5 Worst Habits of Women

Of course not all women have these habits. Some have one of them, some have all, and some have none. Habits of women can’t be generalized, but there is a trend. My apologies to all women when this list sounds as if they all were the same, I simplified.

Nagging

woman-nagging

Women like to nag, it’s a problem as old as humankind. Already ancient Greeks knew this habit of women, Hera was annoying Zeus with doing it too much, Socrates’ wife Xanthippe has become the quintessential nagging woman.

Maybe only men sense it as nagging and women have good reason to be like that. They want to be forceful after saying something again and again without success. What they don’t realize is that there’s a reason for having no success. Men simply need to be told things in a different way.

Being irrational

irritating-woman

Ever tried to explain to a woman something in a reasonable and logical way, only to have her reply: ‘Yes but for me it’s different.’? It’s a typical way for a woman to be irrational and drive a man crazy. She simply doesn’t want to understand, she wants to tell how she sees the world or herself. Men would do better to accept that and give up trying to explain or disagree.

Being over emotional is another side of this habit. Instead of staying calm and thinking a situation over women react over emotional, break out in tears, get hysterical or angry and start throwing things. Best to wait until the attack is over and her brain starts working more rational again.

Buying too much

shopping-2-much

Spending too much on shoes, handbags and clothes is not only a bad habit, it can be an addiction for some women. Like all addictions, it can become an expensive problem.

Even when it’s not that bad most men can’t understand why someone needs 40 pairs of shoes, 20 handbags or a new outfit every two weeks. Most men also don’t enjoy spending a lot of time before changing rooms waiting for a woman who can’t decide if this or that skirt looks better, especially if they were asked and told more than once which one they prefer.

It would be better for relationships if women would only spend as much as they can afford easily and take their best girlfriend for shopping tours.

Bitchiness

bitchness

Women often have troubles working in a team, especially with other women. It’s a kind of jealousy; they want to be the best, a queen, or even the only woman around. They can be that way with friends, as well. Wherever women meet there is potential for jealousy.

Best for men to stay out of it. If it’s their wife or girlfriend, they could try calming her down. As long a they never side with the other woman.Best for men to stay out of it or try to calm.

Gossiping

gossiping

Women are more talkative than men. They talk longer and more often on the phone. They like to talk about a lot of things with their best girlfriend or with female family members. That’s a social skill and society needs it, but it becomes a bad habit easily when it’s all about gossip.

Women should settle for gossip about celebrities on TV or in magazines . Intimate details of their friends should be treated discreetly, their partners have a right to privacy.

    1. Your shock at such an innocuous article is precious.
    2. Citation is irrelevant in the opinion pieces on this site. You obviously felt no need to cite anything to support your position either. I'm just saying.
    3. You mention a contradiction in the first paragraph, but conveniently missed the two preceding sentences: "Of course not all women have these habits. Some have one of them, some have all, and some have none."
    4. Lots of stereotypes develop because they are observed in reality. The fact that something is a stereotype does not negate whether it's true or not.
    5. You said, "stereotypes that have since to be proven wrong". Your sentence actually agrees with the article, but from your tone I can tell you meant to write, "stereotypes that have been proven wrong". That's a bold reference to evidence. Where's your citation for that? I'm just holding you to your own standard.
    6. You said, "The habits of any group of people... cannot be generalized". Perhaps you are not particularly observant, but while indiviuals may differ there can be observations made about trends that appear when groups are under the microscope. Observing more people leads to an increasingly accurate view of the average person.
    7. You said, "People are complex beings that cannot be grouped into categories". Haven't you heard of demographics and target markets? Perhaps you think that's all done just for kicks.
    8. You said, "Our minds have a very strange habit of putting things in categories so that we may better understand them, however, it is not always accurate." It doesn't have to be "always accurate" to be accurate most of the time (which need only be 51% to be usefully accurate).
    9. You're correct that these can be attributed to some men, but that doesn't negate that they apply to some women. I look forward to a 'bad habits of men' list, by the way.
    10. You said, "I’m sorry that you’ve been affected so much by the media and other social stimuli...". I'm sorry you've been so affected by the anti-mainstream media and social stimuli that you can't recognise some truths.

    I'll repeat the part that most negative commenters on this article seem to forget in their knee-jerk reaction to the bad habits of some women:
    "Of course not all women have these habits. Some have one of them, some have all, and some have none."

    I was hoping for a bit more effort rather than the usual cliched tripe. Not to be. 0 stars.
  • R-Bek
    I've got to say that I'm completely and utterly shocked at the lack of shame you have in posting an article like this. Especially one that is completely unfounded in citation, and only goes off of age long stereotypes that have since to be proven wrong.

    Let's start with the immediate contradiction that is made in the first paragraph."Habits of women can’t be generalized, but there is a trend. My apologies to all women when this list sounds as if they all were the same, I simplified." If habits of women can't be generalized, then how could you possibly be able to simplify? The habits of any group of people, whether grouped by sexual orientation, race, gender, etc. cannot be generalized. And I can definitely tell you that there is no trend either. People are complex beings that cannot be grouped into categories, as much as we've been socialized and like to think that they can. Our minds have a very strange habit of putting things in categories so that we may better understand them, however, it is not always accurate.

    The fact that you have the nerve to even think these things about women is really quite ridiculous. When reading each of your sections of this article, I noticed that these can also be attributed to men. Also, that much of what you pointed out-- for example, women being more emotion-- can be attributed to the socialization of women and the female gender role. However, you have to accept that men can ALSO have the "habits" that you described above. You cannot place women into these categories and expect any sort of accuracy at all.

    I'm sorry that you've been affected so much by the media and other social stimuli that you actually think these things are true; but I think you should stick with the initial thought you had at the beginning: "Habits of women cannot be generalized"

    These are personality traits that apply to SOME members of BOTH GENDERS.
    Do not make sweeping stereotypes about women. It hurts to hear that such views are circulated and tolerated.
  • lilith
    can you be more cliché then this?
    thanks for fueling society prejudices and helping to make these false assumptions a sad reality. it is because of this kind of thinking that our world changes so slowly.
