Preface: YES, there are other groups that list all the mistakes men make, and YES, we are aware that they exist, but they are not important in this group... focus around here is only around the funny ass mistakes that women make. And if you have a problem with that, don't bother reading any further, go back to where you came from, and spare us all the aggravation! Anyway, onto the list...

  1. Assuming he can get a raging hard on when it suits you. Contrary to popular belief, men can't just flip a switch and get it up because you decided to stop being a frigid bitch. Getting it hard is your job. I suggest you figure it out.
  1. Thinking that kissing needs to be this sweet romantic thing all the time. Sometimes pressing your lips against your partner's mouth while you get off is hot. It depends on the situation.
  1. Leaving him responsible for your orgasm. You know what gets you off. Tell him. If you don't, it's your own fault when he's snoozing and you're all wound up.
  1. Expecting him to cuddle. Men and women are wired differently. Sex makes most women want to talk and bond and all that shit. It makes men pass out. It's a biological thing. Stop fighting it, and stop holding it over his head, it's not his fault.
  1. Expecting him to fall asleep with you in his arms. That shit is uncomfortable after a while. A little snuggling isn't unreasonable, but when it's time to actually sleep? An arm draped over you should suffice.
  1. Expecting him to always lay on the charm and romance. Sometimes, that's nice. Sometimes. But expecting him to be all roses and candles all the time is like expecting you to act like a pornstar all the time. If you're not willing to do that, don't expect him to switch for you.
  1. Being selfish in bed. Regardless of the shit that Cosmo forces down your throats, sex is NOT just about women. Get over it.
  1. Using Cosmo as a sex bible. I dont know who comes up with half that shit, but I'm pretty sure they need counseling.
  1. Whining when he pushes your head down on his cock instead of stroking your hair. Know why he's pushing, skippy? Because you aren't doing it right, and have apparently ignored the other clues he's given you. Pay attention to the signals that he's sending you.
  1. Not moving at all. Missionary is not an excuse to do nothing.

  2. Expecting him to undress himself with any amount of grace. He's about to get some pussy. Be glad he bothered to take his pants all the way off. If it concerns you so much, undress him yourself.

  3. Not shaving your legs. If you want your guy stubble free, you better get out the razor.

  4. Allowing your crotch to resemble the Amazon. Yes, waxing hurts. Yes, some people don't want to go bare. That's fine. If you like bush, great. If you have sensitive skin and can't shave, I feel for you. But for the love of Christ, trim that shit if you want him to spend any time down there.

  5. Assuming that sex means a relationship. The only relationship you have is that he has now stuck his hoo-hoo dilly in your cha-cha. That's as far as it goes unless otherwise noted.

  6. Withholding oral sex just because you're ragging. He didn't do it. Unless you want him to withhold oral sex because he's hormonal, I suggest you get some knee pads.

  7. Expecting him to figure out what you like by what noise you make. Use your words. Have you ever actually heard what you sound like while you're having sex? If you heard yourself on tape, and someone asked you to explain what was causing you to make that noise, 67% of women would respond with answers like "I stubbed my toe" "I ran up the steps" or "I was putting up drywall".

  8. Leaving condoms up to him. If you're sexually active and insist that he uses a condom, I suggest buying a box and keeping it by your bed. Not all men keep them on them, and it's just as much your responsibility as it is his. If you think that makes you a slut, you shouldn't be having sex anyway. Go back to Junior High.

  9. Getting your undies in a bunch when he talks dirty. A little fantasy can be fun. If he treats you with respect all the time, you shouldn't be offended when he calls you his dirty little slut. When he calls you a whore and tells you to cum, it's his way of showing that he cares if you get off. Stop being a sissy.

  10. Refusing to be spontaneous. I know this is shocking, but sometimes sex OUTSIDE of the bedroom is fun.

  11. Dissing quickies because it's not some slow sensual ordeal. Sex is a dynamic thing. There's an awesome raw energy when you only have 20 minutes but having to have someone so bad that you do it half clothed against the wall. Readjust your thinking.

  12. Being too much of a pussy to tell him what is or isn't acceptable before you start bumping uglies. Be honest. If he asks if he can poke you in the butt, and you giggle and say NO like it's an invitation, don't look surprised when he "accidentally" sticks his cock in your butt.

  13. Expecting him to undress you. Women put a bra on almost every day. I know for a fact that getting them off isn't always easy. Help a brother out.

  14. Undressing in the dark. If you're shy, dim the lights, but give the man something to see. No ripping off the clothes and diving under the covers, either.

  15. Refusing to get on top. There's no reason men should have to do all the work.

  16. Getting that bored look on your face. Men are more visual than women. Give him something to look at. Get on top and arch your back a little bit. Move. Do something to indicate that you 1) are not dead and 2) didn't suffer a minor stroke rendering you unable to move.

  17. Expecting him to do all the touching when you're riding him. It's your body, you're used to it. Play with your tits, rub your clit, do something to make his job easier.

