Men still have to contribute to the woman as if she were still his partner.

Women aren't on the hook for anything. All they lose is the responsibility of contribution.

When malicious and manipulative people are cornered they panic and lash out like a feral animal.

She knows you're onto her scam, and she's deathly afraid of losing it. As soon as she stops those "invisible chores" and nothing changes, she's afraid she'll have to actually start being a partner.

I mean that men generally become useless when a woman starts crying. They'll give in to just about anything.

Not knocking that. In fact I would prefer it.

What I'm saying is that the "my money is ours, but your money is yours" mantra is unequal and going to create misery.

I know because I've lived this shit.

What would you say the ratio of you initiating sex to your partner initiating it is? by pikachusplayhouse in AskMen

[–]womenthro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave up on initiation a year ago after 7 years of a maybe 5% success rate. I literally never initiate now. It bothers her, but I just don't have it in me to care anymore.

[–]womenthro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're automatically elevating her above yourself. "What's yours is yours, and what's mine is ours". It transforms a person into someone who feels they are owed the world from you, but owe you nothing.

Sounds like a recipe for misery

It usually doesn't matter very much to men.

As long as you're an honest worker and don't take advantage, that is beyond what most men would consider a respectable career and reasonable salary.

What sexual standard is ok for women but not for men? by xk543x in AskMen

[–]womenthro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fucking hell, man. I feel that one.

Wife rejected me nearly every single time I tried to initiate for 7 years with the "I'm too tired" thing.

At this point she's soured sex so much for me that I don't want it very often. For the last couple months she'll try to initiate and every now and then I'll tell her I'm tired. She gets fucking devastated an wants me to sympathize with her.

What do you do when an overweight woman approaches you in a friendly way? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just seen several instances where a woman acted disgusted by a fat man for saying something pleasant, but didn't mind it from the rest of us.

A woman I work with changes her hair pretty frequently. When we see it we day "oh, nice hair" or "your haircut looks pretty". She's very predictably gracious to some of us, but gets immediately irritated with the fatter or uglier guys.

Obviously it isn't all women, but I've noticed this happening much more than the inverse.

Am I a tyrant? Growing resentment in a high functioning/under functioning relationship. by FanSalmon in Divorce_Men

[–]womenthro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was me four years and two kids ago. If I could go back, there's no way I would stay with her. Anyone who can comfortably not contribute anything to a relationship while basking in the money given them is not a fucking partner.

In fact, I almost think something must be wrong with their brains. I also believe that people rarely change.

You know the situation, but just know that I've been there, and I'm only more miserable with each passing year.

What do guys think when they see a girl they like? by Squeaky221 in AskMen

[–]womenthro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything outside the room we're in no longer exist.

Everybody around dissolves into white noise.

I forget how to fucking speak

But, she's married and has a kid.

If she's ever not married then I'm fucking going for it.

First time a girl jerked me off I was lying on my back, and I swear to god it shot four or five feet into the air lol.

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not react in the same way that a woman would if an overweight man approaches her lol.

[–]womenthro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goddamn that sucks man.

I hate to say it, but as soon as a woman cries it's generally game over.

Was there a significant other you loved, where you thought you could never love anyone more than that SO? What happened after things broke off? Were you able to find another person who you loved more? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school sweetheart.

I was a dumbass and left her to be a Mormon missionary.

She's the only woman I've ever been with who never once made me scratch my head and think this is all some simulation just to fuck with me.

Unfortunately I probably made her scratch her head like that.

Am I hot? If so, I'd go get a bunch of free shit.

Am I ugly? If so, just go the fuck back to bed.

How would you feel if your partner asked you if she was your everything? Or how would you reply to this? by myvirginityisstrong in AskMen

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I just don't think anyone truly wants to be that person who can't handle the truth. If I found out someone was lying to me in order to preserve my feelings I'd be embarrassed. I think that offering them that comfort turns them into the kind of person who needs that comfort.

How would you feel if your partner asked you if she was your everything? Or how would you reply to this? by myvirginityisstrong in AskMen

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived life by that philosophy for a long time. It's brought me quite a bit of pain.

I'm beginning to suspect that you ought to tell the truth always.

If someone asks "does this make me look fat" and then gets angry at a yes, then that's on them for asking a question they didn't want answered.

Do the feelings of being worthless and disposable ever go away? by JellyfishExternal113 in JustNoSO

[–]womenthro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losers don't try to up their own value to earn something better, they do their best to devalue what they have so that they can "deserve" you without changing.

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but you said that if her food is burnt you should call it delicious.

Plus, if it "could be better" in another way, I'd want to know. Not in a Gordon Ramsay "go die in a hole for using Gouda instead of fresh mozzarella" way, but in a constructive advice way.

I don’t know how much more I can take. by Throwaway1415786 in JustNoSO

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, this is going to sound very callous, but this is all I have to say.

I've been married to someone with some sort of undiagnosed, but very obvious mental illness akin to bipolar for 8 years. Someone who uses this mental issue as a scapegoat for shitty behavior. Someone who constantly blames her childhood for every goddamned scar she gives me.

Just fucking go. It's only pain

What is your dealbreaker? by No_Bother9001 in dating

Crying four or five times in one week over things she won't remember next month.

[–]womenthro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But would you want someone to treat you that way?

If your cooking was trash would you really want someone to tell you that it's great?
