Who is a bigger pain in the butt in a relationship the man or the woman?

No, no, no. You got it all wrong, baby. It’s not how it looks.

I mean, she just stopped breathing, and I happened to catch her as she was passing out and falling down. I had to start mouth-to-mouth right there standing up, see…

Assholeism is not gender specific.

If you don’t already know what’s wrong, then I’m not going to tell you.

Exactly! We’re punished for ignorance as well as impoliteness.

looks sheepish Yeah, I did this once, long ago. Sorry. In my defence, it has been a never-ending source of amusement to him.

Let’s not forget the importance of the lunar cycle to this discussion. At least once a month, the bigger pain in the butt is clearly the

Me, definitely.

:smiley:

I have woken up furious at my boyfriend for something he did in my dream…and then I look over, realize he’s asleep and it never happened…

And then I have that curious sensation of still being mad, for absolutely no reason. Who gets mad about something that never happened?

To be fair I’ve also been horribly upset by dreams (not necessarily involving my boyfriend) and even when I wake up, I’m still residually upset by the idea of whatever it was.

And when my boyfriend DOES wake up, I always make sure to tell him how his Dream Self screwed up and made me furious, and we laugh about it.

Re: the OP, it all depends on who emptied the dishwasher last.

I think it depends on the situation and the people involved.

In my last relationship (we were married) I was the problem because with some extra money we had come into I told him that he should go and get a new snowmobile. It was his main hobby. He worked a ton of OT and was always on call. So he got a bonus. I wanted him to do something for himself.

He got upset with me because he was saving it and putting it towards “our future” and I didn’t care enough about our future to want to save it.

I just wanted him to do something nice for himself.

So I guess I suck…

Since all my relationships have been same-sex, I have to say the bigger pain in the butt is always the man. Sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively.

Steven Wright said it best:

Christ. Do all women do this? The fact that this is apparently common among the female persuasion makes this question almost a moot point doesn’t it?

At the moment, my subordinates, so women.

No, no…

Robin Williams said it best.

“Women. Can’t live with 'em, can’t live with them…”

No, no, you mean the Incredible Hulk. He has the bigger cock, only fucks when angry, and is too stupid to distinguish between the vagina and the anus.

Poor Jennifer.

Every woman I’ve ever known well is at least a tiny-bit nuts. Mother, Sisters, friends, co-workers, lovers. Every single one.

Or, maybe it’s just me.

Tom Wolfe wrote, “a woman has two trump cards: Making A Scene, and Tears.”

It’s true. And it’s a huge pain in the ass.

I agree that a majority of women do this - however, ime, I have come across MEN who are just as bad about doing this to others. This is one of my biggest pet peeves, no matter WHO is playing this game.

My male friends and I used to do this in college. That is, because we all believed in immediate retaliation for slights, and we all refused to hit women, if a woman in our group annoyed a guy, the annoyee would hit the nearest guy. The women naturally used this for evil.

So, in sum, we were all tools.

Speaking merely in terms of friendship, I have a close female friend who is really high maintenance and is constantly trying to make me feel guilty for hurting her feelings. On the other hand, I have a close male friend who is constantly telling me “tough” and “suck it up”. I tend to like women who are tomboys and not overly emotional, and men who are kindhearted. Go figure.
