if there is one hill i will die on its being very against the constant trend of everyone saying “omg siblings!!” about every single friendship between a man & a woman in fiction.

speak of self esteem, someone that have their asteroid medusa (149) in your 2nd are the one that silently judge and mock you. the one that try to attack your self esteem. the one that underestimate you; and will start to think "whats cool about them?" if you get great achievement in life. EVEN think that you dont deserve that and it should be them because they think theyre way much better than you 😹😹 what a bitch. beware of them try to steal your great things as a result ‼️😒👹💥💥
asteroid nemesis (128) in house shows ab whats hurt you then you develop animosity/hatred to it, check the theme of the house
1h - hatred towards self identity, hatred towards how people see you, you can hate your looks :(
2h - hatred towards possessions. You may lacks of material possessions, feel less than others in that area and you hate it
3h - hatred towards sibling, neighbor
4h - hatred towards family
5h - hatred towards "spotlight", flings, drama, childlike spirit
6h - hatred towards coworker, health (you may feel youre less healthy than others)
7h - hatred towards partner (✋💀💀), partnership itself. you likely wanna do everything alone
8h - hatred towards mystery. you hate it when someone hides something from you, not clear ab something, keeping something from you, being secretive
9h - hatred towards um.... tw religions. sorry you probably hate particular beliefs. hatred towards travelling, inlaws are also possible
10h - hatred towards public image, fame. you can hate public figures, famous person 😹😹 (im laughing because yeah we all know public figure often are not what they show on the media aka theyre fake)
11h - hatred towards friend, hatred towards what you see on internet. can be indicator of someone that dont like to use social media, or you give hate speech/comments on social media
12h - hatred towards whats "out of reach"
cardinal moons are pure souls that surrounded by "darkness". they can easily influenced by negativity from their surrounding so they MUST, i say MUST to keep good ppl around them or....bye (aka they can turn themselves into the evil)
what's with sag venus and having interest in things that they shouldnt be interested to
taurus women have this fiery strong badass facade to them, while the men looks like cute puppy (and wise???) lmao (for sun moon mars)
mutable mercury in first decan (0°-9°) why are you like to lie for no reason. are prone to say what they dont really mean. go seek better hobbies!
some of leo sun men are gay but they hide it by having love relationship with women... that's very weird (and irritating) of you
undeveloped earth venus only falls for/want to dating popular goodlooking mf even if in personality wise theyre not that best and it can leads to unfulfilling relationship 💁‍♀️
talk ab earth venus, i see them always fall for fixed sign venus (no im not referring them fixed venus as bad one that i mentioned above)
developed earth venus? they dont need to be with someone to increase their status, they simply being the (true) great person they are 🤩 (they know how to and do get the good life by themselves!!)
what i like ab fire moon is theyre so passionate but sometimes it can be too passionate where it leads to them making unnecessary drama 😭😭
water suns are prone to being delusional 😹😹
air venus stop giving mixed signals
i cant help but think ab where sagittarius in your chart shows what's "wild", "crazy" about you. thats why pluto in sag generations being seen as scary bcs the power (pluto rules ab power) they have.... 😹😹
moon-neptune aspects 🤝 say something then regret it
libra big 6 placements 🤝 attract petty ppl (and then get attacked, being seen as bad one when they just want to defend/protect themselves :()
undeveloped fixed moon 🤝 being petty
pluto in earth house (2h/6h/10h) are the brat but loved lmao
aqua mars 🤝 makes ppl amazed
air sign jupiter give the vibes of unstoppable teenagers (in a good way). see blackpink lisa (aqua jupiter), nct jaemin (gemini jupiter), newjeans hanni (libra jupiter), or another air sign jupiter you know! 😉
saturn-sun aspect are prone to experience unexpected loss :(
there's nothing more i hate in synastry than squaring to venus aspect... bc i feel unwanted there 🧍‍♀️🪓

On the saying “be aware of your mental health”
⚠️Warning: triggering post ahead⚠️not for people with weak mind⚠️
Note that on this post everytime i said “help” it means therapist/people who say they are expert on mental illness. Of course, though, to seek help and company from people around you—friends, family, siblings, close people you know, when youre in doubt or struggling or feeling down or in need of support emotionally or anything, this doesnt have to be questioned—it is something of a must. Why? Cause humans are social beings. They are dependant to others. Therefore everytime i say “help” on this post i really just mean mental help (therapist/people who will diagnose you with mental illnesses).
The thing that i observed, of what causes mental health issue, is the inability to know the identity of oneself.
In order to live, the first thing one should know and make peace with isnt the environment, or family, or ones brain, or anything, but themselves.
Once someone cant do this, they simply become questionnable as an individual.
How can you be born in this world, have the ability to think of cracking down things to even the simplest, and yet you cant even deal with, understand, and know your own self—the thing closest to you? The thing that is actually yourself? The thing that matters the first?
It might seem like a pity, but more than it is a pity, it is an individual choice.
Every individual should deal with themselves. No one should tell them how, no one should tell them they “cant” and that they need help of drugs in order to deal with themselves. I feel that the moment they feel they cant, and that they need help, is the moment it becomes their choice, and that they have lost themselves.
Is losing oneself something good? Is it that when someone is depressed, i should have pity on them and treat them differently, even when its their choice?
People say its not their choice, but it is. It is ones fault that one lost temselves. Everyone is given intelligence, ability to think. What is this world? What is the purpose of this world? What is the purpose of me? What is right and wrong? With the ability, if someone still cant figure out life, once again, it is their choice.
One of the phrase that i found very dislikable is that we should be aware of our mental health.
What does that even mean?
We should be aware of our mental health, and then what? When i am sad, i can be sad, if i want to cry, i can cry, if i want to be upset and angry, let me be upset and angry, if i am happy, then let me be, if i feel deep sadness, no one can stop me, but someone can do all this without having to lose themselves. Someone can do all this while controlling it. What is this saying we should be aware of ourselves?
Should we be, sad and crying on the floor, sad and crying on our pillow, and then we question ourselves: am i in deep sadness? And then we seek the answer to someone else? Is this what “being aware” means?
How can someone else know us better than ourselves? Why should i believe someone who thinks they “studied” human psychology, whilst i myself am human and i am given the ability to control my psychology, telling me i am like this and like that.
No one can control their physical stuff, virus gets inside your throat and makes you sick, your kidney is worn out and you dont take care well so they malfunctioned, but how can mental—something that doesnt even have physical form, something that cant permanently unchange, wear out and leave you be just like that? It is not even something separated from you. It is you.
We should be aware of our mental health, that is right, but it means nothing. Everyone has done this ever since the first time human existed. It is not something new. Theyre always aware. Are they sad? Are they happy? Are they raising their chin high up and being brave?
The only difference is instead of questioning their ownselves, they control their own selves. Is controlling your ownself something forced?
No, it is naturality.
In the past, people seek for immortality, tales were told about this thing and that which can make someone immortal, in the past people lost their parents in young ages, go to war, and in Islam a hadith said one of sign of the end day is that people look at grave and say “if only i was the one that is in that place”.
I am not at all saying what happened in the past was all good, most were even bad, i will say. I am just saying people in the past lived in worse condition but they managed, and whats “glorified” is of cherishing life.
So, what caused everything to change?
1. The idea that people have had mental issues since long time but they “hid” it.
2. Glorification of mental health issues as if its really something urgent, when its not even something new (in the sense that, in most times everyones “mental health” is fine thats why we never thought about it much and only in this mOdERN thInkInG ScHEmE we are told to figure whether we are fine or not).
3. Individualistic, materialistic, atheistic, way of life.
My opinions on those:
1. Once again mental health is not diagnosed and then unchangeable, it is controlled. Someone can be a whiner and if theyre told to go to army they will be strong. It is built, it is trained, not given. In the past, in the future, this concept still hasnt changed that it thrills me whenever someone thinks mental health is not part of them and that they need someone else to “fix” it. If mental ilnness is such a big deal in lives of people of common society we wouldve heard much about it in the past about people who couldnt “function” or live like other people normally. We dont hear about them, much, because they were not told that they mightve had mental issues, instead they just lived usual. In other hand we know well that people in the past had physical illnesses—black plague, or anything, it was physically there and we heard it a lot. Or we mightve heard in some tales about people who were insane, crazy, outcasted. But NOT mass of people who couldnt function normally and deemed abnormal. Its because the truth is mental illness is nothing. Someone might have severe depression, or someone might have depression in lives, but chance to have severe depression is very low, and chance to have depression that makes you need medication is as low. You dont need medication. Just live.
2. The one that made it widespread, as ever, are leftists people. I just recently played tumblr but i have heard a lot about this tumblr movement that happened long time ago, lets call them SJW. SJW are social justice warriors and they went to tumblr, but i heard now theyre dominating twitter. So when they were in tumblr they think they were “quirky” and “unique” and they mostly were weird people. And on basis of political correctness they started bring about the idea that LGBT is fine. But not just that, this “be aware of your mental health” and post-modern feminism and “abortion is a choice” also started. Political correctness is so much of people who are too emotional and they use their brain and logic less. I know i sound biased, you can do research on your own if you want. I also have theory on how these people who played tumblr mostly were women, cause as far as i know around that time men played video games usually. But that will make it long.
Just im saying that this “be aware of your mental health” stuff doesnt just occur naturally as evolution/progress of advancement of thoughts. It was brought about politically, by people who think they are the most right, when they are the ones knowing things less, romanticize everything, they are like toddler who figure out new things and think that is what is most right, you can go to twitter and figure. This all though, is just my conclusion based on my own observation of the world.
3. Say no more, these all are just characteristics of the west, unfitting for outside of west world. Individualism rarely happens outside west (with exception) and people always have someone to tell problems to—friends, family, close people. Individualistic society will be more prone to not having anyone and therefore has to go to therapist to talk about their problem. Someone once said though religion cant stop mental health but that is such a joke. As i have stated, to know and control your own mental is to know yourself and your identity. If you are an ugly person and you dont think youre ugly, if someone says to you that you are ugly, then you will not even feel bad for yourself. If someone tells you we are living in void and that this world is so bad and that theres no point of living, if you understand those sayings are wrong, then you will not drown in the same bitterness as they do right? In this world and life everyone and everything will tell and say many things to you throughout your life, and if you cant even think on your own whether theyre right or should you listen to them, i dont even know how you live. Anyhow, the right religion will tell you purpose of life so if you are given purpose of life and you still feel life is so pointless, you are not taking the religion seriously.
I have quiet grown tired of writing, so i will just state what to do to help yourself so you wont eat all these pointless “be aware of your mental health” slogans:
1. Understand that psychology is not exact science and therefore not completely reliable. Sorry to break it to you. I myself am a hardcore unbeliever of psychological study. Unless someone cant think straight (insane), theres no need to rely on what psychology says about oneself. Its not even science. If biology says youre having cancer, then youre having cancer. But if psychology says youre diagnosed with this and that, its just cringe. How do you know? Is the “depressed cell” there and shows themselves to you through microscope? Psychologists dont even know sometimes that psychology is not exact science.
2. Psychology is not a unique or unreachable field. In the sense of its not worth to “understand thoroughly” about it that you think you need to ask expert if you dont. Rule about psychology is just: humans are divided into two, people who can think straight and cant think straight (sane and insane). As long as youre sane, you have the ability to control what you do and yourself. Thats all.
3. Know yourself and your identity. If you are asked, who are you? What is your identity? You should know. If not, youre a confused person and you will for sure think for nights if someone says to you “you are narcissist”, you will think you really are even when its not true.
4. Dont rely on forced positivity to escape fear of having mental illness. Forced positivity dont help😐just acknowledge out there people live normally without having to have so much positivity to survive. Why? Because too much positivity is not normal.... just be yourself and live
5. Fix yourself. Do you feel youre a narcissist? Do you feel you have one of those traits of being mentally ill? Then make those traits gone. Dont think that you are permanently mentally unstable and therefore need help. No. Help yourself first.
6. To feel is ok. Be sad, be happy, be angry, cry all you want. But just acknowledge that you can control yourself, cause you have ability to be sane. After letting those all go, youre fine again.
7. Everyone makes mistakes. Did you make mistake just yesterday? Did you make mistake that made whole world hates you? Its totally fine. Just promise to yourself, instead of to people, that you will improve and will not make the same mistake again. That is right, it reminds me,
8. Everyone feels what you feel. Do you some times feel deep sadness? Do you some times feel so hopeless that probably die is best thing? Do you feel things that you think people dont feel? Dont worry, everyone feels it in some times of their lives. Just cause someone looks fine the whole time doesnt mean they are in fact fine the whole time and doesnt feel like how you feel about stuff. This world is not really a good place so it will torture everyone. You are not different, so dont feel different. You are normal. Indulging in emotions thinking people dont feel the same emotion will just make you lose yourself. People are not fine in a day, and they will be fine in another day, and they feel happy in another day, its just life.
