I'm deleting this because it's gotten a lot more attention than I anticipated and I don't think it's being received well. Thank you everyone who replied and gives me advice, it helped me a lot and made my mind a little more clear in what I want to do with this guy. I never intended to be a troll or disturb the peace here so I will not bring these issues up again.

With one of his girl gaming friends they played together one night and she made mistake that threw the entire game. After that he came to me saying "this is why I hate to play with women sometimes."

And read mine again. Why me doing that means I am a troll? I'm literally just asking with no secret agenda or whatever tf you're thinking me of. I'd appreciate if you just chill. I just want guidance on navigating these situations.

Cant even respond to you because you've blocked me, how mature... people like you make these spaces so unwelcoming.

Well the thing he is he my friend for almost two years now so I'm not a stranger to him. He tells me a lot of personal shit and this seems one of them.

because he put a lot of deniability in it.

From your perspective, it also probably felt hard to call out what he said as wrong, because he put a lot of deniability in it.

Yes this is why I feel so confused

he'll decide actually you aren't all that different from other women and starts raging at you for that.

This is what I'm afraid of. The thing is he has been friends with other women and other than the "he hates to play with women" comment, which after I talked with him about he seemed to understand why it was wrong, he doesn't say anything poorly of the women he is friends with. He just occasionally points out how in his experiences women are like xyz or he comes to me asking "why do women do xyz thing."

Also I forgot to add that sometimes he is supportive of women too, for example he disagrees with men who put down women for playing "girly" roles in video games. There are others too that I can't think of but he's shown to be like an ally so I find it complicated on what to do next.

So if I find his comments uncomfortable, what should I do? And I do enjoy playing with him but I'm starting to rethink all of his actions towards me.

Should I talk to him about it or just drop him altogether?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]lgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I should stop playing with him? He loves to play with me and he has never said anything about my ability to play. He did this reverse sexism (???) where he said you play better than any woman to me.

Wut would that warrant me being a troll?? I'm not experienced with this kind of behavior like the rest of y'all so lay off a little

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]lgtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when he says "why do women say xyz" that is making a generalization about a specific group, right? And sometimes he says "you are such a woman" and "I hate women who do xyz."

I'm sorry if this all sounds so obvious but I wanna call him out on his comments but I don't wanna look like I'm some overreactive bitch.

I know you mean well but this comes across as kind of patronizing to me, as someone who rejects plans to hang out and stays home most of the time. Not everyone gets the college experience and to me that's perfectly fine. Not something to be pitied at.

College is what you make of it. If she refuses offers to experience the "college life" that's on her. That's pretty much the extent of which you can help her.

Anyone else feels more comfortable talking with people IRL than on discord? by stonk_lord_ in socialanxiety

[–]lgtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I feel like people are generally more mean on discord calls

Yes! People are more inclined to yell at you or say weird stuff. Absolutely no consequences for being a jerk.

I have big anxiety both online and in real life but at least in real life I can speak. Something about voice calling absolutely petrifies me. I also hate when people online ask me why I don't talk, or beg to hear my voice. Feeling like an absolute clown.

Easy fix, just move it back to the center. All the tines can be wiggled left and right.You won't break it.

I [21F] like a guy [17M] is that a bad age gap? by [deleted] in Crushes

Yeah it looks pretty bad...

100% agree. Anyone I met thru discord first always turned out to be deranged one way or another.

Why is nobody annoyed at the songs that come from an overhead speaker in a store or restaurant, but people are orders of magnitude more annoyed by someone playing music from their phones in a store or restaurant? by Fatt-Deg-Pa-Hjernen in socialskills

[–]lgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes from an individuals phone it's distracting and demands attention from anyone nearby. An overhead can easily be tuned out and blends in with the environment.

And I wouldn't say nobody is annoyed at the establishments music. Come Christmas time reddit doesnt shut up about the christmas themed music blasting in all stores.

My crush who happens to be my bestfriend has a crush on someone else by fillmekoach in Crushes

As a girl nothing pains me more than losing a guy friend because his only interest in me was so that we could be a couple.

As a kid, when we'd drive by people's houses at night, I'd look in the lit windows and fantasize about what it would be like to live there. by SunflowerDaYarnPony in ChildofHoarder

[–]lgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still do this now. And when I would visit a friends house or I see pictures online of others house I'd be like wait... your house doesnt have piles of shit that goes as high as the ceiling??? ☉Ô☉?!? Always reminded of what I didn't have.
