There’s always so much written about men, and their annoying habits, and how they turn-off women or how they are the most flawed creatures, that we thought it’s only fair to shed light on the fact that women are not saints either. From giving us pet names to obsessing over her weight, here is a list of annoying female habits that we hate. Feel free to add to the list.
Giving us the silent treatment
Women are strange. Period. Either they’ll bombard us with the annoying ‘what are you thinking’ phrase after every 10 seconds or they’ll go completely mum when they’re upset, and we find it particularly irksome. Just tell us what is bothering you and we can try and come up with a solution together. If you're not talking about the problem, it's just going to get bigger and finding a solution is only going to get harder.

Obsessing over weight
Ask any guy what they don’t understand about a woman, and invariably, a good percentage will tell you it’s talking about weight. We hate it when they complain about their body. We hate it when they scrutinize every inch of their body for flaws that are only in their head. And yes, they can’t gain weight every second day, so they need to stop obsessing about their weight. Two things. We don’t want to hear about their cellulite woes.

Giving up in the middle of the game
Well, it could be a racing game or chess or even a simple scrabble game - the moment you see yourself ahead in the match, that’s when they’ll play their trump card - they give up. The game doesn’t matter anymore as they leave it midway, but not before calling us cheaters. Not cool, we say. This, when they constantly berate us by saying ‘It’s just a game’, after our favorite team has lost the football match.

Saying ‘I’m Fine’ when they are not
Fine is that four letter devil of a word that renders any discussion useless. You may have overreacted a little, given your cricket match precedence over dinner, but now all sorts of issues have been brought up. You expect to discuss that matter, like mature people, but all you get in the end is the passive-aggressive - ‘I’m fine’. If only they could just outline the problem, solve it and move on like normal people.

Annoying love names
Let’s get it clear for once and for all - we hate pet names. Be it ‘cutie pie’, or ‘shona’, ‘jiggly poo’ or ‘sweet cheeks’- none of them are appreciated, in fact, far from it. And we absolutely hate it when we are addressed by such endearments (not!) in public. Shudder!
