LOL, it is obvious that you've never had a fair female companion. If you had, you'd know that the more beautiful they are, the more it is an art form to them to want to be even more stunning.

She's what I'd classify as high maintenance. But like with everything else that's high maintenance, they're usually worth it.

My gf has been getting ready for dinner for almost two hours now. WTF? WHY?

Newton only had three laws of motion. So there is no need to go to 127. Then again, it seems that you might have accidentally started with zero and subtracted one, hoping for newton's -1 law. That's what you get for using unsigned integers in your brain.
 
Ok, THIS IS WHY: because (for most females at least) she wants to look perfect when you both go out together.
My husband whines the same thing when i take a long time getting ready for dinner or anything.
I do it because i want to look the best i can for him. I am sure she is the same way.

That's all very well and good, but if you KNOW it takes a long time to get ready, why don't you start a bit earlier so that you don't make him look bad by being ridiculously late?
 
Thats how it is. Its really about you though and how you act/behave with your woman. Me for example, I don't put up with that sh1t. I understand being late sometimes is alright and it happens, but constant waiting and waiting is just ridiculous.

You know what it is, it only happens with the younger women. They are young and think they are somehow important, so they will take their time and make you wait for them because each and everyone of them wants to be somehow treated like a princess. That is until they hit 30 and realize they need to reproduce and that their clock is ticking, then they will be the ones waiting for you to arrive.

I just got into an arguement last time with my girlfriends brother. He told me that he hears me talking to my girlfriend on the phone sometimes and thinks I am rude when I tell her to hurry the fvck up when I am outside waiting for her. My girlfriends brother on the other hand is a pussy whipped peon who seriously, and this is no joke, waits anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour for his girlfriend outside of her house almost every time they see each other. He even admitted to me that he does it and said, thats just how girls are. I told him, no buddy, thats just how you are, and you allow your gf to slap you around like a rag.

As many of you know I travel a great distance to pick up my gf and burn alot of gas. When I call her 30 minutes in advance that I am coming, then 15 minutes before I get there, then once more 5 minutes for her to come outside, I expect her to be out there, especially since I have called much earlier, and she knows I am coming this day and at this particular time. She is late 90 % of the time, even though I take these measures to ensure there is no excuse. I yell at her, swear at her, because I am pissed that not only I have to drive to pick her ass up, she can't even give me the luxury of being there when I actually come, since she is a lazy bum and doesnt want to take the bus or drive.

Now lets look at my mom, who is pretty well trained by my dad. She waits always like 5 minutes ahead of anywhere that he is going, and always rushes me to be on time also for him. Thats what I like, I want to have a gf that does the same, but training will be long and tedious.

It is not even that the OP's GF is high maitnence nor am i... that much, its just that we tend to loose track of time when we are getting ready, making sure we have the best shirt on, making sure our shoes look good, our makeup is done right, our hair looks nice...
HOWEVER... i will say there is a problem if the girl is making you late. It takes me a while to get ready, but i am not going to make us late.

OP, what about telling the girl you are going out at 5pm when really you are planning on 6 just to give her an extra hour to get ready... try that.
 
The extra time thing does not work. I do that with my gf, somehow they always detect that I am doing extra time strategy. They are always late, even if I say we GOTTA GOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOO

2 hours is excessive.
 
2 hours is crazy. I would punch her in the head. But seriously, I would just ditch her after 30 minutes. 45 max.

Prove it. Pics or shens.

I also don't understand why it would be obvious that I never had a female companion from my post. I think you're feelings were hurt and you lashed out. Here, I'll help you feel a little better by acting stupid....

Well, your comment was rather unknowing... just because someone takes a long time to get ready does not make them ugly.... Not to take sides, but most guys know that most girls DO take a while to get ready... not saying all do, some wear more makeup, some do their hair, some do not. But just saying because she took a long time = she is ugly is not correct.

This is wrong on so many levels. And worse, I laughed! 😀

I don't really mind as long as I get to watch TV or take a quick nap on the couch. However, if we had to be at some place by X time otherwise we won't get in, I will be pissed off and will probably just call it a night. I tend to give 2-3 hours ahead of time. So when I call at 5PM to say that I am picking them up at 8PM, they better start getting ready at 6PM if it takes them 2 hours. Lack of consideration coupled with fussiness is no excuse for being late. This goes both ways.

When it's a "special" night out where the whole thing took considerable planning on my part and I arrive on time looking my best, she is expected to be on time (it takes time for guys to get ready too!).

You won't be having that problem much longer unless she is the type of girl who is attracted to abusive men.

As he should be with his attitude and mindset.
 
I just factor that time in and when my wife asks "What time are we leaving to go..." I tell her 30 minutes earlier than I actually want to leave.
 
You guys are nuts, Im not abusive, I just want my GF to be ready when I come, is that much to ask? And when my gf swears and yells at me, it's not abusive? Please gtfo.