9. Dont live up to peoples expectation. Of course its not like if your parents want you to be good kid then you shouldnt live as good person. I mean to say, if society expect you to be like this and that, but theres no benefit in acting as they do, then nothings wrong with you if you dont do as they do. Just understand what is right and wrong and that is enough.
10. Be determined about your stance. Dont get easily influenced. Know what you stand for by thinking about it thoroughly.
11. Be comfortable with yourself.
12. You are who you think you are. Fake it til you make it. Be fine until you are really fine.
13. Youre the only one who can save yourself. People will help you, but the choice to be saved and become fine again can only be done by you. No one but your own self is going to come and “save” you.
My point of writing this is that, most people in the world are sane and not mentally ill/sick in severe sense til they need pSyChIAtrIsT help. One of question i heard much is that “so what if people think they have mental illness? Whats in it for you to judge them?” Well first of all it will create generation of weak minded people that think they need help for anything. Second is that i just feel sorry when someone who is fine mentally comes accross this kind of thing and they start thinking whether theyre “mentally normal” or not. One of the funny experience i had is when i was just googling on why cats are so cute and on quora someone says its because humans are masochist so they like cats biting and clawing them (and he got many votes)🤦‍♀️i really feel pity for him probably being sure what he said is true. If people are masochist, they will pet tigers or crocodiles instead. The truth is, hearing about probability of having mental illness without actually understanding it will make you paranoid. So i write this to let everyone know, that probability is the lessest thing. Unless you live in full tragedy, chance is you are fine and will continue to be so.
Indulging in psychology is not worth it if for common people, for people who have mental disturbance (crazy/insane) then ok but for commoners who once again have ability to think sane and are given intelligence, its such a waste of time to question whether one is “normal” or not. If you are able to think logically and know what is right and wrong then that is enough.
People are not so different from each other.
Tumblr media
Even therapists who understand the truth will know that psychology and therapists are semi-real and therefore useless for common society unless in the case of people with severe cases

100 Things All Women Need To Know About Men (According to 100 Men)
Found on AskReddit.
1. Men aren’t mind readers.
Men arent mind readers…if you want something, be direct.
2. Guys are shy, too.
Guys are shy, too. Don’t be afraid to walk up and talk.
3. Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
4. If you want a ‘bad boy,’ expect to be treated badly.
Don’t tell me you don’t like me because I’m a ‘nice guy’ and that most girls like ‘bad boys, and then come looking for a shoulder to cry on when he cheats on you or treats you like shit. Instead, go fuck yourself. I don’t care, because you got what you deserved. Next time, try looking for someone who cares about you, even if they’re ‘too nice.
5. It’s not OK to physically assault men, period.
It’s not OK to physically assault men, period. It doesn’t matter how small you are and how big the guy is. If you don’t disagree, walk away, voice your concern, or speak to the law.
6. We are just as emotionally complex as women are.
Men’s emotional lives are, pretty much across the board, just as complex and nuanced as women’s.
Also, there’s a whole ecosystem of subtle communication, competition, and one-upmanship between men (think Alpha/Beta but way more complicated) that is probably largely invisible to you.
We’ve had to navigate through it all our whole lives and sometimes it stinks.
7. Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too.
Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too; even just minor ones feel nice.
8. We are not machines. We are human, too.
We are not machines. We get sick. We can cry. We can be goofy or funny. We can be weak or scared. We can go limp. We can complain. We can be nice and sweet. Don’t make men out to be machismo meatheads who just walk around looking for sex and expect us to always be strong and confident and take charge on every single little thing. We are human, too. It’s not bad to be a nice guy.
9. Some of us actually are hopeless romantics.
That some of us actually are hopeless romantics. We want to find true love, too. Even then we will still make mistakes. Some of us it will be really stupid and think that we want different women just because that’s the way we are programmed. And sometimes it takes something big to make us realize that’s not what we want.
10. You shouldnt smack us down for showing emotions.
“ If we open up to you, let us do it instead of smacking us down for being emotional, you’ll have a friend for life.
Don’t assume what movies teach about men is at all accurate; seriously, my last girlfriend did and was perpetually worried I’d cheat even though I find the concept abhorrent.
If we’re quiet, it means we’re thinking, not angry.
We have a strong desire to protect the women in our life, whether that be our wife, our sister, or our grandmother even. We do get overprotective due to an admittedly over-reliance on our gut feelings, and we’re aware it’s annoying you, but humor us and you may be surprised with the results.
A mans younger siblings are extremely important; do not insult them if you want us to stay. Talking from experience here.
We worry over our bodies constantly, media bombards us with an ideal you have to work for years to attain and keep, similar to women, let us talk about it if we need to.
I’ll say it again: IF WE OPEN UP TO YOU, LET US!!! DON’T FUCKING SMACK US DOWN FOR BEING EMOTIONAL OR UNMANLY FFS.
11. Rom-coms don’t work in real life.
You know those movies where the woman is unpredictable, annoying, and generally crazy, but the man she is after falls in love with her anyway? That doesn’t work in real life. Seriously.
12. Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis.
Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis. It’s not a fucking game; sometimes shrinkage happens, sometimes I’m just not in the mood. I know that it’s just a game to you, but for us it’s a really big deal. Don’t know why, don’t care why, it just is.
13. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, so I won’t treat you like a princess.
No I won’t treat you like a princess. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, I’m looking for a life partner. My equal.
14. If you keep asking whether we’re angry with you, eventually we will be.
On disagreements: Sometimes a man will disagree with you. He has reasons for it. If you present an argument, and he abruptly says OK, fine, it means you have convinced him. It probably does not mean he’s angry with you. If you then ask, Are you angry at me? and he says no, he isn’t. But if you keep asking, then eventually he will be. Or maybe it’s just me.
15. Don’t use sex as a weapon.
If you weaponize sex, that’s a quick way for us to resent you. And of course if you do not want to do it you should not, but if you treat sex like it is some kind of privilege that your guy should only get it if he has been a good boy and treat it like a reward rather than a romantic and intimate activity that is equally pleasurable for the both of you, then that is a great way to kill any affection your guy has for you.
16. We are afraid of rejection.
Fear of rejection can be downright terrifying. I am lucky that my wife was direct and asked me out.
17. Give us the benefit of the doubt.
Unless we’re fighting, when we say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of the options is bad, we meant the good one.
18. We don’t think about sex every seven seconds.
Men don’t think about sex every 7 seconds. I read this from some womens magazine whilst waiting in the dentist’s office. These womens magazines perception of men is ridiculous.
19. Just say, ‘Sorry, no thanks’ if you don’t want to go out with us.
My deal is, if I ask a girl out and she’s not interested, saying, Sorry, no thanks or a variation thereof is perfectly acceptable. I’ll be more than happy to move the fuck on.
20. Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our minds.
Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our mind. You might think we’re having doubts about all this and things are going to shit so you start acting like it and then it gets all messed up and it’s over. The truth is we’re probably just thinking about the last episode of or something like that. If you want to know, ask!
21. Nonsense behavior will cause us to pull back.
We’re perfectly willing to invest, but nonsense behavior will, little by little, cause us to disinvest. That time you said you were upset and when I asked why, you said, Guess?I pulled back a little. When you started crying instead of articulating your feelings? I pulled back a little. When you developed double standards regarding behaviors that are okay for you but NOT for me? I pulled back A LOT.
22. Do not belittle our cocks.
Unless the guy is super hung, any insinuation that his cock is even a little less than ideal in terms of size hurts a lot. Even some hung guys actually feel like their cock is too small.
23. Say what you mean.
If you say something we’re most likely going to take it at face value.
Example:
Guy: Hey babe I’m going to go play cards at Zach’s tonight is that all right?
Girl: Yeah, that’s fine, stay out all night, I’m going to bed anyway.
Guy:
The guy was giving her the option to keep him home and she told him she was fine with it and she was tired.
24. Mean what you say.
This game of know what I want without me telling you bullshit has got to stop. I’m not a fuckin mind reader. I’m not in a relationship/marriage to play mind games. Tell me what’s on your mind or how you really feel, the guessing games must end. Alternatively, if you would rather me not do something, don’t tell me, ‘No, go ahead it’s fine,’ than get pissed when I do it. Just tell me you’d rather me not.
25. Stop hinting and just tell us what you want.
Your hints are useless. Say what you want. Also, when we pee sometimes we still get some on the floor. Even as adults.
26. If you want to see us happy, just get naked.
Trust me, when a woman is naked, 99% of the time we are happy beyond compare. No matter what you think you look like.
27. If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex.
If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex. If youre just going to lie there like a rag doll while we hump away, it gets boring real quick. Fuck, I could go service myself twice as fast with half the exertion if thats all its about. And on a related note, dont take masturbation personally. Its a literal physical need for men. Imagine walking around for a week with loaded sinuses and being told not to blow your nose. Thats literally how it feels down there when we’re backed up. Let us relieve a little pressure and get off our fucking backs. Its not about you.
28. If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you.
If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you. If you are getting a lot of maybes and excuses, just move on.
29. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
When a guy is constantly doing all the initiating, all of the oral, and all of the work with no reciprocation, don’t act surprised when he stops calling. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
I’ve heard a lot of, Well, I do a lot! Like x, y, and z! Just because it isn’t in the bedroom doesn’t mean it doesn’t count! Yes. Yes, it does mean it doesn’t count when we’re talking about sex. Doing nice things outside the bedroom doesn’t translate into appreciation for what you’re receiving inside the bedroom.
It’s like giving a dog a treat three days after he brings you the paper. How’s he know WTF you just gave him a treat for?
30. Bars aren’t the best place to meet the best guys.
There exist men willing to have serious relationships with youbut those men probably don’t spend their time at bars chatting you up the first time you glance in their direction.
31. Sometimes we just like to hold our balls.
Sometimes, when we’re on the couch, we just like to hold our balls. We’re not sexually aroused, we just like to hold them and know they are there.
32. If you routinely slap your man’s hand away, don’t be surprised if he stops reaching.
If you routinely slap your man’s hand away when he reaches for sex…don’t be surprised if he gets the point and stops reaching.
33. We quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings.
Assuming you’re dealing with a normal male, what we say is what we mean, and what we mean is what we say. Any hidden meanings are a fiction invented by you; we don’t use that channel to communicate.
Conversely, do not use obfuscated communication methods with men for important topics; the odds of us missing or misinterpreting such a communication are high.
Do not talk about problems unless you are prepared to discuss the solution.
If we say we don’t care, we don’t. Especially as regards what we eat. If we say we don’t care, we’re not saying we don’t care who we eat with or whether we’ll eat, only that we don’t care we eat or we eat.
We’re generally shit at going to the doctors or dentists. Even in countries where healthcare is free. Remind us to check for cancer from time to time, or do it for us where possible/appropriate.
Our emotions tend to build up over time, as we quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings. Fortunately, they also fade over time without any obvious outlets, so only sustained angst or serious trauma will have a long-lasting effect.
34. Don’t be nice when rejecting us.
Don’t be nice when rejecting someone. I’m a grown adult and can handle being told no. Just the other day I asked a girl what her plans were Friday and I got a I work all weekend because it’s graduation weekend, but maybe next time!
That could be a hint or genuine statement. Don’t leave shit up in the air, just be straight with us because for the love of god MEN CANNOT READ WOMENS MINDS.
P.S. If you get mad at me for something I did in a dream (I thought people joked about this until it happened to me), I now think youre batshit insane and rule number one is never stick your dick in crazy.
35. We love your big butt in those jeans.
Your butt looks big in those jeans, and we fuckin love it.
36. We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound.
We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound. Omg, i love your shirt! You are soooo. Funny!
37. Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you.
Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you. It makes things a lot easier than saying, Oh, sorry I cant make it my grandma died…my dog is sick…I have to do XYZ. Its a shitty hint, especially after having a seemingly engaging string of conversations.
38. A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
39. Ignore all romantic advice from rom-coms.
Every piece of romantic advice you’ve gotten from a rom-com should be jettisoned as fast as possible. Hard to get does not work. Subtle hints are not going to be picked up on. There is no minimum waiting period for replying to texts, agreeing to a second date, resuming communicationanything. Put your cards on the table and be upfront. Men don’t hate a woman who says no; if anything, most men will be grateful that they can just move on. The happiest relationship I’ve ever been in began in one whirlwind night: We went from first date to drinks after to apartment in a single evening. I’m going to marry her once my bank balance has room for a ring in it.
40. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language.
Men are not fucking mind readers. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language. We play draughts, not chess.
41. Men don’t drop subtle hints.
When I ask, Do you know where the remote is?, I am not asking you to look for the remote. When I ask, Is this basket of laundry clean or dirty?, I am not asking you to do the laundry. When I say, We’re all out of milk, I am not asking you to drop everything and go shopping. For fuck’s sake, I’m just trying to exchange information with you. I’m not trying to drop subtle hints that I am unhappy and need you to do something, my God.
42. Please respect our privacy.
Oh yes, another thing: If I tell you, Please respect our privacy, what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom, and you turn around and tell all your friends…I will be upset and the relationship will probably not last.
43. If you say, ‘Nothing’s wrong,’ we will believe you.
If we ask, What’s wrong? and you answer, Nothing, we will behave exactly as if everything is OK.
44. Don’t try to make us jealous by talking about other guys.
Mentioning how many guys are going for you/chasing you doesn’t create the narrative of, Oh damn, she’s a hot commodity, better try harder. Instead its, Fuck, chasing her seems like it would be a lot of drama, better skip this one.
45. We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
46. All men are different and they should be treated as such.
All men are different and they should be treated as such.
47. If you want us to do something, expect that we’ll do it our way.
If you want me to do something, expect that I’ll do it my way. If you want something done your way, you fuckin do it. This is the price of delegation.
48. We’re not always in the mood for sex.
Just because we can’t get an erection at a given moment, that doesn’t mean we’re not into you or that we don’t want to have sex. It’s not that simple.
49. If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you.
If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you. A self-deprecating joke about how we’re wrong is rarely charming.
50. We’re not interested in playing stupid games.
We can see through the Im fine bullshit. But if you say it three times, we’re going to let it go. It’s not because we aren’t aware it’s bullshit, and it’s not because we don’t careit’s because we’re not interested in playing stupid games.
51. If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends.
If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends. And it goes both ways.
52. Just tell us what you want to eat!
What do you want to eat. pls.
53. If you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
Most of us don’t get subtle hints; if you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
54. We can’t always tell when you’re flirting.
Don’t forget that one woman’s subtle hint’ is another woman’s ‘What? Are you kidding? I was fixing my hair, not flirting, you creep.
55. Your enthusiasm is what makes sex good for us.
What makes sex good? One thing more than anything. ENTHUSIASM. It doesn’t matter how hot you are if I’m banging you and you seem bored. Or if the BJ is like a chore or something. Nothing kills the mood quicker.
56. We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING.
We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING. No thought, no music in our head, just nothing. Complete silence in our head. It’s so calming and relaxing.
57. If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
58. We can’t predict when you’re going to act like an evil gremlin.
Ive never owned a gremlin, so please don’t expect me to understand your feeding patterns and be able to predict when you’re going to become an evil monster because all you’ve eaten was some Melba toast 12 hours ago.
59. Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us.
Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us. It’s called Creep and encompasses Not my type to Level 3 sex offender and everything in between. It’s vastly subjective, applied liberally with very broad brushstrokes, and can occur with something as simple as looking past you to the beer menu and occasionally crossing glances. The majority of guys would really only like to: a) talk like adults, b) ask you to please step aside so we can get to the bartender, or c) continue being subconsciously aware of your existence but actively thinking about nothing. Indifference, the ultimate villainy.
60. We want black and white, so stop giving us grey.
I read a quote once that said something to the effect of: Guys want black and white and girls can only give grey. Please stop making this fucking true.
61. Don’t look for insults in everything we say to you.
If I say something to you, and it could possibly be interpreted multiple ways, I didn’t mean the one that pisses you off. Don’t look for insults in everything someone says to you.
62. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
We like to be wooed as well. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
63. Women change and men don’t.
Men fall for women and expect them never to change. But they do. Women fall for men and want to change them. But they dont.
64. We’ll probably go with the girl that jerks us around the least.
A little mystery & drawn-out flirting is good, but seriously, dont let it go on too long. Most guys are talking to more than one girl. Talking, not banging. And we’ll probably go with the one that jerks us around the least. Also when you asked what we’re thinking about & we say ‘nothing, we are not lying.
65. If we ask you to play a video game with us, that means we really like you.
If a man asks you to play a video game with him, and actually takes the time and patience to teach you how to play it, he really fucking likes you and wants to spend HOURS of quality time with you.
66. A man who treats waiters with respect is trustworthy.
A man who treats people who have lower status (e.g., waiters) with respect is trustworthy. A man who does not is not.
67. Men are actually very, very good listeners.
Men are actually very, very good listeners. We pay attention to what you actually say. If you say yes but you meant no, then the breakdown of communication is with you, not us. It’s really not our responsibility to learn what you really mean when you say something completely different.
68. We think in boxes.
Our manner of thinking is pretty different from women’s. The best analogy I have heard is that men think in boxes: If you want to talk about camping, we will take out the camping box; if you want to talk about houses, we put the camping box away and pull out the housing box. There is one box that has nothing in it and, if given the choice, that is the box we will go to every time and literally think about nothing. The nothing box is our favorite one.
69. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what we want to do
Just because we both have the day off doesnt mean we have to fill it with shit to do. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what I want to do.
70. Women are hornier than men.
You are hornier than us. Fuck what they told you. It’s true.
71. Never, ever call our penis ‘cute.’
Im surprised by the lack of penis knowledge most women possess, so here’s some information. 1. When we pee, it’s not this magical stream that starts and stops without dripping, and it doesn’t always shoot in a straight line. It can, and sometimes will, shoot out in multiple directions simultaneously at times. We’re not peeing on the seat on purpose, and it’s as frustrating to us as it is to you. 2. Like the joke by Dane Cook, our penis is kind of like an amoeba. It’s constantly changing shape, and you never really know what he’s going to look like at any given time. 3. To add on to the above post, let’s also talk about shrinkage. When we’re dehydrated, been swimming in the pool, or have just been generally very active, he’s going to be a shadow of himself when released to the world. We’re literally talking 1/3 to ¼ (sometimes even below) his full size. This is expected, but still a bit emasculating. Be an adult. 4. Never, ever, call him cute. Unless you want to talk about how big he is, don’t say a word.
72. We are much simpler than you think we are.
We are much simpler than you think we are. When you hear hoofbeats, think Horses, not Zebras.
73. We get annoyed when we find out you told your best friends our confidential secrets.
We get annoyed when we find out your best friends know everything about our relationship, including the secrets we told you in confidentiality.
74. GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT.
GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT. I cannot tell you how often it gets asked on Yik Yak at my university or I overhear girls deliberating over it with their friends if they can ask a guy out.
75. Don’t look for hidden meaning in what we say.
That men really don’t have anything behind what they’re saying. Like, if you’re going out to dinner and he says, That’s an interesting dress, literally he means it’s interesting. He doesn’t mean that it’s ugly, he doesn’t mean that you look fat, that your hair is ugly, that you have a nasty pimple on your chin, he really just thinks your dress is interesting. All the while you’re overanalyzing what he’s saying and thinking of 400 different meanings to what he said, he’s onto thinking about what he wants to eat at the restaurant.
76. When we say, I love you, we mean it.
When you say, I love you, I’m not always going to parrot it back. The reason is because love isn’t a Pavlovian response. When I say, I love you it is with thoughtful intent. I want my I love yous to have meaning.
77. Hints don’t work.
Hints don’t work. If you want something, ask for it. If you expect him to read your mind, you’re going to be disappointed a lot.
78. Don’t try to make us jealous.
Don’t try to make us jealous by pretending to like other guys. A lot of guys will just back off if they think you’re into someone else.
79. We listen to your problems so we can solve them.
If you ask us for advice, we will give you what we believe to be the best course of action. 90% of the time you will ignore us. 95% of the time you will think it’s stupid. But 99% of the time, it will be the simplest, most direct method to solve the problem. That’s what we do, we listen to your problems to solve them. It’s not what you want, but it’s what you get.
80. Don’t wait for us to initiate sex.
If you want to have sex, don’t wait for men to initiate. If a man always has to initiate into sex he will feel like you don’t want it and just do it because you make him feel good but don’t actually feel any pleasure yourself.
Also , when initiating, be pretty straightforward or use very obvious hints because we don’t get it. If you start touching a guy’s dick and he doesn’t understand that you want to have sex, yeah, that’s wrong. But if you give some sort of glance or just say something like, Oh, it’s been a long day and we’re supposed to work from there to understand that you want to have sex that’s not gonna work.
81. A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved.
A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved, not one who just gets loved.
82. Sometimes we just like to be alone.
Sometimes men just like to be alone; it’s not that we’re angry with you or ignoring you, we just like to be alone occasionally.
83. Don’t tell your friends about our sexual secrets.
If we tell you something about our sexual history or sexual predilections, it doesn’t mean we actually want to talk about or hear about it every time you think about it. We opened up enough to tell you some kooky, borderline stuff we did in the past; leave it alone, don’t bring it up, and definitely don’t bring it up lightly or use it as ammunition during an argument, and what’s more don’t tell your friends about it. This is personal stuff, and at some point grown-up relationships should be about integrity, mutual respect, and trusteven beyond the bounds of the relationship.
84. Give us feedback during sex.
Every vagina and their owner is different. Much like how every penis and their owner is different.
What may work for one, may not work for the other. So during sex, feel free to give feedback. Faster? Slower? Softer? Harder? Let us know what works, what doesn’t. Can we be doing things better? Tell us.
I dated one girl for over a year who told me she didn’t like how I fingered her. Seriously, she didn’t speak up about it for over a year because she felt awkward about it. So she essentially just wasted our time. If I am finger-banging or eating pussy, I’m not doing it for my sake. A little feedback and guidance isn’t going to kill my mood.
85. Constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes us wonder why we’re actually there.
Maybe it’s just me, but constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes me wonder why I’m actually there.
86. If you like a guy, tell him.
I don’t know if every guy would agree with this, but I don’t think it’s the rejection we’re afraid of. It’s the possibility of looking like some creep/loser if we ask you out and you say no. It’s the way you’ll see us from then on out that makes us afraid. The vulnerability. So honestly, if you like a guy, tell him. No guy should ever have a problem with a girl doing that; there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t make us have to go through the whole fear of asking you out if you already want to tell us yourself.
87. Don’t blame us for things we do in YOUR dreams.
Women of the world!!!!
Guys cannot cheat in your dreams!
Three times it happened with an ex of mine. Three times she awoke in a complete strop, of course being the ever caring SO at the time I ask what’s wrong.
Supposedly I cheated with her best friend three times in HER dreams and I’m the one to blame.
I never cheated and never thought of cheating.
88. We need time with our friends, too.
Just because I want to spend the rest of my life with you does not mean I can’t have time with friends. Time apart is sometimes just as important as time together.
89. We shut down because arguing isn’t worth it.
If we shut down or stop responding during an argument, it doesn’t mean we stopped caring about your feelings or that you aren’t worth talking to or that we’re ignoring you. It means we just don’t want to make the argument worse or last longer than it needs to, because chances are, the argument wasn’t worth the energy to begin with.
90. Fuck off with the hints.
Fuck off with the hints (both, the “blatantly obvious” and subtle). We prefer direct, clear communication. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
91. Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
92. Our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
When we’re spreading our legs, it’s most likely because our balls are uncomfortable. Side note, our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
93. We don’t get tired of your boobs.
We don’t get tired of your boobs. It’s a joy to see them literally every time. The same with touching them. You might not understand it…frankly, I don’t think we do, either. But for straight men, boobs are the physical embodiment of I’ve been with my SO for almost a decade and my eyes still up light every time. I’m not a very emotive person, but she’s noted my look of genuine happiness when I see them.
94. Don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends.
Two things: 1. Unless you have a specific reason, don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends. It can be a little insulting.2. Men are very literal. If we tell you we love you or that you’re beautiful, we tend to mean exactly that.
95. Even if you hit us playfully, it still hurts.
Just because a man is physically bigger than you doesn’t mean that punching, kicking, or slapping him doesn’t hurteven if it’s done playfully. We aren’t trees or rocks. Pain still hurts.
96. Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy.
Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy. I feel this goes both ways.
96. When we break up, please keep the jewelry we gave you.
When a breakup does happen don’t go trying to give back things we gave to you e.g., jewelry, etc. A) we find it hurtful, like there is no sentimental value to our time together. B) what am I gonna do with girls’ jewelry/stuff? C) it may just end up coming across like you are trying to intentionally cause us pain by giving such things back, like a reminder of your existence.
