute things you used to do before becoming a cold, heartless bitch.
6. You always complain about not being taken anywhere nice, so I thought we'd take the scenic route.
7. I brag about yours too, just the other day I was telling someone about your Mad Cow disease...
8. There are so many practical uses for this so-called trash though - for instance, if I keep these bottles around I don't have to leave the PC to go to the bathroom!
9. Say something interesting at a more opportune time and I'll give a thoughtful response.
10. Only those you haven't driven to alcohol yet.
+1
1. They spit on the sidewalk
I don't. It's disgusting.
2. They buy the stupidest of things
Explain.
3. They tell barefaced lies
Who doesn't? Applies to women too.
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
I don't have a say in this. Yet.
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
I do too. Well, it all depends on the entire package.
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
I haven't seen that before. Well, if you're lost already, what is the use of retracing your steps when you don't even know which way you went five turns ago?
7. They brag about health problems
Women don't. /sarcasm
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
I'm clean. Don't know about the others though.
9. They often respond absentmindedly
Oh really?
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
So the vending machines are for show eh? Not that I drink canned sodas. And I don't drink coffee.
--------------
Just from a non-Japanese POV.
I only have #8.
I'm a girl and I have some of these traits... heehee do guys still find me cute? :3
Do you spit on the sidewalk?
>1. They spit on the sidewalk
To spit out gum or foreign objects sure, I don't spit for it's sake.
>2. They buy the stupidest of things
Yeah, like women don't do this at all.
>3. They tell barefaced lies
See above.
>4. They contact you even after you break up with them.
You see, it's hard for some men to let go.
>5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
GUILTY.
>6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
Only proud, hardheaded men do that shit. They might also be stupid.
>7. They brag about health problems
Who the fuck brags about health problems? We complain about it. Nobody is going: "Dude, i have wicked blood pressure and constipation." "Awesome!".
>8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
Eh...guilty. We throw out our garbage when it really starts to pile up or attract insects.
>9. They often respond absentmindedly
This is the natural response to anyone that just doesn't stop talking.
>10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
This is bad...why?
In conclusion: Women in japan complain about dumb shit. Like every women out there.
Guilty for 2, 3, 5, and 8.

Just how many men have concisely explained, and got to the point when defending themselves, as well as the rest of our kind, on each "problem".
There's more explained clearer in here (according to responses), that also shows clear proof women do the same things we do, than there are in the other (which are primarily woman-oriented. I mean, ever see men go to the bathroom together and chat about their wallets or something; or gossip about their dates?).
Women, why with all the lying and dodging the questions? What do you fear? Actually liking us for once?
If men are such pathological liars (as it seems implied); then how come we're so honest about it? Wrap that around your head for awhile.
We're all liars; but there's a difference between telling the truth (which is often used as a weapon; which is actually a form of lying), and being honest (which is direct, making clear what isn't; even if it is in the guise of a lie). It seems men are actually more honest than women; though women claim to tell the truth more often.
Is any of this making sense? I'm trying to speak both languages here (male and female).
I guess a way to put it is; if we don't answer if you look fat or not; we're honest about it (IE- you don't look fat, but any which way, our answer doesn't mean crap; therefore, no answer IS an answer. The honest one.). You insult our lifestyles, you're telling the truth. (Sure we have a sad existence from the looks of it; but you're denying how sad your own is when you say so (superiority complex much?). Therefore, you lie when you speak the truth.)
I hope my sense of logic isn't too mind-boggling. Like I said, I'm trying to speak both male and female languages here. It's harder than it sounds.
We can deduce why Japanese girls get on so well with gaijin men now- the gaijin men on here all have different annoying qualities to the average Japanese man it seems.
1. They spit on the sidewalk
never did it, I think it's gross
2. They buy the stupidest of things
that goes both ways :D
3. They tell barefaced lies
so do girls
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
this too
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
and women did it so they can get stuff from us guys
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
and girls never admit they have 'problems'
7. They brag about health problems
never knew about this :P
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
what they called rubbish, we call important note that written in the corner of some paper hastily
9. They often respond absentmindedly
lol, THIS is a problem?
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
only boys do this, we 'men' knows how hazardous soda coffee really is
#5 is only true for Japan. Most men in civilized countries do not think like that.
