“The Ultimate Hatelist” posted a list of things they assume we, the ladies of the world, like that they think are ridiculously stupid.
Okay, so maybe we do get a little excited if our horoscope says we have a romantic interest in our near future (the guy from Bio, maybe?) and a little frozen yogurt is totally refreshing on a hot day. Okay fine! Maybe we do love a lot of the things they list, which also include brunch (how fun is a mimosa date with the girls?), reality TV, and making t-shirts (we’re bonding okay?!).
But we don’t really think men should be judging, especially with the laundry list of stupid shit they like.
10. Fantasy Sports
“Hey, man how’d your team do?”You might think the guy is actually involved in some sort of extra curricular sports team, meeting on the weekends to play a little two-hand touch or throw a Frisbee. Totally hot, right? Wrong. Instead they are sitting on their ass in front of a computer screen, picking real athletes who they think may possibly play well that week, and assembling a “fake” team. Yes. That is it. If they happen to choose correctly, other men will then applaud them.

9. Fast Food
A burger here, some pizza there, totally fine. We’re all in college, and we all understand the accessibility and yumminess of fast food. But when you eat whole foot long meatball subs at every sitting and then complain that you are putting on weight and can’t lose it, you’re just being stupid. And the gut isn’t cute either, so maybe add some salads into that diet?
![]()
8. Reality TV
So fine, we are addicted to The Hills and can watch day-long marathons of Say Yes to The Dress, but who do you think keeps Real Chance of Love and Ice truckers on air? It sure as hell isn’t us girls.
![]()
7. Football Sunday…All Day
I love football. It’s totally great that one day a week Americans gather around their TV sets and root for their favorite team. But why this one event has to erase an entire day off the weekly calendar is beyond me. The game starts at 4, so the pre-show starts at 1 and the tailgate starts at 9. And we couldn’t possibly do anything afterward, because then there’s highlight clips and recaps of the game that we just watched. Oh you want another foot long meatball sub? My pleasure, I’ll be right back.
![]()
6. Poker
Don’t get me wrong, I love cards. I don’t even mind a little blackjack or five card every now and then. What is stupid is that men will sit for hours on end, cleaning out their pockets to the point where they are throwing favors and their car keys into the pot just to keep playing. What happened to a friendly game of poker? The fact that men will gamble away their whole wallet and think nothing of it is stupid.
![]()
5. Cars
Us girls can appreciate a nice car when we see one. We’ll even entertain your comments now and then (“yeah, those rims are really nice”). But this crazy obsession guys have with cars is beyond absurd; when a nice one rolls by it’s like they are rendered incapable of speaking, walking, or continuing whatever activity they were previously engaged in. They become drooling, gawking little boys. It’s the 21st century; nice cars are everywhere. Get over it.
![]()
4. Sneakers
They rail on us for always wearing uncomfortable stilettos, but we think it’s stupid that they are always in dirty sneakers. Seriously, can they really be wearing the same shoes out to dinner that they just played baseball in? Perhaps we do tend to overdress, but it’s always better than being under-dressed. Especially in certain situations that demand looking put together (church, family dinners, meeting your parents).
![]()
3. Public Flatulence
We’re not going to go down the whole girls-are-pretty-and-never-fart road. Yes, we burp. Yes, we fart. And yea, we even poop sometimes. But it is stupid that boys relieve themselves in public, think it’s funny, and even congratulate each other for it. What is even remotely entertaining about filling the booth at a restaurant with your raunchy stank? I will never understand why men see this as an expression of their manhood.
![]()
2. Quoting Movies
Yeah, that line was funny…in the movie. But being able to quote (and recognize quotes) from every movie ever made A) doesn’t make you funny and B) doesn’t make you impressive. Guys just love quoting movies and frown upon anyone who doesn’t pick up on the obscure reference they just made to some random line from some random scene in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
![]()
1. Turning Everything Into a Competition
We totally understand being competitive in all things sports, physical and intelligence-related. Hell, even the ladies get a little crazy at a sporting event. But guys will turn anything into an opportunity to win. “Oh yeah? Well I can type faster than you and I know more Will Ferrell movie quotes. LET’S GO!”