  18. Being too afraid to guide your partner's hand when he's touching you. Don't like the way he's doing it? Gently take his hand and show him how you like it.

  19. Getting into bed, getting naked, fooling around and then deciding that you just want to cuddle, then getting offended when he doesn't. It's your choice to stop, but don't look all fucking surprised when he's confused. You got him naked in your bed, what else did you think was going to happen?

  20. Refusing to let him take control. So you are a feminist. Big fucking deal. Letting him call the shots doesn't make you any less of one.

  21. Refusing to take control. It's ok to crawl across a bed to him on all fours, push him down and crawl on top. It's not his responsibility to start things all the time.

  22. Forgetting that he has a body that likes to be touched, too. Men have things like backs and shoulders and stomachs and other parts that are fun to kiss and touch. You miss a lot of good places by concentrating solely on his penis.

  23. Ignoring his balls. Seriously, they are there. Kiss them, lick them, suck on them, make a relationship with them, just don't ignore them.

  24. Leaving him to his own devices. Nothing is worse than a girl who gets you most of the way off and then bolts because she doesn't want to deal with the mess.

  25. Launching into some speech about not being an object for sex when he tries to titty fuck you. Jesus Christ, just push them together and enjoy yourself. You get a great view.

  26. Expecting him to handle you like a porcelain doll. I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're not going to break, sister. So doing it against the wall gives you a bruise on your shoulder. Look at it later and giggle at the memory.

  27. Refusing to try things in the name of "making love". You're not making anything. You are naked. With another person. Making strange faces and weird noises. Stop romanticizing it.

  28. Taking things way too seriously. Sex is funny. Actually it's hilarious. Somewhere along the line, someone is going to fall off of a bed, hit their head on a lighting fixture, accidentally kick a midget or trip over a goat. It's how you deal with it that really matters.

  29. Throwing a bitch fit when he asks for a threesome. It's the American dream. (Quick interjection - one request for a threesome is ok. Every 5 minutes, not so much. Know the difference).

  30. Continuing a blow job knowing that you have god-awful cotton mouth. Really. Grab a bottle of water.

  31. Nails. It's one thing tracing them up and down your partners back. It's another when you snag the goods with a claw.

  32. Bitching when you get jizz on you. You're having sex. That will happen. That's the entire point of sex. Establish where he can and can't jizz and be done with it. Remember, it tightens the pores.

  33. Not making any noises at all. Moan. Scream his name. Something so he knows he's the best you've had, even if he isn't.

  34. Faking orgasms. Just. Don't. By faking (IF he believes you) he thinks he's doing everything right. And if he doesn't know it's not working, he's not going to change it. Starting a vicious cycle of unfulfilling sex which will eventually be very damaging to his ego.

  35. Not washing before sex. I know that sex is spontaneous, this is more of a general statement. If you haven't showered that day, and things smell a little... fishy... perhaps demanding oral sex is a little ridiculous of you.

  36. Anything that involves inserting anything into his body that he has not specifically approved beforehand. I don't care what Cosmo says, some things are simply not pleasant surprises.

  37. Refusing to use oils/whipped cream/other messy but fun things because you have these rare Egyptian cotton sheets that were made by hand by the only person alive capable of sewing that pattern. They'll wash.

  38. Doing all of your before bed things before sex. Yes, sleeping with makeup on is bad. Now is not the time to remove it, you can do that later. And really fucking you with your hair in a ratty scrunchie with acne cream on your nose is not all it's cracked up to be.

  39. Cleaning up after sex. Wiping the splooge off is one thing. But changing the sheets immediately so you can get the other ones in the washer and then sanitizing everything your naked body might have possibly passed by is not the way to do it.

  40. Making a big deal out of it if he loses his hard on. This is not an interrogation, or 20 questions. It happens, he's probably mortified and you are NOT helping. Refrain from using phrases like "it happens to every guy". Just move to other activities until it gets hard again, and if it doesn't, get off another way with him. He's still capable of getting you off. Mumbling "forget it" and rolling over are not ok.

  41. Asking questions right afterwards. The woman equivalent of "was it good for you?". Now is not a good time to ask "What this means". Right now, it means he probably needs to take a drink, a leak and a nap, perhaps not in that order.

not my play on words Agbu

Winebeforepearls · 28/01/2009 18:22

Very very very very cross and might just go out of his way to really punish a woman for it.

CrushWithEyeliner · 28/01/2009 18:23

That list is nasty stuff - the kind of thing I read at 20 and thought I had to be like. Very 1990's ladette bollox.

Thank God I met DH and realised that all that crap is for neandethals

Winebeforepearls · 28/01/2009 18:23

that was your suggestion, Watusi, and not your extremely clever play on words

Jesus that really is a dumb and nasty piece of misogynistic crap, isn't it. Definitely looks penned by a teenaged boy. Which is fine. What's really bizarre is that a grown up woman should have posted it on here.