This applies mostly to Japanese men some of them are worse than women.
1. They spit on the sidewalk: You got to spit you got spit sure as hell that I'm not swallowing.
2. They buy the stupidest of things: That works both ways.
3. They tell barefaced lies: Because you can't accept the truth.
4. They contact you even after you break up with them: We can't be friends at least?
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”: You can feel easy with them. Than you got ones that are so serious it's not funny or cute.
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way: I got nothing for this.
7. They brag about health problems: It's a medal of honor I got a scare or an open wound there is a awesome story behind it or funny either way works.
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms: Define rubbish?
9. They often respond absentmindedly: BLAH BLAH BLAH... You got to tune them out once in a while
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time: It's how we stay awake.
Top 10 Female Traits Which Make Men Say “Why?”
1. Nitpick
2. Nitpick
3. Nitpick
4. Nitpick
5. Nitpick
6. Nitpick
7. Nitpick
8. Nitpick
9. Nitpick
10. Not Enough Sex
lol none of that aplays to me expect no 1
Oh, this is funny...
I see most of these working both ways, and they are somewhat probable at least. (Answers in these)
1. They spit on the sidewalk
(And you don't? If we keep our mouths shut for too long, spit accumulates. We may also have something in our mouth at the time that we don't want in there anymore, and don't want to swallow it (like, let's say we're chewing our fingernails or something. We don't feel like having a sliver of nail spot-wielded to the back of our mouth. Spitting out a mint before it's noticed.))
2. They buy the stupidest of things
(Matter of perspective. Sometimes the most pointless crap we find, can become the most effective MacGuyver multi-tool we can think of; or the most easily entertaining thing we can find; Like a Slinky, for example (the metal kind, not the crappy plastic ones). That is, unlike a Prada bag (which is pointlessly expensive, and is a tiny purse only capable of fitting a designer wallet; and is only there for other girls to squee about (look at #2 in the other list). I mean, what's the point?). You think our crap is stupid; I'll admit, sometimes it is, but at least we think it's fun (and plenty cheap too).)
3. They tell barefaced lies
(Untrue. We talk out our ass; not barefaced. You got it wrong. And if anything... AND YOU DON'T? Why should we be the only ones to get in trouble for that? BTW, ever take a good look at #9 in the other list, or #4? And what of #3? You say you'll freshen up or some cliche like that, and you gossip like no tomorrow. We ask what took you, and you say it was your period. Funny, I'm not dead yet; and you haven't had depression last I checked.)
4. They contact you even after you break up with them
(It's a little something called courtesy. Learn it some time. (and yes, I'm aware the irony of the statement.) At least, those of us who are not complete assholes do this; and yes, out of courtesy. The real assholes have a kill-counter like you do.)
5. They think women who act like children are “cute”
(Depends. Refer to the list on women for the crap we can't stand. We don't mind childish; we just don't like "Girl Power" mentality. Ever wonder why "No gurls allowed" still seems to hold some relevance. It's because there's a difference between a girl and a gurl. A girl is a girl, is a girl, is a girl. A gurl however; how should I explain it... are half the age of a girl minus the maturity of a woman; put that into a woman now, and you have MTV, VH1, and E!, and just about any reality TV show. To better define a girl: someone who can take a joke, and when being pushed over, think of it as us liking you. Playfully, not abuse. Learn to tell the difference.)
6. They refuse to retrace their steps when they go the wrong way
(You don't seem to understand. We operate on a trial and error basis. We prefer learning the hard way. The scars of experience.
BTW, I don't recall you retracing either, unless it was something that somehow supported a stereotype (go figure, it DOES happen).)
7. They brag about health problems
(Wrong. We brag about SURVIVING them, how much our bodies can handle, the sheer willpower it takes to down something that'll make a normal person suffer indigestion just by hearing the name of the feast; as well as adding challenges against each other that only one of godly fortitude can handle. Ever hear of the pizza-bacon-burger? The cheese-filled-bacon-weave? The Turbaconducken? Those are edible challenges... that feature bacon. Fuck it, bacon is always a core component to anything awesome.)
