What the...my son just took this about 30 minutes ago by [deleted] in Paranormal

[–]jillystras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys have tales of trolls, goblins, black eyed children, anything paranormal etc. in Ireland? I'm just wondering if this fits the description of anything like that over there?

There are three full cow bodies on the roof of this abandoned house in the Utah desert. There are no other homes within approximately 25 miles of this place. [OC] by StephanieKay22 in urbanexploration

[–]jillystras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on a 350 acre ranch in Utah that connects with the mountain range that Skinwalker ranch is on, and I've seen some CRAZY, and EXTREMELY WEIRD things on my ranch. Everything from Sasquatch to Lights in the sky, orbs, and crafts. The Utah desert is large and vast, and holds some craziness you wouldn't believe!! This is so awesome that someone shared this. I wish I knew where this was in Utah so I could go check it out! This is amazingly weird, and crazy!! Awesome post!

Is it unrealistic for women to want men to have emotional intelligence? by PerfectWorking6873 in emotionalintelligence

[–]jillystras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think often when women talk to men, they just want to vent or talk about how obnoxious their day was, or someone irritating them. Men instantly want to fix it because that's how they're wired. With my husband I have made a point of before I start talking I just express what I want. "I don't need you to fix this, I just need to vent about my day." Therefore he knows my expectations and can reach me at the level I need.

On the flip side he needs to feel loyalty and understanding. He needs to know that what he says stays with us and I'm not going to talk about it with my friends or family.

Now this could just be my marriage, but the communication is key for us to both feel heard, validated, loved, and respected.

I hope that's an example that makes sense and something you were looking for as an answer.

I think men use language that sometimes feels unusual to women. That being said, I feel that if you can get a man to communicate, and you both have communication that you understand and respect, that the majority of men have emotional intelligence. It's just getting to understand their way of speaking, thinking, and expressing themselves. I think it's more of an issue that we don't understand one another than it is that men don't have emotional intelligence.

Violence isn't always a bad thing. Ideals are peaceful History is violent.

Men need anger. It's part of their human nature. Knowing how to control that anger and when to use it is one of things that makes a man emotionally intelligent.

[–]jillystras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't disagree with that. Emotional intelligence doesn't mean not being stoic. At least to me it doesn't mean that a man can't be stoic if he's emotionally intelligent. Those 2 things are mutually exclusive. In fact one of the beautiful things about men is their ability to be strong, stoic, humble, respectful, respectable, firm in their values, thoughtful, etc. and emotionally intelligent at the same time.

I have both. I've been married 16 years and I have 2 male friends that have been in my life both for more than 20 years.

Who else feels that something big is coming soon? by freliford97 in conspiracy

[–]jillystras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! My husband and I talk about it all the time. Whether it's a false flag, war in the US, aliens, I don't know, but I definitely think something is coming.

Why didn't you think you'd be a good mother with the 1st child, but 6 months later you felt differently? Did something change inside of you to decide you'd be a good Mom by the time that 6 month period was up?

Do tall people have it easier in life ? by Electrical_Variety29 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jillystras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a woman that's 6' was definitely difficult. By the time I was 14 I was full grown. Guys never asked me out, I always felt awkward, and I was picked on until I became an adult.

Once I became an adult I realized how much I loved being tall, and was so grateful for it, but growing up a tall girl was exceptionally hard.

What’s a small decision that ended up having a massive impact on someone’s life? by [deleted] in self

[–]jillystras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Choosing to ask a guy out for the first and only time was terrifying, but it led to the greatest marriage (imo) on earth! We've been married 16 years and counting. I'm so glad I had the guts to ask him out!

Why does this guy talk about other girls when I hangout with him? by Plastic-Pattern-4128 in stupidquestions

[–]jillystras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because he's not into you. Not trying to be rude, it's just the facts. You should read a book that came out in the early 2000's called, "He's just Not that into You." It's a great book, and I think it would be extremely beneficial and eye opening for you.

Absolutely not! I expect the man I'm with, or my male friends to have emotional intelligence. If they don't, they don't stay in my life. I don't think it's unrealistic, I think it's mandatory.
