Why do women make hints about things, an expect men to know exactly what they mean? ( example "Its a beautiful day outside, why are we wasting it indoors" instead of just saying " let's go do something outside together"?)

I am a woman and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY WE DO THAT...I do it too...it drives my guy NUTS.
-
I don't really know why we do that. I guess because we want men to step it up!
-
Because they were created to torment men. If a woman ever asks do these clothes make me look fat? Change the subject immediately.

Good question Audiotron. I think it's because women and men are wired differently----women's minds tend to go from one place to the other, from point A to C, then C to B, then back to A again---- they love nuances in meaning, changes in direction. Men are goal directed----they love direct answers, getting to the meaning of things, from point A to B in a flash, and are decisive, forceful, and definite. Just like when I go shopping with my wife----she can spend an hour browsing and looking for this and that, while I just take 15 minutes, buy the thing I need and want, and get the h*ll out of there! lol.

I don't think it's limited to women. It's the art of manipulation. They are trying to get you to think it was your idea. When you pick up on it then they need more practice. :)

To women, that "hint" is OBVIOUS - It means just what you said - "Let's go do something outside together." Women are more abstract than men. To men, it means, "It's a beautiful day outside. Why are we wasting it indoors?" which simply requires a response of something like "TV... Computer game... I don't know ... or uh (grunt)", and nothing else. Men are more literal. Except when it comes to sex. Seems we can take THOSE hints pretty well! LOL That's about it! ;-)

if you can't get something like "it's a beautiful day outside, why are we wasting it indoors" then you've really got the blinders on. Now, if it was phrased like "it's a nice day outside" and nothing else was stated after, then i can see the confusion. My experience is that women generally make an observation about something to get a man "sort of listening" and then ask the question part afterwords, because if you're sitting there playing Halo and she says "lets go outside" you hear "nag nag nag, quit playing games jerk".

Because we want you men to put the playstation controller down and say "yeah hun why am I wasting time playing this stupid game?" we could do so many other things like work on the back yard, wash our cars, clean out the storage room, clean out the garage, you know the things that women always get stuck with because we actually care!! omg, can you tell i'm about to lose it??

Because men don't like to be told what to do! And god forbid we say something it's not like you'll listen anyway, so we hint and then your pissed off?? OMG what planet are you men from??
