A Question Thats Never Really Been Answered

[nicebloke1]

Why do women moan and complain so much?

[Barmaid]

I do not moan or complain. I ask him once. It's rare I need to ask twice. As for irritating things, I take the view that if it is not going to matter in 6 mins, 6 days or 6 months it's not worth the moan.

The focus is still on the men, no one is taking notice of my post at 20.30

nicebloke - // So lets focus on the moans and complaints that you cant really blame the men for. Just had my hair done, but its not right, my new jeans and shoes i bought yesterday, today, they dont fit? I'm putting on weight, my nails keep breaking,M&S knickers are not the same. Over to you.:>) //

I'm sure you are aware of how primate groups groom each other as a way of social bonding.

People think they are looking for, and eating fleas, but in fact monkeys don;t have fleas, they are finding skin and salt flakes and eating those.

But I digress.

The point of grooming is a social ritual.

As humans, we still need to bond, but we don;t do it by grooming, we do it in conversation.

Women chat about the things you have mentioned, and more - not because they expect a 'solution', it's all about hearing themselves say the chat, and knowing others hear it, an actual response is not required.

Men do it by telling jokes, talking about football, and so on, and again, a response is not actually needed, just hearing it said is what's required.

So when a woman does her bonding chat to you, because you are the only audience around, simply accept what she is doing - socially bonding, and don't do what men always want to do - advise a solution and then move on to something else.

You just have to listen, comment occasionally, and everything is fine.

//Women moan and 'complain' because they have high standards...

Lol
And moan and complain when they fail to reach them......

It depends on what the woman is moaning about.
If she is moaning because she keeps having to ask the man to do something and he doesn't do it, then this is easily solved by the man.
LISTEN and take on board what is being asked of you, and do it!
Simples.

For those of you who think you cannot change a man, there is no need to.
He changes himself not long after you start living with him.

I am glad i am a single man. I would not like to be told to do something rather than requested nicely to do it.

[Barsel]

William, I'm sure most women would ask a man nicely the first 1 or 3 times of asking.
Asking more times than this is called nagging.
The man hasn't worked out yet that if he does it the first time of asking, there will be no nagging.
Unless he doesn't do it properly of course. :-)

Japanese scientists have invented a camera with a shutter that operates so fast it can can capture an image of a woman with her mouth shut.

If you're a woman who just got upset, remember its just a joke !

Of course there's no camera that fast.

Splutter splutter.

Shutter, shutter.

Reading some of the posts, I left out bossy, along with moan and complain.
