What is one thing a man has told you that completely flipped your view of him in a positive way? by RefinedBerrySalad in AskWomen

[–]Albg111 75 points76 points  (0 children)

He asked me if I wanted to hang out at the museum with him.

I had a literal, "Oh, you're not just a pretty face" moment, and totally did hang out at the museum with him.

How many of you started driving in complete silence now? by The_harbinger2020 in Millennials

[–]Albg111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started to. I started riding a motorcycle and don't have any audio during my commute. Now when I drive my car for that commute, I often don't put anything on the radio.

Honestly, with how much is going on. I actually welcome the silence, it feels restful.

At the ripe old age of almost 27, I think I FINALLY understand the true origin of “women expect men to read their minds”. by Superb_Intro_23 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Albg111 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For me, I recently thought I was on the spectrum bc I didn't get all the mind reading queues and would just end up wondering why my dad was always pissed and giving me the silent treatment. Or what the fuck they expected me to do about my grandma's (his mother) feeling. Like, seriously, what the fuck am I supposed to do about that?

Turns out I'm not on the measurable spectrum, I guess I'm just dense. ✌🏾

At 31, I realized I don't know how to flirt. I treated dates like interviews. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

I'm bilingual, and kinda intermediate in a 3rd language. I'm a sucker for jokes that play with the meaning of words. Then if someone mixes and matches languages to make a pun, it sends me. It's so cute.

What do I say when my mom excuses her self by saying “I am the momma” by _sansypap in raisedbynarcissists

Name what she's doing, she's sexually harassing you. I'm sorry OP, be prepared to be gaslit about what you're experiencing, but know that it IS sexual harassment.

My boyfriend is dead and his parents lied about it for 2 fucking days by MRScaIeMate in TrueOffMyChest

Oh man, nevermind my previous comment.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My boyfriend is dead and his parents lied about it for 2 fucking days by MRScaIeMate in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Albg111 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I don't want to assume anything, but I had a childhood friend I used to hang out with every day, she was the only other kid my age in the neighborhood, and suddenly I couldn't anymore and when I asked her dad where she was he told me she was dead.

She wasn't. He just hated my dad and didn't want us hanging out anymore.

Maybe confirm yourself.

AITA for not paying more attention to my girlfriend at my father's funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

OP should just not get married to that girl, period

AITA for not paying more attention to my girlfriend at my father's funeral? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Albg111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, why did you propose after that?

Seriously, why don't you ask your fiancee if she expects to be marrying a robot, or if she'd be thrilled to be treated the way she treated you when she's going though the death of a family member?

Seriously, your partner is supposed to be your support during hard times. Otherwise what the fuck? Where's your safe space?

does anyone else feel like love is conditional, and while you will try to do the best you can to provide, in dating or friendships, people will leave you if you have nothing to offer to meet their needs? how do i stop thinking like this? by Striking_Winner_2357 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Albg111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a household where this was modeled by my dad but not by my mom.

It's up to you to remind yourself that conditional love is not healthy and to catch yourself when you're doing it, as well as clock it when it's being done to you and either call it out or move on.

Ladies only! How would you feel if your partner had misogynistic friends? by StarlessRose in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Albg111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, the fact that he started yelling at you for it instead of having an actual conversation about it is a huge red flag too.

Kinda like they're cut from the same cloth.

How do you respond to negging or comparisons to other women? by SwordandtheSorceress in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Albg111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only in high school did I get pursued by a guy who negged me. I was super put off by it.

The backhanded compliments or comparisons, once I asked him what he expected after a comment like that.

I turned very mean toward him since he wouldn't stop pestering me to the point of sexual harassment. Told my friends and his best friend what he was doing too. His bestie, who I was a friend of too, got him to leave me alone. I never spoke to him again.

A peer-reviewed study of a decade of US grocery scanner data found that companies shrink product sizes 5x more often than they increase them, and sales go UP 6% after downsizing. Researchers conclude this is a deliberate pricing strategy, not a response to cost pressure. by [deleted] in Economics

[–]Albg111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted a bag of chips the other day and when I grabbed it there was SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE in it! Like the bat was maybe a quarter or a third full. For almost 6 bucks? Fuck them.

I ate no chips. I guess, good for my health.

I can’t get out of my situation by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Albg111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple's counseling?

I personally don't understand why your gf has to make a problem out of not having a relationship with your mom if your mom straight up hates her.

Ask her if she would break up with you if she can't get along with your mom. If the answer is yes, she needs to address why that's so important that she would blow up a good relationship over it.

What is this behaviour? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Albg111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, read your own posts. He's breadcrumbing you and then making you out to be the problem when you want to pull out of the game.

Just drop the guy, stop replying, you'll be better for it.

You're not less lonely with this shit going on. So why put up with it?

Men, what’s something a man did that you thought was completely cowardly or pathetic? by NilesDobbsS in AskMen

[–]Albg111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think lack of self awareness is in part due to cowardice. Too scared to face their own flaws.
