When I tell them I need them to be honest and straight forward, I also tell them it hurts me more when i feel they have lied to me. But they still do it when I tell them anything but the truth will hurt. That shows no sympathy or empathy towards me.
I do have habits, but none of my habits screw with other people like women do.
I'm sure you do have habits that women would find annoying but they certainly won't use them against you by assuming you don't respect them because you won't stop them over night. My bf uses poor grammar and I am still with him. It drives me crazy when he uses it and drives me bonkers, excuse me insane, no not insane because I am not literally going crazy, damn what word should I use, okay I think you know what I'm trying to say here
. Does that mean he doesn't respect me because he won't stop? No because it's a habit he has, he has spoken that way his whole life, his parents talk that way and his school never taught him grammar because he was in special ed so his work was different than the other kids in his grade. I keep trying to work with him.