“Stupid” as it may be, the sooner you ladies accept that guys LOVE to watch football all day (it’s relaxing, btw – not that difficult to figure out), the sooner you’ll be in easy-going, loving relationships.
Gwenivere says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20095:40 pm
Hmmm… This list of things isn’t bad at all. In fact *Gasp!* I am guilty of a few of these.
Especially the movie quote one. My boyfriend and I do that to eachother all the time. However we BOTH find it hilarious. Which is probably one of the reasons I love him.
I also love football and have no problem taking the whole day Sunday to watch a few games. It’s fun and I really don’t see what is bad about it.
Fast food? Yeah guilty as charged. However I am not a fatass who can’t control myself and niether is my boyfriend. In fact I hate having to go to the gym but he LOVES going and goes for two hours everyday.
And not everyone who plays poker is incapable of controling themselves. In fact that is probably the minority who can’t. I started with my friend who is a girl and we were perfectly capable of not developing a gambling addiction. It was fun to take a day out of the week to play poker with our friends. Yeah we used change but still.
And Cars? Well guilty as charged. I love my Honda and put A LOT of work into it so I appreciate other people who do the same. Also, if I see a right-hand drive Skyline driving down the street am I going to follow it? Yes.
I guess what you find so offensive might not be that bad is someone elses book.
Gwenivere says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20095:43 pm
Oh and my boyfriend would never wear dirty shoes. He gets pissed if I have a slight stain/hole on something of mine, sooo…
samantha says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20095:52 pm
I consider myself a girly girl, but I do like half the things on this list including, but not limited to: quoting obscure lines from movies, watching as much football as possible and drooling over classic cars.
Darwin says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20096:09 pm
I think everyone deep down inside has some liking of fast food. Lettuce at 2AM after 12 drinks is not something anyone enjoys.
I’m guilty of #2. However, that’s because I enjoy referential humor.
And definitely guilty of #1. Nothing is fun if it weren’t a competition.
Casey says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20096:23 pm
Thank god I found the one guy on this planet who HATES football. Although it doesn’t help when the neighbors wake us up at 9am on a Sunday (my bf’s and my ONLY day to sleep in together) and then continue to shriek and scream at the top of their lungs until ten o’clock at night. Seriously?! Do you have to be so damn loud!? ALL DAY!? You’re NOT the only people in this vicinity! And really Andrew? It’s relaxing? Then why do people shriek and scream at the tops of their lungs for 13 hours straight? Not very relaxing for me that’s for sure.
I am guilty of the movie quotes though. Give me a quote, any quote, and I can tell you the movie.
Dia says:
Mon, 28th Sep 20098:56 pm
Poker, fantasy football and quotes. WOW i wouldnt be bothered by those if they werent true, but sadly. guys will play hours on end and use their actual money, AT HOME!! i thought that wat casinos were made for. They like to be cheap on most occasions but not poker. but the rest i can forgive
Dirk Diggler says:
Mon, 28th Sep 200911:44 pm
#2 is ON POINT. I never realized girls hate that though. However, it’s just something we do amongst us dudes- I’ve never seen anyone quote Old-Skool to impress a date or anything like that. In fact, it looks like everything on this list is stuff we mainly keep to ourselves. It’s not like we are forcing you to participate, observe, or acknowledge.
Sara says:
Tue, 29th Sep 20096:57 am
Football Sunday = all day football. How can you watch just one game? I don’t understand girls that have such a problem with it. I usually start watching ESPN at 11 and then watch the 1:00 game, the 4:15 game, and then the night game. Ah, sweet sweet Football Sunday, how I missed thee during the offseason.
Jaclyn says:
Tue, 29th Sep 200911:10 am
I am totally guilty of some of these (5 & 7). I think that girls are often into things that are just as stupid or even more stupid than some of the things on this list. So we should probably lighten up on the hatred of all the activities guys enjoy.
Andrew - Hunter College says:
Tue, 29th Sep 20093:35 pm
Casey – yep, it’s relaxing, despite all the screaming. What I mean by relaxing is that watching tons of football, like playing tons of video games, allows guys (or girls, for that matter) to escape from the daily grind and focus on something other than all the stresses of “real-life.”
Plus, it’s FUN! Why do you want to stop your guy from having some harmless fun?
Casey says:
Tue, 29th Sep 20093:58 pm
No I don’t want to stop my guy from having fun. My guy genuinely doesn’t like watching sports, he finds it just as boring as I do. We do, however, like to PLAY sports.
We relax by going on a nature walk, going to a peaceful park, or doing something else semi-productive. But, to each their own. I don’t mind that other people enjoy watching sports, unless of course it is interrupting my sleep (which it is).
JP says:

Seriously, if i made a list of the stupid none important shit girls obsess about ALL THE TIME it would easily fill 8-10 pages. You don’t even get to argue this point, because its so absurd. I’ve had just about enough of these guy bashing articles on every damn website. Especially when all of it is things we keep to ourselves so we don’t have to hear you bitch about it 24-7.
On that note I leave you with some stereotypical sexism…Maybe if girls were more into cars they could manage to get from A to B without slamming into something or running someone off the road.
Drew says:

Greg says:
Tue, 29th Sep 20095:03 pm
As long as we are generalizing.
Stupid things that are important to girls: expensive weddings, shoes, handbags, changing their hair every two months, God forbid they wear the same blouse as another girl, did I mention shoes?, obsession with the color pink, nail salons, clothes in general, open houses, tired and not funny romantic comedies, etc…
RobG says:
Tue, 29th Sep 20095:17 pm
This list is retarted. No wonder you’re a bitter female internet journalist, sounds like you’ve been hanging out with fucktards. I count three from those list that I do and my girlfriend will happily participate in all of them.
For the girls list:
11. Dating arseholes and complaining about dating arseholes then generalising about all men being like those arseholes because they’re too vain to not get treated like shit and date someone normal.
Seriously, way to help with gender relations. Aren’t we allowed to like whatever the hell we want and not feel bad about it?
dc says:

Alright, I’m a guy, and I only enjoy two of these things (numbers 2 and 3), and I only enjoy number three when I’m with boys… I wouldn’t do that in front of girls. I completely agree with the girls on all of the other points though.
All that considered though, nobody wants to date me. And why is that? Because you girls secretly embrace all of those things. Nice guys finish last and you’re attracted to that “badness” because it’s not the norm. Opposites attract. Of course I’m cursed to die alone though. Oh well. Being the friend is better than nothing.
I have to admit though, Bill and Ted’s was most excellent.

This article is biased in the fact that all men are the same. For me these things are not enjoyable, but boring. Article=FAIL

this whole post is like something only nerds would agree with. now maybe that’s the point. as i don’t actually know this website but you hate poker, cars and competition? What are you gay? or maybe a girl? Oh…nevermind the author is a girl. Honestly, it’s a stupid post. You just hate stuff men like. get over it or go gay. And nobody plays 5 card stud anymore and blackjack takes no skill.

O crap. This is like a lonely chick site full of shit about dating. Honestly, like the first guy said get over the fact that guys like all that stuff. it’s never changing. you gotta pick your battles. That’s one that will never change as long as humans walk this planet. Seriously if men listed all the dumb shit women do we’d run out of numbers. Get over it and stop reading these garbage posts about dating howtos and cheating men. You don’t need some lonely women’s help to get a man. you’re fine how you are. just be good people, nice, funny, eat right excercise, try to stay in shape and don’t be an ass hole. You’ll all be fine.

Oh my god this is so stupid; you’re not doing anything for our cause by reinforcing ignorant gender binaries. By critizing men based on stereotypes you’re just asking to recieve the same treatment right back, as evidenced by all the douchebag comments here saying women love pretty bows and are bad at math or whatever.
Please don’t speak on behalf of all women (who is “we”? I f*cking hate most of the sh*t you said “we” like), and please don’t stereotype all men. This stuff is normative and exclusive, but worst of all it’s unfunny.
Scotty says:

Did you just make this up? Reality tv is a girl thing, 65% of fans are women. Rock of Love is not a dude show and neither is real chance, watch the comercials, they are geared toward YOU(women). Thats the actual demogrpahic. Fast food data also does not show a significant differance in gender bias. As for fantasy football, are you really going to say balancing complex data and statistics based off of hard numbers is “stupid” but somehow tell me that making t-shirts is anything but. T-shirt making with the gals clearly takes the mental high road here. Maybe you should change it to dumb things a couple of my miserable exs have done. farting in public is stupid though… you win there.
Gwenivere says:
Wed, 30th Sep 20092:14 pm
Ok I commented above about how I disagreed with the article because I am a girl and like to do about 80% of that list but… Why are all of these guys commenting on this? Since yes, this is a girls site, I figured we would have more than just three girls opinions about the article.

