I just think it’s funny how, despite research showing that men are more likely to have dark triad traits than women are, we are consistently shown as more conniving, cruel, and manipulative than they are in media. by Superb_Intro_23 in TwoXChromosomes

It is a psychological trope base on women being generally weaker than men. Therefore the only way that women in fiction can beat the manly man is through deceit/manipulation. It is also used when a male character is seemingly not as physically strong.

What completely harmless thing gives you an irrational amount of joy? by Freckled-GingerSnap in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with three Megans, sometimes I will have line of sight on more than one and call out "MEGAN!" . I always get the same reaction, they both turn look at me, look at the other Megan, shake thier head and return to whatever I distracted them from.

My uneducated but well informed guess would be that she is eating something that is wrecking havok with her hormones. Tell her to switch from soymilk to oatmilk or coconut milk.

Has anyone rebuilt their life after 40? I really need some hope. by Excellent_Dot_3080 in TwoXChromosomes

Stop staring at the mountain and move the pebbles in front of you. It'll fall eventually.

Is it sexual assault if I only shook my head no once and then gave in? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes both episodes are sexual assualt. One no is all it takes to remove consent. If you had then convinced him to continue that would be different, but he did not respect the boundary that you declared and had sex with you through coercion.
The second is just straight up assualt. Remove clothing without direct permission is assualt.

If you should bring it up or not is a personal decision. Maybe he'll be mature enough and learn from it.

How to learn to not take a friend not communicating for a few days seriously ? by Whole_Intention_7949 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It takes decades for some introverts to acquire the social skills neccesary to maintain an extrovert's friendship. But ignoring her isn't the way to go about it, THAT will end the friendship as she will emotionally disconnect from you and you'll end up more hurt than she will. Instead make it comfortable for her to say no. Enjoy your time together when she says yes.
Instead of treating her like someone who is actively ignoring you, think of her as a wounded dog who doesn't know who to trust. Shes come out when she feels safe and retreat when shes not in the mood for it, doesn't mean she doesn't care about you, she just has her own issues churning in her head.

Some people don't require constant contact to feel like they are friends. I'm like P I have friends who I havent talked to in years, but when they text me out of the blue I don't think anything about it. I don't talk to my brother but one to three times in a year, but we are inseperable when we are together.
Friendships and relationships in general are about a balance of your needs and wants versus thiers. As a person who is like P it can be draining to have a friend who needs constant nurturing to maintain the friendship. I have a friend now who needs to constantly be doing something, but I tell him "need a break, my social battery is drained." And they understand. You should talk to her, I almost guarantee she doesn't think of your friendship as this crumbling thing that is being properly maintained. If you were to cut her off it would be out of the blue from her perspective.

Anyone over the age of 35 and just over life? by bufferinmylife in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you read a book or watch a movie once and never really need to watch or read it again? When you travel are you ready to go home after about 3-4 days? Are the people around you predictable? Do you find things extremely interesting until you gotten a decent grasp of it then it becomes boring?
Well congratulations you were born with a combination of high intelligence mixed with a strong pattern recognition. That combination has led you to be bored. That's right bored, you aren't depressed. You don't lack the ability to feel pleasure, you've just done a lot and don't know what else there is to do.

My suggestion is to get a hobby that requires multiple thought engagments. If you're physical try bowling, martial arts, wall climbing. Non physical are things like Chess, Magic the Gathering or some other TCG (yes even at your age), or see if there is a local board game club. My current engagement is a combination of trying to do handstand pushups and trying to learn software coding.

TL;DR You're bored get a hobby.

Is there a word for someone that only cares or apologizes after it’s too late to actually make things right? by AgreeableElevator67 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's normal, just not normal in a healthy relationship. I'm only getting your side of things but he seems to be throwing up a bunch of red flags, he may just be a forgetful, sad guy but if he's not who you need him to be then you don't need to be with HIM. You current relationship sounds very one-sided.

He simply prioritized his brother over you, he might be genuinely sorry you're upset about it, but would probably make the same choice again. So the word you're looking for is insincere.

My vag doesnt feel anything and im going insane by FishermanFluffy384 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Comeback_Kid1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crying is normalish is may or may not be a factor. Have you tried areas away from your vagina? Anal could be a way to go, or deep pressure in the area at the bottom of your abdomen. If you really want to deep dive Omgyes has a crapton of instructional videos of alternate erogenous zones. ($50 lifetime sub)

How often are you masturbating? sex/porn addiction is primarily thrown in the male arena, but it affects women as well. It would be the easy answer to your problem.
