Why do most
men hate Soap Operas?
After reading through magazines, watching movies and
watching the latest edition of soap operas your imagination runs wild. You start
to think that I want a life like that or I hope that never happens to me. The
reality is that our life is nothing like a movie or a soap opera. There maybe
some things in the soap that happen to you but in general whatever appears on TV
is not reality.
Ok so men like factual things and hate anything emotional. The emotional nature
and lack of facts in a soap are probably the biggest reasons for men disliking
Soaps, but they are not the only reasons.
The majority of men absolutely hate soap operas because they know that women are
going to compare their lives with what is happening on the latest soap opera.
Women for some reason want to relive most of the moments on the soap opera. Fair
enough they have conversations with their friends about what's happened on the
latest edition of Coronation Street. But don't make the big mistake and think
your life should be like a soap opera or a movie.
Life in reality is full of good times and bad times. Life would be boring if it
was easy. But don't make life any harder than it already is by being a drama
queen. Sometimes men find these drama moments entertaining but go over the top
and he will find them annoying. Too much drama or inflating an issue too far and
sorry he will be thinking (manipulative, devious witch) maybe I am going out
with the wrong woman.
Equally so women who reckon that they should experience all the good times that
their latest soap character has experienced are also very naive. While there is
nothing wrong with reminding him to be romantic every now and then, don't
bombard him with the your latest fad as seen on Coronation Street every week.
That's tacky, annoying and makes him feel as though he is worthless to
constantly compare him with a movie star or soap star. Comparing him every once
in a while is fine but don't constantly put him down, because you wouldn't like
it if he did the same to you.
The reality of real life is the challenge of bringing up children, balancing
your finances, buying a house, shopping for groceries etc. Balanced with some
very exciting times such as wedding days, honeymoons, romantic dates, when your
child first walks or talks, when your child gets married and continues the next
generation of your family.
When he is not working on the latest movie, even Brad Pitt has to think about
the more mundane things in life. So don't try to make your life like a fantasy
story on TV.
