If I met someone who's like "I listen to Andrew Tate" it'd be the last time I hold any respect for that person....if possible I will also completely cut them out of my life.

This is something most preschoolers learn. If someone can't cope with it as an adult...run for the hills, my friend. RUN.

When my husband cleans, he does a great job. The only problem being that he acts as though he’s done me a favor afterward.

My soon to be son in law, will put a tampon in his pocket when he knows it's my daughter's time of the month just in case she forgets or doesn't have enough on her. I love him for this because my daughter really suffers and he tries to make things as easy as I for her.

If they can't talk about periods or buy me a tampon they do not get sex. Simple

I don't care if he thinks it is icky because I feel icky and hate the whole deal myself. It is kind of gross. To me. So he can think it's gross....but in a "Damn, my babes has to deal with some real human grossness. I feel for her and am going to be nice about it like she would if the shoe were on the other foot...." Kind of way. If I'm in a position to ask him to get me tampons? Boy, you best get those mfers with a smile or you are NEVER touching where they go again.

I remember my ex suggesting that I don’t buy applicator tampons and just reuse an applicator with the non-applicator type as they were cheaper! Took me far too long to convince him that wasn’t a thing, especially as all applicators at the time were cardboard…

We buy these at Costco. No one cares. It’s a normal product. All the whiners out there need to grow up

I hate this one. I have always offered to go pick these things up for my wife. The first time I did, I was running errands, and I asked my wife (housebound at the time) if there's anything I'm missing from my list. She said just something she'll ask her sister to pick up for her. I said I can do that, no problem. I didn't force it, because if she isn't comfortable asking me to pick it up, then I'm not going to insist just to make myself feel better. Thankfully, she felt comfortable enough to ask me, and it's been the norm ever since.

I don't think there's anything wrong with finding periods ick, I think they're ick even after 30 years of having them. The important part is being supportive during the icky time. When I ask my male bestie to get me some tampons he asks "what kind do you need?"

tbh, periods really are ick. but yeah, it's a real problem if he has a problem with them!

I never understood this, from both sides..a lot of men need to grow up about this but so do a lot of women. Just because it's a natural process and something most females do, doesn't mean it's not ick. In fact, just about everything that exits a human body is icky and a period is no different. Almost everyone is an a*****e here.

My bf bulk buys my pads and is respectful though when I do start he jokes time for gaming for a week lol (he works most time so rarely on games)

I mean, I do think periods are ick just like a lot of stuff I'm willing to deal with, but luckily my partner never makes me deal with them (he's a guy).

I'm wondering if a part of that might be from not knowing what kind, type, etc to get and the fear of looking like an idiot if he gets the wrong kind? Not all men (even some of the well meaning ones) are going to know this and the fear of getting yelled at because you got the wrong ones can be a pretty strong thing.

I don’t really care as long as he’s still DTF on my period. My ex would rub my back, cook me dinners, bring me chocolate, get my pads, run my bath, he was truly amazing but he wouldn’t have sex. My new guy isn’t that accommodating but a little blood doesn’t scare him and we can still get it on. Priorities lol.

I gladly go out for my wife and daughter, hell I even know their favourite products. I'll never understood why some men are disgusted about it!

One could just have a stash of them in the house, or shop for them herself. This seems like it's creating a problem where there should not be one, and is only posted for the memes. Communicate a bit, and it's fine.

I had that useless organ removed. If I had put the money in a jar that I used to spend on feminine products I'd probably have million bucks.

Sounds like me when I was 16.

Guys are right, though: periods are ick.

Yes, my ex. He once destroyed my phone because he asked a mate what the location of the Thunderdome was and i said from across the room Calder Park Races is also called the Thunderdome, I shouldn't have interrupted and didn't know what I was talking about. We lived 10 minutes from there, I lived there all my life and he was from across the other side of the city. Learnt all about his true attitude to me that day, it was my phone too and no he did not replace it. When we broke up he moved back in with his mum, they had a fight and he punched a hole in her wall. He rang me for sympathy cos she upset him,like seriously?

I live in the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad and it amazes me how many racist persons you come across...on an island that's known as the "melting pot" even our anthem has "every creed and race find and equal place".

Ooooo kay....very disturbing picture that doesn't fit with the post.

I think game playing is an underrated life skill. Playing any kind of skill-based game like Chess, Go, or eurogames like Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan (or literally *thousands of others*) enhances the players' understanding of The Theory Of Mind, the (almost) uniquely human ability to visualize what another person knows and doesn't know. That kind of non-emotional empathy is useful in any number of other areas. Likewise, understanding how working within a system of rules leads to better outcomes would help people understand how politics works.

The whole alpha male idea is a complete myth. The writer of the book about wolves who was the first to describe it, David Mech, has repeatedly said it was wrong, he did more research later that disproved his initial theories but the myth of the alpha male simply won't die. You're not an alpha male, you're an arrogant bully who is terrified of his own feelings so refuses to acknowledge them and so insecure about yourself that you have to put on an act of what you think a man is. You're lying to yourself and everyone else.

If I did the crime I'll do the time

If everyone around you is an a*****e, you're probably the a*****e.

Flinging poo like a worked up chimpanzee is also a red flag.

Also: tortures animals and murders people are deal breakers.

Like when my dad is sick. He reverts to acting like a toddler. Complete with tantrums. I recently read him the riot act when I watched him swear at my mother over something incredibly stupid, just because he was ill and felt terrible. Sorry, but you are still an adult and are expected to behave as such - I don't care how bad your cold is!

I agree, cheaters are awful but this sounds oddly personal. I wanna hear what health reasons this guy came up with! 🤣

I know a lot of people are used to the Schroedingers A-Hole type of guy here, but as a prime example of another, more subtle example of this problem: there are those of us that regularly use self deprecating humor and jokes about everything mundane to keep an emotional distance from everyone. Even if hyper self aware, it keeps most genuine emotions far from the mind and let's us isolate our own problems.

It's quite useful though, if someone uses that term in a derogatory or dismissive fashion (or even worse, the term 'femoid') then it marks them out as someone to avoid.

Binge drinking vehicle antifreeze when he can’t afford real alcohol is also a bad sign. (Mostly a Russian soldier thing.) EDIT: Sorry! It was Russian soldiers drinking brake fluid from their vehicles. Here is a link https://www.rbth.com/history/327553-crazy-soviet-alcohol

An unhealthy fascination with death/suicide is also a no go for some.

...doesn't know how ro spell etc...

Also known as a nice guy.

well there are a lot of things to unpack here, this person is talking about one very specific example. And yes if the man lies about his gf's age, its immature, but as long as they are of legal age, I dont care what you do. I knew a man who met his wife when she was 21 and he was 35, they were married 60 year until she died (were together 61 years in total), he lived to 104. The hiding the age bc they are uncomfortable is a sign of immaturity, but as I said, as long as both parties are legal and there was no grooming, I dont care.

Depends on the disagreement. If it’s caused because you’d rather sacrifice him to Satan than do the dishes, he’s allowed to get mad at you

That's more of a "it's not about me so I'm not going to listen to you and your .....!".

Wait, we can't have mental health problems now? We've only just got used to admitting to having them!

A bunch of random vehicles expresses this thought PERFECTLY.

Hm. "Little to no furniture" may have some exceptions. My apartment only had very basic furniture for years, just because I was saving every cent and couldn't afford other pieces. Agree with the rest.

He might be a lawyer.....

Arson, incest, dandruff, the list goes on and on.
