Opposite Gender Pet Peeves

[MarcelineA 126]

I'm not attacking you, hun. Just curious to know your reasoning, that's all. = )

 

Alcoholism actually runs in my family, so I know the dangers of substance abuse and overindulgence. My grandfather died of alcohol related causes when I was very young. He drank copious amounts every night. And my other grandfather is a recovered alcoholic. Like I said, I'm not one to go out and drink myself to oblivion on a regular basis. (And to be frank, I wouldn't date someone who did either. Alcoholism is scary stuff.) But having a few drinks is a pleasant thing to indulge in occasionally.

 

I don't drink to the point where I lose control of my sensibilities; I'm still in control of my mental faculties while tipsy. But being tipsy is a very pleasant sensation.

 

Everything is bad when taken to excess. (Even things that are supposed to be good for you.) But a couple glasses of wine or cider every few nights isn't going to harm me. In fact, moderate drinking (one, maybe two two glasses a night) actually comes with a whole bunch of health benefits. And I usually drink red wine or cloudy apple cider, which are both noted to be particularly healthy choices.

Actually I don't have a problem with wine in moderation it's basically the only drink I don't have a problem with and no I understand sorry if I seemed angry I guess it was just the atmosphere of the night so I'm sorry but well I know with moderation is not AS bad but to me a little can turn into a lot and so on and not everyone can control it I mean (I know I did said I wouldn't date someone like that) but also if I get to know the person better I MIGHT give them a chance but if I see one more sign of alcoholism then no basically almost every single guy in my family drinks or is an alcoholic (and I don't say it as a gender stereotype I mean it like 50% of the women drink but technically all of the guys in my family drink idk why it's just my family though I know some other people have different families but the fact I've seen it so much drives me nuts if anyone was a big alcoholic was my dad and I REALLY hate my dad I can't help it I really hate him for multiple reasons not drinking persay but if I get with someone that drinks it would be a reminder of my dad and I wouldn't be able to tolerate that as much

 Here's something I kind of really hate. When a girl proclaims themselves to be a really big fan of something and it's only because they think someone involved in it is hot.

 

 I swear if I see one more comment on how Peter Capaldi can't be the doctor because he's too old...

I honestly don't have any gender specific pet peeves just ones for people as a whole. Both men and women annoy me at times. Some in different ways some in the same exact ways.

when guys spit on the floor. is that supposed to be cool or something?

[Anneal 2,197]

I'm a guy who sits down on the toilet. If I can check that the seat is down, so can girls. It's not difficult.

 

It's a toilet seat. All you have to do is look down, there's literally no effort involved in looking at where you're about to urinate before you do so. If you can't be aware of where you're taking a wizz before you pull your pants down, then it's your own fault.

To be honest...some guys have "poor aim" anyway and cause some issues.

Do you mean like indoor floors or just outside?

 

If it's indoors...bleh. Go clean it up, dumbass.

 

Some people don't like the idea of swallowing their own saliva so they spit instead so it becomes a habit. Some probably don't even realize they are doing it.

As an epidemiologist, I cannot recommend spitting. You don't want to spread diseases, right?

Question for men: Why the hell do you hang your pants like idiots and trade your 200 dollar shoes to each other then complain when they get scuffed...

 

For my lovely gender: Why the hell do you spend so much for clothes when you can get the same for less? Prom:billions of dollars. Too much of a waste. Do you need a bucking designer pants?

 

All:Why..are there so many conformist shit? EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE GOTH/EMO/WEAR BLACK/ETC.

Another person who hangs out with the non-belt wearing underbelly of society! IT'S A CURSE, I TELL YE.

 

Conformity isn't bad on it's own. Forced conformity is the problem.

 

Some people just don't care enough about being unique in specific areas of their lives and conformity is so much easier and faster. More often than not, when dealing with function over form, you're gonna get a lot of stuff that seems the same.

It annoys me how many people TRY so hard to be this this and this. Like:

 

Girls do dye jobs to make them look like they are emo, goth by dying their hair black, red, blue, etc.

They try so hard to remove tainted colors. In school, you only see black. If its not black, they are into the Scene style or steampunk. It irks me because I see they try so hard but they just can't.

I LOVED Jon Pertwee's Doctor. He was so dashing and cool! Pertwee was one serious silver haired FOX! I always got a kick out of him saying "Oh good grief" when he found something exasperating. I am hoping Peter Capaldi will bring a touch of that back. Maybe even a bit of Venusian Karate!

