What exactly makes a man a pig?

[Angelus]

I was just wondering this as I recently got called a pig by someone that I had known for a while and I would like to know what makes a man a pig?

I mean we don't live in a sty- we don't shit (sorry) everywhere and live in it so what exactly makes us pigs?

 

[KillerMuffin]

A four inch penis, the inability to demonstrate manners, insensitivity, four humps and an attempt to insert into the anus without proper foreplay or asking first, or a clash with the feminine ideal of what you should be. Any or all of the above.

wish i knew how to explain it... it varies from guy to guy

 

[DarkAngel]

Or me for an example

 

[Angelus]

yeah.... but as far as I know of I haven't done anything wrong. It's as if suddenly I am in the doghouse and there is no way that I am going to get out of it.

 

[DarkAngel]

I like the dog house it is the best place to be... since I got the new home entretanment centre for it

 

[Cheyenne]

Tell a lie, that's how you become a pig.

 

[carini]

it;s not always lying.. sometimes its just forgetting something the woman in question felt was important

...as far as I know of I haven't done anything wrong.

I don't claim to be either an expert on male/female relations or on your relationship in particular. But I can impart whatever modicum of wisdom I have acquired in my travels, to wit:

You needn't have done something. In fact, more often than not, I have found the error to be not having done something.

My personal experience is that being insensitive to a need, particularly when you cannot for the life of you figure out why it qualifies as a need to her, when to you it's entirely insignificant, is grounds for either sty or dog house residence.

I have had variations of the following exchange with multiple women, I place not any blame in the conversation, I only share it hoping it will either enlighten, or bring me enlightment via sharing:


her: "What are we going to do tonight?"

me: "Whatever makes you happy."

her: "See? That's what I mean"(angry)

me: "Huh? I meant to say we could do whatever you wanted."

her: "What I want is for you to know what I want, without me having to tell you."


I used to think this was uninterpretable. Now, I find it just to be slightly unrealistic in it's level of expectation.

To my understanding, the key is to be able to determine when "What are we going to do tonight?" means, "I want you to interpret my tone and body language, and ascertain what I would like to do without me having to ask", and when it means, "I have something specific I want to do, please ask me about it".

Occasionally, they throw you a change up and it means, "I want to do what YOU want, as long as it isn't something you really want to do, that I have no interest in" or "I want to do something, but I'm feeling indecisive, please propose something I will want to do, but I don't want to come up with the idea again."

I only run about a 64% accuracy rating in my interpretations so far, but hey, that's a big upgrade from having no clue what the hell they were talking about.<grin>

I don't mean to say all this is the exclusive reason for doghouse-living.

But I think it is indicitive of the type of communications problems I have had with the superior gender in my day.

I can only hope my interpretive skills improve as I go forward.

Good luck to you. May the knowledge come to you faster than it has to me.

How is it I never have these problems?

 

[Angel]

Because you're smart and you don't mess with stupid males?

Don't freak, charra. Being a girl, I can sorta give you some help.

Sometimes guys don't necessarily have to do something wrong, or do "nothing" at all. If I'm having a bad day, and a guy steps on my toes, I chomp at him. I don't mean to, but that doesn't mean I don't.

But there are somethings that DO really bother me, even if I'm in a good mood. Want a little tip? Girls hate when their emotions are downplayed. Don't ever (unless you want to lose a finger) laugh at our anger, tell us to calm down, or ask us why we're crying in that "oh-god-what-now" tone. That's pretty much it. Again, it varies with each girl, but that's kind of your basic line.

If you really want to figure out what happened, approach the girl that called you that. Just as an ice-breaker, apologize for upsetting her, or something as casual as that. Then, just explain that you aren't completely sure what you did, and maybe she'll tell you. But you just have to remember, approach very cautiously and try to be as soft spoken as possible.

*grins* Well, that was a mouthful. *eg* I didn't mean to prattle on, but.. I just didn't want you thinking you had done something wrong when chances are you didn't. Let me know how it turns out, 'kay?

Slainte!

Call me retro, but I hate making decisions. It's that Libra moon; sometimes I just want someone to tell me, "We are going to THIS restaurant or THAT movie."

Instead we have a strange dialogue:

He: So, where do you want to eat?

Me: Oh, I don't know. I haven't given it much thought.

He: Well, it's your choice. Did I tell you my blood pressure is high again, as well as my sugar?

Me: (mentally reviewing every restaurant we've been to), How about Moonshadows?

He: I don't feel like driving to the beach, nor fish, really.

Me: Okay. How about Buona Corso?

He: I hate Italian.

Me: Well, I like fish, and it won't hurt you. How about Clancy's then?

He: I told you. I don't feel like fish.

Me: China Inn, then.

He: No, I had Chinese for lunch.

Me: Why don't you pick?

He: Oh, no. It's YOUR choice.

That, children, is an example of piggishness. It does vary according to circumstances, and from man to man, but I think the above is a fair example.

 

[~melia~]

Just curious...

Do you recall the last thing you said before she called you a pig? What were you discussing?

[Matthew D]

Oh don't want you to feel that way...How about if I...tuck you in?

 

[BrainyBeauty]

for all those things AND for not being a mind reader!

Interesting topic and analogies.

First, why is a pig going to the doghouse? Interbreeding can be dangerous!
Cheyenne- I thought lying made men snakes not pigs.

Funny how we have so many words and associations relating bad behavior of men to animal behavior. Dogs, pigs, snakes.

Let's see. How 'bout women?
I guess we can be called dogs too but that is more related to our looks than our behavior; pigs- again looks instead of personality. Snakes? No, doesn't apply to females.

We have been called catty- for bitchiness or being slutty. Birdlike- for eating habits. Tigers- in bed. Horsey- looks. (although men can be hung like horses which is actually a good thing! lol)

To answer your question, name calling-while childish and immature- gives us the opportunity to point out that when a man behaves boorishly- rude, insensitive, hurtful- it is unacceptable. It is also a last resort. She was probably frustrated/angry/hurt and unable to put into proper words why she felt like this. So she turned to the easy way out. Has she apologized?

But we haven't really heard the whole story here. What did you do to her YOU WORM!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehe just kidding

Wearing a kilt with nothing underneath on a windy day. The reason is obvious.

What makes a man a pig?

Same thing that makes a woman a bitch...lack of manners and selfishness.

 

[Celestiale]

claiming to love one woman and then leaving her for another...

I would agree that a few men are pigs all of the time and the rest of men are pigs once in a while but everything. I hope you really don't feel that way.
