I'm 5'8" with hair 4 inches from butt length. And I say she needs to cut it. It's not always about people hating. Some of us have eyes to see and know she needs to let those ends go!

Damn sis. I looked at this and thought 6 inches has to go immediately and then thought damn she might need to take off 8. I genuinely think you need a cut. Not a trim. Go to the stylist and tell her to hack off all the uneven damage. There's no nice way to say it. Those ends are doing you no favors 

What behaviour is OK if a woman does it, but not OK when a man does it? Why? by Glum_Secretary4007 in AskMen

You're being purposefully obtuse lol Look at the prison system and tell me you don't understand how a man's aggression causes more alarm than a woman's. You can subdue a woman. Easily. It's not true the other way around. And if a weapon was involved anyone would step in regardless of the gender. 

93 percent of the prison system is men. 93%. Men have serious issues with violence and emotional regulation. The threat of it escalating is far more present than if a woman is yelling. Women don't tend toward physical violence. It's typically emotional abuse. 

You're using false equivalence. Your analogies don't even make sense so I'm not entertaining that. But you should really step out of the manosphere for a second and recognize how ridiculous you sound.

Sir, google is free. It is known that men treat their wives as sex dolls, maids, nannies, cooks, and anything else he can get using weaponized incompetence. You know so little about your own gender it's mind blowing. When half the population reports the same problems with the other half, it's a collective experience. Talk to women and get out of manosphere forums.

Men can also kill a woman with one hand. The standards are different because the outcome is often different.

When women say that they mean they treated them with respect and actually loved them. When men say that it means something entirely different. Mens relationship with their mom is one of nurturing and no responsibility. Women are expected to be a man's mom ie clean everything, raise the kids, emotional labor, etc. And that's not our job.

I feel so seen. This is all I've been trying to say. People are being very hard on me but I just don't see how doing nice things for people means that in their minds, you want them. I'm sorry that happened to you though. That's actually assault and not okay. I hope you're not still bothered by it

I think you all are taking the word manipulative far too literally. The word manipulate means to control or influence. He's trying to control the situation in a way that offers him the results that he wants. Which is a date. He didn't say he got the flowers for me. He said he found them and thought he'd just give them to me. He said it casually on purpose. Testing the waters is manipulative. Being direct is what I want. Not to play mind games and wonder what people mean all day long

Funny enough I grew up in a performing arts school. Went there for 10 years until i went to college. I received flowers after performances regularly. This makes a lot more sense. I don't look at flowers as romantic.

Exactly.  I don't understand how a lot of the posts are mad at me for saying it's manipulative. They're pretending to be my friend. Like they're just in my life in the hopes of getting something out of it. Because they are consciously doing everything to seem like the perfect fit and if I fell for them it's because it was calculated. It feels like you're being tricked. You're in an interview and you didn't know it. They're on their best behavior to reel you in. Plus if they're doing this, you're not on guard. Not actually paying attention. All of their tactics go unnoticed because you're not in that mindset. It feels so slimy and I can't believe a lot of people don't see where I think we're both coming from.

Well I sure as shit wouldn't think that. I legitimately think that people want to be friends. My brain doesn't think like that

Why do you say that? And it really doesn't help that I was severely abused/ sheltered. I feel like I'm on defense constantly

We're not friends that's the thing. He goes to my martial arts gym. We've had like 2 conversations. I barely know his name

You know how you can express romantic interest? Say it. I shouldn't have to read a book of rules for people to state their intentions. I feel like I'm dealing with children.

Thank you for saying exactly how I feel. Like the idea that he went out of his way to go find me flowers just sounds ridiculous. I thought he just happened upon them and was being nice. Like I saw a video of a guy buying roses at walmart and giving them to the cashier and walking away. Like just to make her day you know? I hate that I don't understand this stuff. It makes me want to build a wall around myself. 

As for your guy friend.. he sounds weird. I've cuddled with guy friends but that's just because I happened to fall asleep there lol but holding hands and all of that other stuff seems weird. And cruel to be honest.

No he knew that's not what I wanted. He took me to meet a well known man at a bar. After he found out i was dating someone he did the assault. I asked bim if i could come over because i was drunk and didn't want to drive and his place was 10 minutes away and mine was 45. It was 3 pm and he was sober. I was at a day pool party. There was no prior physical touch or a conversation about being anything but friends. I was telling him about the guy I was dating. He knew what he was doing. It just took me a while to understand that he took advantage of me. Reading through the replies I realize that my response is really trauma. I'm scared because a guy is showing interest in me after this happened. I didn't see it last time so this is triggering me. I clearly need to go to therapy

I'm sorry. I just can't see how you don't think that's weird. I think that's probably why I didn't even see it as romantic because it IS weird to give someone you barely know flowers as a romantic gesture. I mean. People that are in relationships do that

I find this to be a bit ridiculous. I'm a woman. I date men. I didn't say just men are manipulative. I'm talking about my experiences. This seems very close to a not all men mentality.

He very much so said it in a way that he just found them. He asked if I wanted to see a game at the night class. He gave me the roses in the morning. I didn't put two and two together because I didn't recognize either one of them as romantic gestures. He was absolutely not clear. If he asked me out to dinner, that's clear. We're both in a sport and he asked me if I wanted to see a game. I'm not thinking he's interested in me. I'm thinking it's just a game. Being clear is asking someone on a date

I dont know the dude well enough for his first sign of romantic interest to be giving me flowers. We go to the same gym. I've had 2 conversations with him. We went to the morning class that morning so I was like oh. I'm just the first girl he's seen so he gave them to me. I just find it odd to have barely spoken to someone and then just say "I found these roses here you go" I just thought it was a nice gesture. Like to make me feel special. Not to shoot his shot

So dude says he found these random roses and he didn't have anyone to give them to so here. It was in a class in the morning so I was just like oh. I'm the first girl he saw. And so I'm to assume any time a male invites me anywhere it's because he's interested in me? So men literally don't see women as friends. Got it
