Why do some women pick fights with their significant others to keep the relationship 'interesting'?

Q: Disclaimer: Ok, I realize that this is a very generalistic question and that not all women are going to engage in this act. This was brought up during a conversation I had and I would like some further insight. I can't stand arguing with my significant other (well, when I had one anyway). I find that the energy could be used towards other things. Now, I'm hearing another theory that some women do so to get attention. WHY on earth would you some women do that to guys? Is that not playing some weird manipulation or head game? I don't think the average woman fully understands how much us guys HATE that crap!! There are so many other ways that you beautiful creatures could get our attention! You have to resort to using one of the most negative methods? HOLY CRAP! C'mon! That's just messed up! Seriously! It makes me want to almost join a freakin' monastery or some thin'! How many times do we have to say "DON"T PLAY MIND GAMES WITH GUYS!"? It's not that we're not equipped (contrary to what some of you trite and bitter females may think) it's just that we find that's WAY too much effort because almost 99% of the time we end up on the couch with the family pet anyway! If those women spent less effort pissing us off, then maybe we'd be able to have the energy to remember those important dates that you want us to remember!! I could go on about this but I'm just so beyond annoyed by this. Thanks for letting me rant. Look, I'm honestly not trying to piss the ladies off, I'm not, I just find such conduct so deceiving and underhanded, it's not wonder our genders have such trouble communicating. Someone, please give me some hopeful insight.J.D. - I actually was married. You brought up some good insight. It took a bit of communication but my ex-wife & I had worked out when each other was ranting & to not take it personally. If I know she's ranting, then I'm ok with that and in fact, I was getting pretty good @ knowing when a "rant was coming on." and was glad to be there to help her feel better.Jamie - That's tough that some women want guys to feel bad as they do because the woman has PMS. It's not the guy's fault! Again, it boils down to communication. If my ex was PMSing, I'd want to know about it. I'm not a freakin' mind reader & I understand it's embarassing but isn't that what a good relationship is about? - talking about the good & the bad. I just find that unfair. So does that go 2 ways? Am I allowed to make a girl feel like crap when I'm in a crummy mood?

A: Well, maybe for the same reason you guys do it to us, and believe me y'all do. Sometimes we just get bored and want to see how much we can piss you off I guess, just to see where the line is. And then other times maybe we're PMSing and want you to feel just as bad as we do, as mean as that sounds.