 

Okay, to get back on track here...

Guys calling the room where they keep their computer, TV, sports memorabilia, and whatever else..."A Man Cave"! I HATE that. It sounds so stupid!

I totally agree with this.

 

 

 

 

It's called a BAT Cave. Get right, men!

There are reasons for them doing this. Deviation from the norm has been known to cause problems so it's to prevent such things from causing said problems as much as possible. Some people find certain hair colors offensive, for example, and instead of just telling people to 'deal with it' they are just eliminating the problem. It causes some grief among those who want to do it but things could be far worse.

 

There is still a line they have to draw, however, and it helps to have a specifically defined line instead of doing it individually.

For my school, its just there. That and shoe trading.

[Eloquence 2,076]

Ironically, my pet peeve is when people say "All girls think this" or "All boys do that" or something like that. 

 

Like, a while back my brother posted this thing on his facebook titled "the difference between men and women", and it was this story about a girl being dramatic and over-analytical and making a huge deal out of everything and a guy being totally oblivious and detached. It's like, gee little bro, if you're wondering why your last relationship didn't work I think I solved the mystery  :okiedokielokie:

Yeah most stereotypes about boys or girls only apply to a small portion of them, I just can't stand stereotypes really

It's hard enough to deal with public bathrooms. Urine and defecated material everywhere on the toilet seat, toilet paper littered, and an extremely horrible smell. 

 

And that's why I never use public bathrooms anymore. Hold it until I get home.

The Capaldi hate stirs me up as well. I'm a fan of the classic series, and a few of those actors are even older. Their argument is just dumb.

 

Besides, Peter Capaldi is a silver fox. Any girl who can't see that doesn't have eyes.

 

I for one can't wait to see how he portrays the Doctor. Character and acting ability is what matters, though a pretty face certainly doesn't hurt matters. (There's a reason why Marvel chose Scarlett Johansson for Black Widow, and it's the same reason why they chose Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth... And pretty much everyone else in The Avengers.)

I'm dramatic and over-analyze everything. I must be a girl.

Never under-estimate how much practice goes into learning how to aim. There are many interchangeable factors one must take in before urinating.

Let's just say I'm really glad I'm 80% gay, seeing as I do not have the patience to deal with a life of trying to seek the affections of a creature that sports irrationality and emotionally-driven decisions, when they're at their worst

I'm curious...how did you determine you are "80% gay"? Did you perform a head count of "number of men I've been attracted to vs. number of women" and the ratio was 4 to 1?

I'm just curious, do you men have anything that you don't like girls doing? Or do you girls have anything you don't like men doing? Let's hear it!

 

But please, play nice about it! ^^

 

As for me, I occasionally go shopping with my mother when she asks me to. When she's picking out dresses or shirts (yata yata yata), she'll always hold up one and ask me what I think of it. Honestly, I don't know or really care about any of that stuff, so I'll usually just say it looks okay or something and then ask her why she always asks me what I think. She'll just tell me it was a rhetorical question.

 

 

Also, for some reason I've never been fond of girls painting their nails. I have no clue why, it's just always bothered me for some reason. xD

 

So, with that said, what do you guys think? Any pet peeves of the opposite gender you'd like to share? ^^

 

To be truthful, I'd say the biggest thing I do, that other guys don't do are (girly things obviously *the z thing with the snaps*

 

But what girl's don't do and I do is 1 I have the weird drinking thing that I do, (Apple's, Rainbow Food Coloring, and Icecream that is melted.) I put in a blender and drink that a lot!

 

Also, I can pretty much eat anything, and I don't think that's a girl type of thing to do.

 

Edit: Wait, that wasn't the answer! I guess I dislike how girls gossip, so much... (Or most do)

Yeah, I've always wondered this... One guy I know told me gave me a reason, but it was specific to him being out in the dirt a lot (a horse barn or whatever you call them) and to be honest, I quickly understood why after being there for a while. >.<

 

The spitting at random that guys do I can not understand one bit. This is gross, but I do get quite a bit of saliva in my mouth, and it makes it frustrating to play my bassoon. I'm constantly having to blow the 'condensation' out. Like more than anybody else. The first bassoon player in orchestra last year just had to remark to me "Geez, you have a lot of spit!" It was like so embarrassing! >.<

 

Yet, I never ever have the need to spit, ever. So I don't think guys actually need to do it. lol
