I've been married for 7 years and this are my favorites:

1) "The problem with you is that you don't listen to what I'm saying"....the problem is she did not say anything.
2) My wife has more bags than the number of models I have...I don't even have room in my cabinet for my clothes.
3) While shopping she would ask.."Do you think this dress looks good on me?" and I say "Yes, it looks good on you"..then she buys a different drress...

Women...the world would be a boring place without them. They normally break the monotony in life....

:-)

Haven't you guys figured it out yet. Us women were put here on Earth to keep you on your toes. If we didn't do the things we do...what would you have to complain about??? (++)

We would just complain about the lack of Allied armor subjects in plastic :-) Sorry, couldnt help it...no, even though we complain Mary, guys will admit, we still love our girls.

After nearly 22 years of marriage, I've figured out a couple things...

1) When my wife wants to "vent" about anything, she usually just wants me to listen, she doesn't want me to try to "fix" it for her.

2) "If Mama isn't happy, ain't nobody happy." I do my best to make her happy by doing for her first...it's weird, but when I'm able to accomplish that everything else just seems to fall into place...and I do mean everything

Exactly!! I have gotten an explanation of this though. You see, they don't like to touch it!! (the seat)

Oh no guys!! The women are here!! Run Away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just Kidding Mary!! :-)

Well after 20 yrs........

Does this make me look fat?
No,but the color sucks.........(diversion)
Which shoes do you like best?
Nobody I know is gonna look at your feet,baby!

She keeps me informed on events,dates,and family outings.............................
When I'm asleep,or 3 rooms and a hall away.
And she expects me to remember too!

It's 'her' car.But I always drive?

She breaks things(operator error)
Asks me to fix
Then tells me how she wants it fixed.
I hand her the wrench and walk away.

Scale models not allowed in house('decor' clash )
I spend whatever I damn well please on my hobby......

After 8 years of marriage, I've had ample time to see the pattern of habits that my wife has come up with:

- The Invisible Garbage Can Syndrome - no matter what, that wrapper or tea bag will never find it's way to the garbage can on the opposite side of the kitchen.

- The Bottomless Garbage Can Syndrome - invariably, the garbage can will always hold more, even if everything is piling on top of what's already in there and spilling over the sides.

- The "Where's My " Syndrome - it's my responsibility to know where her keys, jacket, purse, ID card, stethescope (she's a Critical Care Nurse), credit cards, etc. are. Never mind that she placed them while I was at work or asleep. This is taken to the next level when she actually physcially leaves her winter jacket at her parents and drives home in 3 degree weather.

- The "Your Sleep Doesn't Matter" Syndrome - invariably, falling asleep on the couch or sleeping in on a weekend is a punishable offense. Her favorite weapons are to ask me "Where's My " (see above) or place my rambunctious 1 year old daughter on my chest.

- The "You Can Read and Talk, Can't You?" Syndrome - obviously, I'm expected to be able to hold a full-blown conversation while reading. Ladies - this is why we take a book with us to the can!

All of the above are meant in good fun. My wife is a fantastic mother to my children and my soulmate. I know she has a laundry list for me and my habits. She's not nearly as messy and forgetful as she sounds. It's just those quirky little things that make our relationship "special"

andd the clean everything and throw averything away that doesnt seem to have an affect on the womans live syndrom. guess how much "useless" parts of my models my girlfriend threw away?=

12 years of marriage and I still CAN'T READ HER MIND. Maybe there is something wrong with me? :-)

Slodder hit it on the head, Everything I do is wrong or I dont seem to do anything to help out. What about the $80,000 /year salary im bringing home miss?

Been married for 35yrs, when the news comes on the telly or that documentry about interesting stuff she starts talking about the colour of milk bottle tops or something, then when coronation street comes on you cant get a word out of her so I will go in the kitchen and stick some plastic together "you think more of those models than you do me" "yes dear" "can you mow the lawn when I go to bingo tomorrow you know i love the garden" "yes dear" or when she took the front off the brand new Mercedes "what happened" i asked "dont blame me it wernt my fault etc, etc, etc, etc, #:-)

Been laughing at all these complaints.. yet... you guys just seem to come back for more... so we must be doing something right.

hehehehehe... and some new ideas to boot too !!! I told Sel he should come over here to this topic and post! He's already heard me read most of these complaints to him and agrees with most. hehehehehe...

yep .. we women are here !!!!

Hiya Jean,..glad you got in on this too..we need to keep control here.....LOLOLOL

hehehehehehehehehe Let's not go there.........

Hi everyone, Well i am just learning new things they do. I'm sure you all know tankysgal1 on here and she is starting out modeling. well she is having the habit of setting things down on the work bench and forgetting where she put them and for using things and forgetting she used them. And the kicker is always where did you put that brush or where is that paint, its always me that has misplaced what she has been using :-) thats ok though I still love her. cheers Kevin

Sorry John, but for letting her drive the brand new anything, that IS your fault! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Yep Mary, woman seem to need to keep control.

Actually an African friend summed it up, for me, nicely:

“Women are in control period! They manipulate us in such a way, that they allow us men the illusion of being in charge!”

True? You decide!

Yep thats true. With my beloved and 3 daughters i'm only just let in the house. I still have control of the t.v remote though and i'll die before i relinquish that :-) :-) :-) .
Most annoying thing is the thousands of shoes, boots, trainers and slippers that i trip over daily around the house. My females couldn't keep an empty room tidy, but youv'e got to love em.

I was having a conversation about WWII with a female friend of mine, the end result of which can be summed up as "All of human history is men's fault" to which I replied; What? Women weren't there?" To which she replied "Sure, we just didn't want to do it ourselves" To which I said " Then it's womens' fault". The conversation turned kinda sour then....
What can ya do?

You know, when you are reading something or watching the t.v. or even replying to a post on Armorama, your beloved is talking to you and you go: hmm, hhmmm, yeaah, hmm. What really gets them going is is, when the inevitable " are you listening to me??" is asked, to answer Hmmm again.


Henk

I feel all your pain, I can relate to nearly every example ... but I have one not mentioned. We have a one story house it's big, to big IHMO about 3000+ sq ft. I'll be watching TV and she'll be on the CORDLESS phone and have to stand mear feet away from me and talk .... so I keep turning up the TV then she'll ask "Can you hear that, I'm on the phone!" and I'll say "You're on a cordless phone, I'm not watching a cordless TV ... take it to the other end of the house."
But oh many of the of the other ones I've read are so true. I could go on all night.

Dave

Right on Dave!
And...............
"Put the remote back on top of the TV."
But it's a remote.Why not on the table next to where we sit to watch TV?
No! It belongs on top of the TV........
Okey Dokey ......................

Ok guys..you have made your point...Besides..Henk...us women all should know by now that men can't do two things at once.... :-) (++)

Oh yes we can... at least I can... I can drive my wife up the wall whenever I'm doing something and she starts to tell something, I react like Henk said (the "hmmm, yes" part). After 5 minutes she asks: "are you listening to me". I can make her go absolutly ape by literally repeating her last sentence word for word....

You see, you can never win, if you don't listen it is trouble, and if you do listen (while doing something else) you are in trouble because they can't blame you for not listening. and if you do give them your undivided attention, you'll get cornered eventually

Sorry guys they are here to stay, so we'll have to learn to live with it, just remember al the advantages
