Spelling and grammar will help people understand what the hell you're saying.

There's the problem.
Communication.

Explain to her that you really wanted to talk to her and that you were disappointed that you couldn't speak to her for 3 hours, or whatever your reasons are.

If you express yourself in a sensible manner, without getting mad, and verbalise your thoughts coherently, she will more than likely understand you, and you can avoid the situation from happening again.

Besides, girls LOVE it when you explain your thought processes/feelings to them.

Of course girls want attention all the time. You just have to show her that she is very special to you, that she is not just a girl like many others. You don't have to tell it, but to show it :S

Translation:

Grrr!! I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. Take tonight for instance. I call my girl at 1. Someone knocks on her door. I'm just going to the shop. I'll ring you when I get back. 3 hours later and I'm a little pissed off! Lord knows that if I did that, I'd be in serious trouble. And if I say nothing, I'll piss her off. Grrr. I mean COME ON!!

Oh, here's another classic: mid argument just says I'm not talking about this and hangs up. How annoying can you get? And then you end up apologising for getting annoyed over sumthing. Hell, it's like we get punished for having a penis. (note: I love my girl but sometimes..) Anyone got any annoying tales of women acting in a crappy fashion?

No, really, I don't. I couldn't be bothered to translate. I don't TXT people, I find it unsociable. It also takes longer to frig around with a mini keypad, 3 letters to each key, and some weird ninja combo to get a comma, than it does to call a number and speak.

Actually I honestly didn't understand him. I made it past the first part but once he got to the phone conversation thing I stopped trying. I am not going to translate a forum post word by word just because someone won't bother to type it in properly.

No, you disagree? or No, you refuse to treat women right?

It actually is that basic. Guys for some reason think women are complicated or impossible to understand, but it's that attitude that changes how you look at them. If you respect the person and their feelings, talk to them, don't put up a wall and say "Oh, that's just another woman thing" they'll be less likely to dump your pathetic tard butt on the side of a burning cliff with razor sharp teeth.

Sure, you have to put up with a lot of stuff like that, but hey, its worth it. I got a girlfriend of my own about six months ago, which is why i havent posted here in about that long. I've been busy. The only reason i'm here now is cause its school holidays, and i haven't seen her for like 5 whole days, and i got a bit bored.

I know what you're saying, girls can be a bit of a handful sometimes (in more ways than one) but you gotta take the good with the bad. And there's a lotta good.

I hate when women ask, 'What are you thinking?'

Because you then have to think of something sweet, or intelligent to say, when all your really thinking is whether or not your lucks in, or wondering how many teacakes you have left - do you get them and share, or wait till she goes away so you can have them all yourself.

A woman asking a man what he's thinking is risky enough, when they ask 'What do you like about me?' - It's often a good idea to just pack up your stuff and phone yourself a taxi, because women don't ask that question to hear an honest answer. When you do find someone special though, it becomes easier and so do the questions over time - maybe rehearse these key phrases so you can rattle them off machine gun style and keep her sweet...

No your bum does not look big in that.
Yes I can afford to get you those shoes.
Of course you can borrow my razor.
I'd love to go for lunch with you and your mother.
A lift? - of course, I'll get my keys.
Nah, your far better looking than your sister.
Nah, your far better looking than your friends.
Off course I don't mind sitting in with you instead of going to the pub.

Wow! What a good response. Sorry for the short-hand talk people. Didn't realise everyone had to use such good english. Heres another thing that annoys me. When you sleep next to your lady, you always have to sleep in whatever position she wants. So normally you end up with a really bad back the next morning. I suppose thats payment for what you get before you go to sleep.

if you do it right before you goto sleep she'll conk out like a light leaving you to sneak downstairs and catch the football you missed while she want to 'talk'

personally i have no bitches about girlfriends really; once you know what to do in given situations your pretty much golden
something i've noticed some of my mates do wrong is come home with flowers without thinking through a *reason* for it.

The basic rule is always just to get on with whatever you want to get on with, as courteously as possible. The moment you start pandering to their every wish, and sacrifice what you want to do, you will lose their respect and, for that matter, any joy you get out of life.

Hehe, I remember the most sexist joke I ever heard, it's a one liner but it'd probably offend 99.99% of women.

Women. If we could'nt have sex with them we'd probably hunt them for sport.

Can't remember who told me that though .

OK Van B, I post reams and reams of humourous quips, and you top it with a one-liner

I will treasure that one. I can see the next argument (about my mother-in-law no doubt) right now...

her: blah blah blah...

me: Whatever, if I couldn't have sex with you I'd hunt you for sport.

her: You best go fetch a big gun then, 'cos there ain't nothing else gonna happen round here [rocks head in an Oprah Winfrey / Trisha style, even though she lives between 2 hills in Yorkshire].

i dont have a problem with women as such, my problem is against this femenism. femenism was set up to get equal rights for women back in them days, and now women have just as much rights as us men do, so what the hells their problem? look how women are treated in the middle east, yet over here they think they're being victimised cos their husband asked them to do the ironing. quit bitching and get a divorce.

the truth of the matter is that its generally men who go out to work in some streesful office, while the women gets to stay at home and watch the tv that was paid for by the husbands wages.

so the man gets home and the woman immediately gets off the sofa and yells "OI! IRON YOUR OWN SHIRTS!" when it was the man out at work and the woman with nothing to do. moments later the womans like "you leave me here with nothing to do all day- im bored" WTF?

whats worse is that most men dont give a crap about their shirts and usually preffer them creased. it was just the woman still has the 60's impression that its her duty to iron his shirts for him, when the man didnt even ask for any favours at all.

the bit i really hate is how femenism was set up for women to have equal rights, but now it seems a woman can rip a mans balls off and the man cant even look at the woman without it being called sexual harrassment. and now theres all this BS about women one day reigning supreme... yeh sure... it angers me when its always the bimbos that say it... those kind of bimbos that dont know what the hell they're saying and couldnt lead a military attack against males if it meant getting they're nails broken.

Wooooh!! I was only saying women can be a bit of handful sometimes. I wasn't trying to launch a full blown attack on the female gender!!! El_Goorf, you should speak your views to a room full of women. I don't think you'd last too long! However i do agree that with feminism and equal rites etc. women seem to hold too much power. I mean, how many times do you hear of a man complaining of sexual harasssment?- or maybe men just enjoy the attention!

like i said i dont have a problem with women- just femenists, i honestly love women- but i also like my balls intact.

i guess one problem is the fact that men seem to fuel femenism at times by making sexist remarks like not letting them play football etc, but i dont see why femenists must then make a full blown attack out entire gender. thats as bad as saying all catholics should go to hell cos of the IRA.

Women are not that bad. I'm a CS student and a band geek at school so I don't have a girl friend , but they talk to me like a normal person, I even talk to a senior girl (I'm Frosh, w00t).

My mom though, always talking to me about her job, and how she wants to be at a stable job for a year so she won't have to work holidays and she may not be there when we get home from school....etc. etc. etc.

It's pretty cool though because whenever she's having a stressful moment she's too tired to bother cooking or telling Dad to cook so we eat out.

lol, the only ppl i let know that i code are the fellow nerds at school- everyone else i just say "yeh i make pc games for a partial hobby- in summer i do BMX-ing"

"make pc games" sounds a lot less nerdish than "i do compooter programming" and it normally impresses girls, they're like "WOW CAN U MAKE ME A GAME ABOUT ME!?!" thats when i ask them to strip naked so i can make a 3d model of them to go in my RPG.
