Women! Someone help me to understand this PLEASE! lol.

James. I think it's best that the women here on mylot respond to this. But i remembered something that you had responded to in a discussion regarding men listening. It was something like this Oh we HEAR but we don't actually listen! Maybe they know this.

ROFLMFAO....well I can honestly say that i'm NOT one of those types of women...HOWEVER I DO know some and for the life of me I have no idea why they are like that....but if you figure it out let me know please..

Well, in our house, we dont sit thru the commercials. We either record the programme and 'fast forward' or my husband (because, lets face it, men feel the need to have the control buttons grafted onto their hands) channel-hops. I'd say, why is it, that, if I miss the first 10minutes of something (since I have more demanding things to do than slob out in front of the telly) I then have to miss the next bit to have those 10 minutes (which I have heard from any other room of the house due to the volume) explained.... it doesn't matter too much because, chances are, I'll fall asleep halfway through anyway!

Two reasons, i guess. One: Because men do not talk to and with them when the TV is off and do not orient them their "rules" before watching the movie, or why doesn't he just tell her to "just watch and i will explain everything later" or "here's the synopsis, questions will be received/entertained after the show." Two: It is probably a woman's way of telling her man "i am here, be WITH me," or subconciously she is competing against the TV/movie for your UNDIVIDED attention and interest. :) Just guesses.

1st up,thank ya kindly for putting down women.sounds like your a typical man.we women are who we are whether you like it our not.we are entitled to have our say when we want to.men tend to be the ones who complain.if it wasnt for your mother you wouldnt be here.so suck it up and deal with it.we arent going to change.i tend to feel like if i talk then thats when people will notice me more.

Yes please respond to answer these important questions! My wife does this too and it drive me around the bend. Come to think of it maybe thats WHY she does it... Hmmm that would explain a lot.

Some suggestions: Get a TiVo or other kind of DVR and just hit pause when your lady friend decides it is time to start jabbering away during your shows. Then, pick different ladies to hang out with. I am not one of these ladies you are referring to. I guess I could be while watching TV if I didn't have a TiVo with which I can pause the program to say whatever is on my mind. But, I don't talk during a movie. I don't like to miss anything and, since I can't pause the movie in a theater, I just keep my mouth shut. And, I always get annoyed with the other people in the theater that are talking. I don't like to make a pain out of myself so, I do my best not to. Sorry...I really don't have an answer to your question other than to say that we are not all like the ladies you referenced. LOL!

I think it's just a timer on our tongue or something. We could have the comnplete thought process of what we are going to say completed before the commercial even goes off, and yet we wait until the show is on to talk. I do it, and I won't deny it. I don't know why I do it, and it bothers me that I do because I am one of those who ask my fiance "What just happened? I mean, what is this woman to that man?" lol, so yea, my mind wanders. Maybe women are just a little more adhd then we are willing to admit!

that is really something to fuss about. they could be out doing alot of other things that might bug you more. ever think about that? if that's all u have to gripe about that your lady is doing you are lucky.

yes i do the same to my husband.and do you know why we do that?we need attention.

Saw that on a BBC documentary. They said, it is because women socialize by the spoken word. So, if she is talking to you, she only let you know that she is friendly and not willing to kill you. Should be some ancestor thing. Silence was the voice of trouble ahead...

LOLS!!! you have poor luck. but i can tell you that i don't bother my man with such cause just like you, I think people should only talk during commercials. Don't disturb when your watching a movie, If i have a question I'd probably wait for the show to finish then I'd ask, so I don't disturb him during the movie. and the final thing that i cannot stand is that when a man thinks his odering desert your gonna mooch of him so you don't have to order your own. HELLO guys!!!! we don't want your desert!!! we want to be close to you!

i honestly don't know why that happens i think its just coincedence as far as the commercial thing. i on the other hand do not do this either. my fiance does it to me...all of the above. i think he's the girl and i'm the guy sometimes.

I'm a girl. Hmmm... On the first question, I haven't done such thing... Well, maybe your girl needs your attention, because maybe when your watching your favorite show you don't seem to be disturb even for a second... (just a maybe) On the second question.... I haven't done such thing also, because when my guy and I decided to watch a movie we agreed to watch the movie we like.. So during the movie, we really watch... and when there are questions or misheard wording on the movie we ask each other... Can I ask? have you given your girl her time where you two were not interrupted by any means? Because if you have time with her, she would ask for your attention. I don't mean to get involve with your problem... I'm just curious...

Since you hear and not listen, I would be as brief as possible. 1. Simple, we find commercials more interesting than the shows you are addicted to. In most cases they are wacky. 2. That's because you men have an inherent tendency to sleep through the movies and and we women tend to save you from it.

What you wrote illustrate the complex relationship between a man and a woman. if you had to boil it down, women demand attention. I have a solution for your situation. What about hearing the movie on headphones. You can always pretend that you are not hearing her :)

Ha ha ha .......James, I can understand you.This is routine in our house......This happens because ...when men are watching TV then you men are really sticking to your place, but when we women are watching TV at the same time we are doing hundreds of other work in the kitchen and in the house so that when you have finished enjoying your TV, we are ready to please your stomach with tasty hot food, and your beds are well arranged and ready when you want to enjoy your sleep......so while doing all this we miss some part of the program and asks questions and you men feel we are such a pain in the neck.......lol....... Nice discussion.......Have a great day.

"Why is it that us men can be sitting quietly through TV commercials yet the MINUTE the show we are watching comes back on, women decided right there and then to start a conversation" Sorry James, t'ain't true at all!!! Not for me anyway. Of course I don't have a husband (thanks be), but my kids, male and female, were guilty of this very behavior when they lived at home. Now if my favorite show is on, DON'T TALK TO ME, and don't talk to someone else so loud I can't hear the TV, or I will rip your head off and stuff it down your throat! Can you tell I'm not a typical female?

I don't really believe that you are going to get a real answer to your questions, Darlin. We do what we do because men do what they do. Maybe we just do it to drive you crazy, the same way you men drive us crazy by hogging the remote, then jump around from program to program, just as we decide we might be a little bit interested in where you landed for more than 2 seconds.

Haha, wow. I've never noticed the first thing you mentioned myself, but the second thing I can relate totally. They will normally be clueless about the entire movie wondering who is the "good" or "bad" guy, and trying to figure out the plot. They'll bug you about it too throughout the whole movie. Sorry I can't help you out here - I'm trying to wrap my head around the reason why they do this too.
