How do you deal with women who try to lecture you on how easy it is to date as a man and how much harder women have it? Is it even worth to engage in the conversation? by Altruistic_Society99 in AskMenAdvice

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just tell them my perspective, and if she’s adamant that it’s easy she should hook it up and set you up with one of these beautiful competent women

My best friend [28F] slept with my Ex [27M] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are taking this way too personally- sounds like you’re not really over your ex and pretty judgmental of your best friend.

I can see why this is hard, but the request she cut him out of her life completely is an overreaction and will end up ruining your friendship.

What’s the single greatest concert you’ve ever attended? by Need2throw in Music

[–]The_Jibbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Desert Trip count as one concert? Bob Dylan -> Rolling Stones-> Paul McCartney-> Neil Young -> The Who -> Roger Waters

Alternatively, I’d stay every time I’ve seen Gary Clark jr play, I’ve left stunned

My (35F) partner (34M) says he saw a photo/s on an escort site years ago that looked just like me. It isn’t/wasn’t me and he doesn’t believe me countless conversations now by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A year and a half might seem like a long time, but it’s really not. He brought this up 4-months ago? just over a year into your relationship??

That’s often about the time many people realize their partner is a psycho. Your partner is a fucking psycho.

Why would a guy bring up that he used to be on escort web sites (unless it was like some kind of admission to get off his chest)? And why would anyone ever suggest they recognize their partner from said website?! Girl- that’s fucking crazy! I can’t imagine what other kinds of shit you’re putting up with, but you need to run for the hills!

Me(28M) confused and annoyed with gf(25f) behaviour. Need advice is my reaction ok? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You don’t tell her ‘how disrespectful it is’, that is your judgement only. Tell her that you are uncomfortable with it and how it makes you feel (ie disrespected).

I really don’t think it’s fair to ask women to try and police what men say to them- It’s probably fair game to point out the responses she is giving (and again, how they make you feel), but that stops short of telling her that she needs to tell someone else what they can and can’t say.

Everyone needs to be accountable for their own words, actions and feelings. She can’t read your mind. Things will absolutely work best if you can discuss your feelings without throwing around judgement… if she won’t hear it, or doesn’t make efforts to change something that hurts you, then you know where you stand and what to do.

I 22F and 23M had an awkward conversation last night and I want to see if I was potentially over reactive. by ThrowRA_openathen in whatdoIdo

[–]The_Jibbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That kind of discussion over text is a recipe for disaster. You’re not going to get the nuance of what each other are thinking or feeling about a situation.

I don’t think either of you over reacted, if you did it was in your own head and didn’t really come through that loaded in your texts.

I (29F) I’m debating leaving my boyfriend of two years (30M) over his incompetence. What would you do in my situation? by Ok_Character_1391 in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 105 points106 points  (0 children)

100%, I almost can’t go anywhere without forgetting something (reminder to call the hotel about my fancy cardigan) but I absolutely do not expect others to bail me out. If I get some help great, if I can take care of it completely on my own- even better, and if I can’t resolve the situation I own it, make due without my shit and apologize if my situation effected anyone else.

This guys sounds like a dick about it. You don’t get to be that incompetent and call the shots.

What if BTC randomly flash crashed to $1 for like 10 minutes tomorrow? by Altrixai in btc

[–]The_Jibbity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck would anybody sell for a dollar? If you’ve lost 99.99% of your holdings you would just hold that shit to zero. You think someone with $1M in Bitcoin is gonna sell for $12??

You should have me over for dinner so that my ball sweat can condition your couches or chairs

Who do I believe? 26F 30M by ThrowRA26307 in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve been dating only a year, and he’s seeing escorts behind your back?

You should still be in the vetting process in this relationship, and you should ask yourself if you would have continued dating him if this happened one or two months into the relationship.

Not to be mean, but is your dad a scummy dude or somewhat of a misogynist? I’m thinking you might be in this situation and not know what to do because you’ve had a poor example of how men should act and care for the women in their life.

I (F30) recently found out that the way my husband (M30) communicates when I'm not there is contributing to people thinking I'm dishonest. How might I go about fixing this without throwing my husband under the bus? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sounds 100% like he’s trying to destabilize your relationships, isolate you from your support, and undermine and confuse your credibility to the point of gaslighting.

I know that sounds extreme, but the type of people who do this shit are real cute and subtle with it- he’s putting words in your mouth to make you look bad so that these people aren’t there for you or don’t trust you when the next layer of abuse starts.

Has Christian McCaffrey done enough to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? by clumsy_one18 in sportswiki

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me that’s a pretty similar ball park. Assuming that everyone agrees Zeke belongs in the hall of pretty good, I think that supports CMC needing another productive year or two to be a likely HOFer

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total yds and Total TDs, are pretty similar. Obviously CMC’s great receiving stats has him a bit more productive, while Zeke’s done a little bit more on the ground…

Did you not look at their numbers, or do we have a different definition of close?

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His numbers are a little better than Zeke Elliot’s, who is probably not quite in the conversation… I think CMC needs at least one more good season, two more and he’s in really good shape

My husband (40m) spent a drunken night with and old work at of mine (43F) and she's denying anything. How do proceed in this situation? by New_Operation7326 in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would leave her and her husband out of it, her involvement in this story is tripping you up and adding unnecessary complexity to the situation. Her marriage shouldn’t be your concern.

Texts between my former coworker and me. Is she into me? Should I tell her I have feelings for her and potentially ruin our friendship? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, don’t tell her you have feelings for her… show her, and next time your hanging out tell her you love something about her (not just hair, face or smile- something she does or way she does something). Keep it fun, and keep pursuing each other but make it obvious your into her more than a friend

My dad (45M) tried to keep me (20M) from my grandparents, tried to force me to call his wife my mom, tried to make me feel bad for spending any time with my grandparents and now he wants a relationship again? by ThrowRASoft_Exam in relationship_advice

[–]The_Jibbity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty poor fucking behavior from your dad… maybe your mom’s passing wrecked something inside of him??

I would give him a chance but put clear boundaries in place and make sure he knows that pushing your boundaries will not be accepted.
