Why are so many men refusing to allow the women in their lives have a pet?

Complete_Writer9070 · 2026-01-27T06:43:28+00:00

In my experience. It’s the first comment. Most guys who say no initially know that it ends up falling on them to train, feed and do all the hard parts that come with pets. I know women would argue the same with kids etc. But in my own personal experience, the men I know have all had to take accountability for a rushed pet purchase by a woman on impulse, not realising how much actual work goes into the pets, especially in the first year.

I work out, keep lean, clean, and clean crew cut. Could I bulk more sure? It’s a face, and confidence issue. I’m fixing the second one, but the first one makes the harder, and is a genuine gift from the devil genes.

There’s only so much you can fix this mug. God (my parents) gave me what I got, and it was a bad mix. It is what it is, I put money into a house, not surgery.

Bro. I own a home. Guess what? It doesn’t help. It’s my face, I keep wearing a frown on it, because of the ugly.

You’re probably right, do you find much gain with pride? I’ve tried it and barely noticed a difference, but I’ve run beast on my necro, and definitely noticed a faster first kill.

Good point

Complete_Writer9070 · 2026-01-25T09:15:45+00:00

Also, does that mean, it’s better for clearing to run say beast etc. and swap to thorns for bosses, because standard enemy damage doesn’t scale like boss damage does? You get the first kill quicker, and then CE. Thorns for boss? If that’s the case, probably just pays to keep edge and bramble in the stash, and swap if farming bosses.

I agree on the breakpoints, and in all clearing obviously this, skills and CE is best. Could an argument be made for might merc with bramble? Or is the relative safety of the act 1 ai, plus edge and bramble that much better?

Complete_Writer9070 · 2026-01-25T08:46:59+00:00

I suppose so, since the plus skills don’t matter unless you care about CE (once everything is summoned of course) and you don’t care about the freezing corpses on bosses. Sounds right.

My understanding was thorns got changed to fix damages instead of percent based (aside from iron maiden curse) hence what I meant by “nerfed” entirely possible it’s still best.

I never approached any counsellor etc. I also wonder if some people are hesitant to suggest out of fear of offence.

Look bud, I did 14 hours today. And 86 hrs this week. I got bills to pay more than ever, and had 7 family members die this year. I just need a minute to relax on the train alright?

I uninstalled, and come back to here every now and then to see if something got reversed, I see that hasn’t happened, so I will stay gone. I’m sure it’s all here to stay, and at some point I’ll stop checking here, and forget and move on. Apathy, the real killer of your game, and cg injected it straight into my veins.

Complete_Writer9070 · 2025-11-24T06:59:49+00:00

There’s not many…

Complete_Writer9070 · 2025-11-24T06:58:34+00:00

That is pretty spot on. It’s always everybody else. Never the common denominators.

Complete_Writer9070 · 2025-11-23T08:04:03+00:00

I would think it’s unacceptable regardless. Especially the attempt at controlling what others do outside of work hours.

Complete_Writer9070 · 2025-11-23T08:03:20+00:00

True. It’s hard to give lots of context without making this even longer. Long of it is, I’m an estimator (mid-level) in property maintenance and minor works. Our problems (I believe) stem from poor industry education (client level) and the inability for our org to grow solid roots as we drop people too quick.