8. They don’t throw out the rubbish in their rooms
(We're packrats, simple enough. BTW, look who's talking miss "closet queen". Stereotypically, you require a walk-in, and even that isn't enough. There are thrift stores that you can get SOME cash back from your stuff too and-- HEY!!! Give that back!!! Throw something of yours in there as well at least! And at least equal in value (sentimental and actual), none of that used vanity crap that sell for pennies, just so you can clear your desk for more of that crap; whereas I have to sell my computer. THAT'S NOT EQUAL!!!)
9. They often respond absentmindedly
(At least we don't respond in obscure ways that make you go through a million retranslations just to get it wrong anyway. Unlike the #9 (gorram 9) in the other list. BTW, reason our responses are so absent-minded is because of YOUR #9s.)
10. They drink canned soda/coffee all the time
(Yeah, so? Like you don't?)
So yeah. If I can explain a good detail these "major problems about men"; at least explain yours. I went into detail; so I figure it's high time you went it detail as well. Let's end that gorram #9 in our list once and for all.
Men from countries other than Japan are not like any of the above at all. Except for number 8. Women are also guilty of number 2. For me (I'm a guy) women who act childish are probably "retarded" and "not cute". Women might think that men don't think but the truth is that there are a lot of things in our minds that we just want to keep to ourselves and responding "absentmindedly" will discourage further inquiries about our thoughts. Men are not comfortable with expressing their emotions since this is seen as a weakness by other men, it doesn't mean that we do not feel. I think this is universal.
P.S I am not againts women but I think a lot of women think that they know a lot about men which is not true.
Compared to the other poll where men were asked about women, the answer to these my dear women are more logical.
1. Okay I admit this is rather senseless
2. Isn't it just our preference of what we buy.
3. Okay this is a generalization...not all men tell bareface lies. What type of men are you hanging out with?
4. Isn't it okay to be at least just normal friends with someone you know. Networks people. It's all about social networking.
5. Answer: Japanese men only. And You're wrong it a moderation between acting like a child and an adult. If women totally act like children its annoying to us men.
6. We don't really remember each step we take. How can we retrace our steps? It's time consuming
7. We men ask you again, just what type of men are you hanging out with?
8. Either we don't organize our information such as that piece of crumpled paper may be actually an important memo, or the room of the guy you went out with is a slob.
9. Um...how is this inexplicable? Doesn't that usually mean the guy is either bored, feeling ill, tired, or depressed
10. I really don't see why this is such a hard thing to understand. You Japanese have a huge work load right? Caffeine, its all about the caffeine in the coffee or soda. It keeps us awake. I hope all the women have now become enlightened.
2 3 4 and 9 are more commonly women's traits. And if i answer absentmindedly then its because the question is stupid and i can't be bothered to waste time answering :)
#9 - so true lol
I only do 4 and 9.
4: I become emotionally attached to the person, and was unprepared to fill the hole in my heart.
9: I'm extremely scatterbrained. I do listen when a woman wants to talk about something, as opposed to just talking for the benefit of talking.
Then again, #9 is usually toward my mother because I really don't care about what she has to say; our personalities are so distant.
Totally guilty of number 10. My teeth probably hate me.
I don't see why they are complaining.. They see to like guys who do all that.
I'm slightly guilty of #10. I don't drink it all the time, only with meals.
And I'm still single so there you go. They might complain, but I don't see them looking for a better guy.
1. I don't spit
2. WE buy stupid things... I can name a lot of things women buy that are stupid.
3. Again, not just us. Women tell men a lot of things when one thing when they really mean something else...is that not a bare faced lie?
4. Same as above, not just us.
5. I think women who act like children are crazy. Most of them tend to be immature. (or at lease the ones I met)
6. A lot of men have too much pride and hate to admit they were wrong. Not me.
7. Who brags about a health problem? I don't.
8. I actually know a lot of guys that are neat freaks.
9. The only one I can't say anything about. lol.
10. How does this make it on the list. Isn't there worse trates then this?
At lease this list only applies to Japan's residential men...Look at the list for women from Japanese men...You could take that list ANYWHERE!
#8 I always clean up my rubbish but I do sometimes leave tools lying around.
Maybe they can't tell tools and auto parts from trash.