98. The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend “chasing” you.
The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend ‘chasing’ you. If I’m interested, and you’re interested, there should be no reason for you to still be playing hard to get and taking longer than two requests for your time to agree to a date. Either commit or tell me you’re not interested. I’m 30. Dating at this age consists of ‘Are we doing this or not? I got shit to do.’
99. If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions.
If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions. That is our way of showing that we have listened and that we care.
100. We don’t run the world.
There is a mountain of men that are really struggling. We don’t run the world. In fact, a very large percentage of us will kill ourselves. 79% of suicides are males (US). White males represent 70% of suicides overall.
And yet, not a single candidate seems to be expressing any desire to combat any of this. As have no candidates in decades.
The Men’s Rights movement is something that seems to piss off a lot of people. But this is one of our biggest concerns. Personally, I get very upset when I hear economically debunked wage gap lies perpetrated repeatedly, year-after-year. Wage gap. #HeForShe. #BringBackOurGirls. Mansplaining. Manspreading. Alarming rate of suicide in males? Crickets. Massively disproportionate rates of violent crime? BORING. Schoolboys being burned alive or forced into being child soldiers? #BringBackOurBoys? HA! More like #BringBackMyKardashians, am I right!?
There is a vast lack of perspective missing from today’s social justice warriors, corrupt politicians, and ideologues. Men are struggling. Boys are struggling. Worldwide, even.
Crickets.
In the past week, the woman who once claimed, Women have always been the primary victims of war made another sexist plea to further denigrate the worth of male life. In spite of the FACT that women receive 63% (SIXTY-THREE PERCENT) lighter sentences than men for the same crime if they are prosecuted at ALL, Hillary Clinton feels that the criminal justice system is unfair…to women. Because putting women in prison takes them away from their families. And, obviously, men being away from their families is no big deal.
Advocates for the acknowledgement of men’s issues do not hate you, women. But I do hate every last harpy that has shouted down people (men, women, trans alike) just trying to speak about men’s struggles. I do hate the COUNTLESS not-true feminists I see littering Twitter with continued attempts to minimize men’s issues, or proudly posting their #MaleTears selfies. I DON’T hate, but proudly champion, the amazing women that ARE trying to bring light to these issues. The kinds of women who DON’T just sit there when their friends are all joking about how men are worthless or only good for one thing (thanks, wife, for calling out double standards).
And that’s why I don’t hate women. Like most MRAs. We love women. We’ve most likely been raised by amazing women, grown up with them as siblings, dated and married them. There are mountains of you that are NOT the problem. But we need your help. We need your cooperation and insistence on fact-based politics, not gender-based. The wage gap continues to be an issue liberal candidates will espouse, in the face of economic and statistical proof to the illegitimacy of the argument, simply because a large percentage of people seem to want to hear it. There is a race, it seems, to victimhood. Who am I to judge most things, but I feel fairly confident in saying that the prevention of male suicide and homelessness deserves more of our airtime, advertising, outreach, and funding than a wage gap myth that is repeatedly debunked under the slightest bit of academic scrutiny (or at the very least, reduced to a range that is within a standard margin of error).
This simple belief will undoubtedly be met with shouts of misogyny. I am a misogynist simply for prioritizing a concrete, factual narrative that prioritizes a life-and-death issue.

100 Things All Women Need To Know About Men (According to 100 Men)
Found on AskReddit.
1. Men aren’t mind readers.
Men arent mind readers…if you want something, be direct.
2. Guys are shy, too.
Guys are shy, too. Don’t be afraid to walk up and talk.
3. Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
4. If you want a ‘bad boy,’ expect to be treated badly.
Don’t tell me you don’t like me because I’m a ‘nice guy’ and that most girls like ‘bad boys, and then come looking for a shoulder to cry on when he cheats on you or treats you like shit. Instead, go fuck yourself. I don’t care, because you got what you deserved. Next time, try looking for someone who cares about you, even if they’re ‘too nice.
5. It’s not OK to physically assault men, period.
It’s not OK to physically assault men, period. It doesn’t matter how small you are and how big the guy is. If you don’t disagree, walk away, voice your concern, or speak to the law.
6. We are just as emotionally complex as women are.
Men’s emotional lives are, pretty much across the board, just as complex and nuanced as women’s.
Also, there’s a whole ecosystem of subtle communication, competition, and one-upmanship between men (think Alpha/Beta but way more complicated) that is probably largely invisible to you.
We’ve had to navigate through it all our whole lives and sometimes it stinks.
7. Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too.
Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too; even just minor ones feel nice.
8. We are not machines. We are human, too.
We are not machines. We get sick. We can cry. We can be goofy or funny. We can be weak or scared. We can go limp. We can complain. We can be nice and sweet. Don’t make men out to be machismo meatheads who just walk around looking for sex and expect us to always be strong and confident and take charge on every single little thing. We are human, too. It’s not bad to be a nice guy.
9. Some of us actually are hopeless romantics.
That some of us actually are hopeless romantics. We want to find true love, too. Even then we will still make mistakes. Some of us it will be really stupid and think that we want different women just because that’s the way we are programmed. And sometimes it takes something big to make us realize that’s not what we want.
10. You shouldnt smack us down for showing emotions.
“ If we open up to you, let us do it instead of smacking us down for being emotional, you’ll have a friend for life.
Don’t assume what movies teach about men is at all accurate; seriously, my last girlfriend did and was perpetually worried I’d cheat even though I find the concept abhorrent.
If we’re quiet, it means we’re thinking, not angry.
We have a strong desire to protect the women in our life, whether that be our wife, our sister, or our grandmother even. We do get overprotective due to an admittedly over-reliance on our gut feelings, and we’re aware it’s annoying you, but humor us and you may be surprised with the results.
A mans younger siblings are extremely important; do not insult them if you want us to stay. Talking from experience here.
We worry over our bodies constantly, media bombards us with an ideal you have to work for years to attain and keep, similar to women, let us talk about it if we need to.
I’ll say it again: IF WE OPEN UP TO YOU, LET US!!! DON’T FUCKING SMACK US DOWN FOR BEING EMOTIONAL OR UNMANLY FFS.
11. Rom-coms don’t work in real life.
You know those movies where the woman is unpredictable, annoying, and generally crazy, but the man she is after falls in love with her anyway? That doesn’t work in real life. Seriously.
12. Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis.
Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis. It’s not a fucking game; sometimes shrinkage happens, sometimes I’m just not in the mood. I know that it’s just a game to you, but for us it’s a really big deal. Don’t know why, don’t care why, it just is.
13. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, so I won’t treat you like a princess.
No I won’t treat you like a princess. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, I’m looking for a life partner. My equal.
14. If you keep asking whether we’re angry with you, eventually we will be.
On disagreements: Sometimes a man will disagree with you. He has reasons for it. If you present an argument, and he abruptly says OK, fine, it means you have convinced him. It probably does not mean he’s angry with you. If you then ask, Are you angry at me? and he says no, he isn’t. But if you keep asking, then eventually he will be. Or maybe it’s just me.
15. Don’t use sex as a weapon.
If you weaponize sex, that’s a quick way for us to resent you. And of course if you do not want to do it you should not, but if you treat sex like it is some kind of privilege that your guy should only get it if he has been a good boy and treat it like a reward rather than a romantic and intimate activity that is equally pleasurable for the both of you, then that is a great way to kill any affection your guy has for you.
16. We are afraid of rejection.
Fear of rejection can be downright terrifying. I am lucky that my wife was direct and asked me out.
17. Give us the benefit of the doubt.
Unless we’re fighting, when we say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of the options is bad, we meant the good one.
18. We don’t think about sex every seven seconds.
Men don’t think about sex every 7 seconds. I read this from some womens magazine whilst waiting in the dentist’s office. These womens magazines perception of men is ridiculous.
19. Just say, ‘Sorry, no thanks’ if you don’t want to go out with us.
My deal is, if I ask a girl out and she’s not interested, saying, Sorry, no thanks or a variation thereof is perfectly acceptable. I’ll be more than happy to move the fuck on.
20. Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our minds.
Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our mind. You might think we’re having doubts about all this and things are going to shit so you start acting like it and then it gets all messed up and it’s over. The truth is we’re probably just thinking about the last episode of or something like that. If you want to know, ask!
21. Nonsense behavior will cause us to pull back.
We’re perfectly willing to invest, but nonsense behavior will, little by little, cause us to disinvest. That time you said you were upset and when I asked why, you said, Guess?I pulled back a little. When you started crying instead of articulating your feelings? I pulled back a little. When you developed double standards regarding behaviors that are okay for you but NOT for me? I pulled back A LOT.
22. Do not belittle our cocks.
Unless the guy is super hung, any insinuation that his cock is even a little less than ideal in terms of size hurts a lot. Even some hung guys actually feel like their cock is too small.
23. Say what you mean.
If you say something we’re most likely going to take it at face value.
Example:
Guy: Hey babe I’m going to go play cards at Zach’s tonight is that all right?
Girl: Yeah, that’s fine, stay out all night, I’m going to bed anyway.
Guy:
The guy was giving her the option to keep him home and she told him she was fine with it and she was tired.
24. Mean what you say.
This game of know what I want without me telling you bullshit has got to stop. I’m not a fuckin mind reader. I’m not in a relationship/marriage to play mind games. Tell me what’s on your mind or how you really feel, the guessing games must end. Alternatively, if you would rather me not do something, don’t tell me, ‘No, go ahead it’s fine,’ than get pissed when I do it. Just tell me you’d rather me not.
25. Stop hinting and just tell us what you want.
Your hints are useless. Say what you want. Also, when we pee sometimes we still get some on the floor. Even as adults.
26. If you want to see us happy, just get naked.
Trust me, when a woman is naked, 99% of the time we are happy beyond compare. No matter what you think you look like.
27. If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex.
If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex. If youre just going to lie there like a rag doll while we hump away, it gets boring real quick. Fuck, I could go service myself twice as fast with half the exertion if thats all its about. And on a related note, dont take masturbation personally. Its a literal physical need for men. Imagine walking around for a week with loaded sinuses and being told not to blow your nose. Thats literally how it feels down there when we’re backed up. Let us relieve a little pressure and get off our fucking backs. Its not about you.
28. If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you.
If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you. If you are getting a lot of maybes and excuses, just move on.
29. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
When a guy is constantly doing all the initiating, all of the oral, and all of the work with no reciprocation, don’t act surprised when he stops calling. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
I’ve heard a lot of, Well, I do a lot! Like x, y, and z! Just because it isn’t in the bedroom doesn’t mean it doesn’t count! Yes. Yes, it does mean it doesn’t count when we’re talking about sex. Doing nice things outside the bedroom doesn’t translate into appreciation for what you’re receiving inside the bedroom.
It’s like giving a dog a treat three days after he brings you the paper. How’s he know WTF you just gave him a treat for?
30. Bars aren’t the best place to meet the best guys.
There exist men willing to have serious relationships with youbut those men probably don’t spend their time at bars chatting you up the first time you glance in their direction.
31. Sometimes we just like to hold our balls.
Sometimes, when we’re on the couch, we just like to hold our balls. We’re not sexually aroused, we just like to hold them and know they are there.
32. If you routinely slap your man’s hand away, don’t be surprised if he stops reaching.
If you routinely slap your man’s hand away when he reaches for sex…don’t be surprised if he gets the point and stops reaching.
33. We quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings.
Assuming you’re dealing with a normal male, what we say is what we mean, and what we mean is what we say. Any hidden meanings are a fiction invented by you; we don’t use that channel to communicate.
Conversely, do not use obfuscated communication methods with men for important topics; the odds of us missing or misinterpreting such a communication are high.
Do not talk about problems unless you are prepared to discuss the solution.
If we say we don’t care, we don’t. Especially as regards what we eat. If we say we don’t care, we’re not saying we don’t care who we eat with or whether we’ll eat, only that we don’t care we eat or we eat.
We’re generally shit at going to the doctors or dentists. Even in countries where healthcare is free. Remind us to check for cancer from time to time, or do it for us where possible/appropriate.
Our emotions tend to build up over time, as we quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings. Fortunately, they also fade over time without any obvious outlets, so only sustained angst or serious trauma will have a long-lasting effect.
34. Don’t be nice when rejecting us.
Don’t be nice when rejecting someone. I’m a grown adult and can handle being told no. Just the other day I asked a girl what her plans were Friday and I got a I work all weekend because it’s graduation weekend, but maybe next time!
That could be a hint or genuine statement. Don’t leave shit up in the air, just be straight with us because for the love of god MEN CANNOT READ WOMENS MINDS.
P.S. If you get mad at me for something I did in a dream (I thought people joked about this until it happened to me), I now think youre batshit insane and rule number one is never stick your dick in crazy.
