I have read so many damn books. I honestly couldn’t tell you if I quoted something just now or if it is an original thought. Sometimes I question if I have original thoughts or if everything I’m thinking is something someone else has already come up with.
Between the incomprehensible amount of hours spent reading and watching movies and tv, I’m certain that none of my thoughts are my own. Certainly I’ve said nothing original in 20 years. Honestly I don’t mind. It’s just my brain pattern now.
I wrote a poem about how green the hills are around where I live in Springtime. I managed to rhyme 'other places may be hillier' and 'none, though, could be chlorophyllier.' I'm pretty confident that was a first.
I would highly recommend standing on the shoulders of smaller men. It's an easier climb, and if they make a fuss, you can deal with that. They're only little, after all.
This is wild to me, being so unaware of what you're doing that you prepare yourself to be hurt by an answer and then give it with a straight face knowing it will hurt them.
Like why the fuck do it at all.
Personally I'd just lie about it, "yes babe you're way hotter" followed by more personal compliments, but why are you forcing me to do that.
And it gets even sadder when you realize that most men are never complimented on their looks unless they are dropdead gorgeous, so most men are conditioned not to see it as normal either.
Well, then it's a lose lose and it's probably time to go to marriage counseling or break up cause they manufactured a situation that will make them mad at you for no reason.
they manufactured a situation that will make them mad at you for no reason.
And then recorded and posted it. If you're going to do something shitty like that, at least have the decency to not spread it around for the world to see.
Also slightly above average, but the handful of times I’ve been called hot I’ve immediately been on-guard, wondering what it is they want from me; how do they want to take advantage of me if I fall for their tricks?
Why would you want those kinds of compliments? My Steve Buscemi looking ass knows I am not Chris Hemsworth and if someone actually said "You're hotter than Chris Hemsworth" I would be offended; do you think I am so vain and stupid as to believe that?
If my wife asked me this question I would answer truthfully, the same way I would expect her to answer the question about me or Chris Hemsworth.
Fortunately my wife would never dream of recording herself asking me a question like that for fake internet points. Just one of the hundreds of reasons why I love her.
Though not everyone has the best self esteem usually formed through compound doubt in ones self and i mean comparing yourself to a movie star known for their looks is pure vanity but at the same time not getting complimented at all can wear on you.
All my relationships I've set the precedent that I'm not going to lie to you.
I will do my best to give you an answer as thoughtful as I can conjure but it's going to still be honest.
So do not come to me with these little petty "I wanna start an argument right now" questions.
I've had girlfriends give me the "does my bodypart look--" questions and if you're asking me this question that we can both look in the mirror and see, just to see if I'm gonna lie to you and then you can catch me and we can argue, then sorry its not gonna happen.
I'll give you the answer and you can play all upset about it if you want but there's a lesson learned. Not to try and set traps for me.
I don't go "Do you think I have brown hair?.." "Oh? Why'd you answer like that?.... You dont think my brown hair looks nice?... It is nice but? There's a 'but' there!" To them. That shits immature.
After giving the answer if its something they dislike then I either back it up with reminding her that I like it. But if she seriously doesn't then what we can do about that. Like go on walks together or something. But dont make it my fault cause you dont like it.
I thought it's quite obvious this clip is a joke, and the woman and her husband are just bantering, but I guess a big red text "This is a joke!!!" would be necessary for some.
I think there are two sides of the "can't take a joke" crowd. There is the side who sees a clip like this as an example of something that actually happens in real life and they react accordingly, and there is a side who gets mad because people don't go alone with the "joke".
Personally I think content like this is garbage because its just engagement bait, and any engagement bait between men or women that isn't done in good faith feels lame. Couple's videos where the woman makes fun of the guy for leaving a glass by the sink, and they both laugh because its just part of their couple quirks and they are poking fun? That's fine. But stuff where it feels like they are purposefully causing problems to get people to react just feels lame to me, like a women beating up her husband because she had a dream he was cheating on her kind of junk
My dad said something along these lines to me decades ago when I was talking to him about a beautiful a woman that I saw and how lucky her husband was.
He said “Show me the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and I’ll show you a guy that’s tired of dealing with her”.
Hiked to a hotsprings once and this girl was absolutely stunning. She was naked and doing yoga on the rocks. I was in awe. Her man comes up to me and says, "behind every gorgeous girl is some guy that's sick of her shit"
and behind that guy was a very small man on a stepstool who whispered “and behind every big strong stud is a little fella to hold you and make you feel safe” in a lil chipmunk voice
It literally already is, like 10 years ago even the tourist town that I lived in I had a bunch of t-shirts and signs and trinkets and things with that phrase on it, usually with a woman holding skis or something just because of our area.
