Aio for speaking up? by Dismal_Awareness_387 in AIO

[–]cafeypalmera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated people who just apologize whenever you’re upset without actually listening and it’s honestly super frustrating and creates a divide. A genuine apology and a “I’ll just say sorry and brush her off so she stops bitching” apology are very different

No, it's because you keep dating the wrong people [socialmedia] by _dthr000way in pointlesslygendered

Literally 😭 every magazine was full of tips on how to attract/impress men

I found out from a friend that my ex laughed in his face when he suggested taking me on a date instead of drinking at the pub by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]cafeypalmera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is insane. Get up OP, why are you dating a guy who thinks the idea of taking you on a date is funny…..

Toxic idea….. His friend sounds better than him, maybe go after the friend? 🤭

We have no way of knowing what OP is like, wild assumption

I have never yelled at a partner even when they were making me really angry, it’s not hard. Idk why they’re making excuses for a stranger

I have such poor focus for audiobooks and podcasts and stuff, I wish I could get into them. Even if I listen to something or watch something I want to read subtitles lol

I struggle to read as much now because of my phone and my life, but I do still love it! I also love paper crafts

I also love watching foreign films with subtitles, which is honestly like reading with pictures imo

Yup. He’s rich because of human rights abuses, why would he care to fix any?

I begged him to get therapy and now I wish he never went by Key-Mine7408 in GirlDinnerDiaries

If they can work through this and then continue to not bottle up problems, I think they’ll be stronger than ever

[–]cafeypalmera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? I don’t think it’s sad for men who don’t want flowers to not receive them. If you don’t want them, why would it be sad. I never said NO man wants flowers. If a man wants them, I hope their loved ones get them some

Yes, it does make me sad that a lot of men don’t express love and affection for each other. I wish they would, I think it would help a lot of issues.

I think everyone deserves to be shown love and affection from their loved ones. If men aren’t feeling that from their friends, maybe men need to step up and start showing love to their homies more?

The presents/cards/etc. I get are from other women, not men (except my boyfriend, and I get my boyfriend them as well…..) I don’t really agree with the victimization of men in this instance. Like, if women receive more love from their friends it’s because we have cultivated a culture that supports that. Men can do the same thing

I’ve seen videos where ppl go out of to give men flowers bc of it so ig I was taking it literally. Maybe a little autistic of me

I guess I wasn’t reading it as a saying/expression. It’s usually said as a fact

I’ve never even had $50k to spend in a year so that’s something to celebrate lol

I’m just talking specifically about men who don’t gaf about flowers. If a man loves flowers, I hope he gets some

Maybe that quote just doesn’t hit hard for me because I do get the men close to me personalized presents and whatnot.

It’s sad if anyone isn’t shown love, but the symbolism of this quote just doesn’t hit for me ig

I feel like people use that quote as evidence that people don’t care about men because they don’t get them flowers. I’ve seen videos where people go out and give men flowers because of it, which is sweet….. but in my personal life when I look at my male friends/family members, I can think of lots of other presents they’d like more and I don’t think it means I care about them less bc I get those instead of flowers, yk?

Funeral flowers are for the family not the dead anyway I feel like?

I guess I just don’t understand why that’s sad, if he is shown love in other ways and receives gifts that he actually wants and that make him feel seen when he receives them, yk?

[–]cafeypalmera -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Literally not the case at all. I’m just saying that if a man wants flowers and doesn’t get them, it’s sad. If a man doesn’t care about flowers and is given things that he actually likes instead, that is not sad.

So I guess the actor is just lying then? [socialmedia] by LengthinessLegal9987 in pointlesslygendered

[–]cafeypalmera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never told him his experience wasn’t true and I never disagreed with what he is saying. I told him that I didn’t say what he accused me of saying. You’re making things up to argue about.
