Why is it men do not like you to ask them questions. Any kind of question. husband and my son are that way?

Could be the way you ask...... "Why are you doing that?"

could be the tone in which you ask......

could be the time in which you ask.... I hate being drilled with questions, first thing as I walk through the door.

Some people don't like questions....... that is no secret.....

some people prefer open ended questions..... others closed.... where a simple yes or no will suffice.

I disagree. It's not that men don't like questions. If you asked your husband "how do you change the washer on the faucet," or "what kind of motor oil does my car take," he'd be very happy to answer it. But if you ask him "how does it make you feel when . . . " he'll most likely not be up for it.

To begin with, men are not generally as verbal as women. They are also not as intuitive. And, to put the icing on the cake, they are taught by society not to be sensitive to their own or others' feelings. So, this is why conceptual questions like "what would you change about yourself if you could" just fall flat with them.

I'm not saying they shouldn't try - it just doesn't come naturally for them. Maybe if you specifically ask your husband to try, he will do it just for you.

I really can't say but my husband hates when I ask him questions. He thinks i'm interrogating him and feels like he's being put in the spotlight. He doesn't tell me stuff so I feel that I have to pull it out of him. i'm not really questioning him... just trying to make convo. I don't know why that is. That's a good question. I hope you find the answer you're looking for.

Your husband is being disrespectful and your son is picking up on his habit of being rude to you. Nip it in the bud. Or go on strike. Let them cook for themselves and feel what its like to not have the support of mom/wife. THen they will start being more respectful towards you, and respond to your questions.

EDIT: and its pretty darn sexist for someone to assume that youre being a nag just because you are asking questions. You're obviously just trying to hold a conversation.

It's in the Man book. Page 128, Never ask questions, it will show your ignorance, so just sit there and smile. So you see, it is not that they may not know the answer, it is the law of the man book.

i notice this of really smart men, like, education wise... my man is like that, knows a whole lot about a whole lot of things... and if i ask him too many questions, he asks me why i dont find a way to figure out the answer myself... like im too lazy to do it... and certainly not smart enough.. this doesnt happen often, but when it does, i get infuriated!

Well, if you asked your child if they're having sex... LOL they're not going to talk to you about it.....

Besides, men are simpler creatures... they usually can answer a questions with just a word or two and aren't all that much into talking... Get yourself a gal pal that you can chat all day long with....

I met a wonderful woman who seems to be just like me... we get along great! :-) My husband has appreciated that I no longer bug him to talk to me since I now have some friends... Of course, we still chat, but he isn't my whole world of friends any more. :-)

good question and we have that same issue. i think its because we dont like to be nagged, we dont know the answer and dont want to admit it, and because we're dealing with our own questions and yours is one in a list.

add: the question is usually "an issue" that needs an entire evening to address and not a simple question that can be answered in a couple words, like "yes", "no", "ok".

maybe you're asking too many questions? or the WAY you're asking them?

I'm a man and am answering all kinds of questions on here!

Because they already know what your answer is & they know if they dis-agree with your answer you will belittle them.

Or

it could just be you talk to much. If they answer your question, you may neva shut your lid again.

(Don't take it personal.. 9 outta 10 women have this problem)