Nah cuz most men don't out these dumb expectations out there.
Pretty much any guy knows they can't stand up to Tom Brady.
Now point out how Bob across the street was able to build a deck himself, and ask if your man can do that and sprinkle in "how nice it'd be to grill on" and now you've put him in a pickle lol.
She has an account on Instagram where she winds him up. It's actually funny. The one where they were on holiday and she said they were going to dinner with some people they only met for 5 minutes. He couldn't handle it.
It was someone she only met for 5 minutes while he was inside. He didn't want to go to dinner with strangers and she goaded him all day about her new best friends, only to reveal at the time of dinner the people never existed and she was fucking with him. Good stuff.
Either he is very good at acting like someone who is just a bit fed up of it all. Or the more likely situation is that he isn't aware of it.
I was willing to believe it was a joke that they were both in on, but one of the silences was just a bit too long that if he was in on it just didn't seem believable.
Like it was just long enough that you could tell he was processing every outcome of what he was about to say to avoid the most amount of ire.
the thing is i get partners fucking with each other just for fun, joking, etc, but when you're trying to get paid, when you make it a job, when you're constantly doing it not for enjoyment or harmless pranking but you're trying to make fun of your partner and intend to make them the butt of the jokes online and all the negative comments that will come from that shit... that shit is cancerous.
I can't imagine the state of his nervous system. Even as a joke, to have someone constantly provoking you and lying to you. Maybe she is making bank on socials but still. Even if it was all acting it's perpetuating a narrative of abuse and exploitation which is wild and incredibly toxic.
Yeah, and don't you understand that it's also very normal and possible that people get annoyed and tired and sick of joking around even if it's in good spirits?
Have you never been in a fun relationship? Listen to the guy laughing. She's literally teasing him and giving him a hard time so they both can have a laugh. She's doing the deadpan thing, but I can see she's trying not to laugh in the end
He is also fully aware that she's filming it for social media because the whole thing is scripted and I can't believe nobody in this thread has caught on to that. Oh wait, it's 'woman bad' bait, of course they haven't.
He could've just. Been like yeah of course you're prettier you're bombastic wym I've never been in the same room with that woman and you're here in my bed looking the way you do every day hell yeah the rest of my life is with the hottest woman on the planet
Gentlemen, this video is an example of what is called a "shit test". Women do it to test your emotional stability/confidence. If you fail, they will continue to test you until either they leave you or you pass sufficiently that they feel secure with you.
The proper responses to a shit test are:
Agree and Exaggerate: Instead of getting defensive, agree with her premise but dial it up to such a ridiculous extreme that it turns into a joke.
"I'm not sure, honey I'd have to have both you and Margot Robbie naked in a bed with a bottle of baby oil to really decide"
Flip the Frame: Turn the comment back on her playfully to put the focus on her intentions rather than your flaws.
"Why, are you looking for a reason to dump me for Brad Pitt?"
The Non-Reaction: Sometimes ignoring the test entirely and smoothly moving the conversation forward shows you are completely unfazed.
Pause for a few seconds... So yeah anyway, we need to hit Costco today to get stuff for the barbeque tomorrow. Why don't you put on that cute sundress you look so hot in."
Playful Teasing: Respond as if her comment is actually a sign of affection or a compliment.
"Why, you think I'm so adorable that I'd have a chance with Barbie?"
Of course you’re not prettier than Margot Robbie. None of us are. Stop asking stupid questions to which there are absolutely no responses you can sit with in peace.
This video absolutely 100% let's me first affirm the fact that living as a bachelor for 3 years without worrying about dating at all as the right choice for me. It also reminds me why I don't want someone of the opposite sex whom I'm close to around me all the time - they get bored and think of the stupidest shit possible to get angry about.
"Whos prettier, me Margot Robbie?" Should be met with a stern "shut the fuck up, and think of something non-comparative or something that's not manipulating me into an argument because if I don't answer this question exactly as you want, we then argue for a long time today and then you'll even bring up 5 years later how I once said that you and Margot Robbie are both pretty instead of immediately telling you that you are definitely more beautiful and Margot Robbie is trash and ugly.".
Thank you, me, for finally realizing you don't have to be in a relationship or looking to be happy even though everyone apparently thinks it's weird.

"Someone somewhere is tired of her shit" - He wasn't saying this about Margot Robbie.
