Burping Loudly and Finding It Funny

Okay so we all burp, it is a natural process but the majority of women try not to do this in public or if we do we make sure it is quiet. A lot of men seem to make their burp as loud as possible and not only do they find it hilarious but the rest of their male friends do too. I have yet to be enlightened by why this is funny.

How can men spend hours and hours shopping for unnecessary and often expensive gadgets, yet when they hear the words shopping and clothes together they suddenly become deaf? Even if they desperately need a new shirt they will put it off until the very last moment. They will try to get someone else to shop for them or when they do step foot, heaven forbid, into a clothing department they tend to grab the first item they see, buy it and out the door in under five minutes.

Many men even if they know that they are unable to do something, even if they have spent hours trying will refuse to ask for help and hire a professional. In the majority of cases Do-it-Yourself translates to Destroy-it-Yourself, in my opinion if you are struggling ask for help.

Ladies how many of you have sat in the car with a man, who is driving, you are blatantly lost as you have driven down the same road now ten times and they still refuse to ask for directions. The only response that you receive is “I know where I am going; I do not need to ask anyone”. In my opinion this can be one of the most frustrating male habits.

Bringing Strange Things Home with Them Whilst Drunk

For some strange reason when guys go out in groups and have a bit too much to drink they bring home random items, I have never known women to do this. A couple of examples of things that I have known guys to bring home are; a dressing gown that someone had left in a pub, a couple of traffic cones and a random poster.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Inability to Sympathise

How is it that when we are feeling ill many men are unable to sympathise, or help out, yet when “man flu” rears its ugly head we are expected to feel sorry for them? Many of us when ill do not expect someone fussing over us but a little bit of help would not go amiss, when man flu appears it is as though they are dying and unable to lift a finger.

Leaving the Toilet Seat up

In most cases men lift the toilet seat up to go to the toilet, so why can they not remember to put the lid down again straight afterwards. It is as though they experience a complete mind blank and forget how things were before they arrived. This only takes a split second to complete and causes a lot less hassle if they have a female partner.

There you have 7 male habits we will never understand and I guess that we just have to learn to deal with that simple fact. Males and females are both very different and I am sure that there are certain things that they do not, and will not ever, understand about us. What annoys you?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

The controversy of toilet seat can be traced back to the nature of Mars and Venus. Venus has a need to express beauty. Mars has a need for practicality. Toilet for Venus is associated with grossness, nothing to do with beauty (although I guarantee you, you need to detox all the grossness from your body if you want to exhibit true natural beauty), therefore Venus want to cover it up just like Venus want to cover her pimples. Mars is aware of the grossness of toilet, but for practicality, every time you need to pup, whether you're Mars or Venus or transgender, you must open the seat. So, why not just leave it open, that's the mindset of Mars. Now, if you all really think about it, this is just a small issue, not as if it's the end of the world if the toilet seat is not closed. If the toilet is gross for you, let me tell you that closing the toilet seat is still gross. It's the same if you sweep dirt into the below of your carpet, you still have dirt in your home. Not seeing the grossness doesn't mean the grossness is not there. The problem is in your mind, the association of closed toilet with cleanliness. If you have made up your mind (being programmed or hypnotized) as a rule that closed toilet is clean, then the urge will stay there in your heart. And when you worship that subjective rule (the subjective ideal idol you raised into the law of life), then if the situation is different from your perception of what must've been, then you suffer. That's the nature of suffering, attachment to a subjective self made rule which in reality only put ourselves into a self made "prison". Many of this man made rules aren't necessary, but those who live inside Plato's cave don't know better option. Therefore, know thyself, and you'll be free from unnecessary self made prison. Then you'll be able to pursue the true substance of real cleanliness, not self convinced Ostrich cleanliness.

I believe that women are perfectly capable of seeing that the toilet seat is up and putting it down for themselves. They don't need some big man to do it for them.

@ No.1 - leaving the toilet seat up. i suppose men could be a pain in the arse to women as to the the reason that they leave the toilet seat down after they finish utilising it. if men want to go to the toilet - they lift it up. if women want to go to the toilet - they pull it down. why should it be that for a man to go to the toilet he must lift the toilet seat up as well as put it down whereas in that case a woman would not have to do anything?

Lol I understand all of these perfectly. They can be annoying at times, but it's all good.
