Men: Women and nagging?

[_Kirsty_]

A question for the blokes:

 

What do you class as nagging?

 

Is asking a simple favour from you classed as nagging, if you dont want to do it?

 

Is asking things more than once classed as nagging?

 

Dont worry, this isnt a man-bashing thread, its simply asking a few questions, getting different views on the subject.

Mercifully Im never nagged now, but I remember my ex nag nag nagging away for the most pathetic reasons, often making things up to witter on about.

Im trying to think of subjects my ex would pick to nag about but its not easy, or more accurately its TOO easy!

Ok, for instance, if it was raining outside she`d nag at me because she was going to get wet shoes when she went out.

Pathetic, isnt it? But a nagger can and will find anything to nag on about.

A man classes it as nagging if you ask them to do something and have to ask again and again and again. That is their defence for not doing it in the first place.

Don't they realise that most of the time if we could lift or reach etc we would have done it ourselves.

Ask him something he wants to do perhaps? And then take it from there.............

'Nagging' is the derogatory term used by men in response to their partner reminding them that they'd previously agreed to do something and, days/weeks/months later, they still haven't done it.

 

It's usually uttered in an exasperated tone, stemming from the fact that the man in question knows that he's in the wrong, and that he's been sat on his arse in front of the rugby with a beer when he should have been putting up shelves/taking the kids out etc etc.

I think nagging is something BOTH partners grow into, and of course it doesn't always have to be the woman nagging the man (I'm probably the nag!). The woman in one couple I know asks again and again until the job is done. The man seems to have developed into needing to be told and told until its done!

There isnt a 'him' anymore... but things we argued about got me thinking....

Female nature

Most women nag because it is in their nature to do so. They grew up watching most of the women around them doing it and were taught that it was the best way to handle men and their occasional inability to function on a normal human level. This applies even more so to the women who are just coming of age, as they were brainwashed even more by television shows like Roseanne , in which the entire emphasis was on pointing out men's many failings.

 

The big picture

Sometimes women nag over some seemingly insignificant thing in order to work their way onto larger issues. She knows that it is going to get you peeved and plans on using that anger later to bring up whatever it is that is really bothering her.

 

She's a little loopy

Have you ever thought that perhaps she's just plain crazy? I know that it's hard to accept, but when it comes down to it most women are at least mildly psychotic, if not full-blown lunatics. So remember, if she is indeed a wacko, when the nagging starts, don't push her to the point of dismembering your favorite member.

 

types of naggers

 

A female nagger can be classified in one of four groups:

 

The Innocent: This is the one nagger that doesn't really mean to nag. She brings up problems that she has to make you aware of, but tries to do so without making you angry or starting an argument. Chances are her intentions are good, she just needs a little work on her approach.

 

The Chatterbox: This nagger never seems to stop. But her nagging rarely escalates into real fights because you've probably learned to effectively zone her out (by the way, this is a good method that I'll cover later; just don't let her catch you).

 

The Riddler: Ah, the nagger that nags without nagging (say that five times fast). She says things like, "Would you like to try and guess why the green plates are not in the cabinet?" You have no idea what she's talking about and she knows it, otherwise why would she be asking in the first place?

 

The T-Rex: If she doesn't rip your head off while screaming at you, you got away lucky. It seems as though she actually grows horns when the nagging starts, the room gets a little darker, you know it's coming and there's no place to run. Scientific studies conducted within the AskMen laboratories showed conclusive evidence that she may very well be one of Satan's minions. Good luck with all that.
