Men Drive Women Crazy With These 6 Things

There is no doubt that men and women are completely different from one another, and sometimes both halves do something that annoys the other. We've talked a lot about males…

5. Selective hearing 

…For some women, this is the worst of them all! 

When there’s something they don’t like or they’re simply not in the mood for whatever their partners might be talking about, men tend to have something called selective hearing. This means that they pick and listen to just what they want.

It’s not the best of their habits, and women get annoyed pretty fast when something like this happens.

When you’re in a serious relationship and your partner is a priority, both parties should be trying to actively listen to each other and make an effort to really understand what they’re trying to say.

When a man chooses what they hear and listen to, they are more likely to miss some important information, and they will later blame their partner by saying something like “You’ve never told me that.”

…PS: Something like this happens via texts as well, when women send them a lot of messages but they don’t reply to all of them!

  1. I can’t tell you how many articles are available listing the many, many things guys do that women get pissed about. It’s gotten boring. And seldom do we see anything written at all about the reverse: things women do that drive men nuts. Maybe it’s because women aren’t expected to alter their behavior, though they’ll never hesitate a moment to demand that from men.

  2. Selective hearing is demeaning, disrespectful, obvious, deceitful,lazy, dated, indifferent, callous, ambivilant, ambigious, baiting,stonewallling, unkind, narcissistic…please feel free to add to the list