35. We love your big butt in those jeans.
Your butt looks big in those jeans, and we fuckin love it.
36. We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound.
We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound. Omg, i love your shirt! You are soooo. Funny!
37. Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you.
Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you. It makes things a lot easier than saying, Oh, sorry I cant make it my grandma died…my dog is sick…I have to do XYZ. Its a shitty hint, especially after having a seemingly engaging string of conversations.
38. A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
39. Ignore all romantic advice from rom-coms.
Every piece of romantic advice you’ve gotten from a rom-com should be jettisoned as fast as possible. Hard to get does not work. Subtle hints are not going to be picked up on. There is no minimum waiting period for replying to texts, agreeing to a second date, resuming communicationanything. Put your cards on the table and be upfront. Men don’t hate a woman who says no; if anything, most men will be grateful that they can just move on. The happiest relationship I’ve ever been in began in one whirlwind night: We went from first date to drinks after to apartment in a single evening. I’m going to marry her once my bank balance has room for a ring in it.
40. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language.
Men are not fucking mind readers. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language. We play draughts, not chess.
41. Men don’t drop subtle hints.
When I ask, Do you know where the remote is?, I am not asking you to look for the remote. When I ask, Is this basket of laundry clean or dirty?, I am not asking you to do the laundry. When I say, We’re all out of milk, I am not asking you to drop everything and go shopping. For fuck’s sake, I’m just trying to exchange information with you. I’m not trying to drop subtle hints that I am unhappy and need you to do something, my God.
42. Please respect our privacy.
Oh yes, another thing: If I tell you, Please respect our privacy, what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom, and you turn around and tell all your friends…I will be upset and the relationship will probably not last.
43. If you say, ‘Nothing’s wrong,’ we will believe you.
If we ask, What’s wrong? and you answer, Nothing, we will behave exactly as if everything is OK.
44. Don’t try to make us jealous by talking about other guys.
Mentioning how many guys are going for you/chasing you doesn’t create the narrative of, Oh damn, she’s a hot commodity, better try harder. Instead its, Fuck, chasing her seems like it would be a lot of drama, better skip this one.
45. We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
46. All men are different and they should be treated as such.
All men are different and they should be treated as such.
47. If you want us to do something, expect that we’ll do it our way.
If you want me to do something, expect that I’ll do it my way. If you want something done your way, you fuckin do it. This is the price of delegation.
48. We’re not always in the mood for sex.
Just because we can’t get an erection at a given moment, that doesn’t mean we’re not into you or that we don’t want to have sex. It’s not that simple.
49. If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you.
If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you. A self-deprecating joke about how we’re wrong is rarely charming.
50. We’re not interested in playing stupid games.
We can see through the Im fine bullshit. But if you say it three times, we’re going to let it go. It’s not because we aren’t aware it’s bullshit, and it’s not because we don’t careit’s because we’re not interested in playing stupid games.
51. If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends.
If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends. And it goes both ways.
52. Just tell us what you want to eat!
What do you want to eat. pls.
53. If you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
Most of us don’t get subtle hints; if you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
54. We can’t always tell when you’re flirting.
Don’t forget that one woman’s subtle hint’ is another woman’s ‘What? Are you kidding? I was fixing my hair, not flirting, you creep.
55. Your enthusiasm is what makes sex good for us.
What makes sex good? One thing more than anything. ENTHUSIASM. It doesn’t matter how hot you are if I’m banging you and you seem bored. Or if the BJ is like a chore or something. Nothing kills the mood quicker.
56. We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING.
We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING. No thought, no music in our head, just nothing. Complete silence in our head. It’s so calming and relaxing.
57. If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
58. We can’t predict when you’re going to act like an evil gremlin.
Ive never owned a gremlin, so please don’t expect me to understand your feeding patterns and be able to predict when you’re going to become an evil monster because all you’ve eaten was some Melba toast 12 hours ago.
59. Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us.
Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us. It’s called Creep and encompasses Not my type to Level 3 sex offender and everything in between. It’s vastly subjective, applied liberally with very broad brushstrokes, and can occur with something as simple as looking past you to the beer menu and occasionally crossing glances. The majority of guys would really only like to: a) talk like adults, b) ask you to please step aside so we can get to the bartender, or c) continue being subconsciously aware of your existence but actively thinking about nothing. Indifference, the ultimate villainy.
60. We want black and white, so stop giving us grey.
I read a quote once that said something to the effect of: Guys want black and white and girls can only give grey. Please stop making this fucking true.
61. Don’t look for insults in everything we say to you.
If I say something to you, and it could possibly be interpreted multiple ways, I didn’t mean the one that pisses you off. Don’t look for insults in everything someone says to you.
62. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
We like to be wooed as well. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
63. Women change and men don’t.
Men fall for women and expect them never to change. But they do. Women fall for men and want to change them. But they dont.
64. We’ll probably go with the girl that jerks us around the least.
A little mystery & drawn-out flirting is good, but seriously, dont let it go on too long. Most guys are talking to more than one girl. Talking, not banging. And we’ll probably go with the one that jerks us around the least. Also when you asked what we’re thinking about & we say ‘nothing, we are not lying.
65. If we ask you to play a video game with us, that means we really like you.
If a man asks you to play a video game with him, and actually takes the time and patience to teach you how to play it, he really fucking likes you and wants to spend HOURS of quality time with you.
66. A man who treats waiters with respect is trustworthy.
A man who treats people who have lower status (e.g., waiters) with respect is trustworthy. A man who does not is not.
67. Men are actually very, very good listeners.
Men are actually very, very good listeners. We pay attention to what you actually say. If you say yes but you meant no, then the breakdown of communication is with you, not us. It’s really not our responsibility to learn what you really mean when you say something completely different.
68. We think in boxes.
Our manner of thinking is pretty different from women’s. The best analogy I have heard is that men think in boxes: If you want to talk about camping, we will take out the camping box; if you want to talk about houses, we put the camping box away and pull out the housing box. There is one box that has nothing in it and, if given the choice, that is the box we will go to every time and literally think about nothing. The nothing box is our favorite one.
69. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what we want to do
Just because we both have the day off doesnt mean we have to fill it with shit to do. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what I want to do.
70. Women are hornier than men.
You are hornier than us. Fuck what they told you. It’s true.
71. Never, ever call our penis ‘cute.’
Im surprised by the lack of penis knowledge most women possess, so here’s some information. 1. When we pee, it’s not this magical stream that starts and stops without dripping, and it doesn’t always shoot in a straight line. It can, and sometimes will, shoot out in multiple directions simultaneously at times. We’re not peeing on the seat on purpose, and it’s as frustrating to us as it is to you. 2. Like the joke by Dane Cook, our penis is kind of like an amoeba. It’s constantly changing shape, and you never really know what he’s going to look like at any given time. 3. To add on to the above post, let’s also talk about shrinkage. When we’re dehydrated, been swimming in the pool, or have just been generally very active, he’s going to be a shadow of himself when released to the world. We’re literally talking 1/3 to 1/4 (sometimes even below) his full size. This is expected, but still a bit emasculating. Be an adult. 4. Never, ever, call him cute. Unless you want to talk about how big he is, don’t say a word.
72. We are much simpler than you think we are.
We are much simpler than you think we are. When you hear hoofbeats, think Horses, not Zebras.
73. We get annoyed when we find out you told your best friends our confidential secrets.
We get annoyed when we find out your best friends know everything about our relationship, including the secrets we told you in confidentiality.
74. GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT.
GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT. I cannot tell you how often it gets asked on Yik Yak at my university or I overhear girls deliberating over it with their friends if they can ask a guy out.
75. Don’t look for hidden meaning in what we say.
That men really don’t have anything behind what they’re saying. Like, if you’re going out to dinner and he says, That’s an interesting dress, literally he means it’s interesting. He doesn’t mean that it’s ugly, he doesn’t mean that you look fat, that your hair is ugly, that you have a nasty pimple on your chin, he really just thinks your dress is interesting. All the while you’re overanalyzing what he’s saying and thinking of 400 different meanings to what he said, he’s onto thinking about what he wants to eat at the restaurant.
76. When we say, I love you, we mean it.
When you say, I love you, I’m not always going to parrot it back. The reason is because love isn’t a Pavlovian response. When I say, I love you it is with thoughtful intent. I want my I love yous to have meaning.
77. Hints don’t work.
Hints don’t work. If you want something, ask for it. If you expect him to read your mind, you’re going to be disappointed a lot.
78. Don’t try to make us jealous.
Don’t try to make us jealous by pretending to like other guys. A lot of guys will just back off if they think you’re into someone else.
79. We listen to your problems so we can solve them.
If you ask us for advice, we will give you what we believe to be the best course of action. 90% of the time you will ignore us. 95% of the time you will think it’s stupid. But 99% of the time, it will be the simplest, most direct method to solve the problem. That’s what we do, we listen to your problems to solve them. It’s not what you want, but it’s what you get.
80. Don’t wait for us to initiate sex.
If you want to have sex, don’t wait for men to initiate. If a man always has to initiate into sex he will feel like you don’t want it and just do it because you make him feel good but don’t actually feel any pleasure yourself.
Also , when initiating, be pretty straightforward or use very obvious hints because we don’t get it. If you start touching a guy’s dick and he doesn’t understand that you want to have sex, yeah, that’s wrong. But if you give some sort of glance or just say something like, Oh, it’s been a long day and we’re supposed to work from there to understand that you want to have sex that’s not gonna work.
81. A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved.
A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved, not one who just gets loved.
82. Sometimes we just like to be alone.
Sometimes men just like to be alone; it’s not that we’re angry with you or ignoring you, we just like to be alone occasionally.
83. Don’t tell your friends about our sexual secrets.
If we tell you something about our sexual history or sexual predilections, it doesn’t mean we actually want to talk about or hear about it every time you think about it. We opened up enough to tell you some kooky, borderline stuff we did in the past; leave it alone, don’t bring it up, and definitely don’t bring it up lightly or use it as ammunition during an argument, and what’s more don’t tell your friends about it. This is personal stuff, and at some point grown-up relationships should be about integrity, mutual respect, and trusteven beyond the bounds of the relationship.
84. Give us feedback during sex.
Every vagina and their owner is different. Much like how every penis and their owner is different.
What may work for one, may not work for the other. So during sex, feel free to give feedback. Faster? Slower? Softer? Harder? Let us know what works, what doesn’t. Can we be doing things better? Tell us.
I dated one girl for over a year who told me she didn’t like how I fingered her. Seriously, she didn’t speak up about it for over a year because she felt awkward about it. So she essentially just wasted our time. If I am finger-banging or eating pussy, I’m not doing it for my sake. A little feedback and guidance isn’t going to kill my mood.
85. Constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes us wonder why we’re actually there.
Maybe it’s just me, but constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes me wonder why I’m actually there.
86. If you like a guy, tell him.
I don’t know if every guy would agree with this, but I don’t think it’s the rejection we’re afraid of. It’s the possibility of looking like some creep/loser if we ask you out and you say no. It’s the way you’ll see us from then on out that makes us afraid. The vulnerability. So honestly, if you like a guy, tell him. No guy should ever have a problem with a girl doing that; there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t make us have to go through the whole fear of asking you out if you already want to tell us yourself.
87. Don’t blame us for things we do in YOUR dreams.
Women of the world!!!!
Guys cannot cheat in your dreams!
Three times it happened with an ex of mine. Three times she awoke in a complete strop, of course being the ever caring SO at the time I ask what’s wrong.
Supposedly I cheated with her best friend three times in HER dreams and I’m the one to blame.
I never cheated and never thought of cheating.
88. We need time with our friends, too.
Just because I want to spend the rest of my life with you does not mean I can’t have time with friends. Time apart is sometimes just as important as time together.
89. We shut down because arguing isn’t worth it.
If we shut down or stop responding during an argument, it doesn’t mean we stopped caring about your feelings or that you aren’t worth talking to or that we’re ignoring you. It means we just don’t want to make the argument worse or last longer than it needs to, because chances are, the argument wasn’t worth the energy to begin with.
90. Fuck off with the hints.
Fuck off with the hints (both, the “blatantly obvious” and subtle). We prefer direct, clear communication. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
91. Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
92. Our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
When we’re spreading our legs, it’s most likely because our balls are uncomfortable. Side note, our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
93. We don’t get tired of your boobs.
We don’t get tired of your boobs. It’s a joy to see them literally every time. The same with touching them. You might not understand it…frankly, I don’t think we do, either. But for straight men, boobs are the physical embodiment of I’ve been with my SO for almost a decade and my eyes still up light every time. I’m not a very emotive person, but she’s noted my look of genuine happiness when I see them.
