Why can't men stop and ask for directions? Why do men insist on scratching themselves in public? Why do they check other women out? Why can't they just admit they're wrong? These are all the question that women ask themselves almost on a regular basis. There have been books written about the subject, countless articles published and they have been topics of conversation both on television and in real life. What many of these women do not consider, are all the little things that women do that both baffle men and drive them absolutely insane.

"Do I look fat?" It is the worst question to ask and the worst to try and answer. Do you really want the truth? If your significant other thinks you're fat and hideous, he probably wouldn't be with you in the first place.

Sometimes women find a hidden meaning in something a man says and it becomes a huge ordeal. For instance, if your significant other says, "Hey, why don't we buy a treadmill?" it doesn't mean that he thinks that your are fat and need to work out....sometimes it just means, "Hey, why don't we buy a treadmill?"

Why do we insist on taking men shopping when we know they hate? They could care less about the fabulous Steve Madden boots we found at 30% off. They don't know whether you should buy the turtle-neck at 3/4 length or regular length. Sometimes a 23 year old man might feel weird about hanging around outside the "Juniors" dressing room at Kaufmans. After a whole day of following us around , holding our purse while we are in the dressing room, bored out of their skulls, we wonder why they're so cranky.

Why does it take a women so long to get ready? It takes a man all of 15 minutes to get ready and go out. They jump in the shower, slap on a little cologne, grab a pair of pants off the floor and a t-shirt out of the hamper and they're out the door. Women on the other hand insist on plucking, shaving, curling, and ironing before they go out. We go through about seven different outfits, three different hairstyles, and debate which purse to wear. After 45 minutes of waiting around for us, no wonder they aren't blown away with how fabulous we look....they're exhausted.

This is probably the most annpying of all habits women have. We wait until the football game on Sunday to have deep and meaningful discussions with our men. Game time is their time. We should stop trying to compete. We will not get any useful information about how he feels or where the relationship is headed when all he wants to do is drink a beer, and watch the game.

So before you decide to vent about your boyfriend to your friends over cosmopolitans, just think about what you have done to drive him crazy.
