Are men boring?

boringcarpets · 2017-05-13T11:36:24+00:00

Yes. Yes we are. oh well, move along now, don't investigate further, just head toward your femme commune and leave us boring men to our boring man stuff

Men are into boring and dumb stuff like infrastructure, Engineering in the way things work, mechanics, technology.

women are more into practical things like shiney rocks and pretty fabrics.

This is a new way of saying women are great at conversations but they can't talk to all men because all men are boring. Yeah well if you took time to understand your man and indulge his interests he will reciprocate, if all you do is nag nag and talk about yourself any guy will be put off.

Straight_Up_Menace · 2017-05-13T11:49:47+00:00

I clicked on the link. Saw the page. Got bored immediately. Didn't read a single word. Wrote this comment. Now I'm gonna play some more video games. I might be boring. I for sure am completely out of fucks to give in every sense of the phrase.

Men are constrained by human resources regulations when interacting with women. All of the shocking, controversial, thought provoking things a man might want to express must be repressed, lest he loses his job for offending a woman. You crones made your bed

Matthew_Roy · 2017-05-13T11:13:17+00:00

It's extremely rare (at least for me) for a woman to even start or carry a conversation in the first place, usually I get all the responsability of finding subjects to talk about... so one doesn't get to complain after being so passive

But when they let themselves go, all they do is endless small talks, tests and faking. And if more than 1 woman is involved you can bet the conversation is going to end with them gossiping mutual friends or talk about stupid stuff,

So ofc you are going to find me boring if all you can talk about doesn't entertain me in the first place. Plus I can't help but feel that I have to weight my words carefully otherwise they will be used against me. So don't be surprised if I end up not talking much, or not talking to you at all.

MaraxHooves · 2017-05-13T11:20:07+00:00

Women are so boring. It's always a relief at one of these crappy social functions when a guy throws off his chains and talks about something interesting.

The biggest reason I stopped dating 4 years ago is not to avoid abuse. It's because women make me literally fall asleep mid-conversation.

Train_Guy91 · 2017-05-13T15:49:37+00:00

Mhm yep, men are the boring ones. That's why on our dating profile we put loves to laugh and drink wine and binge netflix. Women really don't have the capability to self reflect do they? Every guy I know has a hobby or some interesting thing going on. Its always the girls who dont do shit

wathon · 2017-05-13T13:09:43+00:00

Men are boring because these women watched way too many romantic Hollywood movies. They have drank the koolaid for far too long, and they expect every man to be like the one in movie.

Whiskeybandit67 · 2017-05-13T11:08:26+00:00

Men are boring so we should become lesbians then we won't be lonely in our old age.

silive · 2017-05-13T11:59:47+00:00

And why would any self-respecting man care if some bitches believe he's boring? No, I don't thinks so. Not my circus, not my monkeys. MGTOW! P.S. Could not read that "article" beyond the second paragraph because it's BORING!

Judah_Earl · 2017-05-13T14:19:39+00:00

I was called 'boring' because I don't watch reality TV.

ghost_Rogue · 2017-05-13T14:52:24+00:00

The part in this article about men being systematic and women empathic is such bullshit.

The only people in my life who have shown empathy when I was at a low point were men. I have a lot of empathy for others.

Women? Empathetic? Don't make me laugh. Everyone knows the girl who laughed at her ex for trying to get her back. The woman who left her husband and kids to "find herself".

Women take no responsibility and don't work through issues with men who are only TRYING to understand what's on the woman's mind, but simply expect men to "just get it" and leave for the next cock once their man has become boring or "lost frame" and doesn't "get it".

And when those men are sad, who will be there for them? A female best friend? Don't even make me laugh.

I won't say it's only a female thing as plenty of guys are unempathatic assholes too. Seems like as a man you can only rely on yourself for empathy. And if you are lucky, a few close male friends.

DigitalScetis · 2017-05-13T19:07:43+00:00

People who crave excitement and danger include many boys and nearly all women. They crave it because they don't know it.

Most men I know are glad to lead a boring life, because a boring life means a life under control. What women call exciting, men call stressful, costly, inefficient or regretful. Excitement is what happens when the world goes down the tubes, forcing you to respond. It's not something men seek out; it is what we spend our time avoiding, and for good reason.

Because when things go wrong, a woman can always damsel herself out of the mess. She gets the thrill of danger, without the wages of danger. But the man? He not only bears the full weight of his risks in life, but her risks as well.

"I just want him to talk about how awesome I am. Talk of responsibility and bills and sacrifice? Girl, that's slave shop talk! Don't bother my beautiful mind with that!"

TigPlaze · 2017-05-13T15:09:44+00:00

Most men probably aren't great at being an entertainer 24/7 for some slut to prevent her from getting bored and monkey branching over to the next shiny dude. So, in that sense, yes, men are boring.

WhistlingAlong · 2017-05-13T15:24:59+00:00

On the contrary. All of us here, even on our worst days can absolutely crush and go above and beyond with all our acquired experience, knowledge and hobbies and nonstop wow others. We gave it an honest try to make it great for everyone, got shutdown and now we enjoy being great and above and beyond for our own self.

BukM1 · 2017-05-13T16:13:22+00:00

when was the last time you genuinely hurt your sides from laughing so much from your female friends jokes/stories?

