Aussie Ladies and Men Spill All: 10 Things I Hate About You

Love ‘em, hate ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. The opposite sex can be so infuriating and when I asked a few Aussie men and women what they hated about each other, this is the list they came up with.

Here’s what the ladies had to say to the guys:

1. You never mean what you say.
2. You’re allergic to PDA (Public Display of Affection) like I’m an infection you don’t want to catch.
3. You can never repeat a story without leaving the best bits out. But you remember every dirty joke you’ve ever heard!
4. You never want to talk about your feelings.
5. You won’t ask for directions, even in the supermarket!
6. You take everything at face value, without paying attention to the way we’re saying it, or the tone we’re using.
7. You only have one thing on your mind. If not, it’s footy or cricket.
8. You hate it when I can do a “guy thing” better than you. (Read a map, use technology, jumpstart a car, put in a light bulb etc!)
9. You’re so easily distracted…by the telly, by another girl, by the phone, or any moving object. But I can never distract you from something else!
10. My eyes are up here!

This is what the boys said to the girls:

1. You never say what you mean.
2. You cry. All the time.
3. You get angry with us. Make us guess the reason but we never get it right. And then you cry.
4. You always want to talk – about your feelings and mine.
5. You can’t take a compliment. You get paranoid no matter what we say. And then cry.
6. You analyse every word that comes out of our mouths.
7. You go everywhere in groups. Especially to the bathroom.
8. You criticise the music we listen to, the way we dress, the way we speak, the friends we have, everything about us!
9. You conveniently blame everything on PMS!
10. You always “need” more clothes/shoes/bags/belts/make up etc. You don’t “need” them. You just “want” them.

I had a good laugh with these ones. But while I was typing this out, I remembered that 90’s movie ’10 Things I Hate About You’ with Julia Stiles and the late Heath Ledger. So you’ve absolutely got to have a read of this one because no matter how much you hate the opposite sex, you’ll fall in love again after this.

I hate the way you talk to me,
And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots,
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much that it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you're not around,
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Awww…now that’s got to melt your heart.

Anyway, so what drives you mad girls and boys? Drop me a line because I’m sure there’s more than just 10 on a list like this.
