I wish more men were like this. Don’t try to solve the problem unless I ask. Generally, I know how to solve it myself. I just want you to say “that really sucks” and show a tiny bit of feeling

Spoiler alert: women don't want sympathy from men. They want strength, money, and a big dick.

They can get sympathy from other women, and they don't even mind if it mostly fake.


How many Romanian women did you really traffic?

I don't know you personally, but if you have another year and a half, your odds are good.

We do “Do you just want to vent or do you want feedback”. Like you said, it works pretty well.

I’m not texting my fiancé that my shawarma fell apart though.

It’s ok. But if she tells you flat out that’s what she wants, try to do it. I’ve had so many fights start out with me saying “I just want you to listen and sympathize” only to have them mansplain a solution I had already come to.

It helps if you can actual feel things too.

I say "solutions or sympathy?" as a reflex so much my wife pre-emptively blurt out "SYMPATHY!"

An old, wise colleague of mine told me this "solutions or sympathy?" trick a few weeks before my wedding a long time ago and it's likely the best marital advice ever given to me.

She doesn't have to. The OT already taught me.

It will just never make sense.

And I don’t understand why men pass up a perfectly good bathroom to pee outside, especially in mosquito season.

There are just things that make no sense for each of us.

I've been peeing outside since I could pee myself, so over 40 years.

Never once has a skeeter got me on the pecker.

Now that I've said that, I'm going to get got the next time I pee in my backyard (likely tonight).

About 5 years into our 20+ marriage, my husband learned that it's best to ask...are you asking for help towards a solution or do you just want me to listen? I tell him and the majority of the time it works!