94. Don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends.
Two things: 1. Unless you have a specific reason, don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends. It can be a little insulting.2. Men are very literal. If we tell you we love you or that you’re beautiful, we tend to mean exactly that.
95. Even if you hit us playfully, it still hurts.
Just because a man is physically bigger than you doesn’t mean that punching, kicking, or slapping him doesn’t hurteven if it’s done playfully. We aren’t trees or rocks. Pain still hurts.
96. Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy.
Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy. I feel this goes both ways.
96. When we break up, please keep the jewelry we gave you.
When a breakup does happen don’t go trying to give back things we gave to you e.g., jewelry, etc. A) we find it hurtful, like there is no sentimental value to our time together. B) what am I gonna do with girls’ jewelry/stuff? C) it may just end up coming across like you are trying to intentionally cause us pain by giving such things back, like a reminder of your existence.
98. The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend “chasing” you.
The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend ‘chasing’ you. If I’m interested, and you’re interested, there should be no reason for you to still be playing hard to get and taking longer than two requests for your time to agree to a date. Either commit or tell me you’re not interested. I’m 30. Dating at this age consists of ‘Are we doing this or not? I got shit to do.’
99. If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions.
If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions. That is our way of showing that we have listened and that we care.
100. We don’t run the world.
There is a mountain of men that are really struggling. We don’t run the world. In fact, a very large percentage of us will kill ourselves. 79% of suicides are males (US). White males represent 70% of suicides overall.
And yet, not a single candidate seems to be expressing any desire to combat any of this. As have no candidates in decades.
The Men’s Rights movement is something that seems to piss off a lot of people. But this is one of our biggest concerns. Personally, I get very upset when I hear economically debunked wage gap lies perpetrated repeatedly, year-after-year. Wage gap. #HeForShe. #BringBackOurGirls. Mansplaining. Manspreading. Alarming rate of suicide in males? Crickets. Massively disproportionate rates of violent crime? BORING. Schoolboys being burned alive or forced into being child soldiers? #BringBackOurBoys? HA! More like #BringBackMyKardashians, am I right!?
There is a vast lack of perspective missing from today’s social justice warriors, corrupt politicians, and ideologues. Men are struggling. Boys are struggling. Worldwide, even.
Crickets.
In the past week, the woman who once claimed, Women have always been the primary victims of war made another sexist plea to further denigrate the worth of male life. In spite of the FACT that women receive 63% (SIXTY-THREE PERCENT) lighter sentences than men for the same crime if they are prosecuted at ALL, Hillary Clinton feels that the criminal justice system is unfair…to women. Because putting women in prison takes them away from their families. And, obviously, men being away from their families is no big deal.
Advocates for the acknowledgement of men’s issues do not hate you, women. But I do hate every last harpy that has shouted down people (men, women, trans alike) just trying to speak about men’s struggles. I do hate the COUNTLESS not-true feminists I see littering Twitter with continued attempts to minimize men’s issues, or proudly posting their #MaleTears selfies. I DON’T hate, but proudly champion, the amazing women that ARE trying to bring light to these issues. The kinds of women who DON’T just sit there when their friends are all joking about how men are worthless or only good for one thing (thanks, wife, for calling out double standards).
And that’s why I don’t hate women. Like most MRAs. We love women. We’ve most likely been raised by amazing women, grown up with them as siblings, dated and married them. There are mountains of you that are NOT the problem. But we need your help. We need your cooperation and insistence on fact-based politics, not gender-based. The wage gap continues to be an issue liberal candidates will espouse, in the face of economic and statistical proof to the illegitimacy of the argument, simply because a large percentage of people seem to want to hear it. There is a race, it seems, to victimhood. Who am I to judge most things, but I feel fairly confident in saying that the prevention of male suicide and homelessness deserves more of our airtime, advertising, outreach, and funding than a wage gap myth that is repeatedly debunked under the slightest bit of academic scrutiny (or at the very least, reduced to a range that is within a standard margin of error).
This simple belief will undoubtedly be met with shouts of misogyny. I am a misogynist simply for prioritizing a concrete, factual narrative that prioritizes a life-and-death issue.

100 Things All Women Need To Know About Men (According to 100 Men)
Found on AskReddit.
1. Men aren’t mind readers.
Men arent mind readers…if you want something, be direct.
2. Guys are shy, too.
Guys are shy, too. Don’t be afraid to walk up and talk.
3. Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
Not all men are rapists and sometimes a compliment really is just a compliment.
4. If you want a ‘bad boy,’ expect to be treated badly.
Don’t tell me you don’t like me because I’m a ‘nice guy’ and that most girls like ‘bad boys, and then come looking for a shoulder to cry on when he cheats on you or treats you like shit. Instead, go fuck yourself. I don’t care, because you got what you deserved. Next time, try looking for someone who cares about you, even if they’re ‘too nice.
5. It’s not OK to physically assault men, period.
It’s not OK to physically assault men, period. It doesn’t matter how small you are and how big the guy is. If you don’t disagree, walk away, voice your concern, or speak to the law.
6. We are just as emotionally complex as women are.
Men’s emotional lives are, pretty much across the board, just as complex and nuanced as women’s.
Also, there’s a whole ecosystem of subtle communication, competition, and one-upmanship between men (think Alpha/Beta but way more complicated) that is probably largely invisible to you.
We’ve had to navigate through it all our whole lives and sometimes it stinks.
7. Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too.
Guys like getting compliments about their appearance, too; even just minor ones feel nice.
8. We are not machines. We are human, too.
We are not machines. We get sick. We can cry. We can be goofy or funny. We can be weak or scared. We can go limp. We can complain. We can be nice and sweet. Don’t make men out to be machismo meatheads who just walk around looking for sex and expect us to always be strong and confident and take charge on every single little thing. We are human, too. It’s not bad to be a nice guy.
9. Some of us actually are hopeless romantics.
That some of us actually are hopeless romantics. We want to find true love, too. Even then we will still make mistakes. Some of us it will be really stupid and think that we want different women just because that’s the way we are programmed. And sometimes it takes something big to make us realize that’s not what we want.
10. You shouldnt smack us down for showing emotions.
“ If we open up to you, let us do it instead of smacking us down for being emotional, you’ll have a friend for life.
Don’t assume what movies teach about men is at all accurate; seriously, my last girlfriend did and was perpetually worried I’d cheat even though I find the concept abhorrent.
If we’re quiet, it means we’re thinking, not angry.
We have a strong desire to protect the women in our life, whether that be our wife, our sister, or our grandmother even. We do get overprotective due to an admittedly over-reliance on our gut feelings, and we’re aware it’s annoying you, but humor us and you may be surprised with the results.
A mans younger siblings are extremely important; do not insult them if you want us to stay. Talking from experience here.
We worry over our bodies constantly, media bombards us with an ideal you have to work for years to attain and keep, similar to women, let us talk about it if we need to.
I’ll say it again: IF WE OPEN UP TO YOU, LET US!!! DON’T FUCKING SMACK US DOWN FOR BEING EMOTIONAL OR UNMANLY FFS.
11. Rom-coms don’t work in real life.
You know those movies where the woman is unpredictable, annoying, and generally crazy, but the man she is after falls in love with her anyway? That doesn’t work in real life. Seriously.
12. Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis.
Never, ever, EVER make fun of a man’s penis. It’s not a fucking game; sometimes shrinkage happens, sometimes I’m just not in the mood. I know that it’s just a game to you, but for us it’s a really big deal. Don’t know why, don’t care why, it just is.
13. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, so I won’t treat you like a princess.
No I won’t treat you like a princess. I’m not inheriting a kingdom, I’m looking for a life partner. My equal.
14. If you keep asking whether we’re angry with you, eventually we will be.
On disagreements: Sometimes a man will disagree with you. He has reasons for it. If you present an argument, and he abruptly says OK, fine, it means you have convinced him. It probably does not mean he’s angry with you. If you then ask, Are you angry at me? and he says no, he isn’t. But if you keep asking, then eventually he will be. Or maybe it’s just me.
15. Don’t use sex as a weapon.
If you weaponize sex, that’s a quick way for us to resent you. And of course if you do not want to do it you should not, but if you treat sex like it is some kind of privilege that your guy should only get it if he has been a good boy and treat it like a reward rather than a romantic and intimate activity that is equally pleasurable for the both of you, then that is a great way to kill any affection your guy has for you.
16. We are afraid of rejection.
Fear of rejection can be downright terrifying. I am lucky that my wife was direct and asked me out.
17. Give us the benefit of the doubt.
Unless we’re fighting, when we say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of the options is bad, we meant the good one.
18. We don’t think about sex every seven seconds.
Men don’t think about sex every 7 seconds. I read this from some womens magazine whilst waiting in the dentist’s office. These womens magazines perception of men is ridiculous.
19. Just say, ‘Sorry, no thanks’ if you don’t want to go out with us.
My deal is, if I ask a girl out and she’s not interested, saying, Sorry, no thanks or a variation thereof is perfectly acceptable. I’ll be more than happy to move the fuck on.
20. Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our minds.
Don’t ever assume what’s going on in our mind. You might think we’re having doubts about all this and things are going to shit so you start acting like it and then it gets all messed up and it’s over. The truth is we’re probably just thinking about the last episode of or something like that. If you want to know, ask!
21. Nonsense behavior will cause us to pull back.
We’re perfectly willing to invest, but nonsense behavior will, little by little, cause us to disinvest. That time you said you were upset and when I asked why, you said, Guess?I pulled back a little. When you started crying instead of articulating your feelings? I pulled back a little. When you developed double standards regarding behaviors that are okay for you but NOT for me? I pulled back A LOT.
22. Do not belittle our cocks.
Unless the guy is super hung, any insinuation that his cock is even a little less than ideal in terms of size hurts a lot. Even some hung guys actually feel like their cock is too small.
23. Say what you mean.
If you say something we’re most likely going to take it at face value.
Example:
Guy: Hey babe I’m going to go play cards at Zach’s tonight is that all right?
Girl: Yeah, that’s fine, stay out all night, I’m going to bed anyway.
Guy:
The guy was giving her the option to keep him home and she told him she was fine with it and she was tired.
24. Mean what you say.
This game of know what I want without me telling you bullshit has got to stop. I’m not a fuckin mind reader. I’m not in a relationship/marriage to play mind games. Tell me what’s on your mind or how you really feel, the guessing games must end. Alternatively, if you would rather me not do something, don’t tell me, ‘No, go ahead it’s fine,’ than get pissed when I do it. Just tell me you’d rather me not.
25. Stop hinting and just tell us what you want.
Your hints are useless. Say what you want. Also, when we pee sometimes we still get some on the floor. Even as adults.
26. If you want to see us happy, just get naked.
Trust me, when a woman is naked, 99% of the time we are happy beyond compare. No matter what you think you look like.
27. If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex.
If youre not interested in the sex, were not interested in the sex. If youre just going to lie there like a rag doll while we hump away, it gets boring real quick. Fuck, I could go service myself twice as fast with half the exertion if thats all its about. And on a related note, dont take masturbation personally. Its a literal physical need for men. Imagine walking around for a week with loaded sinuses and being told not to blow your nose. Thats literally how it feels down there when we’re backed up. Let us relieve a little pressure and get off our fucking backs. Its not about you.
28. If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you.
If a guy likes you a lot, he will make time for you. If you are getting a lot of maybes and excuses, just move on.
29. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
When a guy is constantly doing all the initiating, all of the oral, and all of the work with no reciprocation, don’t act surprised when he stops calling. It doesn’t feel good to have a partner that does nothing but take.
I’ve heard a lot of, Well, I do a lot! Like x, y, and z! Just because it isn’t in the bedroom doesn’t mean it doesn’t count! Yes. Yes, it does mean it doesn’t count when we’re talking about sex. Doing nice things outside the bedroom doesn’t translate into appreciation for what you’re receiving inside the bedroom.
It’s like giving a dog a treat three days after he brings you the paper. How’s he know WTF you just gave him a treat for?
30. Bars aren’t the best place to meet the best guys.
There exist men willing to have serious relationships with youbut those men probably don’t spend their time at bars chatting you up the first time you glance in their direction.
31. Sometimes we just like to hold our balls.
Sometimes, when we’re on the couch, we just like to hold our balls. We’re not sexually aroused, we just like to hold them and know they are there.
32. If you routinely slap your man’s hand away, don’t be surprised if he stops reaching.
If you routinely slap your man’s hand away when he reaches for sex…don’t be surprised if he gets the point and stops reaching.
33. We quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings.
Assuming you’re dealing with a normal male, what we say is what we mean, and what we mean is what we say. Any hidden meanings are a fiction invented by you; we don’t use that channel to communicate.
