Random Question

Why is it that women (and some men, for that matter, but not that there’s anything wrong with that) will tell you it is fine to do something and then if you do it, they get mad?  I won’t go into specifics for obvious reasons (she would get even madder), but it seems to me that it is pretty simple logic to tell someone what you want so you don’t get something you don’t want. 

For example (and this is completely hypothetical), “Honey, do you mind if I go out with the guys tonight?”  “Sure,” she replies.  So you go out, have a good time and when you get back home, you get the cold shoulder.  She may not even say something, but you can tell that something is wrong.  Then if you ask what’s wrong, you may get a “You know what’s wrong” with an evil eye, or you may even get a direct answer then such as “Why did you go out with the guys when you know I didn’t want you to.”

It seems to me in the above situation, it would have turned out much better if she had replied, “no I would rather you stay home and be with me.”  This would be especially nice if she does it with a suggestive look…

So, I want to hear from you.  What are everyone’s opinion on the matter?
