GraceMae View Profile History	What Men Need to Know about Women Posted : 21 Jan, 2010 08:38 PM Does it "irk" a woman when... He doesn�t listen, or gets easily distracted and corrects her? He takes her feelings literally and corrects her? He thinks she is asking for solutions as he�s always giving advice? What are your thoughts? What turns you off? ~ GraceMae Post Reply

In other words, not being clear about his intentions. Are we friends and that's it or are you interested? Just be bold and speak up so we know what you're thinking - we can't read minds people. :glow: Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	What Men Need to Know about Women Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 09:15 AM I agree totally with Prov Lady. Another big one for me is when a guy can't quit joking around long enough to carry on a normal conversation. That's a sign of immaturity to me, but I know older men who do that nonstop. Post Reply

It is really important information and I'd like it down for prosperity's sake. I'll keep the microphone as incospicuious as possible. Just stare at the Moosehead on the wall and speak into the lamp. Thank you Post Reply
View Profile History	What Men Need to Know about Women Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 03:54 PM Does it irk me when...... He doesn't listen? YES Gets easily distracted? YES Corrects me? Depends on the circumstances Takes her feelings literally and corrects her? YES Thinks she is asking for solutions as he's always giving advice? YES YES!! But, this is easily corrected with communicating "Honey, I just want you to listen right now - not fix it for me." What turns me off? I'm going to presume you mean in a husband. Well, a non-christian - I have no wish to be married to one. Someone who thinks of himself more than others. Someone who is more interested in hobbies than family or husband-wife time Too much sarcasm (yes, there is an acceptable level) I'm sure there is more, but those are the top ones. Did I speak into the moose head loud enough for 'ya? :laugh: Post Reply

GraceMae View Profile History	What Men Need to Know about Women Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 04:38 PM Well.... what gets me is when a man wants to point out all your "flaws", everything wrong with you like he's God's number one man in the "Flaw-less" mens club! Men keep looking for that perfect woman with everything in place and together. It's a fact we don't come all perfected, at least I don't. Another is, meeting a man who knows I am a Christian, and he is too- or professes it, but he still tries to test the pre-maritial sex waters. I don't like that. That's a turn off for me. I want the spiritual, Godly man to show me he respects that, and while he has flesh that gets aroused, he needs to respect my feelings about it, or either come clean and admit if it's something he just can't do, then we can just be friends... or not be friends. Period. Then, the other thing that gets me is a man who after they think they've got close to you, want to know your every move, where you been, what you doing kind of thing. My job is a little wierd with different hours sometime, and the last thing I'd want is my special man trying to confirm where I am, or question where I say I am, or even waiting outside my house looking or waiting for me. A serious trust issue or insecurity issue I'd say. Anywho... figured I needed to add mine since I started the thread. Thanks for participating ladies (and men too!) Ahhh... it felt good to release!! :yay::dancingp: ~ GraceMae Post Reply
View Profile History	What Men Need to Know about Women Posted : 22 Jan, 2010 06:10 PM i just had this, not so much as i was getting "irk'd", but rather he was getting "angry".... i was explaining that when a divorce happens and the guy has a military ranking like a coloniel, he worked on it throughout the marriage, he has that at the end of the marriage; whereas, I, may have years of experience at jobs, but there was nothing i worked toward to reflect a ranking- 5 years of bookkeeping is equal to 10 years o 20 years. That is why spouses should get a compensatory settlement for that value... because the spouse created a support network that allowed the soldier to get the many promotions of rank. He was getting angry (he is going through a divorce and an Army LTC) as his spouse is asking for $$. so i agreed with his wife's position and he did not want to discuss it. SO, i admire the ability to "discuss" issues and consider my position or his position and possibly may need to change or at least have the ability or willingness to be enlilghtened-to see another side and give it value. I actually like it when i seem to be set with the "right" opinion, and through discussion and shared thoughts, my "right" opinion starts changing, and my whole paridigm has changed... thus changing some other beliefs of mine as well. No, not that i like it, i love it when it happens! Post Reply
