You're on the opposite end of the house.  She calls you from the shower(has to yell to be heard).  You come.  She asks you to hand her a towel that's sitting only 10 ft. away from her.

I knew a girl once that wanted to get my attention on something.  She worked with little kids a lot, so she took that tack with me.  She wanted me to give her my hands so she could hold them while she spoke.  She said that with kids that helps to focus their attention.  I got upset because she was being very condescending.  I never got her point.

Absolutely laughed my way through the postings; thank you again for sharing.  How do men and women ever get it put together huh??? 

Bless your heart for walking all the way to the shower!!!!  I'm sure she appreciated it, but maybe not enough unless she read this!

Had the same thing happen to me last week. If you think she's calling you to come to her while she's naked, wet, and dripping just because she wants a towel, you really do have a lot to learn about women.

If you're married, and all you do is toss the wet naked woman a towel, without even an ogle or a lewd remark, well, I feel sorry for your relationship.  :(

My girlfriend's amazing lack of timesense (which she's aware of).


"I have an early day tomorrow and need to crash early" translates as "Maybe I'll let him get to sleep by 2 hrs after he wanted to."


Also, her facinating ability to be indecisive about where she wants to eat, and get irritated if I don't come up with a solution she likes (see also: asks for advice, then gets upset when she doesn't like my advice. It should be noted that this only occurs when she's stressed.)

Oh, there's usually ogling and lewd remarks regardless of who's in the shower...

But sometimes, it is just because she wants a towel.  Nudity doesn't always mean sex.  And that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the relationship.  (Maybe he would have a different perspective, though...?  ;))

If you think nudity means sex, then you haven't been in a relationship very long.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

ME:  "Where do you want to eat?  I don't feel like deciding."

HER:  "Well, I don't know, so you have to pick a place."

ME: "Grumble, grumble..."

And then I'm the bad guy for being grumpy.

Aren't you guys supposed to carry a list of places to eat so you can decide when we're wishy-washy?    :P  Maybe we need to create a Magic 8-ball of restaurants...
  Man/Woman:  Where should we go to dinner?
  8 Ball: Signs point to Ruth's Chris.

I have to admit, most nights I just don't care - but I also don't complain when he makes a choice.  If he doesn't have a preference, I'll pick something (although, he usually has a preference).  And, if I have a couple of ideas, or a specific preference, I will say so!

Same way at work. I usually don't care because most days I bring my lunch.  So when I've decided to go out, anything sounds good.  But, if I do have something in mind, I'll happily make the decision.

Edited because I inadvertently posted an incomplete post.

When nudity stops being sexy, it's a sign of a relationship going stale. I've been in the current one almost 15 years, and so far, so good. ;D

I do. She's gluten intolerant, so there's like 6-7 places we can go. ;)

When I reach the end of the list, and she still says no, we're kinda at an impasse.
