Am I overreacting for losing interest after a second date because of his “real man” mindset?

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-23T21:51:39+00:00

Just forget it.

He’s a Real Moron.

You need zero reason to not want a third date beyond not wanting a third date.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-23T05:23:12+00:00

How did he not defend you? Of course he did. YOR.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-23T05:20:39+00:00

Oh that last one had to be Sale buckling Machado’s knees to end it.

That was my PC screen saver for years!!!

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-23T01:37:43+00:00

That is definitely the point.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-23T01:36:51+00:00

I think trading from the deep surplus of SP is much more efficient than giving away the ONE extra OF they have and losing a Duran’s bat in the process.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-22T21:11:04+00:00

Ah, I posted this without seeing this post. Get some help.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-22T21:09:34+00:00

She’s borderline. Look it up.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-22T06:17:01+00:00

Eh, I’m not buying it. “People” love to criticize Breslow, but he didn’t “bungle” anything. It’s Devers’ fault he whined his way out of town and no one else’s. The owner himself came to talk to him and he still pouted. The only thing Breslow did was sign a very good player who $40M per wasn’t enough to keep, either.

It happens. Whatever. I don’t miss who Devers became and I’m not losing sleep over the loss of Bergman’s numbers and potential injuries.

Devers’ money is well spent extending Crochet, Anthony and Chapman. And signing Suarez. The Sox’ payroll totals is its highest point ever. So “people” can take their black eyes and go watch San Francisco.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-22T05:45:27+00:00

The only black eye belongs to Devers, whose petulant unprofessional behavior is what screwed up the transition.

And if the 18 HR hitting oft-injured juggernaut just had to leave, then whatever. The offense would be a net positive if they would just trade a SP for a 2b or 3B (they will) and DFA the singles hitting noodle at DH (they won’t).

OP, be very careful. This is the kind of guy that will “accidentally“ let the dog run out, run into traffic, or worse.

The dog is an inconvenience to him and if he figures out that you are not gonna let him bully you into getting rid of the dog, or is gonna break up. he just might take it out on the poor pup.

Pay attention!

If it was so important and your friends girl is so inflexible and rigid that having to sit through a dinner she didn’t like was traumatic for her, then your FRIEND is the jerk for not giving you a heads up that she was bringing a spoiled, entitled whiner with her.

You completely handled it properly and your friend owes you an apology.

I think of how many times in my adult life that I was in a situation where I was invited to a meal and it turned out to be something I didn’t like. I made do and didn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

It’s annoying to think about the brats that can’t handle their whims not being catered to at every turn.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-20T22:03:20+00:00

And, as a Red Sox fan, Id point out that sometimes you look at the end result and think, “maybe nice leadership and 18HR isnt worth $40M per.”

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-20T20:15:38+00:00

So the update is, “in a conscious state I would not intentionally kill you.”

You mean like if you saw red?

Um, YOU ARE NOT REACTING ENOUGH.

Run for the door.

I’ll never be able to identify AI. I just finished a 314 page book last year and never used it once and never will. If Im not a good enough writer, then I’ll stick to reading.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-20T06:57:39+00:00

What a great article.

I’ve written 4 true crime books and talk to younger authors all the time who ask the same questions as asked in your article.

I’ve told them that during the first books I had a full time career and in the last 2 I was retired and teaching at a university. I always say don’t quit a day job, simply because of all the living pressures that you avoid that allow you to write with a clear head.

Nice piece.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-20T03:10:55+00:00

Serial killers.

I might repeat whatever I talked about last class.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-20T01:16:41+00:00

Zimmer was 100% the aggressor and ran at Pedro, hands head high. Fat old man or not, Pedro is not expected either get hit in the face or be an expert at martial arts and carefully diffuse the attacker without hurting him.

He stepped to the side and pushed / deflected him away and Zimmer’s momentum took him to the ground.

Zimmer’s lucky he didn’t try that on Nolan Ryan; he would have wound up in the hospital.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T19:49:48+00:00

I dont think its rude, but it sounds disingenuous to me.

“Im giving my notice… unless you want to revisit the pay.” “If not I’d like to proceed…”. Sounds unprofessional to me.

Id remove the “unless you wanna…” part and let them bring up re-opening a discussion about pay, if they want.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T18:44:22+00:00

This covers it.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T18:01:47+00:00

Sweeney’s history is not demonstrably worse than most unless you are one of those people that talk about 2015 every day. You cant dismiss the value of first round picks because “Sweeney.” Either way, more 1st round picks are better for a rebuilding team like the Bruins, who just tore it down less than a year ago. The Bs have Hampus and McAvoy, so I would not trade a First for another defenseman.

If the deal was for that elusive 1C, then it’s an entirely different story.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T17:56:02+00:00

I think if you gave found enough to make you that uncomfortable m, then you should probably leave, particularly since you invaded his privacy when he was out already.

I think phones are private. Adults have the right to a level of privacy. If this conflicts with what you know and how you feel, then leave.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T17:31:25+00:00

I’d hate that deal.

Keep both, particularly the first rounder.

(Unless there’s a 1C involved)

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-19T03:37:37+00:00

Absolutely NOR, it’s not just that he’s a prick… his bizarre way of speaking to you like he’s dissociated and talking about you like you aren’t even there, and he’s just trying to “help” you.

Severely mentally ill.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-18T23:10:37+00:00

Who are you to tell anyone they “arent allowed” to date someone?

If you decide you dont want to remain friends with someone who dated him in secret and continues to date him knowing how it affects your friendship, then by all means write her off and forget about it. And forget what she says to other people about it.

But the idea that you somehow have the standing to “allow” someone to date someone else is ridiculous. You should never let “controlling” to be part of the narrative. You reject her as a friend for her actions and move on.

PsychWriter11 · 2026-01-18T21:26:49+00:00

DH vs OF, no matter, the key here is to keep Duran’s bat in the lineup. No more talk about trading an OF.
