What do you do when a girl starts complaining...

+1. There you go. Additionally here are the following Man Laws.

107a. All explanations may be “ignored” with a pre-established gesture that is understood by both parties (for instance, holding up one finger, or a palm facing the speaker).
108. man shall never consider any issues, rants and /or problems that any non-man may if they are more than 48 hours old. The "we need to talk" game can only be played with current issues.
108a. A man may, at his discretion, consider non-man problems older than 48 hours if said problem involves a possible visit from the in-laws, and or is beneficial to said man.
108b. Man may also consider non-man problems if make-up sex is possible.

You really need to put all these on a website and link it to the maddox site.:D
 
If she complains too much I will quickly change the subject to me. I do this when it becomes painfully obvious that she is trying to friend me and I realize the booze I've been feeding her is only making her cry more about what a p**** he is. At that point I typically start talking about myself. Obnoxiously so...
No offense to the ladies who might wander in but Jesus Harold Christ! What makes you think that a guy who is super nice to you and gets dressed up really nice only wants to be your sounding board/friend?!? I mean, a gay guy, sure. But a straight guy is not interested in being your sounding board...that's why you have girl friends. We don't want to be a girl friend.

Of course that would be a nice thing to do, and it's understandably the way most woman would respond.

However, I'd love to see the responses from the same women who responded that way when asked the question "What do you do when a man starts complaining". I'd bet my house the responses would be much closer to:

- "Oh, like YOUR life is so tough!"

- " What makes you think it's about YOU?!?!"

- "Cry me a river, Mr. Youhaveitsobad!!!"

- "Be a man, stop your whining!"

- "Boo hoo! Did you ever think what it's like for me?!?! Remember the time you <something he did 27 years ago>..."

- "Typical man!!! You think the world revolves around you?! You think it's just going to stop because you got your feelings hurt?!?!"

:D

:hiding:

i dont know what girls you know, but i only know one who would ever even think something like that...

Rather than say anything that will start a fight and derail the thread, I'll just say I have quite a bit of first hand experience dealing with that kind of double standard in my past. I also have the second hand experience of seeing friends who went through it with wives and girlfriends.

No, I'm not saying all women are like that. But just like there are a lot of men out there that are players and dogs, there are just as many women out there who assume a relationship is all about them and/or are attracted first to a guy's money. In other words, neither sex is perfect.

Besides, I did also include a smiley in that post. :D

And the proportion of good guys:good girls/ bad guys:bad girls is equal.:)
 
I turn on my head music... Usually all i hear is clown music... tan tadararadantada tara tara taaaanaanannaanananannadada...

Sometimes when she stops talking and looks like she wants me to say something, i say "you are right, it's pretty sad." That covers all grounds right there, either she is right to be a biotch and other party is a sad excuse for * or she is right and the story she told me is sad...

Hey what a coinkindink. I have a constant loop of circus music running through my head. Dooooo doo-doo-do dum-de-doo-do-dum.
