Posted July 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Axiomatic said: And on top of all of that, women ALWAYS try to read in between the lines. If my girl friend throws me a party and I say I had a good time, she will be like "but you kind of frowned during it and it made me feel like you didn't enjoy it blah blah blah" That's not "women", that's your girlfriend. If you keep trying to understand the entirety of "women" as one big entity that thinks in one way you'll never actually understand what your girlfriend feels and thinks. Every individual is a complex thing which cannot be broken down into gender-dependent stereotypes. You complain that women on this forum engage in those stereotypes for men, so you open this post as a "revenge" doing the exact same thing? Unlikely to be very productive lol Why does she has those insecurities? How could I know? But if you pay attention to her, being genuinely interested in how she feels, you might get to understand her better and help her heal the source of her insecurities. But don't act as if she knows what she's doing and she's doing it to piss you off in some sort of machiavellian plan. Her insecurities probably feels as bad to her as it feels to you. She might not even realize she's acting like that. Best thing you can do really is fully understand her, instead of holding the belief that, as a man you cannot understand woman. This is just a bullshit excuse people use to get relationships without actually putting any effort it. Whether you want a deep relationship based on understanding or a transactional one that is based on fear and insecurities is entirely up to you. At the end of the day you won't get any insight into her by asking some guys on this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know. Spoiled I guess. And it occurs mostly with white women. Go figure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 7, 2021 You do realize that a relationship is like a mirror right ? All our disowned parts are held up for us to see, accept and love. It can be quite humbling if you let it. That's why relationships are such full on vehicles for growth. Remember this sentence: it's never about the other person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 7, 2021 @Axiomatic You're not getting it. What I'm saying is that you're battle is not with woman out there. The real battle is always an internal one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 7, 2021 @Axiomatic Dude, from personal experience I can say that trying to get others to look at themselves is a futile exercise. I found what works in relationships, is just to really become aware of myself, what triggers me is simply showing me I have some past hurts to heal, and thus I can love myself more in the process. Somehow the relationship then begins to take care of itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is okay to criticize men without question on here, but if you do the same for women, it is met with every defense mechanism imaginable. Look at all of the responses, proof right there. I believe this is prevalent on internet forums because feminism feels like they're on the verge of making changes, and any kind of criticism could upset their agenda.

Posted July 7, 2021 I’m actually surprised the backlash took this long tbh This section of the forum has always been a dumpster fire. I wonder if they really did think their hyper psycho-analyzations and long paragraphs on why the problem is YOU and not them in almost every single thread would go unnoticed. Not everyone is stupid and most can see right through it When the damn creator of this forum (Leo) has to lightly walk on eggshells and elaborate that his posts aren’t to perpetuate the angel & princess myth fairytale, you know shit has lost the plot. You think this is bad? You should’ve seen the fail threads before the forum crashed and data got wiped out a week or two ago. It was all just taking a big steamy shit on men and everyone agreeing in unison lmao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know. Spoiled I guess. And it occurs mostly with white women. Go figure This is your personal belief, just a point of view. If this was generally true for everyone, everyone would have the same issue as you do and everyone would agree with you. Personally, I don't experience your problems because I don't hold your beliefs and POV. You are trying to take the issues you have in your relationship and turn it into a general argument against women as a distraction from looking in into yourself and see what's actually happening. Your opinion of women is really the opinion of the women you met or dated. Consider the possiblity that you may attract people who corresponds to you and that there are women out there who do not act in the way your girlfriend acts. You created this relationship with someone else and the way it turns out is really a result of your own actions. Trying to blame women in general is really just trying to avoid taking responsabilities for what you built with her. You can play the victim as much as you want, it won't ever feel good or "solve" the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I try to never completely reject anything anyone says, because everything has a pint of truth in it. All of the women's posts had something valuable in them, especially regarding relationships (maybe except preety ones lol), despite their obvious blindspots.

All of the women's posts had something valuable in them, especially regarding relationships (maybe except preety ones lol), despite their obvious blindspots. Oh of course, it goes without saying. That’s the thing though, that’s what you’re supposed to do! Everyone is equal and valid in their opinions as long as they let others share theirs without deflecting/projecting. The other side doesn’t do that though, reading in between the lines. They poke and poke and poke and what do you know, the bear woke up. Just wait until the damage control comes out and you’ll have to wade through walls of texts. Lmao The addiction to being right is a huge bitch in this subsection. A lot of shit is said with nothing of value other than “actually… I’m right” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
