Subject: Things you don't understand about the Opposite Gender
Maybe this has already been mentioned...but whatever. I hate those sort of girls, who are usually the shallow type, who if they see something they like, they jump really quickly, screaming, flapping their wrists ¬¬ I fething hate that with a passion. JUST SHUT THE FETH UP AND STOP FLAPPING!

They generally don't like pink, spending lots of time with their partners and finding time to make moments special for the relationship.
Wait.. I think I'm doing this wrong.
Nope you are doing it right..... Of course, men do not understand why women dislike football (it comes on at most three days a week), beer, and our rough and tumble friends.
But try to change the channel while a woman is watching one of HER shows that are on daily, or keep her from chatting with her friends over drinks or coffee.........

Being told to do one thing and then being yelled at for doing it. Seriously, we had a plan then you stopped communicating in the middle of it, then you yell at me and accuse me because I didn't show up uninvitied on a day you specifically told me you weren't able to see me.
Absolutely hate that. If you want something say it. If I ask, confirm, then double confirm something don't come around and bitch at me for not doing something you told me not to do.
The light thing is aggrivating as frick. Apartment with 3 people, two guys and a girl, and we ran over on our electrical allowance for the month. I gave up my mini-fridge (college apartments), unplugged everything except when strictly necessary, switched to battery clocks and the other male did the same. The female? Tv is on, all 3 lights (bed, bath, and closet), radio, mini-fridge (which she refused to give up) and a desk lamp are all on while she's at work. Guess who paid 66% of that bill? This is after getting yelled at for having 'too much on' due to being able to hear my fans out in the living room. (fan, ceiling fan, and computer isn't too much to ask for right?)
Gossiping and being in other peoples business is irritating as hell, and giving away information given in confidence is asking to get your ass beat.
Then again, I assume there is better in this world than college drunks and whores. Who knows, maybe one day I'll actually meet a real woman.

Indeed, my fine chap. I work in a place with 20 girls to four guys, and thats being generous. I hold the door open for all the girls and generally be chivalrous, but I think five of them think I like them....
Also, has anyone ever had a girl set up a "bodyguard" at a dance, simply because you said "hey" to them a couple of times?

That's the olden days, now holding the door means that you think she is weak and powerless, you have no respect for her and must lord your masculine superiority over her.

Unless someone is being overbearing I think the whole "bodyguard" thing reeks of being a beeyatch, if I'm honest.
Hasn't happened to me, but I've seen it happen, and I don't think there's ever been a case where it was more necessary than maybe just her saying "I'm not interested, thanks." See my post earlier about manners.

Fair enough, though there was no disinterested glances. She freakin stares at me. And she constantly tried to pick a fight with me over the stupidest little things.
It's that church girl I was talking about in another thread. One day, since my mom was teaching her CCD class, I walked down to their room and asked if it was time to go. My mom asked me what time it was, I told her "It's 7:52", and Church Girl looks at me and says "My Clock says 7:53". I reached into my pocket, pulled out my Pocket Watch, and showed it to her "7:52". I put it back into my pocket, pulled out my phone and said "7:52", and she looked at me like I had just ran over her dog......

She, but I just don't understand the whole point of it; she loves my mom, she hates me, she can't take her eyes off of me when she is facing my direction, but when her back is turned she wont turn around to save her life, and she seems to like yelling at me for the dumbest things.
Hell, she had English class after me during my senior year, and I would write random things on the Chalkboard, nothing to do with her, me, or anything, but the first time I did it "Oh, well, who did that? Oh, I know! SLAAAAARG!"

Yeah... about that.... I only saw her at Church and during the lunch period. Had a Study Hall with her, but we didn't really talk that much. She did NOT like my answer to "Why do people close thier eyes when they sneeze", though.
I said that it's because if they didn't, their eyes would shoot out of their sockets, and in order to see, you would have to hold your eyes in your fingers while they are still connected to your skull through the sockets. That kind of grossed her out

When you add alcohol to the mix it becomes terribly necessary :/ Some dudes can't take a "no."

Not if its your garage door, with a dirty mattress just visible inside.
Which brings me on to a thing I don't understand about the opposite gender: Why do they struggle when I'm duct-taping their hands together and shoving an amyl nitrate-soaked orange into their mouths?
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

The light in the hall way, the light in the laundry room, the light in the guest bedroom, all of the light in the guest bathroom.... etc etc..
Sufficie it to say I pointed out to her that there was only three lights in the whole house not on.
The light in my walk in closet, the light in the stairwell and the light in the refrigerator.

Yes only women do that, and if by women you mean every teenager ever born too. The hunchback of Castle Frazzled routinely wanders its halls turning off lights, yelling "hey turn off the lights! I havge to pay for this!" No one listens to poor Frazzled. Plus you have to watch the blankets on the sofa, because sometimes they contain foul little demons that will growl at you if you touch them.

I was like wow, where i grew up you held the door for anyone behind you, male or female, its just a courtesy...

B) Getting involved in other peoples business.
I have no clue on reality TV shows, but then, I'm a huge nerd, so I'm hardly a good person to ask. But on B... I care about my friends, and want to help them. I dunno what else to say? Humans are social creatures regardless of gender, with that trait being expressed slightly more strongly in women (but the difference is not necessarily as great as people might want to believe, especially in modern times).
My liking to socialize is probably why I post here so much, despite my nerdiness. Or perhaps because of it. Or in spite of it. Or all of the above.
Something I don't understand is why men seem to think that women can't also be nerds.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Because you're all bleach blonde, watching Jersey Shore, and drinking bud lite at a dance club?
At least, that's most of the women I've run into around here. I suppose all the cool nerd ones are too busy cloistered in their impenetrable fortresses painting amazing Warhammer armies when they're not at work for NASA. Or something like that.
