6 Mistakes Women Make Just Like Men

Forget to ask

We get mad when men don’t ask how we’re feeling when we’re getting over a flu, or if we are still in a major fight with our best friend. And yes, maybe women do always remember to ask men those same questions but, different things can be important to men and women. You may think you’ve covered your bases because you asked him about the things you would want him to ask you about, but you may have completely missed the stuff that is actually important to him. He may have failed to ask if you and your bff are still fighting. But you may have failed to ask him about something he was upset about last week, too. Don’t be too quick to put the blame on him, because he might have something to throw right back in your face…

    As a young male, not too far removed from college… having to work hard and pay rent, a car note, student loan, etc.  one of the biggest mistakes women make is failing to offer to handle a check.  Now I know this is a confusing… for centuries, the man has had the financial responsibility, but aren’t we in a changing time?  Women are graduating from college and earning higher pay than men, this is even more evident in minority communities.  In a generation or two, stay at home dads will be more prevelent (and may potentially save marraige in this country) thanks to the financial empowerment of women.

    There are women who absolutely refuse to pay anything despite being better equipped monetarily.  I don’t think I’m cheap, but I make a modest wage while you’re damn near a manager at Price Waterhouse Coopers, I think you should be putting a lil skin in the game.  This sense of entitlement is similar to that
    of senior citizens who are unwilling to accept any kind of change to Medicare & Social Security, both groups have not acknowledged reality.    

    I’ve often heard from women who attempt to help out with a check, that they’ve always been denied the oportunity, as the man feels it diminishes his pride. Forget that… just offer, it really shows you’re considerate and selfless. “Hey, all you had were those 3 Heinekens versus my 4 long island iced teas, I can at least cover a 20% tip.  I insist.”

    Ladies, the day I hear this, is the day you’ll have my heart.

      Well Hell I always offer to tip on good dates. But I personally can’t see me with a stay at home Dad. Nothing against them. I just see my mate as a hard working part of the work force….even if my wages are higher than his.

      Lol the modern man. I can dig it. Before I got married I was usually running into the guys that wouldn’t let me pay if I offered. When my husband and I were dating if he didn’t have any money he would say that we couldn’t do anything because he was broke even though I was willing to pay for the evening. It’s something that’s ingrained in a lot of men. Now my husband doesn’t have a problem with it but he still only lets me pay when he doesn’t have it even if it was my idea to go out.

    And here is just ANOTHER list that confuses me. While all these “scenarios” are true… what does it all mean in the end?

    I don’t know about y’all but I get up too fast after sex to pee; don’t want to get a UTI
