6 annoying things men do

Published: July 14, 2012

Generally we love them, but these habits just drive us up the wall. PHOTO: FILE

1- Talking incessantly about comic books and super heroes

How can anyone take flying men wearing capes and underwear on the outside seriously?

2- Bragging

Get two men in the same room and they’ll instantly launch into a comparison war about their bank balances, people they know, cars they own, and mobile phones they carry.

3- Obsessing over their mother

No matter how evil and conniving she may be, somehow they will only see her as Mother Teresa reincarnated.

4- Not tipping well

When we start dating them, they smile at waiters and are overly generous with tips. But as soon as they know we’re hooked, the penny pinching starts to surface.

5- Obsessing over well-endowed celebs

They can BS all they like about Scarlett Johansson’s acting skills, but we know that the only reason their eyes are bulging throughout the film is due to her visible assets.

6 - The strange eating/drinking habits

It’s beyond our understanding how easily men can digest one-week old pizza and down a litre of flat Coke first thing in the morning.

    Exactly. What is the purpose of this post, especially when there are so many men I know who hardly do 1 of the above mentioned things, the last one, and I know for a fact that this is not a man specific thing.

    Wow a new low in the degrading editorial and publishing quality of ET. ET is increasingly looking like a supermarket rag.

    Haha… if you wanted to bash men, the least you could have done was to come up with something genuinely interesting rather than this lame list :-)

    I have yet to meet a woman/girl who think HER mother as conniving, evil and not mother Teressa. Also, as is well known, men mostly care about the bank balance and cars because the women in their life want them to have big ones.

    And its women who constantly remind their husbands that the husband of my such and such friend makes so much and has such big cars.