Conversely, do not use obfuscated communication methods with men for important topics; the odds of us missing or misinterpreting such a communication are high.
Do not talk about problems unless you are prepared to discuss the solution.
If we say we don’t care, we don’t. Especially as regards what we eat. If we say we don’t care, we’re not saying we don’t care who we eat with or whether we’ll eat, only that we don’t care we eat or we eat.
We’re generally shit at going to the doctors or dentists. Even in countries where healthcare is free. Remind us to check for cancer from time to time, or do it for us where possible/appropriate.
Our emotions tend to build up over time, as we quite often lack the emotional intelligence or desire to articulate our feelings. Fortunately, they also fade over time without any obvious outlets, so only sustained angst or serious trauma will have a long-lasting effect.
34. Don’t be nice when rejecting us.
Don’t be nice when rejecting someone. I’m a grown adult and can handle being told no. Just the other day I asked a girl what her plans were Friday and I got a I work all weekend because it’s graduation weekend, but maybe next time!
That could be a hint or genuine statement. Don’t leave shit up in the air, just be straight with us because for the love of god MEN CANNOT READ WOMENS MINDS.
P.S. If you get mad at me for something I did in a dream (I thought people joked about this until it happened to me), I now think youre batshit insane and rule number one is never stick your dick in crazy.
35. We love your big butt in those jeans.
Your butt looks big in those jeans, and we fuckin love it.
36. We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound.
We pretend not to notice how fake your compliments sound. Omg, i love your shirt! You are soooo. Funny!
37. Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you.
Its okay to tell us, No, I would not be interested in going out with you. It makes things a lot easier than saying, Oh, sorry I cant make it my grandma died…my dog is sick…I have to do XYZ. Its a shitty hint, especially after having a seemingly engaging string of conversations.
38. A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
A conversation you had in your head is not a conversation that actually happened.
39. Ignore all romantic advice from rom-coms.
Every piece of romantic advice you’ve gotten from a rom-com should be jettisoned as fast as possible. Hard to get does not work. Subtle hints are not going to be picked up on. There is no minimum waiting period for replying to texts, agreeing to a second date, resuming communicationanything. Put your cards on the table and be upfront. Men don’t hate a woman who says no; if anything, most men will be grateful that they can just move on. The happiest relationship I’ve ever been in began in one whirlwind night: We went from first date to drinks after to apartment in a single evening. I’m going to marry her once my bank balance has room for a ring in it.
40. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language.
Men are not fucking mind readers. If you want us to understand something, then articulate in clear language. We play draughts, not chess.
41. Men don’t drop subtle hints.
When I ask, Do you know where the remote is?, I am not asking you to look for the remote. When I ask, Is this basket of laundry clean or dirty?, I am not asking you to do the laundry. When I say, We’re all out of milk, I am not asking you to drop everything and go shopping. For fuck’s sake, I’m just trying to exchange information with you. I’m not trying to drop subtle hints that I am unhappy and need you to do something, my God.
42. Please respect our privacy.
Oh yes, another thing: If I tell you, Please respect our privacy, what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom, and you turn around and tell all your friends…I will be upset and the relationship will probably not last.
43. If you say, ‘Nothing’s wrong,’ we will believe you.
If we ask, What’s wrong? and you answer, Nothing, we will behave exactly as if everything is OK.
44. Don’t try to make us jealous by talking about other guys.
Mentioning how many guys are going for you/chasing you doesn’t create the narrative of, Oh damn, she’s a hot commodity, better try harder. Instead its, Fuck, chasing her seems like it would be a lot of drama, better skip this one.
45. We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
We are as insecure about ourselves as you are about yourselves.
46. All men are different and they should be treated as such.
All men are different and they should be treated as such.
47. If you want us to do something, expect that we’ll do it our way.
If you want me to do something, expect that I’ll do it my way. If you want something done your way, you fuckin do it. This is the price of delegation.
48. We’re not always in the mood for sex.
Just because we can’t get an erection at a given moment, that doesn’t mean we’re not into you or that we don’t want to have sex. It’s not that simple.
49. If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you.
If we compliment you, the best thing you can say is, Thank you. A self-deprecating joke about how we’re wrong is rarely charming.
50. We’re not interested in playing stupid games.
We can see through the Im fine bullshit. But if you say it three times, we’re going to let it go. It’s not because we aren’t aware it’s bullshit, and it’s not because we don’t careit’s because we’re not interested in playing stupid games.
51. If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends.
If I tell you something in confidence, it’s really not OK for you to tell your best friends. And it goes both ways.
52. Just tell us what you want to eat!
What do you want to eat. pls.
53. If you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
Most of us don’t get subtle hints; if you want us to do something, just come out and say it!
54. We can’t always tell when you’re flirting.
Don’t forget that one woman’s subtle hint’ is another woman’s ‘What? Are you kidding? I was fixing my hair, not flirting, you creep.
55. Your enthusiasm is what makes sex good for us.
What makes sex good? One thing more than anything. ENTHUSIASM. It doesn’t matter how hot you are if I’m banging you and you seem bored. Or if the BJ is like a chore or something. Nothing kills the mood quicker.
56. We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING.
We can and do LITERALLY think of nothing. NOTHING. No thought, no music in our head, just nothing. Complete silence in our head. It’s so calming and relaxing.
57. If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
If you ask for my opinion, don’t get upset when I tell you my opinion.
58. We can’t predict when you’re going to act like an evil gremlin.
Ive never owned a gremlin, so please don’t expect me to understand your feeding patterns and be able to predict when you’re going to become an evil monster because all you’ve eaten was some Melba toast 12 hours ago.
59. Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us.
Men have a C-word as well that we hate to have attached to us. It’s called Creep and encompasses Not my type to Level 3 sex offender and everything in between. It’s vastly subjective, applied liberally with very broad brushstrokes, and can occur with something as simple as looking past you to the beer menu and occasionally crossing glances. The majority of guys would really only like to: a) talk like adults, b) ask you to please step aside so we can get to the bartender, or c) continue being subconsciously aware of your existence but actively thinking about nothing. Indifference, the ultimate villainy.
60. We want black and white, so stop giving us grey.
I read a quote once that said something to the effect of: Guys want black and white and girls can only give grey. Please stop making this fucking true.
61. Don’t look for insults in everything we say to you.
If I say something to you, and it could possibly be interpreted multiple ways, I didn’t mean the one that pisses you off. Don’t look for insults in everything someone says to you.
62. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
We like to be wooed as well. We start to shut down when all the romance is coming from our end.
63. Women change and men don’t.
Men fall for women and expect them never to change. But they do. Women fall for men and want to change them. But they dont.
64. We’ll probably go with the girl that jerks us around the least.
A little mystery & drawn-out flirting is good, but seriously, dont let it go on too long. Most guys are talking to more than one girl. Talking, not banging. And we’ll probably go with the one that jerks us around the least. Also when you asked what we’re thinking about & we say ‘nothing, we are not lying.
65. If we ask you to play a video game with us, that means we really like you.
If a man asks you to play a video game with him, and actually takes the time and patience to teach you how to play it, he really fucking likes you and wants to spend HOURS of quality time with you.
66. A man who treats waiters with respect is trustworthy.
A man who treats people who have lower status (e.g., waiters) with respect is trustworthy. A man who does not is not.
67. Men are actually very, very good listeners.
Men are actually very, very good listeners. We pay attention to what you actually say. If you say yes but you meant no, then the breakdown of communication is with you, not us. It’s really not our responsibility to learn what you really mean when you say something completely different.
68. We think in boxes.
Our manner of thinking is pretty different from women’s. The best analogy I have heard is that men think in boxes: If you want to talk about camping, we will take out the camping box; if you want to talk about houses, we put the camping box away and pull out the housing box. There is one box that has nothing in it and, if given the choice, that is the box we will go to every time and literally think about nothing. The nothing box is our favorite one.
69. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what we want to do
Just because we both have the day off doesnt mean we have to fill it with shit to do. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what I want to do.
70. Women are hornier than men.
You are hornier than us. Fuck what they told you. It’s true.
71. Never, ever call our penis ‘cute.’
Im surprised by the lack of penis knowledge most women possess, so here’s some information. 1. When we pee, it’s not this magical stream that starts and stops without dripping, and it doesn’t always shoot in a straight line. It can, and sometimes will, shoot out in multiple directions simultaneously at times. We’re not peeing on the seat on purpose, and it’s as frustrating to us as it is to you. 2. Like the joke by Dane Cook, our penis is kind of like an amoeba. It’s constantly changing shape, and you never really know what he’s going to look like at any given time. 3. To add on to the above post, let’s also talk about shrinkage. When we’re dehydrated, been swimming in the pool, or have just been generally very active, he’s going to be a shadow of himself when released to the world. We’re literally talking 1/3 to 1/4 (sometimes even below) his full size. This is expected, but still a bit emasculating. Be an adult. 4. Never, ever, call him cute. Unless you want to talk about how big he is, don’t say a word.
72. We are much simpler than you think we are.
We are much simpler than you think we are. When you hear hoofbeats, think Horses, not Zebras.
73. We get annoyed when we find out you told your best friends our confidential secrets.
We get annoyed when we find out your best friends know everything about our relationship, including the secrets we told you in confidentiality.
74. GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT.
GIRLS. CAN. ASK. GUYS. OUT. I cannot tell you how often it gets asked on Yik Yak at my university or I overhear girls deliberating over it with their friends if they can ask a guy out.
75. Don’t look for hidden meaning in what we say.
That men really don’t have anything behind what they’re saying. Like, if you’re going out to dinner and he says, That’s an interesting dress, literally he means it’s interesting. He doesn’t mean that it’s ugly, he doesn’t mean that you look fat, that your hair is ugly, that you have a nasty pimple on your chin, he really just thinks your dress is interesting. All the while you’re overanalyzing what he’s saying and thinking of 400 different meanings to what he said, he’s onto thinking about what he wants to eat at the restaurant.
76. When we say, I love you, we mean it.
When you say, I love you, I’m not always going to parrot it back. The reason is because love isn’t a Pavlovian response. When I say, I love you it is with thoughtful intent. I want my I love yous to have meaning.
77. Hints don’t work.
Hints don’t work. If you want something, ask for it. If you expect him to read your mind, you’re going to be disappointed a lot.
78. Don’t try to make us jealous.
Don’t try to make us jealous by pretending to like other guys. A lot of guys will just back off if they think you’re into someone else.
79. We listen to your problems so we can solve them.
If you ask us for advice, we will give you what we believe to be the best course of action. 90% of the time you will ignore us. 95% of the time you will think it’s stupid. But 99% of the time, it will be the simplest, most direct method to solve the problem. That’s what we do, we listen to your problems to solve them. It’s not what you want, but it’s what you get.
80. Don’t wait for us to initiate sex.
If you want to have sex, don’t wait for men to initiate. If a man always has to initiate into sex he will feel like you don’t want it and just do it because you make him feel good but don’t actually feel any pleasure yourself.
Also , when initiating, be pretty straightforward or use very obvious hints because we don’t get it. If you start touching a guy’s dick and he doesn’t understand that you want to have sex, yeah, that’s wrong. But if you give some sort of glance or just say something like, Oh, it’s been a long day and we’re supposed to work from there to understand that you want to have sex that’s not gonna work.
81. A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved.
A lot of us want a woman that will make us feel loved, not one who just gets loved.
82. Sometimes we just like to be alone.
Sometimes men just like to be alone; it’s not that we’re angry with you or ignoring you, we just like to be alone occasionally.
83. Don’t tell your friends about our sexual secrets.
If we tell you something about our sexual history or sexual predilections, it doesn’t mean we actually want to talk about or hear about it every time you think about it. We opened up enough to tell you some kooky, borderline stuff we did in the past; leave it alone, don’t bring it up, and definitely don’t bring it up lightly or use it as ammunition during an argument, and what’s more don’t tell your friends about it. This is personal stuff, and at some point grown-up relationships should be about integrity, mutual respect, and trusteven beyond the bounds of the relationship.
84. Give us feedback during sex.
Every vagina and their owner is different. Much like how every penis and their owner is different.
What may work for one, may not work for the other. So during sex, feel free to give feedback. Faster? Slower? Softer? Harder? Let us know what works, what doesn’t. Can we be doing things better? Tell us.
I dated one girl for over a year who told me she didn’t like how I fingered her. Seriously, she didn’t speak up about it for over a year because she felt awkward about it. So she essentially just wasted our time. If I am finger-banging or eating pussy, I’m not doing it for my sake. A little feedback and guidance isn’t going to kill my mood.
85. Constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes us wonder why we’re actually there.
Maybe it’s just me, but constantly being on your phone while we’re out together makes me wonder why I’m actually there.
