8 things men hate and women love

In the interests of a continuing a harmonious relationship with my husband, I have been doing a bit of research to find out what men really hate.

All I can say is that it’s been eye-opening. Because according the askmen.com their definitive list of things men hate is the definitive list of things I (and most women) love. So for the last 25 years I have been making my husband do things he really hates. He must really love me.

And how do I know that he hates these things? I asked him and he confirmed it. And am I going to give these things up for him? No I am not. He’ll have to suck it up buttercup, just like he’s done for the last 25 years.

So here is the list (I’ve left out stuff I hate too)

  • Going for coffee. Men would much prefer to go to the pub. That’s why takeaway coffee was invented.
  • Little dogs(they call them rat dogs). Real men have Labradors.
  • Musicals. Why sing what you can say it in one tenth of the time.
  • Control underwear. Two words–Bridget Jones.
  • Valentine’s Day.Expensive flowers, themed dinners, seating times in restaurants. What’s not to hate?
  • Salad as a meal. Meat is a meal.  Vegetable is a side dish.
  • Interior decorating shows. It’s not my home, who cares?
  • Oprah and Dr Phil. This is why we work through the day.

Greeting cards, knick knacks and ice skating were also on the list, but even I think they’re poxy.
