Girl boring guy quirky.
And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.
“But I am gay.”
Plot twist!
Most of the comments share my distain for this sexist shit “humor.” So where are the over 500 upvotes coming from? Who likes this shit?
I think it is funny. I enjoyed it because like most good humor, it is a playful exaggeration on patterns that exist on real life. Sometimes those patterns break along racial or gendered lines, and that’s ok. You’re not a bad person if you think it’s funny. I get laughs out of lighthearted humor that pokes fun at men as well.
Damn, really easy to spot the Americans in the comments
And this one even has a little homophobia sprinkled in.
I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.
It does appear this post is ultra based. /s
Woman bad
Thanks, I am validated now
Tagged as “insane misandrist”, it sure checks out.
I’ve now tagged you as “insane misogynist” for the sake of balance.
I wouldn’t say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.
The whole meme is about how women are “hysterical” and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.
It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.
I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he’s moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.
???
Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.
Men who don’t marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.
Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.
I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.
What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.
And we wonder why there’s a male loneliness epidemic
The guy didn’t explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.
My first thought ^^
I had a friend who excitedly told me about their new car but neglected to mention their 6 month old son.
Shit, that reminds me I should text my best friend, he might be a father by now.
waahhhh there is a loneliness epidemic and nobody cares about men
Ah yes assuming sexual preference based on martial status, just like friends do.
Oh, friends assume sexual preference based on other things too. Like the way you eat a hotdog, what kind of car you drive, how quickly you can recognize that the song is by Kyle Minogue, how long you hold a sloppy french kiss with your homies, wether you you sit with your legs crossed or slow down on a yellow light.
gay people cant get married?
Once again, Estonia is the best of the Baltics.
Estonia being called baltic and not nordic:
Why not both?
Soon maybe not anymore
Depends on where you are sadly.
He was starting to think it, and now he knows.
He is gay, married another bro.
This is something I don’t like about guys, as a guy.
“Low maintenance friendships”, aka friendships. Can’t remember who I heard it from, but someone put it in a way that resonated well with me. If it needs constant work, it’s not a friendship. If you’re friends, you can meet after not being in touch for five or ten years and continue exactly where you left off.
Edit: “constant” being the key word. It takes a lot of work achieve that level of friendship, but it may also be the only type worth having
This idea that any kind of relationship should be effortless and easy is, frankly, incredibly absurd. Good relationships (of which friendships are) take real effort and work. If you don’t want to put that work in to it then you need a pet rock, not a friend.
Friendships take effort and work absolutely, but once you’ve made friends for life, they stick. I feel you’ve misunderstood what I was trying to say. People that are in constant need of you serving them or they say they’ll stop being your friends were never your friends to begin with.
Probably doesn’t work the same for everyone, but I’ve never been one to have a big circle of occasional pals or “friends” to hang out with. For the most part, with the people I connect with I develop very deep, lifelong friendships that work through thick and thin because they’re not based on what one can gain from another.
Yeah, active relationships take effort. However, the true friends I made growing up, I can hit them up or they can hit me up, after any number of years, and we pick up right where we left off… It hits different.
