Despite our constant complaining -- girls are too hormonal, too emotional, too needy -- guys have a real affection for the fairer sex. Where we dudes are crass, belching brutes, you ladies are delicate flowers meant to be cherished and admired. But let's be clear about one thing -- even delicate flowers can be annoying as hell. You twirl your hair, pretend to be lesbians while dancing to bad electronic music, and expect us to settle into monogamy as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
Here's a list of ten things you should quit doing in order to make the world a better place.

This is so stupid. So many double standards! As a pot smoking, tattooed woman who occassionally twirls her hair I take offense! Did it ever occur to you that some of these girls might just be way too bad ass for the writer? LAME!

Scott Indirsek- you ignorant putz. Next time your heterophobic mind decides to write an article about something you clearly know nothing about, please run it by the very few Lemondrop writers that know a little something of what they research. Either that or ask your man whore boyfriend to drop your sack long enough for you to ask your editor for his/her forgiveness.

Scott Indrisek threatened me with gobs of emails because somebody identifying themselves as this buttmunch wrote some posts he disagrees with. The jokes on you, you mysogynistic freak. This is the internet. I will go after you as hard as you try to do with me. Screwball!!!

I agree with you, the author should kill himself for being so retarded

this is like an article from a 1978 issue of "Cosmo" put into Babelfish, translated into Japanese, translated back into english, and printed out on a dot matrix using the blood of human babies. scott indrisek, you are only slightly funnier than being killed with a machete.

Yeah, too many double standards here. I feel like this dude wrote this one week after he was dumped, while he sits in the basement of his moms Jersey Shore house.

Wow. That’s a big 0 for 10.
10. Black leggings are (usually) pretty hot, actually. And when they’re not, who cares?
9. I’m sure you have a few tics not everyone particularly loves, but I doubt anyone would classify them as cosmos-level irritating.
8. So people who go to Asian-run nail salons are, like, racist or something? That person isn’t “slaving” over a girl’s cuticles. The girl is PAYING her (usually an awful lot) for WORK which is the OPPOSITE of slavery.
7. So you don’t smoke, fine. Hardly a top 10 list-worthy item, especially since smoking isn’t a girl-specific behavior.
6. 2002 called. It wants its observation back. (And yes, the ’90s just called me to ask for this joke format back.)
5. Who thinks knitting is sexy? Girls might find it fun or relaxing or whatever, but sexy? Please show me some evidence that these girls exist.
4. The whale-tail look? Fine, annoying. But when a thong remains hidden until the right moment, that’s usually pretty hot. And what does New Jersey have to do with anything?
3. Again, it’s not 2002. Girls know by now that tramp stamps are dumb. But if a girl wants a little star or unicorn or something on her ankle, why does this irritate you?
2. While I’m sure you absolutely hated it in college when the two cute sophomore chicks made out, this is a behavior to be grown out of, not banned.
1. If you want to be single, go be single. If a girl doesn’t want you messing around, it’s probably because she likes you. In which case, that’s not annoying -- it’s normal human behavior.
Actual Annoying Things Girls Do (as opposed to personal pet peeves, evidence of a desire to control women, or perfectly reasonable behavior) include:
1. Obsessing over VH-1 and Bravo reality shows.
2. Requiring nightly phone conversations during which we talk about nothing but must fill some arbitrary (and overlong) time period.
3. Any and all passive-aggressive behavior, especially when we go to the bar to watch the game with the guys.
4. Telling us all the office gossip in excruciating detail.
5. Making dogs wear clothes.
Another thing I can’t stand – people who chew loudly. Close your mouth already!

BRILLIANT! I agree in every way shape and/or form. I actually twirl my hair ...but it's a nervous habit ...I'm not doing it to impress anyone. It's on the rare occasion I ever notice I'm doing it at all.

Yeah, I think there is unanimous agreement that this article is a big FAIL. The one about girls smoking reminds me of my ex-fiance who said to me once, "God why do you bite your nails? Its so gross and unladylike." You guessed it: he gnawed his nails worse than me. When I pointed that out, he said it's worse for girls to do it. Yeah. Scott, just stop. You suck.

Really Lemondrop? You just had an article about the ridiculousness of women getting blamed for being taken advantage of sexually yet you post this article beforehand claiming that if I want to appear sexually attractive to the male sex there are certain things I can't do? Well I think I will go out and get a tattoo, a pack of cigarettes and knit, even though you'd rather have me stay in and clean the kitchen.
This article is sexism at its best.

Sometimes a few items in these lists make me roll my eyes a bit, but congrats, this entire thing took the cake. Double standards and glorifyed personal opinions. Take a break from writing, please- preferably forever.

this is disgustingly sexist, offensive, and stereotypical. did i mention offensive?
so what, you saw "the wrestler" and now new jersey is the only state with strippers in thongs? hah, i don't even get this.
plus, thongs have a purpose, sweetie. it's guys, such as yourself, that have turned them into an item of eroticism.

Sorry to burst this bubble, but not everything we do is for you.
We can wear leggings if we like them - you can f off if you don't.
Twirling our hair - again, not trying to be cute for YOU - its just a twitch/habit. so what?
Mani/pedi....really? you point that out as a top ten? thats weird.
Smoking - gross for everyone.
Pretending you're Carrie Bradshaw - and you can stop pretending you are a lion.
Believing that knitting is sexy. Knitting may not be sexy, but again, who cares!? not everything we do is to be sexy. Do you spend 100% of your time making sure you are always sexy to the opposite sex? Are you going to give up hobbies because some lame writer says its annoying and "not sexy"? Get off your high horse.
Buying thongs - whats under your pants? Do I care? No
Getting tattoos - another weird one here, Scott. Who cares? You have some seriously off the wall annoyances that really don't matter.
Pretending to be lesbians when you're drunk - I could write a novel on this one.
Pressuring us into monogamy - without it humans would die. Babies are dependent for way to long to ignore monogamous relationships. You give up this weird "lion" thing and we'll give up Sex and the City.
