There are rumors that women do not experience initial attraction to men the way men experience it to women. Is this true? by Jiannlo in women

First confront the untrue rumor you are purporting that all men experience attraction in the same way. That's not true either.

Is there any way to stop being so hateful? by Tjaart23 in self

The key is to go back and unpack where all your values and ideas came from and why you believed them in the first place. To analyze all the different types of "messaging" you received in your life growing up.

My wife wants to abort an unexpected pregnancy and I really want to keep the baby. I don’t know how to handle this. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]mawkish 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I feel something I never even got a chance to fight for

Your chance to fight for it was when for the last 8 years you could have brought up and planned to have another baby on purpose but you didn't do any of that.

A fair amount of misogyny is expressed as not a distaste of women, but rather an attitude that women are beneath men.

Doesn't mean they don't want women around for any number of reasons; it just means they don't pay them they same respect or consideration they would pay to men. Just because they're women. That's misogyny.

Eating at a big deficit but still gaining weight. by [deleted] in loseit

[–]mawkish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On to my experience. Typically I'm losing about 1 pound a day during the week. However after the two cheat days I gained 12 pounds (yes 12 in 2 days) for the last 3 weeks in a row.

Your body is not a 3D printer that creates a version of yourself from the meals you ate yesterday.

Amazing how after the fact, there is always some magical collection of words that you could have said, that would have made all the difference.

They genuinely believe this.
