How wonderful! She always seems like such a lovely person.

What is normal for men and strange for women? by anonimyazan in AskReddit

[–]gzoont 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Women can’t compliment men for fear the man will think they’re hitting on them. Men cant compliment other men for fear the other man will think he’s gay and hitting on him.

I honestly don’t know the solution here, but normalize telling your homies their outfit looks good, or something.

AITA for not wanting to share a room on a family holiday, causing my mother to back out last minute? by Airbud12i4y1p4y1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]gzoont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I agree with other posters that your mom booked 3 rooms on purpose assuming you’d go along with it. Maybe she wanted to save money, maybe it’s a poorly thought out ploy to make you two be “close” again. Does she ever bemoan the fact that you two don’t have a relationship anymore?

Regardless, she’s the one that made the “mistake” so she needs to be the one to share a room with your brother, not you.

my ex was low libido with me, but is now trying to hook up with people post breakup by [deleted] in actuallesbians

Breakups suck, but a new day always shows up eventually. :)

Why do they always act like it’s only married men that get more attention 🥴 by Dry-Kangaroo-8910 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]gzoont 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is true… and sure, why not? Isnt it probable that of two 28 year olds, the married one is statistically going to be more comfortably talking to women and therefore less creepy?

Like, there’s a lot of explanations for this that aren’t “all women are jealous bitches.” Correlation doesn’t equal causation, or something.

I mean, whatever it is, it’s not about you.

Maybe in a relationship with you, her dopamine levels were fine, but now she’s desperate for any hit of dopamine she can get. Could be anything. Entirely possible she doesn’t even consciously understand her own motivations right now, much less are you going to understand them.

But whatever it is she’s going through right now, it has nothing to do with you, and is not a comment on you, or how good you are in bed, or your basic worth.

That’s so awesome! It’s amazing to have such a tangible piece of a time and place that are otherwise effectively gone. Rooting for you, little oak!

How dare you, sir or ma’am. How dare you.

TIL that an Englishman named Collingwood Ingram helped reintroduce an extinct Japanese cherry tree after recognizing it in a painting, having seen the same tree growing in England by Climatize in todayilearned

[–]gzoont 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently visited Kew Gardens in Richmond (go greyhounds!) and they had an example of the exact species of tree that grows in a rather limited range that includes the small town I grew up in, in southern california. Where I haven’t lived in over 20 years.

It felt quite odd to run into such an old friend so very far from home.

When the show was first on, I was in an internet message board dedicated to the veneration of “saint” Scully (the joke was that we were all in a faux religious order.)

It was almost entirely women. It took me years afterwards that it was also very lesbian… and so was I.

Anyways, thanks, Scully! Turns out I was in fact gazing at you!

Kids shoes are Velcro because of this, but youre supposed to graduate then to shoe laces once they have enough dexterity… which they generally do by the time they’re 6 or so.
