We asked men who absolutely love their women what they hate about their significant others. Why, you wonder, would you want to read about someone else's crib fest? We'll tell you. You might be doing more than half the things on this list and driving your too-polite-to-say-anything man totally insane. And anyway it's quite funny to hear some of these. So if nothing else, have a laugh and sympathise with these fellas.

"My girl thinks I am not sensitive enough - meaning I don't get her moods, I don't 'respect' art, I am not in tune with her feelings... I wish she would know the difference between being sensitive and outright gay!"

Feroze, Student, Mumbai

"When I'm out with her friends, she introduces me to them either as her 'friend' or as her 'brother's classmate', but never as her boyfriend. That, I think, really ticks me off. I mean what is it? Is she ashamed? Shy? What's the deal?"

Abhinav, Student, Chennai

"When it's time to drop my girlfriend home after dinner or a party and when we are 10 seconds from her home, she invariably says, 'I feel like going for a long drive...' I mean, couldn't she say that when we were having coffee? Did she really have to wait till her doorstep to tell me? And this isn't just once or twice. It's every single time! I can't stand that about her."

Hari, Marketing Professional, Chennai

"I hate the fact that my wife hates cricket. I hate the fact that I very rarely get to watch an entire match without her needling me and cursing the game."

Ashwin Rajagopalan, heads a Marketing Solutions company, Chennai

"I know women gossip but they never know how far they go in sharing intimate deatils till I once overheard my sweetheart. I have never been comfortable chatting about my personal life to anyone, but when I heard her...! Phew, I felt so embarrassed, I started to squirm at the very thought!"

Avinash, Ship Captain, Chennai

"What's the one thing that really gets a man's goat? Nagging. My wife nags me to death. She's constantly saying things like 'Come home early' or 'No late nights'. I wish she could change this habit and let me be once in a while. Even once in a blue moon with my pals is fine with me."

Aldrin Soares, Fitness instructor, Goa

"She can be really possessive and believes that I hit on anything with a skirt, which is not true. I think she needs to lighten up a little."

Elias Patel, Radio Jockey, Goa

"What really pisses me off is when my wife wants to have her way, which is most of the time, even if her wanting to have her way is not practical at all! She'll sweat and toil when she can adopt a practical approach for an easy way out. For eg: Despite a maid in the house, she wants to do all the work. See what I mean?"

Lester Rodrigues, Musician, Goa

"It drives me insane when she asks stupid questions throughout my soccer game - 'Which team is wearing blue?' or 'Why was this a foul?' or the worst, 'That colour doesn't suit him at all! He should be wearing a lighter shade'. I mean, I appreciate her interest in the game and I'd love to teach her all the rules. It's just that when the final match has gone into extra minutes and I'm biting my nails, I cannot for the life of me stand her asking, 'What's the difference between soccer and football?'"

Aditya, Professional, Mumbai

"It irritates me no end when my wife takes an hour-and-a-half to get dressed for a party that we're only attending for half an hour. The real test, of course, is when sometimes, she decides at the very last minute that her outfit's all wrong, which means she needs to change not only her clothes, but subsequently her bag, shoes, jewellery and make-up as well, because the shade of her eye-shadow and sandals are mismatched!"

Ravi, IT professional, Mumbai

"I hate it when my girlfriend (when she thinks I'm not looking) casually picks up my mobile and appears to be playing a game on it. But actually she's going through all my messages and numbers. How sneaky is that?"

Anil, 26, PR executive, Mumbai

"I've been seeing my girlfriend for three months now and till date she hasn't eaten a single meal with me. She insists that I don't take her out anywhere. So I try to change that and ask her out. At dinner, she just sips her water and says she's already eaten. Which makes me feel stupid eating all by myself with her watching me."

Rohit, Student, Mumbai

"What is with the constant mothering, women? My girl starts hyperventilating if I even ride my friend's bike! Not to mention the constant reminders on eating my lunch on time, remembering to take my medicine (when I'm ill)! I do not need another mother, I need a girlfriend!"

A frustrtated boyfriend, Mumbai

"I can't stand her coming late all the time. I understand if you're genuinely detained somewhere once in a while but a regular show of tardiness is annoying as hell! Come on, show some respect for my time."

Vishal, Student, Mumbai

"My girl wants to meet ALL the time. And the time we're apart, she wants us to talk on the phone... the concept of 'space' is totally lost on her!"

Karan, student, Delhi