86. If you like a guy, tell him.
I don’t know if every guy would agree with this, but I don’t think it’s the rejection we’re afraid of. It’s the possibility of looking like some creep/loser if we ask you out and you say no. It’s the way you’ll see us from then on out that makes us afraid. The vulnerability. So honestly, if you like a guy, tell him. No guy should ever have a problem with a girl doing that; there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t make us have to go through the whole fear of asking you out if you already want to tell us yourself.
87. Don’t blame us for things we do in YOUR dreams.
Women of the world!!!!
Guys cannot cheat in your dreams!
Three times it happened with an ex of mine. Three times she awoke in a complete strop, of course being the ever caring SO at the time I ask what’s wrong.
Supposedly I cheated with her best friend three times in HER dreams and I’m the one to blame.
I never cheated and never thought of cheating.
88. We need time with our friends, too.
Just because I want to spend the rest of my life with you does not mean I can’t have time with friends. Time apart is sometimes just as important as time together.
89. We shut down because arguing isn’t worth it.
If we shut down or stop responding during an argument, it doesn’t mean we stopped caring about your feelings or that you aren’t worth talking to or that we’re ignoring you. It means we just don’t want to make the argument worse or last longer than it needs to, because chances are, the argument wasn’t worth the energy to begin with.
90. Fuck off with the hints.
Fuck off with the hints (both, the “blatantly obvious” and subtle). We prefer direct, clear communication. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
91. Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
Guys like being the little spoon sometimes, too.
92. Our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
When we’re spreading our legs, it’s most likely because our balls are uncomfortable. Side note, our legs are a Venus flytrap for our dicks.
93. We don’t get tired of your boobs.
We don’t get tired of your boobs. It’s a joy to see them literally every time. The same with touching them. You might not understand it…frankly, I don’t think we do, either. But for straight men, boobs are the physical embodiment of I’ve been with my SO for almost a decade and my eyes still up light every time. I’m not a very emotive person, but she’s noted my look of genuine happiness when I see them.
94. Don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends.
Two things: 1. Unless you have a specific reason, don’t assume that we wanna cheat on you with our female friends. It can be a little insulting.2. Men are very literal. If we tell you we love you or that you’re beautiful, we tend to mean exactly that.
95. Even if you hit us playfully, it still hurts.
Just because a man is physically bigger than you doesn’t mean that punching, kicking, or slapping him doesn’t hurteven if it’s done playfully. We aren’t trees or rocks. Pain still hurts.
96. Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy.
Im not obligated to still be as attracted to you if you get fat and unhealthy. I feel this goes both ways.
96. When we break up, please keep the jewelry we gave you.
When a breakup does happen don’t go trying to give back things we gave to you e.g., jewelry, etc. A) we find it hurtful, like there is no sentimental value to our time together. B) what am I gonna do with girls’ jewelry/stuff? C) it may just end up coming across like you are trying to intentionally cause us pain by giving such things back, like a reminder of your existence.
98. The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend “chasing” you.
The older we get, the less time we’re willing to spend ‘chasing’ you. If I’m interested, and you’re interested, there should be no reason for you to still be playing hard to get and taking longer than two requests for your time to agree to a date. Either commit or tell me you’re not interested. I’m 30. Dating at this age consists of ‘Are we doing this or not? I got shit to do.’
99. If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions.
If you bring us problems, we will offer solutions. That is our way of showing that we have listened and that we care.
100. We don’t run the world.
There is a mountain of men that are really struggling. We don’t run the world. In fact, a very large percentage of us will kill ourselves. 79% of suicides are males (US). White males represent 70% of suicides overall.
And yet, not a single candidate seems to be expressing any desire to combat any of this. As have no candidates in decades.
The Men’s Rights movement is something that seems to piss off a lot of people. But this is one of our biggest concerns. Personally, I get very upset when I hear economically debunked wage gap lies perpetrated repeatedly, year-after-year. Wage gap. #HeForShe. #BringBackOurGirls. Mansplaining. Manspreading. Alarming rate of suicide in males? Crickets. Massively disproportionate rates of violent crime? BORING. Schoolboys being burned alive or forced into being child soldiers? #BringBackOurBoys? HA! More like #BringBackMyKardashians, am I right!?
There is a vast lack of perspective missing from today’s social justice warriors, corrupt politicians, and ideologues. Men are struggling. Boys are struggling. Worldwide, even.
Crickets.
In the past week, the woman who once claimed, Women have always been the primary victims of war made another sexist plea to further denigrate the worth of male life. In spite of the FACT that women receive 63% (SIXTY-THREE PERCENT) lighter sentences than men for the same crime if they are prosecuted at ALL, Hillary Clinton feels that the criminal justice system is unfair…to women. Because putting women in prison takes them away from their families. And, obviously, men being away from their families is no big deal.
Advocates for the acknowledgement of men’s issues do not hate you, women. But I do hate every last harpy that has shouted down people (men, women, trans alike) just trying to speak about men’s struggles. I do hate the COUNTLESS not-true feminists I see littering Twitter with continued attempts to minimize men’s issues, or proudly posting their #MaleTears selfies. I DON’T hate, but proudly champion, the amazing women that ARE trying to bring light to these issues. The kinds of women who DON’T just sit there when their friends are all joking about how men are worthless or only good for one thing (thanks, wife, for calling out double standards).
And that’s why I don’t hate women. Like most MRAs. We love women. We’ve most likely been raised by amazing women, grown up with them as siblings, dated and married them. There are mountains of you that are NOT the problem. But we need your help. We need your cooperation and insistence on fact-based politics, not gender-based. The wage gap continues to be an issue liberal candidates will espouse, in the face of economic and statistical proof to the illegitimacy of the argument, simply because a large percentage of people seem to want to hear it. There is a race, it seems, to victimhood. Who am I to judge most things, but I feel fairly confident in saying that the prevention of male suicide and homelessness deserves more of our airtime, advertising, outreach, and funding than a wage gap myth that is repeatedly debunked under the slightest bit of academic scrutiny (or at the very least, reduced to a range that is within a standard margin of error).
This simple belief will undoubtedly be met with shouts of misogyny. I am a misogynist simply for prioritizing a concrete, factual narrative that prioritizes a life-and-death issue.

greetings loved ones ! i love snoop dogg deal with it ! im benzo im literal trash thanks for checking in lmao im so excited for this u have no fkn idea boo ( feel free 2 msg me or like this post if ur too lazy n i will contact u once i get back home ) i love twd and alanna masterson a lot ( ok twd is becoming a lil bad but ima still watch it tho ) so this is a huge deal for me to play her n also my first time so dont ride my dick like this if theres something wrong with her or smth pls bare w me ! under the read more u will find a bit more about my babe MELANIE MILLER and about the connections and stuff keep in mind that im still trying to figure her out and all that stuff so have fun !
Tumblr media
mel has lived all of her life in hermosa beach, she was born and raised there and loves it and would never ever leave it here she’s shocked and upset her parents decided to move out of there which takes us to her current living status: she lived with her parents until she turned 21, she rented an apartment and has been living on her own ever since. her father was the local owner of THE BAR ( ya the bar its called THE BAR dont make a big deal outta it have u not seen gone girl? jeez ) and when they moved out of hermosa to travel around the world with all the bar’s funding they left mel in charge of it and its been a crazy ride for her bc she literally knew nothing about how to manage a bar but now she does and shes an ace !
SHES THE YOUNGER DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL, she has three brothers ( canon masterson boys bc i love them ALL esp jordan ) who eventually come visit her n she loves them with all her damn heart ! her family means the most to her and shes always happy to have them around like u have no idea how much ! she also has a little niece ( i didnt wanted mel to have a child but I CANT CUT OFF ALL THE CUTE MARLOWE PICS SO ) who means absolutely everything to her ! she loves kids bc she considers herself a child at heart mmmm
her label is the BENEVOLENT meaning she’s really caring and soft and sweet. picture jess day from new girl minus all the glitter and girly things. mel is kind of a tomboy who wouldnt mind to wear dresses on special occasions ! lmao she’s super funny but will always bring the dad jokes to the table but lbr who doesnt love a dad joke lmao shes rly weird but in that sweet nice way you know ?
she was born in a very religious family and she always did what her parents wanted to so now that she’s all on her own she’s like free and ready to be wild but she’s like am i really ready for this ? am i as wild as everyone else seem to be ? she’s very responsible she was RAISED that way and she can’t help it ofc sometimes she’s like you know what i dont care im going to do it.... will i regret it? probably but i dont care !
mel is ALL AGAINST conflict shes the one to talk her way through things and be as civil as possible unless you wanna get wild she will probably walk the heck away from u and be like “not gonna have it, my dude !” you know? she loves attention but she never shows, shes kinda insecure about her looks in general and she pulls it off in a funny way like im gonna drag myself before u do so dont bother.... she is very sensitive but its going to take you a little bit harder than “u look bad” to make her feel bad you know.... she will probably cry later when no ones around but shes not going to let you know !
shes so aesthetic she loves art, painting, music, museums, the stars, the moon and everything else ... she believes 100% in alien and supports the theory that THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE she lowkey scully and mulders child lmaooo
she got a major in psychology so listening to people and comforting them is the thing she loves the most ! she lives for the present, dont talk to her about her past or ask her about the future that kinda annoys her although shes soft hearted and all she likes being straight up with almost everyone ! if you wanna die lie to her um she aint gonna kill u u idiot but she gonna cut u right tf off without hesitation !
PISCES SUN / GEMINI MOON / ARIES RISING !
shes an emotional wreck, she literally has no luck at all with love shes a fucking mess she falls for the wrong person EVERY FREAKING TIME ( i can relate ) she covers her emotions ( when talking about love and relationships ) with indifference and humor most of the time she be like “i dont rly need someone to constantly be there for me men aint shit” but she be crying in her sleep for someone to cuddle her every night lmao thats the way she is man u gotta love her
WANTED CONNECTIONS
SO BASICALLY i love new girl a lot and i love it specially bc it gives u so many ideas for connections and stuff lmao if u want some inspo check a new girl blog and we will get a connection from it lol but yeah my most wanted connections as of right now are:
friends to lovers: they are RIDES OR DIES basically, it doesnt have to be like uh they known each other forever nah its alright if they just met like a year ago anyway they p much together all the time and one of them ( either ur muse or mel idc ) start to feel things for the other and its annoying bc they dont wanna ruin this thing at all .... plot twist ? if u like to watch ur characters suffer, like ME ! maybe this thing is a ONE SIDED THING like one has feelings and the other is like lmao yikes ! so everything slowly becomes awkward ! i dont rly know i dont mind how this actually turns out tbh as long as we have it !
bestfriends: ALMOST SIBLINGS they have known each other for literally YEARS they went to school, high school and maybe college together ! p much melanie is the mother and ur muse is the reckless teenager whos always asking for help but they love each other a lot ! think about cece/jess from new girl :)
roomies ( 0 / 3 ): they all different from one another its a miracle they all get along this well ! they are a huge fucking mess but they are there for each other all the time ! they all live in a loft or a house idk we could figure that out laters ! ( tba )
exes: well okay as explained before, mel is a huge mess when it comes to love ! this could go two ways, they ended on bad terms but try to be as civil maybe ? melanie is a caring loving bitch but when shes in a relationship her insecurities take over most of the times and thats why it messes everything up and MAYBE thats one of the reasons why they broke up ? idk man we can work something out.... OR THEY ENDED ON REALLY NICE GOOD TERMS and still care for each other and its like they are there for each other but its kinda awkward bc do we still love each other like that or are we like family now ? you know ? I DONT MIND MELANIE HAVING LIKE TWO EXES SO LMAO
sugar daddy: is she into that daddy kink ? whO KNOWS ! but lately shes been drooling over u and its kinda nice but shes afraid bc this will probably end up really bad but shes still willing to take one for the team !
big little lies ( 0 / 5 ): MY FAVORITE SHOW so im thinking a group of FIVE to SIX powerful women ( who havent killed anyone yet so chill ) who are there for each other and have wine nights and sit by the fire to talk about their days and stuff like that so yeah that would be so cute ! ( tba )
conspiracy theories buddy: they dont just talk about conspiracy theories but they do lmao also “did u heard about the haunted house up in the hills? wanna go?” they vibe Hard its 4 am n they texting about aliens the universe and sutff like that ! ( tba )
ok thats p much all i can think of ! if there any other connection u wanna have dont hesitate to let me know ! i love sharing ideas and crying over headcanons so its fine by me ! also im running late to work so if u wanna plot hmu and like this thing and ill make sure to reply to all ur msgs once i get back home !