Exactly!!

MajorBeef24 · 2017-05-13T16:15:00+00:00

Are women boring? Hmmmm... Little to no hobbies or interests or passions? Check A narrow range and shallow depth of knowledge? Check Unwillingness to discuss anything deep, even if they do know about it? And prefer to talk about mundane shit like TV? Check x2 Little to no ambitions and desires, excluding those that revolve around getting lots of money and shallow status-sigalling decorative itens? Check Good, creative ideas that totally aren't all just copied off other people? Yep Not going to debate anything controversial because they can't handle being politely and rationally disagreed with? Check... Always having "socially approved" opinions rather than interesting, fresh perspectives. Just the same predictable crap they got straight from TV news? Check. Laziness and/or fear and/or stubbornness holding them and their "partners" back from doing fun stuff and travelling etc? Indeed. Having a tendency to be over-serious and too worried about appearance and paranoid about "safety" to just let themselves go and have fun on a night out, holiday, party etc. Will rely on men to entertain them rather than create more mutual entertainment for everyone? Checkmate. I'm done.

This list is long enough now. Many woman are just piss-boring, and the average/typical woman is pretty hollow and dull too - ticking most of these criteria. Most men I'm friends with, and a few women, only tick a couple of these - hence why I'm friends with them since I avoid people who tick too many (unless they're some poor male friend's girlfriend h

Generalisation mode on of course, if over half of women fit each thing I'll consider it representative of women as a whole (because it fucking is). I have a few female friends (literally just three at a push compared to tens of male friends) who are interesting people and don't fit this, but there are always exceptions and exceptions do not break the rule, they make the rule.

Connorconzo · 2017-05-13T20:31:50+00:00

I have lost count of the amount of times I've been called boring for not being interested in trivial shit.

androenergy · 2017-05-13T12:45:52+00:00

"A straw poll among friends and relations would suggest the contention is so irrefutable that evidence is barely necessary"...these kinds of gals get plenty of mileage out of this type of statement

Prudence Barratt makes a similar point: “Men now are not interesting because they are not interested in you. They’ve stopped making an effort to look beyond themselves because there is nothing in it for them. Perhaps it’s something to do with the drop in testosterone.” (And there I was looking for an orgasm.)

Ding ding ding, we have a winner here folks. This is revealing about the author on so many levels.

1) the wall hits hard and the good ones get married. Men mainly want women for sex

2) shame the men for "loosing testosterone" in there old age. Could it be that he has better impulse control now? Probably not because...

3) Life is all about women. Solipsism. Even though she JUST slammed men for not being horny she's the victim because she wanted sex that very minute.

scotFree66 · 2017-05-13T19:10:47+00:00

On reading this article my opinion on wimmen has been confirmed once again: totally solipsistic & expecting the men to 'entertain' them.

Train_Guy91 · 2017-05-13T19:18:24+00:00

I don't mind talking to women, but in my experience their knowledge of and interest in the actual things and events of life is pretty limited. If we're out doing some sport or activity, we can talk about whatever equipment we're using for instance but they get bored pretty fast. Men do things and know things, women dabble.

“It’s to do with macho-ness. The more macho a man is, the more boring he can be – that’s why gay men are generally better company. When macho men talk about their work, they have a point to make. They want to drum it home.

Totally separate point, but I grew up around laconic working class types. I don't mind being alone but I don't really like being around dumb uneducated blocks of wood with nothing to say. If not saying anything reads as alpha to women, I'll bet women with (before marriage) small asses culled talkative nerdy guys from their lives long ago. Not enough tingles.

“There seems to be a genuinely primitive pairing,” she goes on, “between vivacious chatty women and men who are the opposite.

There you go.

jdjs123 · 2017-05-13T20:06:35+00:00

My boss won't shut the fuck up. When she starts a story I cringe inside. It always 20 minutes of some bullshit about something she saw on TV. When she is out I can go all day without saying a word.

Steber42 · 2017-05-14T01:19:04+00:00

With the women in my life, I can't talk about how stuff works, nothing mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological, etc. I can't talk about concepts, ideas, abstract associations, or hypotheticals that don't related to them. I can't bring up challenging or unpopular topics. Can say nothing that isn't the most politically correct. I'm not allowed to discuss the big questions like what's our purpose, why are we here. And I absolutely cannot talk about all the short skirts, tight pants, and low cut tops I encounter every day at work.

Yes. I'm pretty boring.

QraQen · 2017-05-14T01:46:28+00:00

after so many years of being a shrill Feminist, men are no longer joking around with me :' (

Dug your own ditch there eh.

“The most boring thing”, I airily said to the psychotherapist Jock Encombe, “is arrogance, isn’t it?”

Is this woman literally incapable of introspection? Holy fuck.

New_User1984 · 2017-05-14T02:58:30+00:00

No we just hold different interest. I'm going to let you in on a secret: we think you are boring

Luce_Bree · 2017-05-13T16:41:09+00:00

I love the base assumption that women are interesting.

mgtowOnly · 2017-05-14T02:17:39+00:00

If having fully funded 401K and IRA accounts, budgeting, investing, advancing in my career and not flying by the seat of my pants means I'm boring then I'm boring.