Yes. Those are the 10 things GUYS like.
Here are the 10 things MEN like. Not in any particular order.
1. Going home to a good wife and good kids
2. Going to work everyday to be responsible and provide
3. Laughing with great wife
4. Going on a date with great wife
5. Touching and being touched by great wife
6. Being loved by great wife
7. Having sex with great wife.
8. Kissing great wife
9. Making great wife smile
10.Spending the rest of our lives with great wife.
That is the kinds of things great men want with a great girl. That’s why I spend so much time writing about this at http://whatsheneedsfromyou.wordpress.com
Keep reading girls. This is the real deal.

Thu, 1st Oct 20098:18 pm
hahah this is funny because it’s true. fantasy sports are truly the most worthless activity ever. but i would have liked to see video games be on the list! yes, a nice round of mario kart is fun. but when dudes hole themselves up in a cave and obsessively play Halo for 23 hours a day, it is very stupid.
Alexandra says:
Thu, 1st Oct 20098:30 pm
All of the men being exceedingly rude on this website…
A) clearly have way too much time on their hands to be reading a website geared towards women.
B) are exceedingly defensive because deep down they KNOW the shit they like is exceedingly stupid. Stupid movie quoting, case in point. Gee, that skill will really be the dealbreaker on giving you that coveted promotion someday!!
Here is a shocking revelation for you all – Get off this website that wasn’t even written with you as an intended audience and stop creating senseless drama. Honestly, and they say women create drama?? Hypocrites. Perhaps you should do something worthwhile to further your future? Evidently that is way too logical for most of you.
And to be frank, I could not care less what you have to say back because I’m right, I know that I’m right, and that’s all there is to it.
Reality Check? I think so. says:

I love this post!! Sorry for all the bashing Briana – totally spot-on. I especially agree with #10 and #1, especially b/c they are completely related. Fantasy sports are so pathetic! Newsflash: YOU did not do anything. Did you complete that pass? Did you pull off a triple-double? Were you anywhere in the vicinity of the game or the practice? NO! The only reason guys play fantasy sports is b/c they are lazy and unable to play themselves. And the only reason they are competitive over stupid shit like typing and quotes is b/c they have no real talent in things that should be competitions, like sports. And don’t try the “I don’t have time to play sports” line. Everyone knows how many useless hours you spend creating stupid competitions, figuring out your fake draft and watching other real players play. Plus, classy guys with talent don’t have to go around telling everyone how awesome they are b/c everyone can tell just by looking. It’s only the losers who have to go around touting their “victories”.

I absolutely hate “The Hills!” It’s retarded. Who cares about a bunch of spoiled rich kids who are bad actors? I’d rather watch Ice Road Truckers or Dirty Jobs any day!
And farts can be funny in the right situation.
And poker is so much fun. You don’t necessarily have to use real money but it definitely makes people play smarter when you do and it’s more fun then.
And c’mon! Sometimes movie and TV quotes are the best way to respond to a situation.
Then again, I’m a tomboy so my opinion might be off.

I have to say this list is ridiculous.
Fantasy sports ok not my thing but it doesn’t mean it’s stupid.
Fast food is amazing.
And what’s wrong with reality T.V. you said it yourself us girls have our shows too, and you know what most girls tv shows fail just as hard as the men’s. I have to say some of the guy’s shows are way better than some of the crap other girls watch. I can’t say much about football.
As far as poker goes, I have no problem joining it, and we just turn it in to strip poker.
Guys are not the only one who love cars. Ever seen Transformers’ 2 with the crazy alien? Yeah, human girls love too. Hell, cars can get me off faster than a guy can.
And F you I love my sneakers and my heals. As for the last three not really my thing.
