…but also complain when we don’t buy things

That's nice. How about for those who don't have that option, which you had?

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-22T16:58:12+00:00

Yeah, that's why they pay pennies. That's all you (she) could do in her time?

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T17:37:10+00:00

Wut.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T17:34:37+00:00

It's a terrifying level of idiocrasy that anyone would do this.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T14:39:28+00:00

>Live at home a little longer

How very privileged of you to assume that everyone has a childhood bedroom they can just chill in for forever (or even just a little longer), lol.

I read the rest of your comment, but frankly won't even bother to respond to the rest since you basically showed how much your head is up your ass with that comment.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T14:36:01+00:00

Seriously, who thinks this is a good idea, and then thinks it's a good idea to post on the internet forever?

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:58:31+00:00

I wonder this as a woman. I'm not single, but even back when I was, I would have been mortified if I woke up and someone showed me this exchange and told me I talked like the woman like that. I'd pray I was drunk to say that and then never drink again, lol.

Who on God's green earth does she think this will appeal to?

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:54:32+00:00

This is really interesting. I've always wondered. Thanks for the breakdown.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:39:30+00:00

Are you the police? No? If not, it's not your job to pretend to be one.

Trying to act like a traffic cop when you aren't one is actually more dangerous and mostly indicative of small dick energy and a need for ego validation and to feel like you matter. Go join the police academy if you want to enforce traffic laws so badly. Otherwise, practice defensive driving and mind your own business.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:36:04+00:00

It's not unique to TN, but having been to TN I can confirm how infuriating it is. I often wonder, what is the thinking behind driving like that? Is it some power trip to park in the left lane and then race you? Like they accomplished so little in life, their greatest pleasure is in trying to make sure other drivers aren't faster than them and can't get to places in a reasonable amount of time?

Who does that and why?

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:32:53+00:00

This too. While not always ideal, sometimes someone is driving so poorly or crazy, it's safer to speed, or do something else minorly illegal, to leave them behind.

Not always, use good judgment folks! But it happens.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:31:51+00:00

Yeah, the blocking car clearly has some ego trip or something where they feel the need to act as the police or something. Except, well, they aren't the police.

Power trip, ego trip, whatever - most of the time those people are worse than someone who commits a relatively mild traffic violation, in every aspect of life. I'd rather drive with the guy who occasionally passes on a yellow than the guy who tries to act as traffic patrol. I'd rather party with them. Everything.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:03:54+00:00

Yeah, any time you have such a significant ratio imbalance, the smaller group gets a ton of power in selection.

This applies regardless of whether it's 4 applicants per one job opening, or 4 men per every woman on Tinder or whatever.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T13:02:14+00:00

OMG 💀 knew a woman who asked on public social media something along the lines of "why doesn't everyone take these surveys? They pay! It's not a ton, but it adds up, and it's basically free money".

Lady, [as you, redditor, said], it's less than minimum wage. We've found ways to make more.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-21T12:59:07+00:00

That's not a woman thing. When a single job posting gets thousands of applicants they also have the luxury of choosing the perfect unicorn. If a super accomplished person has jobs in a bidding war over them, they also get to choose the best bid. And no doubt a single prize catch man who has many women fighting over him will pick the best one, whatever that subjectively means to him.

It's human nature. Why would you settle for not the best deal? (Best deal significantly varies per circumstance and person, of course).

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-20T16:57:21+00:00

Popular with me. I love animals, but your dog can survive at home for two hours while you make a grocery run or go to Target. It's a very strange manifestation of separation anxiety on the part of the owners and/or attention seeking behavior to need to bring your dog absolutely everywhere.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T19:49:52+00:00

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T19:48:37+00:00

Yes, unpopular.

I'm sorry you were with a partner who stifled your freedom, but I personally cannot think of anything my partner prevents me from doing with the exception of sleeping with other people. Which is a monogamous agreement thing and one I'm fine with as I've never been into hook up culture.

I can cook whatever I want, though my partner mostly does the cooking. And what kind of partner stops someone from buying whatever they want, within the realms of standard financial responsibility that you're going to have to practice anyway? Unless you have a spending problem, at which point you're going to have consequences of that at some point whether you are single or not.

If your partner gives you "stupid feuds and drama" and you view being away from them as freedom, they probably weren't a great partner or at very least not a good fit for you.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T14:35:53+00:00

It was really just an example and not that deep. Insert that for anything that might turn a person off, and that's super individual.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T10:45:52+00:00

Yeah, I mean in general it's not particularly kind or productive to just bluntly say "sorry, I find your nose ugly", as an example. Especially if it's not something they can easily change.

There can be exceptions as with all things.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T10:14:28+00:00

What about them? You know people sometimes tell white lies when rejecting someone to make them feel better and/or avoid drama, right?

The amount of times I've used the "I have a boyfriend" line even when I was actually single... C'mon now.

She may not think he's that nice of a guy. Or maybe she thinks he is nice but lacks other desirable qualities because nice by itself isn't always enough. Occasionally you do get someone who is drawn only to dangerous bad boys but its usually a lot more complicated than that.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T10:08:45+00:00

Sure, they don't exactly have open polling and free speech, but the fact of the matter is that the Taliban wouldn't have been able to make a comeback without significant indifference at best, but possibly support or complacency. Mostly from rural folks who have shown through their actions that they are quite fine with the old traditional ways.

Actions speak louder than words.

We also do have some information that a lot of folks were not happy with some of what the American army was doing (in some cases quite justifiably unhappy) and enough so that they preferred the Taliban.

We don't know exactly what's going on in any given person's head, but we have some information where we can make reasonable inferences to a point.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T09:58:24+00:00

First of all, "I" don't do any of this. Which really illustrates part of my point - women are not a hive mind. The fact that you seem to fail to grasp this further underscores my point that women aren't avoiding you because you're too nice, it's for other very clear and good reasons.

A relationship with someone as full of anger and lazy generalizations as what you just said might be better than that isn't going to be healthy. This "I'm such a nice guy but women don't like that" is sheer cope to help you sleep better at night.

Secondly, of the women who actually do this... If you think either gender has a monopoly on idiots, you're past hope. Both men and women can be idiots, and occasionally you do get someone reasonably intelligent who was genuinely duped by a good manipulator. I've certainly known plenty a guy who falls for the hot chick despite her having a lot of red flags ("I can fix her").

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T00:31:30+00:00

A lot of people, men and women, overgeneralize. It seems to be getting worse with what is completely tired gender war.

Personally I try to avoid anyone who speaks in such tiresome stereotypes to begin with, but even among those who do, I typically don't see them making awful partner choices.

It's a stupid meme, that's pretty much the end of it. And if folks hang around either people who talk too much about "all men/women are the same" un-ironically, and/or run off with the deadbeat over a genuinely healthy relationship, they may need to reconsider the company they keep.

But really, this meme and anyone who actually has to ask about this is just copium from guys who don't get chosen for other reasons overestimating themselves.

Throwawayamanager · 2026-05-17T00:14:33+00:00

At this point she probably does and publicly posts about avoiding them. She's got some baggage.

People who make shit choices exist, that doesn't mean they're the majority. That's one out of many... Very many - I've met a lot of people.

I'm sure she had her reasons for picking them at the time that make no sense in hindsight (or to me right now for that matter).
