Why are women always so busy?

[Brent]

It is like they are too busy to do anything. Call to ask to do something and the answer is "i'm too busy", call to ask why haven't been over to visit in a while "i've just been very busy" every answer centers around them being "very busy", all wrapped up in themselves with no time for anyone else. Why so busy? Make the time for loved ones around you, that's all I'm askin

I think you're making a gross generalization.

But, biologically and psychologically speaking, women are better multi-taskers than men. Whoever it is is probably REALLY busy.

Oh yay! Another 'let's over-generalize' women thread! Yippee!

Women work. Women usually have to work harder to get up the ladder. So therefore, women are busy.

Or maybe she's "just not into you" (read the book, not the movie)

Call up a friend today, let's go on a little trip out of town one weekend this month, you pick it, whatever weekend works out best for ya.

"I've got plans every weekend this month, I'm really busy this weekend, and next weekend"

me - So how about the 21st weekend, would that work?

"I'm busy every weekend this month"

me - Ooook, your call, you sound like you got a lot goin on

"Yeah, I'm a busy bee "

errrrrrrrr

And it's been a few weeks since she's invited me over, just, for anything, me asking why, the reason was "I've just been really busy lately"

errrrrrr

Don't call her unless she calls you.

As Jeff Foxworthy would say, "She needs some space...without you in it."

Sometimes that's what happens, man.
Rejection sucks. You have to move forward.

You don't have to listen to me at all here, but if all she does is put you off then it sounds like she's not interested as others have said. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but at least you won't waste your time on her any longer.

If she calls you and explains what's making her so busy then that's great. Otherwise, there are plenty of fish in the sea. You've made enough effort here.

Hmm.

^ It's true though. Women are still fighting the glass ceiling. Obama recently worked to make women have equal pay for equal work. They had to work that much harder before just to get near what men were making for less work.

Across women as a class it may well be true. As a statement regarding the experiences of individual women, doesn't hold up so well. It's a generalisation. That doesn't make it invalid, but as a follow-up to "generalisations are bad" it leaves something to be desired.

what a freaking silly statement..
guess what the reason we are so busy is because all to often women are the ones who are looking after their loved ones.

Within our complex system of long-term care, women’s caregiving is essential in providing a backbone of support. In fact, the value of the informal care that women provide ranges from $148 billion to $188 billion annually.4 Women provide the majority of informal care to spouses, parents, parents-in-law, friends and neighbors, and they play many roles while caregiving—hands-on health provider, care manager, friend, companion, surrogate decision-maker and advocate.5

Caregiving is largely a women's issue. Nearly three out of four (72 percent) caregivers are female

eldercare.com

all to often all the work of looking after loved ones fall to the women.
i personally know of cases were the brothers refused to get involved in the care of their elderly parents until the sister or sisters were to the point of becoming ill due to exhaustion.
and yes the brothers were asked to help but the sister was told.. well we are just to busy with our lives.

yes, there are some exceptions were men willing shoulder the burden but they are still the smallest percentage.

heck i know of one man who constantly complained that his wife was too tired to have time for him.
because, guess what she was busy tending to his elderly parents.

women despite having careers still make up the majority of volunteers in a lot of organizations.

but yeah women are nothing but selfish bitches..

really i am curious if the op cared enough about this girl to even find out..

does she have parents..? what is their medical situation?
what is her family situation?
is she involved in volunteer work?

what is her work situation.?. a lot of people work for firms whose work force has been cut to the bone. so much so people who never before had to take work home now have too.

and oh yeah..
women who work in comparable jobs, with comparable experience levels, comparable or greater eduaction level still make between 8 to 17 percent less then men depending on the field.

^I think we've fairly well established that some women are busy a lot, some women aren't and this particular one is just making excuses.

No, Trippy was saying over-generalizations were bad. As in "why are women so busy", which instantly encompasses all women everywhere, that they're all somehow "busy".

do you know her personally...

heck part of my point is that did he care enough about her to even know why she might be busy.
if in the past she has told him about her parents or about stuff she is involved in it just went in one ear and out the other...

yeah i would be too busy too..

 

[Hermiod]

do you know her personally...

Wasn't me who said it to begin with. You can ask Trippy or T'Bonz about that.

Which is clearly ridiculous, nobody able to operate a keyboard could possibly accept that as a literal statement. Reacting to it as a literal statement is just as silly. It's hyperbole, and other posters in this thread have already, I suspect, correctly identified the reasons for it.

In light of the responses regarding the unique stressors upon women in the workplace, it's rather ironic that the woman in question here likely isn't actually busy at all. Next thread: "Why are women such lying bitches?"

uh yeah tbonz said that but what trippy said was more complicated..

Or maybe she's "just not into you" (read the book, not the movie)

that she may really be busy or just not interested.
the point is we dont have enough to go on to really know.

my point still is she might have been legit busy to start with.
but if she got that whining line about

very busy", all wrapped up in themselves with no time for anyone else

then yeah i could see why it could have gone to i am busy just go away.

but brent just put that out there without really given us any insight into this woman at all.

all we are getting is she is so selfish because she want pay attention to ME , without knowing any about her side.
