I believe I speak for all women, when I say that this male behaviour is one of our biggest pet peeves. Doesn’t it just grind your gears when you ask a boy how his day was, cuz you care, and he says: “good”, “fine”, “busy” or some bullshit answer like that . Annoyed at his what you assume to be deliberate vagueness and his non-caring, at your caring, you follow-up with: “well, what did you do?”. He answers: “not much”, “worked”, “chilled” etc. Helpful. Those are some useless descriptive terms. Thanks for sharing. Infuriating. And why the hell did he not ask how my day was? Does he not care? I could have been robbed or fired or bought new heels. Honestly. So what is he hiding? Doesn’t he WANT to communicate? Doesn’t he like me?
After listening to this rant, my guy friend clued me in. Boys just don’t care to hear about every minuet detail of our day. Harsh. How we saw Susie and she broke-up with her bf again, how we feel guilty for having fries at lunch, how our boss is so mean etc. They just want to know if it was good or bad. Or, if we have a problem that they can help us solve. Simple. This does not mean they don’t care. Just that they are not girls.
Now our challenge as women is to just accept this and not start acting like crazy girl and believe that our relationship is on the rocks, he is having a torrid affair or any other insane reasoning we can dream-up. So just call your bff and tell her how you’ve finally found the perfect pair of black pants. She will care. And want to know where you bought them.
