Letting Her Go Through Doors First
Na Schi 6 days ago
I hate it to go through the door first, especially when getting into a room with lots of people I barely or font know! Because everyone immediately are focusing on you and you have no time to read the room and prepare, meanwhile my man behind me gets the extra 10 seconds to make an eloquent entrance. Luckily it happens now only rarely that I'm the one who is pushed to enter first, as I clearly communicate my disdain about tis.

Letting Her Steal Your Fries Without Complaining

I am surprised no-one has quoted "Joey doesn't share food!" Maybe I'm the only one here that remembers the '90s. Maybe I'm the only one here that thinks the '90s were about 5 mins ago!

It is one thing to care for the princess in your life and another to treat her like she is incapable of looking after herself.

The gap between the bare minimum and princess, with no "common decency" or "normal" in between is large. To me, bare minimum and princess are equally yuck. Dumb poll.

Why? I do it when I go out cycling - my wife worries if I don't. If she can see where I am and how the ride is progressing, then she is much more relaxed. Why wouldn't I want her relaxed when I'm out riding? For me, it has advantages - if I don't move position for 10 mins and she can't get me on the phone, she'll call an ambulance for me.

Some are normal bur far too many are expecting a submissive s***e as the ideal... there is one in particular that just pisses me off because the irrational is considered good... the stfu about fixing the issue one... that one never made sense to me.

It's a generalisation, but in my experience, women often internalise their problems. Men *have* a problem, and we'd like a solution to the problem. When women have a problem they can feel like they *are* the problem for having a problem. And they don't want or need to feel like you think they need fixing. Most times when my gf talks to me about a problem, she resolves it while talking it through. The other few times, I can totally ask if she wants my suggestions - and if she does want my advice, it's given as a gift. i.e. it's 100% up to her what she does with it.