I did not find that funny at all. The tone was awful.

electra · 28/01/2009 18:32

What a horrid OP

I don't see anything funny about it either - just misogynistic cr@p.

what a load os sexist crap...why did i waste 2 minutes of my life reading it..?

IorekByrnison · 28/01/2009 18:44

I know what you mean, dittany, but I don't think the person who made this up has necessarily had any of those experiences.

Anyway, no point speculating - either way it's shit.

Doobydoo · 28/01/2009 18:48

Couldn't be arsed to read it all.What a load of pants.And very American sounding[obv ones without a brain/vocab],which immediately makes me want to stop reading.
Generally vile.

Doobydoo · 28/01/2009 18:50

Are you American?Did you copy this from somewhere?Have read that you used to be a Social Worker[really??????]

cheerfulvicky · 28/01/2009 19:12

I wondered why this thread had so many posts and hovered near the top all the time, so I thought I'd better read it and see. Gawd almighty!

Obviously written by a man, it goes without saying. I would say a young man but sadly I know better - there are many older men out there who also think and act like this. Luckily there are also nice, normal blokes out there who don't treat their partner like shit. Thank god for that, eh?

Tiramissu · 28/01/2009 19:21

I dont know how to namechange and i m too lazy to bother, so , oh well doesnt matter...

I wouldnt disclose smth so personal and past but i will because there are some women here who find it funny.

Years ago i had a partner who was like this. The thing is i did like him a lot. And i am quite advetnureous in bed. And in the begining i found his macho style quite sexy .
Anyway he brain washed me by saying things similar to this OP. But it was only in bed. And afterwards he was loving and caring.

BUT after while his behaviour was like this not just in bed. He started to be aggressive and violent and misogynist outside the bedroom.

So in the end of day he was a misogynist bastard. And we ended up at the Police Station one day. And when i left him, he harassed me and i had to change flat and job (i was very lucky i didnt have children with him).

So i am just saying this as a warning to those who find it funny or even sexy. Fine if you enjoy it but just be careful

Sorry for the long post and bad English

YeToxicHighRoad · 28/01/2009 19:21

I asked earlier on if the OP was an actual woman. The reason I asked is that I couldn't believe a woman would place this bile in the faces of other women - for her own amusement!

Is this what's known as post-feminism - we've got the vote, now it's okay to chortle along with the lads and ladettes, because 'it's funny?'

Well,
i suppose it is delivered as 'playing in bed'. But then it can go a bit further. And you dont even realise it ...

Habbibu · 28/01/2009 19:36

OhBling, I could go through most of that list and analyse it in the same way, but I don't have the stomach for it. For what it's worth, I didn't read 35 as "sex has to hurt to be good", I read it as the man saying "I don't give a toss if you get hurt because we're doing things the way I want them, and frankly, fuck what you want". And that's the general tone.

I reckon 25 must be from his real life experience, mind. If you don't want women to be bored, DON'T BORE THEM, sunshine.

12StoneNeedsToBe10 · 28/01/2009 19:39

Wasubi - yes I found it hilarious but I'm just wondering why you used my opinion to have a go at Bling.

"i bet that those of you who find this funny, also think; it's empowering for women to remove their clothes and pose on the cover of nuts magazine; that removing all your pubic hair is just for the sake of cleanliness; that ALL men watch/ read porn and thats abslutely fine" - sorry I can't recall who posted this but had to comment.

I found this thread amusing (hilarious! jeez) because it was never meant to be taken so seriously, or IMO a general coverall for the opinions and actions of all men. No I don't personally agree with getting your tits out for the cover of a magazine but if daft bints want to do that, then who am I to stop them? Removing all pubic hair is also wrong in my opinion, adults are meant to have hair in certain places and absolutely not all men watch or read porn, neither do all women. Just some of them.

The comments here about being hurt whilst having sex (the one about being pushed up against the wall) were bewildering to me at first as I read them in a completely different way. Have you never had wild passionate sex with your DP/DH, just thrown all caution to the wind, ripped each others clothes off and had sex wherever you are? If it's up against a wall no doubt there'll be bruises (caused by friction of bodies against said wall) or rolled around on a carpet and got carpet burns on your back?? No?? OK then. My interpretation of that number in the list was that sex is not always cosy nights in, candle-lit dinner for two, romancing each other in front of a log fire, it's sometimes non-premeditated passion that just takes the moment over.

Pennies · 28/01/2009 19:40

Shame on you Mamzon for this. It is thoughtless, misogynistic and tasteless in the extreme.

Habbibu · 28/01/2009 19:41

12Stone - that's the point, though - wild, rough bruising sex is fine is both parties are happy with it - but "get over it, so what if you're bruised" rather suggests that the woman in this case did NOT want the rough sex, and is being told she has to like it. That's pretty vile and nasty.

Tiramissu · 28/01/2009 19:42

i really dont know Dittany...

Now i can see it for what it was: stupid.

But back then... I don't know... maybe is brain washing, maybe is trying to find something new and exciting , maybe is low self esteem, maybe culture and upbringing...different reasons for each woman
