A lot of married men share this fear (or is it pet peeve?): nagging wives.
Conversely, a lot of women seem to think men are stupid because we do not listen to them and go ahead and do the things that are to them inane. Sometimes they are right. Having a different perspective does that.
Women also complain a lot that their men do not listen to them, which is a good point for the following reason; we rarely marry women for their ideas or input. To be clear, we do not marry women to think. We marry to have a housekeeper, to be given unlimited sex, to sire babies, and the few rare men that marry for companionship.Okay, maybe they are not so few.
As a result, they tend to try and shout or talk repetitively about the things they want to see happen and it is at this point that they start sounding like broken printers; fucking woodpeckers hammering our brains with noise when all we want is peace and quiet. Many men therefore quickly agree to get them to shut up or go to the bar because it is quieter than their own houses.
We men are generally clear - even if just to ourselves - about our reasons for doing things, and tend to compartmentalise almost everything we do because we are built to thrive on order. Therefore, if a thing is acquired for a specific purpose, that is the purpose for which it will be used and no other.
If we are stuck, we generally have people to whom we run for ideas and because "our loves" are not those people, we disregard their input.
If you are a wise person, you will know what to do with the information I have shared above.
