The last point is sadly very common - SIL is a family lawyer and this is a trick that is used in the guise of 'doing the best for my children' when the majority of the time it's patently the opposite.

You mean cumbrella

And expecting, expecting nice things to be said or done...cant get mad when you don't get or hear nice things...and if you don't like it then leave, that person isn't nice!

I´m a straight woman and i find duckface and every other stupid ´cute´ grimace women (and men too!) do on photos/social media as massive cringe.

"Yeah I steal change from homeless people! I'm quirky like that!" *insert childish giggle sound*

and baby-speak from #4

I read that in a Scottish accent and it's freaking hilarious.

Oh I thought it was calling a pig - that's funny. Speaking like a toddler not funny

This is not a girl ick, this is a human ick. Same goes for "cherry picking" social issues i.e. caring about housing affordability for the middle class but not giving a s**t about homelessness.

i think this applies to everyone, not just women no?

These entitled people most often turn out to be narcissists. And you better keep them as far away from you as possible

Guy, "So, what did I say/do wrong to upset you?" Either *silence* or "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you"

Yikes, do they want to date you or be adopted by you? BTW, how old are we talking here, guys? Be sure you find that out, and confirm it, first, OK?

Seriously sexist, actually. Why should every man conform to your screwed-up notions of masculinity? How about trying a compliment, sometimes: "Wow, the place looks great!" "Hey, you're looking good today." You know, simple stuff just exactly like the stuff you like.

Sure both men and women do vile things,but this is about what guys dislike in women,not everyone

This is usually due to a lack of empathy and failure to appreciate someone else's viewpoint, nothing to do with women specifically

I think most of the time this is just caused by body dysmorphia, which needs psychiatric attention, but it could also just be someone being an a*****e. Both need addressing but for different reasons.

That's something that should be taught by parents at a very young age

The key is making them understand that they hurt you, no matter how much you don't want to, let them know they f****d up and stick to your right to feel hurt/betrayed/angry/annoyed, HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT!!

Being oblivious

That's just control freak behavior. And it's very, very annoying and tiring.

Honestly, that goes both ways

Even true with kids. How can I expect them to own up to their mistakes if I can't. I'm the first to say I messed up and I'm sorry. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes including me.

I can't speak for all women (mainly because I'm a man) but I had an ex that did this. Truth is that she was very insecure and overcompensated for that in social settings. I have broad shoulders so could tolerate it to a point, but would tell her if she crossed a line. It's not why we broke up.

I'm...not going to say what I thought the picture was.

This one is weird. My husband sometimes wonders why I'm so stressed because he has a live in the moment attitude. Unfortunately, that means that (even though I am not a natural planner or organiser) I am the one to remember birthdays, what size clothes the kids wear, where every single thing in the house is, what needs fixing, etc. It is endless. This mental load is a problem that many women have. "Just chill, why are you so upset about everything?" is probably not a helpful thing to say. Try: "You seem very stressed at the moment. Is there anything I can help with?" and really listen to the response. If she says: "Oh, it doesn't matter, I just have a lot to do", say: "Tell me three things right now that I can do for you."

Some people who do this expect you to also talk about yourself without being asked.

THIS! Nobody is telepathic and certainly can’t tell what you’re feeling, especially if you lie about it. Communication is the key to success in personal relationships- don’t undermine it
