It's really loving annoying when there's some huge crisis that has a really emotional bent to it and the other person is like, "beep boop that will cost us an extra $20 a month  . be realistic. be prudent. you are not being realistic or prudent because you have fee-lings "

new phone who dis posted:I tried explaining to her that keeping your emotions under control with someone you care about is actually a lot more difficult but it was like trying to explain calculus to my dog. Her brain just did not work like that. Not to get all bio-truthy but women typically operate on a much more emotional level and I think that's part of it. They want to know you're emotionally into it as much as they are. That conflicts directly with how a lot of men, myself included, were taught about how to be men. Something I learned from my dad is that there always needs to be someone in the situation who remains in control of themselves emotionally, and that has annoyed more than one of my past girlfriends. Still better than two out of control retards screaming at each other, though. Trying to lampshade  doesn't really help you when you're doing exactly that

Pick posted:It's really loving annoying when there's some huge crisis that has a really emotional bent to it and the other person is like, "beep boop that will cost us an extra $20 a month Yeah I've heard that complaint before. My reaction to crisis is to try to suppress or avoid as much emotional response as possible to try and do the right thing and I've annoyed many an ex with that type of thing. Most of the time they end up agreeing with whatever conclusion I arrived at, they just need to work through the emotional process themselves before getting there. I've stopped giving advice in situations like that unless asked so there are less complaints because I realize it can be annoying. I'm not going to second-guess someone else's crisis management but if you ask me I'm for sure going to tell you what I think. Sometimes people just want to vent and have you nod your head, and I'm fine with that.

I may be emotionally stunted but it's also possible to be too emotional. Nobody should be crying because a commercial gave them the feels. Even that Sara MccLachlan animal one. You know the one I'm talking about. GODDAMIT I AM NOT loving CRYING!

It turns out that how the sexes process emotions is, in large part, a function of how we are conditioned by society as we are raised.

Computer people are incredibly bad at the first and incredibly in love with the second one, though

If men fighting in the Civil War and the 30 Years War and World War I and the rest of the world's most godforaken horrific conflicts could write heartfelt, emotional passages and today's man can only manage a "u wan some fuk?" before he melts down into a rage then maybe we should examine how modern marketing and advertising forces mold people into consumers who are no longer competent to solicit and receive comfort and wellbeing from other human beings.

My [25 f] roommate / best friend [24 f]. Her hygiene habits are becoming an issue. Not sure how to discuss.quote:Hey folks -- I don't usually post here (or anywhere, really), but I'm kind-of at a loss. "Cindy" and I have been friends since we met back in 2010, and while things haven't always been sunshine and rainbows, we're pretty close. Literally, her room is right next door to mine & my spouse's. We've lived together off-and-on for about a year now, in a big house with a bunch of other people. But due to some issues with another roommate, the household is disbanding, and the three of us (Cindy, me, and my spouse) have decided to move into a small apartment together to bounce back from the awful financial decision this house wound up being.

In this world there are both people who are smart and have the ability to express themselves despite their experiences and handicaps, and there are those who are not. WHOA. If the men who went through WW1 could see war as an entertaining crucible of manhood, the flames upon which we are forged as individuals, why can't these modern-day PTSD bitch nigga Afghanistan vets not see it the same way lmao what happened to men

really good conversation everyone's having, sure beats the hell out of actual content!! I [28F] asked my boyfriend [29M] of 4 years when he's going to propose, he said he's waiting for me to propose to him quote:My boyfriend and I had the marriage talk about a year ago where we both agreed marriage was the next step for us and we would be engaged soon. Looking back, I don't remember him actually saying anything about the proposal itself. A few days ago I asked him when he would propose to me and he simply responded he's waiting for me to propose to him. He said he wants to be engaged and married, but won't propose since it makes him uncomfortable and was somewhat vague about it.

Usually when you observe a culture from years in the future you only get the distilled good or bad parts of it rather than the experience you would get being completely immersed in it. There's a reason those letters survived instead of all the crudely sexual suggestive missives and dirty pictures that undoubtedly swamped the same military postal system at the time. Roman graffiti is remarkably similar to the modern day "u wan some fuk?" mongoloids.

That's a little later on. I just think the idea that the fundamental character of man or woman has changed is incredibly silly, when it comes down to the inherent differences between individuals.
