On that note, how absolutely pathetic some men are regarding women such as their GFs. Like a friend who likes action movies, but suddenly has rules like "no guns in movies" because his girlfriend is scared of gun noises, or suddenly wants to put up this air of being really Christiany if she turns out to be religious.
Like, I understand it to a point, being considerate of others and all, but oftentimes it comes off like he's just catering to her every whim.
To be fair women do this too though. Either way the result is often a clearly one-sided relationship. I basically stopped dating after hearing one too many of these kinds of stories.
I think both sides suffer when someone acts like a doormat.
Hell, look at one of the most active threads in BP, Idubbbz and Anisa Jomha; people say Idubbbz is a cuck, but the fact is that he's gleefully sat by and let his partner fuck herself up while bankrolling and encouraging the entire thing. It's sick to watch, any compassionate man would look at his girlfriend spiraling out of control and tell her "Look, I can't watch you destroy yourself. I'm happy to help you get straight if I can, but if you continue I won't be here while it happens"
Had Anisa been with a different person who was willing to provide some firmness and structure, she wouldn't be covered in hideous tattoos that look like a toddler scribbled all over her, she wouldn't have horrifically mangled lopsided tits, she wouldn't have shaved her head, she'd probably have some kind of work history instead of a history of embarrassing publicly available softcore porn...when a person panders to their partner it infantalizes them, and while their partner may initially like getting their way it fucks them up and makes them miserable in the long run (not that I especially care about Anisa, she's trash and does her best to drag Ian down as well, but still).
Coddling people is not in their best interest, so if a guy does it it's a sign that he doesn't actually care that much about a woman, but rather that he values fostering codependence over her well being.
Retards telling me I'm mad because I disagreed with them. I wasn't mad, but now I am.
It's not just me then.
I think that there must just be a lot of people around here who are sensitive to confrontation, to the extent that they interpret someone trying to make a concise point or using irreverent language as them being angry.
That's one of the weaknesses of written word; without tone and context it leaves a lot of room for neurotics to fill in the blanks with all kinds of connotations that were never there to begin with.
