Things Men Do That Piss Me Off.

AKA:

Things that Men in Movies/Television/Books do that Pisses Me off
First example is from this drama that Pomme and I are watching right now. It is called "A Prince's First Love" and whilst I know (in my head, though my heart wants something else to happen) that because of this title (and K-drama standard plot twists) that the girl is going to end up with him, I really don't want her to. Granted there is always a chance that I (and Pomme) could be wrong, I'm pretty sure I (we) are correct in this assumption.

Gun-Hee (the main male lead aside from Mr. Cha) is currently being a total prick. My reasoning for this is because he seems to believe that just because his family is rich and he is handsome that he can have any girl he wants. Including the heroine of this drama, Yu-Bin. Not only that but he also seems to believe that if he treats her like crap she will fall into, not only his arms, but his bed as well.

And when she really needs him, what does he do? He plays the arrogant asshole who refuses to her face and then goes behind her back to fix it. Which doesn't work, btw.

"I think all women are easy."
Edward Cullen (yep, I went there). Where to even begin. Seriously, everything this man does is wrong. He plays with Bella's emotions, breaks into her room and watches her sleep (which is a criminal offense ladies and gentlemen, not romantic), breaks her car so she can't go somewhere, treats her like a yo-yo and threatens to EAT her. And we're NOT talking cunnilingus. In fact, he avoids sex all together. At least, until he marries her and then he practically rapes her. Because that's romantic right?

My biggest qualm with Edward is the abusive way he plays with Bella's emotions. He tells her he loves her and then he leaves her. He threatens to eat her (once again, not a happy eating), but then avoids her all together. He is constantly saying one thing and doing another. Or abandoning her all together.

"I know you think that I have some kind of perfect, unyielding self-control, but thats not actually the case."
In various movies/books/tv shows, there are a lot of men who are obviously abusive, however they always get the girl. Reasons behind this are because nobody apparently realizes that it is abusive. A prime example of this is the scene from "The Notebook" where Noah asks Allie out. By threatening to kill himself by letting go at the top of a ferris wheel.

That, ladies, is a form of abusive. Not romantic. It forces you to make a decision out of distress. Not because you care, necessarily, but because you are being pressured with the threat of bodily harm. Not even harm toward you. Mental abuse is the most prevalent form of abuse, partially because what constitutes mental abuse can be masked. In this example it is masked by being passionate and romantic. It is NOT passionate, nor is it romantic to threaten to kill yourself so that you get your way. Grow the fuck up.

"Would you stay with me?"

Anywho, that is my little rant for right now. I'm sure I'll expound upon this particular topic further in the future. But for now I'm going to go to bed. Ponder what I've said my pretties.
