Someone mentioned nagging on another thread.


It occurred to me that maybe women and men have a different view of what is "asking" and what is "nagging"

How many times does a woman get to ask before the man thinks she is nagging?

Or is asking always nagging?

Or is there a special way to ask that never becomes nagging?


I do believe no woman REALLY wants to be seen as a nag to the man she loves heart beating

It's "nagging" when the woman is never satisfied, or never expresses any appreciation.

I live for pats on the back.

I will do almost anything for a woman I love, but if I don't feel appreciated, I promise I won't keep doing it for very long.

Tell me how awesome I am, tell me I'm appreciated, and I will run myself ragged just to hear it some more.

Great post. I totally agree with that. I think nobody likes to feel unappreciated.

I also wanted to say taht nagging never involves asking. Its someone repeatedly tells you to do something over and over again and hassles you until you do it. Yes, i know what you're going to say - if you did it the first time, you wouldn't have to be nagged constantly but everyone procrastinates tongue

I think nagging is just much a do about little things ... both men and women do it .. sooooooo no big deal.

But must say some people are terrible terrible nags .. ohh a known to me uncle is .. roll eyes annddd a cousins wife is ... uh oh

I think its endless non-appreciation and i want more sort of attitude topped with bad behavior and lack of concern for the other persons feelings or negativism and complaints day and nite ..

But when u are many years or months in to a relation and u know each other toooo well .. a little adjustment with each others attitudes can prevent a whole lot of frustration induced nagging.

I do not nag.

Plus, I do not spend hours getting ready.

I can be showered, made up, in 30 minutes.

Nagging is a term, if a man has to be asked more than once to do something, then I will get another man into do it.

nagging is what men say women are doing if they ask them nicely, to do the thing they have been asking them to do a hundred times already and they havent done it. If you don't want a woman ( or man- goes both ways) to 'nag' at you , then just effing DO IT!!!!laugh

Nagging is when a woman won't let things drop. She has to get the last word. She can't just ask you to do xyz, she has to remind you how long it took you to do uvw and stu. Basically, imagine your wife or girlfriend treating you like they are your employer and asking for things in that tone....

I need you to do.......

rather than

Hey, if you get a chance, could you......

You see

I manage to find intelligent guys, who notice when the lawn needs mowing, the bathroom tile is falling off, a lightbulb is out, the car needs a service.

And if he does not, then I will mow the grass when it needs doing, empty the trash, fix the tile, change the lightbulb, book the car to be collected.
