Haha, damn, this is SO TRUE. It’s almost funny how common this really is. I wonder if guys do anything like that…

By the way, I really like that Jayz song. Esp in the music video.

I’ve been on the receiving side of this before but didn’t recognize the danger. Thanks Linda!

My advice, Linda would be by way of Jay-Z, to get “on on to the next one.” If they (guys or gals) won’t get with the program, on things that matter (not little “quirks”), than drop’em.

Hey Nic, thanks for stopping by and joining conversation.

I’ve learned guys are not mind readers but with that lesson comes with another lesson. Just because you communicate your needs does not mean you’ll be taken seriously. what do we do when our voices get tired and we start feeling like a nag/bad guy? i don’t see what else to do :p

i hope you find a good girl soon :p i enjoyed your last blog post!

See, what you have to remember is this…

Guys are dumb.

Really, we are. Subtlety is not our strong suit, the vast majority of us are stubborn, and while we want to make you happy, some of us will occasionally stretch the limits to see how far they’ll go before they break.

I’ve been on the opposing end of the TTB once in my life, and didn’t realize it until she had already cheated on me for a few months and we were long separated.

But never forget… we are not mind readers. Even Dr. McDreamy doesn’t have ESP. If you don’t think a guy is listening to you, it’s probably something that got lost in translation. Read that last sentence again, please. And again. Now remember it. Most guys aren’t out there to hurt you or to be a jerk to you or whatnot… if you’re with one of those, do us “good guys” a favor and dump his ass so we can have a chance. :-P
