LONDON - Men and women still have a string of complaints about each other till today, a new survey has revealed. The survey was conducted on 2,000 people by laundry firm Dr Beckmann. “Our research shows the veneer of metrosexuality and ‘new man’ is wearing very thin and that men are as annoying as ever,” the Daily Express quoted Susan Fermor, a spokesman for the firm, as saying. “Women are no angels either. We may be in the 21st century but we still annoy the opposite sex in exactly the same way we have been doing for millennia,” she said.
The top most habit that men find annoying is women saying “I’m fine” when they’re clearly not. More than 40 per cent of the men pinpointed this trait as the one that most drives them up the wall.
Another reason is that women talk too much. In the 80’s, the book ‘Man Made Language’ by Dale Spender said: “It’s just that men think women talk more. That’s because there is a mismatch in what the sexes talk about.”
The third most annoying habit of women is that they constantly ask what men are thinking.
Another reason is that women win arguments by crying, which according to Sweet, have two sides to this.
The last among the top five list is that women never say “sorry” even when they are wrong.
As men could get annoyed by women’s habit, women too are offended by men’s behavior.
The top most habit that women find annoying in men is that they don’t listen properly. Second in the list is that men don’t put the toilet seat down.
Thirdly, men leave toe-nail clippings and beard shavings where ever they fall.
Another reason is that men have friends that their other half don’t like.
