Men will tolerate a lot, but a woman who ‘talks’ (cough/criticize/cough) constantly will just get ignored.

Truth to God, before AND after marriage.

Let’s see, how does that go....it’s better to live on the corner of your roof then be married to a nagging wife?

Women talking is why God invented white noise.

To Sarah Bridge:

Perhaps you should consider the fact that the only consistent feature in all of your failed relationships is YOU.

“Yes, snippy,” he said. “Abrupt. Critical. If someone says or does something wrong, then you’re onto it straight away. Men will ignore a lot of things if they fancy someone — a weird dress sense, or taking hours getting ready to go out — but they hate being put down or made to feel small. ....."
 
The money line.  Keep the judgement crap to yerself and you get tons of mileage for doing absolutely nothing.
 
Keep up the small talk(small minded and petty) and "You're Fired".
 
BTW, I have been saying that since I was a teenager.  Ask anyone who knows me.

*sigh* My ex firmly believe that there was no problem so big that it couldn’t be talked into a coma.

My personal experience, re-entering the dating game at 40, is those women who have never been married by their late 30s by and large have certain common traits.

Yes, I know you can earn your own money and live your own life, doesn’t bother me a bit, so check the womens’ lib at the door.

What I do find as a general common theme, a basic and fundamental misunderstanding of men, and completely unrealistic expectations. Frankly, most are selfish, not evil, not bad, just selfish, and in ways they don’t recognize. Its not that they don’t neccessarily appreciate someone, or like someone, or even love someone... its just there is too much “ME” in their entire thinking. Not saying ME should not be important, but if you want a relationship you have to be able to adjust that thinking to “US”... and I find most older single, never married women, aren’t able to do that easily.

I suspect this is probably true of most people (men and women) who are late 30s and never been married.... tehy are set in their ways, and never had to concern themselves with much beyond what they want.

Obviously this is a generalization based on personal experience, and not suggesting there are not exceptions to this.

I read the accompanying article (The “Am I too critical” one). It is amazing the number of women that seem to think they should be able to be obnoxious and still land a guy.

I read somewhere that one of the things that women subconsciously rate men on is how much the talk. Women love chatterbox men.

Men think chatterbox men are gay.

My wife is under the mistaken impression that any problem, no matter how small, should be TALKED about - beaten to death - over-analyzed - and fought over. She actually expects some epiphenous breakthrough - some beam of light to come through the parting clouds - and the issue will be resolved.

That only happens in the movies.

In real life fighting over small stuff just means you spend a lot of time fighting.

The article is about the content of the talk, not the quantity. Everyone should be polite, considerate, and circumspect.

Liberal American females are brought up today to be narcissitic parasitical sadistic obsessive-compulsive collectivist morons with delusions of godhood.

Other than that, they’re fine.
