CRAIG'S CALL

Here's the other side of women

Is nagging part of a woman's persona?

Women. They're the reason why man built empires, monuments and waged wars. Women are our destiny (well, at least, they are for most of us). But it's not like they're the last word on everything and our entire existence revolves around them. Women are what we strive for because they make our lives a lot easier. They ease tension, make time stop and most important, they have this unimaginable ability to make us forget our worst days and smile childishly as long as we're with them. But this article isn't about the nice things that women do and the way they make us feel. It's about the other side of women, the side every man fears to tread, the side every man tries to change, but would die trying and eventually burn in the scorching heat that would befall him. This article is about that one capacity that would make a man run or end his life if it's directed at him — "the way women nag!"

Now, remember how in my last article I said men nag and whine, but take it too far when the nagging is about women and relationships. But this is second nature to most women. It's a large part of their personality, and boy, do the sessions become bad sometimes! Since I said I was going to write about it, I spoke to a few women about why it is that they do the speeches they do whenever there's more than one of their kind together in a room. And I know there are volumes I could write on the topic, but I am male and that alone would make every woman who would read this automatically brand me as someone who doesn't know what it's all about. So here (and in words of your own) is why women do the nagging that they do, be it about relationships or anything else regarding men (because everything else would just be too complicated). According to women, the reason they nag men is because we apparently don't do enough to make them happy, be it materialistically, physically or mentally. We just don't do enough. And also, according to women, they nag men because that's just the way it is (Now remember this was told to me by women themselves). If this is the reason women nag, then how do you make a woman happy? They're never happy. They're amused from time to time but they're never happy or satisfied enough to just let things go. That's because women want everything, but at the same time don't know what to start with. Ask a woman to make dinner plans, the answer will be "anywhere!" but at the same time, she'll say no to every restaurant you suggest. A romantic evening? She'll always find that one small flaw that'll ruin the evening, but will still go on with it because of the hard work you've done. At the same time, she will tell all her friends the next day that the evening was nice, but you could've done much better. They'll expect you to lend them a shoulder to cry on, then get angry because you never said enough to ease the pain and if you do try to console them, they'll get angry because you're talking too much and not listening. So, how do you make a woman happy? Well, that answer, I'm sure, not even God knows. But as far as the nagging is concerned, Ladies, go easy on us, we're still evolving. And Men, buy earplugs, that's my only solution.
