Default she's mad at me

recent threads have prompted this line of thinking. you always hear a guy saying, oh she's mad at me cuz of this or that, she gave me the speech, she's stopped talking to me, etc. but you never or rarely hear a girl saying, damn, my bf is mad at me and i dont know what to do. why does it appear so unbalanced? is the male sex "worse" than the other? what gives?

Guys don't get mad, we just wait it out.

the simple answer is: this forum is dominated by male members. reality is that there are lots of women who are also concerned with this issue, but since their population on this forum is small, that is why we rarely, if ever, hear about it.

no, I think guys are just more sensitive to this shit.

If a guy gets mad at a woman, the woman knows chances are he'll get over it, he'll be horny sooner or later Plus men aren't as emotionally volatile.

Not to mention, think of a list of the stuff women get mad about and a list of the stuff men get mad about. And even though this is a male domintated forum, I dunno... I'm trying to think of "my man is mad at me" discussions from more female frequented spots and I can't really think of any.

For me it would be that I don't drag it out. If I am pissed off about something we are dealing with it right here and now. And whatever I am mad about either gets resolved or someone is out the door. Women like to stew about it and have the inability to let something go.

That said, I rarely get that mad about something. I don't need to have my way all the time and if myself and a GF have a difference of opinion on something, my response is usually "Whatever. I don't care, have it your way." Because we don't care that much as long as we are getting some.

Guys also tend to not sweat the small stuff. We are so used to our friends greeting us with things like "Hey dickless, get a job yet?" that everything slides off our backs. Women can take something you say that is totally innocent, twist it around, fume about it for a week and then explode into some fit related to something you don't even remember saying a week back.

Estrogen is ancient greek for "pure evil".

i didn't mean on this board only. in general life, you dont hear women worrying about this. for all the women who complain that they get the short end of the stick in life, remember this point. you're life would be much worse if men did what most women do.

lol, maybe that's what evens out the fairness factor that we have to deal with the havoc wrecked on our bodies. Being a slave to the hormone roller coaster ain't fun either.
