that's weird, maybe that's the outcome she expected and it played into some with procrastination power play? it's like "Dog ate my homework"... or maybe it's about privacy
She wanted an overhaul mod for her favorite game that took up more space than she had. I uninstalled a bunch of stuff but it still wasn’t enough (tiny 500GB M2), so I got her a replacement drive. It was more work to clone it because of the setup, but she’s better off this way. It just never seems to be enough.
Someone posted a “the way men love” post the other day that really hit me hard. Women think we’re being goofy or they just don’t get it most of the time.
A little, but it wasn’t about the money. I got a good deal, she just totally saw it as a lazy solution when it was actually the more-time-consuming way. Technical issues, but yeah.
What a gentleman, he even tipped with 2 thank yous. But anyone got depressed by the unfair price table? The time it would take to ride around the block...
I don't have a picture of flowers but here's a picture of a parakeet. I hope it makes you feel appreciated. I'm going to buy my amazing husband some flowers when I get back from my trip and that's because of you, so thank you 😊
Food is flowers for men. Get him his favorite sandwich, order him lunch to work the way flowers are delivered, or any food yummy food surprise, and it will be like getting flowers.
My husband hates them, so it would be pretty useless to get them for him. He gets lots of nice gifts though, and tons of thank yous and appreciation. Far more than I get, honestly. None of my female friends get thanks from their husbands for taking on the bulk of housework and childcare while also holding down high-paying jobs. It's a regular subject of discussion.
Yeah, I dislike these posts for the generalizations they welcome. There are many inconsiderate, ungrateful people regardless of gender. There are many hardworkers who would appreciate a little appreciation and kindness across genders. I get that the men who relate to this meme want to express themselves, too, but I'm also annoyed that the general message is that "women are ungrateful" or "men aren't appreciated" and people see it and think it's true across the board
I guess it's because imgur is so male, it's constantly full of how men are mistreated. With of course the implication that it's women mistreating them. But so many of the things that are complained about aren't gendered. Women are pretty famously the ones who get the thankless, unpaid work dumped on them by society. And they certainly aren't thanked for earning money. Everyone wants to feel appreciated, but it always seems to be men vs women on here. As if women are getting all kinds of /1
I got flowers once from my girlfriend with whom I lived with. She got them from the guy she was cheating with and gave them to me so that she could bring them home without answering awkward questions.
This is a huge cultural problem. There's an expectation for women to be the default domestic worker, and for men to be the default provider for financial and emotional support. Both of these expectations come with it a assumption that it should be done without question or recognition. A main difference is that for women the praise is usually done on the front end whereas for men they might never get it until, as many people pointed out, during their funeral and sometimes not even that.
"fun" fact, sex workers need to be social workers too, a lot of unloading of heavy things, and being like 'damn, just fuck me and leave'
i had a friend who cammed, and one of the most sad things i learned was the new years day, christmas day, any holiday that involved family, was the busiest time for them.
they worked on xmas cos it was good money and... um... we'll they didn't get on great with their family. Sex worker didn't like her fam makes money of perverts who are not liked by their fam
To be fair, I think there's both types. The lonely dudes that are seeking intimacy and the dudes that are just perverted misogynists (generally the conservative Bible thumpers)
oh you feel like i am calling /you/ a pervert? there isn't anything wrong with being a pervert you know, i partake in plenty of kinks and fetishes, pervert is a loaded term, but i mean... i'm not /not/ perverted
It's not about the pervert comment so much as the juxtaposition between the sex worker who doesn't like her family vs. the perverts who aren't liked by their family. It implies that there's something inherently wrong with the guys that makes their family not want to be around them whereas with the sex worker the reason she isn't around her family is because she doesn't like them and not the other way around. You're assuming the worst of the guys
The way information is presented can determine if there is a partisan bias. That's why Fox 'News' exists, to normalize the conservative bias. In this case your characterization of people who use adult services as 'perverts' could be construed as bias against them, but I read your usage more as an informal colloquialism.
fair fair, i agree that information can be portrayed with a bias, it's why i favour reuters for sourcing news
i guess it depends a lot on societal views on the word pervert, i'm in a lot of kink scene adjacent stuff, and its certainly bandied about with disregard for any negative interpretations
I mean, I think the people who pay for sex work have a responsibility to ensure that the workers they hire are doing it consentually and not under threat of violence, and I think there are many people who do not do anything to ensure that, and those people are monsters. Not saying that's the case here, or that all are monsters, but I know plenty of people who have paid for sex workers when they know that person has a pimp who beats them.
When I talk about sex work being real work I'm talking about people being in charge of their own bodies and profits. I'm talking about cam girls and strippers and OF content creators and escorts who are happy doing what they do. Someone with a pimp who beats them is different, there's sex *work* and then there's sex *trafficking*.

They sell them at the grocery store. Don't wait for someone else to buy them for you. Treat yourself. You deserve all the flowers now.

Put them in the kitchen table in front of your whole family. "Look at my lovely flowers". Do not break eye contact. Then remain silent.

Women get flowers frequently but men only get them on their funeral day. Make the change and be different.

Buddy no, how are you not getting it. You expressed pity for men who need sex workers to vent emotions, then in your last sentence insulted them.

pervert wasn't meant to insult, in the comment you responded to i expressed that, i also didn't intend to express pity.
i think that men need to learn to communicate effectively and not have to resort to paying sex workers for social work.

Sex work is real work but therefore people who pay for sex work also aren't monsters. It's a business, the only evil thing here is capitalism.
