from last week...

lolol

 

[2009ring]

My wife is incapable of choosing food from a drive thru without first consulting me on what I'm getting.

Me: Honey, what do you want
Her: What are you getting?

I just started telling her I was getting bizarre stuff or stuff I know she hates, just to see what she does.

So what does she do?

I don't know why but this ↑↑ is hilarious to me.

Pulls up to McDonald's:

Him:Honey, what do you want?
Her: What are you getting?

Him: The McSquid taco sandwich with a side of frog egg caviar and chilled pigeon's blood.
Her: Eww

Women do that as a way to gauge what's "acceptable". They don't want to order more food than the man or spend more money on their meal. If you go big ticket, they're going big ticket. If you order something small, they're going small.

It's odd. I've never once asked a women what she was getting to base my order off of her's. I always just get what I want.

But knowing this, I use it to my advantage.

Her: "What are you getting?"

Me: "Oh, just a turkey and cheese sandwich. I'm not that hungry."

Waiter: "Can I take your order"?

Me: "Go ahead honey." (Being courteous and all.)

Her: "I'll have the half sandwich/half soup special"

Waiter: "And you sir?"

Me: "I'll have the baby back Ribs with a baked potato fully loaded".

(Waiter leaves to put in the order).

Her: "I thought you were getting the turkey and cheese."

Me: "Oh, I changed my mind."

Her: "Well, If I would have known that....Hump!"

Me:

So what does she do?

Whines "oh that doesnt help me at all"......

 

[BroKV]

Me: What do you want for dinner

Her: Whatever

Me: Ok, Chinese food

Her: I don't want that

I'm lucky on the food thing. My wife orders the same exact meal based on the place we are at. If it's a new place, she will order as close as possible something she has had somewhere else. LOL. At home, I know she doesn't cook, so I don't ever get disappointed in that.

As far as the other stuff goes, I told my wife long ago that I don't like being tested and I don't read minds. I really started to get annoyed by it. I told her if you want something from me, ask for it. It really has worked out. If you tolerate the behavior, it will continue.

I also learned to stop trying to make things right when she is upset. I would follow her around like a dumba$$. It gets her more upset. If I just leave her alone and go do something for awhile, it just goes away. It's weird, but it works.

The only thing she does that still is a bit annoying is try to redirect a conversation if she is losing an argument and bring up some other BS to try and "win?" I am totally onto it now and I just keep saying, "What does 'X' have to do with 'Y'?" Sometimes it works, other times I just end the conversation cause its not worth the brain drain.

LOL. Good point on just letting them be upset and waiting it out. Smart. I have also learned that women are creatures of emotion. If you are winning an argument, it makes her emotionally feel bad and she will have to bring up something else to deflect that bad feeling. Sticking to facts, they usually HATE that.

Even definitions, if they don't like the way a word makes them feel, they will actually try to change the definition of the word. This was an actual argument I had.

Me: The majority of those puppies are black.
Her: No they aren't.

Me: There are 15 puppies, 12 of them are black, 3 of them are white.
Her: Yeah, but you are trying to make it seem like all of them are black.

Me: Huh? I didn't say all, I said majority.
Her: Yeah, but all of them are not black.

Me: Do you know what majority means?
Her: Everything is not always so black and white.

Me: Except in this case, it LITERALLY is black and white.
Her: Stop being so literal.

Spot on! A similar item is if another woman looks better than her (body-wise), they either had work done or they were photoshopped. I can't tell you how bad I wanna say, "No, love, she just probably eats better than you do and works out more."

I am pretty sure I did say it once or twice long ago, but it goes against her preconceived idea. In other words, it fails. That is not to insult my wife, either. My wife was pretty much model gorgeous for many years, but she doesn't have the dietary or physical conditioning desire to sustain it, nor do I care. Just sayin...don't be a hater.

A slight twist

HER: Do you want to do A or B?

ME (Not caring either way even a little bit): Let's do A

HER: A? A?! I thought for sure you'd pick B

ME (STILL not caring either way even a little bit): Okay we can do B

HER: No no, you said A, we'll do A

Then seems upset that we're doing A
