The Decisiveness of the Female

Let me start by telling you all that I have nothing (pretty much) against most girls. Don't get me wrong, some girls can get really annoying, but that's not only because they're girls (guys can be just as annoying). This is also not to say that I myself can't be annoying at times. I'm sure people think I am quite often. However, the decisiveness of the female is an indisputable certainty that occurs in 99 out of 100 cases.

Guys: let me start you off with a scenario so that you know what I'm talking about.

You and your girlfriend (or just friend who happens to be a girl) want to hang out one day. The ritualistic "what do you wanna do? I donno, what do you wanna do" ritual ensues. So the male in the situation does the smartest thing they can think of: they start listing off ideas.

Alright, let's take a second to analyze the situation thus far. The male and female are confused about what they want to do. Naturally, the guy does the logical thing and lists possible activities for them. Perhaps this is the fatal mistake of the man. Lets continue:

"Do you wanna (insert list of stuff to do here) or (more choices here)?" The common female answer is something along the lines of "oh I don't care what we do, I just wanna hang out - I'm up for whatever."

Guys - I'm here to tell you - this is where you have to be VERY careful. The trick here is this: remember that last sentence she said about not caring what you do? Disregard this sentence entirely. Again, 99 out of 100 girls DO care what you do. They totally have an opinion of what you'll end up doing. Then why don't they just tell us? I know that we (meaning us guys) don't care what we do - if we didn't want to do it, we wouldn't add it to our list of choices in the first place. My best answer to this question is strangely ironic: they don't tell us what they really want because they don't want to be "difficult". And so the vicious cycle begins:

(While doing activity X that the guy chose due to the girl's indecisiveness) The girl says "I don't really want to be here." And the male responds with a "I thought you wanted to?"

Well, this is the point where the male starts to feel a little dissappointed about the whole thing. On occasion, us boys are only out to do whatever you girls want to do. If you dont TELL us (BEFORE hand), then we have no way of knowing for goodness' sake! It's ridiculous and guys don't like it. The generally male population will agree they've been in this situation, and girls will agree, that, whether they like to admit it or not, they totally do pull the "indecisive trick" on us. Did I mention how frustrating it gets? =]
