My parents taught me that too. "If you can't afford to give it away, you can't afford to loan it."

It’s better to have your nose in a book than someone else’s business. Periodt ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

This is true. Family members can be so Toxic...

That's really important - thanks for sharing!

babies are calmer for calm parents

I always do. Never a good idea to show you're not home.

Wow, she was way ahead of the game.

It's something we all subconsciously do, we tend to pay more attention to people who are like us

Negan said this too

You don't have to be liked by everyone, just as you don't like everyone you meet! :)

Anyone who thinks dogs are obedient all the time clearly haven't had any experience with Chihuahuas

Or you could be truly independent and make your mind up about a man by yourself.

Yeahhh, no. My husband loves dogs, doesn't like cats. Greatest guy ever.

I feel like that's too stereotypical!! (。_。)

Load of rubbish this one. As much as I love animals, there are plenty of reasons to not like them that doesn't reflect onto people.

In my experience most of men say they dislike cats because that's what is expected. It's one of those toxic masculinity things. Like cats are girly etc. But when a cat sets a paw in a household, most of the men become best buddies with the feline. Just look at all the posts of 'my dad said no cats in this house'.

Bullshit. I don't like cats really. My wife is better educated than me, probably more intelligent than me and is overall an independent woman. And I love her for that.

Where do I stand with women then? I love cats, dogs and red pandas. But not wasps. They are just d***s!

No. This one is dumb.

Hm. How about this: look at how he treats the dog. If he is just using the dog as a method to feel powerful and "alpha" - look for someone else. Also, just because someone likes cats (or animals in general) doesn't mean they are nice people! So this advice is pretty much bullshit.

Ok, this one is just stupid.

I like dogs because I rarely had any friends growing up and my dog was my friend and playmate.

Maybe he just doesn't like litter boxes

Or maybe he had a bad experience with a cat as a child? I got scratched once and it took me years to get over it.

This is not true. My dad hates cats because they kill birds, not because they're independent.

None of my dogs has ever been all that obedient. At best they take things as requests, which then need to be followed up by treats. I still prefer dogs over cats because dogs are more likely to be glad to see you. With cats it's far more likely to depend on the personality of the cat. I could see the statement as being somewhat true if the guy is a real hard ass towards his dogs and they've been trained to be obedient.

I also noticed a lot of guys who like cats also don't like the responsibility. They want something living around but they don't really have to do much...

Totally not true. My ex fiancé had a cat and was extremely controlling and I left. Another ex also had a cat and also loved to have authority. I'm more of a dog person because I have more experience with dogs than with cats due to my grandmother being allergic.

Or perhaps he likes an animal you have to mindfully build into every aspect of your home life and take responsibility for the exercise and nurturing of instead of one you just feed and clean up crap for.

Is it from the other post about “cat person” talk about “dog person” in sort of passive-aggressive way? (Don’t remember if it actually was or not, but)

This is stupid. Cats can completely be trained and dogs can be completely independent. Liking dogs does not mean you only like those who are obedient.

Unless you plan on leaving hair everywhere, wandering off into other peoples beds whenever you please, scratching all the furniture and coughing up hairballs, then this is total BS. This mother clearly doesn't think too highly of themselves if they compared their entire gender to natures assholes.

If you think dogs are obedient, you never met mine. He's actually a good boy, but stubborn as all get out.

Maybe he is allergic? I am

or perhaps he doesn't want his corpse eaten if he should die and be stuck with his pet. Or he doesn't trust an animal that will smother a baby out of jealousy. Or maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want to have to clean turds up multiple times a day, and have a room in his home that stinks like animal leavings.

Or he’s just a dog person? 😂 this is so not true!

bullshit

Wow I thought I disliked cats because I’m allergic and they hate me, guess it’s because I’m controlling and misogynistic.

I'm allergic to cat dander, so...

What? Dogs are also less clean and smells more than cats, does it mean that this type of men like women with bad hygiene? Cats are much more likely to scratch you whereas dogs are more likely to lick your face, does this tell us something about their owner's fetish? This is not a useful advice, there is no correlations in what she wrote
