10 Ways To Stop Women From Nagging

When a man says something more than once, he is being assertive. And when a woman says something twice, she is nagging. Our society is full of such prejudices against women. However, it is a fact that women are more insistent than men when it comes to having their way about some things. And men hate nothing more than nagging women. If you have a nagging wife or girlfriend, you can definitely empathise with what we are saying.

MOST ANNOYING THINGS THAT INDIAN WOMEN DO

Women cannot stop nagging because it is in their nature. If you accept this as universal fact, your life becomes a lot easier. If you really want to escape nagging, then you have to understand why women nag. Make a spreadsheet of the reasons that make women take to nagging and then work around it. That is the best and only effective way to deal with a nagging woman.

It is no point telling a woman to stop nagging because it is beyond her control. It would be much better for men to understand and avoid the issues that make women nag. Here is a list of the things that you can do to prevent women from nagging you.

Know Their PMS Dates

Learn Some Basic Hygiene

The place for the wet towel is not on the bed or floor. In fact, the place for a wet towel is where she can not see it. And toilet seat must always be down. And remember not to smoke in the loo; that's basic manners.

'Hmm' Does Not Make A Suitable Response

'Hmm' Does Not Make A Suitable Response

Send Her Shopping With Her Friends

Never Praise Other Women

When you want to say something good about other women in your life like your mother, friend, sister or colleague, then make it short and inconspicuous. Don't launch into a speech because there will be hell to pay later.

If You Want To Help In Kitchen, Make It Neat

If You Want To Help In Kitchen, Make It Neat

Checking Out Other Women Is An Art

Checking Out Other Women Is An Art

Do not gawk at other beauties shamelessly. Checking out women (which means 'other' women) is an art. Do it subtly like a classy guy and you will give her one reason less to nag you.

Never Talk About Your Mother

Never Talk About Your Mother

You can compare her to your neighbour, your boss or the President of the country, but never compare her to your mother. Such comparisons are food for nagging women.

It's Always Her Choice

It's Always Her Choice

When it comes to choosing the furniture, television, curtains or any other household items, let her have her way. If you try to put your word in and there is some problem with the object later on, she will nag you relentlessly.
