hey women out there! how common is it that men do NOT listen to you?
I never listen to men that don't listen to me.
That leaves me with 3 or 4 men which I can talk to.
Leaves me with 1!!
lolOMG I am amazed someone understands this, I was adopted two times , once by my real mothers sister , o.k - so I come back thirty years later to take care of my real mother who , passed away soon after I came home , any way , to make a long story short , my mother had only male friends, she was actually evicted from a womens home and passed away in a mens home , same owner evicted her from the womens home and then allowed her to live in the mens home where, she was very happy had great relationships (all platonic of course) and it was funny that her and I felt the same way because we had not spent any time together as I was growing up, now, my daughter has a problem with "chicks" as she calls them , and her friends are boys, funny , but true, o.k and another story is I was working in a tax office, all women , go figure , o.k , I need to learn a schedule A (at the time anyway) so Im all studying and stuff and the women are huddled in a corner all wispering and stuff, then, one comes up to me and I was in a tough spot of understanding this schedule A , expecting some help , I look up and guess what she says .... come on .. guess.. o.k well... she didnt say anything... she jus asked if my eyelashes were real.... I'm like ... what the hell?.... um.... I'm like really needing to understand this schedule A and your asking what? Well no , they are not real , I like ..... um painted them on or something... (o.k so, thats what I thought anyway). Now , a man, see , he would have asked what help I needed, and helped me , then , if he wanted to know about my eyelashes , or wanted to make a pass at me or something, he would have delt with that part , like .... after the business transaction was done, then I could have turned him down, accepted his pass , or whatever, see, women are impractical and really not so smart , most, anyway , tend to focus their attention on stupid things like eyelashes, thats how come most are in search of a rich man LOL , cause they cant figure anything out

If men don't listen to me I have a number of solutions; hide their car keys, TV remote or mobile. When they ask where the hidden object is they have to start listening.
Hahaha! I like this!
haha!
then say "can you hear me NOW?"

I think it is as common as women not listening to men
Seriously though, I think it is based on the relationship you have. Men are from Mars Women are from Venus , lololo
As for your question how common? Quite oftenIf you're a woman who looks and sounds like a man it's not much of a problem, because, after all, many men think only men "know anything".
If you're a woman who is so big and mean you scare the guy it's not much of a problem, because they'll just be scared of you.
If you're a woman who's one of those intimidating and glamorous women that drag queens imitate, you may not have much of problem because they may be willing to listen to anything.
If you're their boss, they may or may not listen. It depends.
Other than that, a whole lot of them have written you off as knowing what you're talking about "because nobody who looks and sounds like you could possibly know what she's talking about." I think of it as a form of "
non-malicious misogyny" So, yes, it's common.
On top of all that, when they're eventually proven wrong (and you're proven correct), they won't remember that you were the one who told them. Instead, they're re-write history or else pretend the matter is a brand, new, one that never came up before.- sneakorocksolidposted 14 years ago0

In my experience, men listen quite well when you first begin a relationship. Once the "newness" of it all starts to fade, so do their listening skills. They'd rather tell you to shut up than listen to you.
Of course, I haven't had the greatest experiences with men so perhaps I'm not the one to ask - reeltaulkposted 14 years ago0
Funny you say that, because a baseball team I root for WON their game last night 7 to 6
Yes, the Toronto Blue Jays did play yesterday, but did not play the team I root for. And, I do not root for the Jays.
My baseball team is the Boston Redsox and they played the Yankees yesterday.
The nude in front of the tv, works about half the time for any real fan.
Thank you PDH. And, I'm not sure who I am inviting to the party.
I can see you're in the happy mood as usual.
And, like I said, for the AVID Fan of sports, even sex sometimes escapes them.
See? That's exactly what happens. Here I've been talking away all morning and you guys are over here chatting about sports. I bet you didn't hear a thing I said!
I thought you said you wanted to be naked in front of the TV with a six pack and a platter of food! Right?
No, I said, I wanted to have the whole team here in front of the tv, naked, balancing a six pack on their heads.
while we watch "Days of Our Lives"!Even kinkier!!
If you need towel racks!
