Welcome back ladies. This week, I had several women ask me questions about why guys hate stuff even though girls love it. So this week I’m going to try and explain why guys hate this stuff that you ladies love. Here are 25 things that woman love and guys hate. Hopefully at the end of this article, you’ll hate how much you loved reading this.
 
1. Talking
Most of the time (all the time) when you need to talk, we don’t. You may insist it’s “for the best,” but we beg to differ.
 
2. Makeup
I know what you’re thinking, “But I look so much better when I wear it?!” All I have to say to this is: Just a little bit goes a long way.

3. Fruity Drinks
We know you love ’em, but to us, they’re disgusting. I don’t care if it’s supposed to taste like cotton candy; it’s gross and get it out of my face.
 
4. Meeting the Parents
You always want us to meet the family. You know how much pressure that puts on us? For once, we have to kiss someone’s butt, other than yours.
 
5. Personality Quizzes
Finding out what we are going to be in life, or what the rest of our month going to be like is much simpler than you think; even simpler than answering mind-boggling questions in the latest Cosmo.
 
6. Enrique Iglesias
His music just embodies sexual tension, something guys really don’t want to hear another man singing and grunting about. We will give him knucks for that stint with Anna Kournikova, whatever that was.

7. Counting Calories
Guys really aren’t in the spirit of shopping around fast food joints at 2 in the morning, but you need to get something with fewer calories, so we do, and we end up with something disgusting like a burrito from Del Taco.
 
8. Elliptical Machines
Even if we don’t like using them, we do like watching you use them.
 
9. Sarah Jessica Parker
Whatever she’s doing, it seems like guys are the only ones that knows she needs to stop. Sex in the City with her? No thanks.
 
10. Shopping
We all know you ladies love to shop, just about as much as we don’t like to. See what I did there?
 
11. Nicholas Sparks Books
I imagine even if you had a man read one of these books, we still wouldn’t even get the point of it. I’d rather watch Rachel McAdams act out a couple chapters instead.
 
12. Oversized Purses
Why are girls carrying around these gigantic bags from class to class? I was unaware we had classes that are weeks long. How much stuff do you really need for an hour class?!

13. Dancing
There are a few exceptions out there, but really, a guy that’s good at dancing? The best moves you’re going to be able to get out of most of us are a little hip sway.
 
14. Movies about Dancing
I just told you we hate doing it? Why would you think we would want to sit in a dark auditorium watching it…sorry Kevin Bacon.
 
15. Froyo
What’s the big deal, tastes the same as ice cream to me, but I guess it’s fat free? Please refer to number #7.
 
16. Gilmore Girls
Don’t get me wrong, I just adore wasting my time watching Rory Gilmore struggle through life and discussing her every problem with her best-friend mother. Please tell me there’s something on the next channel.
 
17. Gossip
As much as you care, and you want us to know how much you care, we don’t. We really could care less about what she did to you and why he did that to her. (Continue nodding head.)
 
18. Justin Bieber
This miniature-sized millionaire just seems to speak to the hearts of every teenaged, broken-hearted soul. I give him another year till his voice drops; then we’ll have the last laugh.

19. Miniature Dogs
Please see #18.
 
20. Ponies
Why do you girls just love smaller stuff? I mean, I’m like 5’7”, but I can’t get a date to save my life.
 
21. Horses
You thought you were clear with just ponies, right? No way. Horses are just a weird animal; I mean, look at that face. There’s a reason people ride on top of them, so we don’t have to look at that weird, oversized nose/mouth/teethholder.

22. Anything on ABC Family
The Secret Life of The American Teenager. Hmm, a show about a girl getting ridiculed in high school after some slick-haired womanizer knocks her up. Haven’t I seen this one already?
 
23. Lifetime movies
Oh please, there’s a reason you’re watching this movie on your 12-inch television screen and not in the theaters. But hey, it’s a true story. Well, I prefer wizards killing vampires while trying to destroy a ring that turns them into a web-slinging superhero.
 
24. Mind Games
You think guys are hard to figure out!? Literally, we aren’t doing this on purpose; we aren’t capable of that level of trickery. But you on the other hand, just have to play and toy with us. Just stop, unless your dad’s the Monopoly Man, I’m not playing with you.
 
25. Staring Contests
Ever wondering what we are thinking about? Must be something significant since we have such a profound look on our face as we stare into space. Reality check – we aren’t thinking about anything, so stop giving us that weird look back.
 
Those are my 25 things that guys hate and girls love. You think you have changed your man, so he loves this stuff, eh? Wrong. No matter how much black magic you use on us, this is just not our thing. Get on with your bad self and I’ll see you next week.
