Every interaction like that feels like rejection to a young woman


Meanwhile, the man is filled with positive emotions and thinks everything is going well and doesn’t understand what the heck is going on. Men walk away wondering WHY there is even an issue.

It's almost like we wanted our husbands to act like us



Indeed. A woman runs the risk of putting her husband in the friend zone if she inadvertently feminizes him by demanding he act and communicate like a woman. Men have to resist this at all costs.

There were two common words my mom would use "Always" and "Never"... I remember I had it with those two words and one day I said "Don't you know any other words?"
---ONE time my mom was complaining about my behavior and I came back with, "Since you raised me, it's really your fault."

Boy was that a mistake, as logical as it seemed at the time

I don't remember ever using those phrases. Still kind of doubt the veracity of that list.

We were taught in (psychology) graduate school that 10% of people are winners, 80% are non-winners and 10% are losers.

This theory is proven true in group mentality, explaining why so many otherwise educated "mature" adults took the Covid vaccines.

Most people use the 12 phrases because most people fall into the non-winner category.

3. 'I don't need to explain myself to you.' You can almost imagine a little kid saying this one. This phrase is a way for them to avoid any true accountability or genuine communication with the person they are engaging with.


I say this to insecure people who try to tell me the way "they would do it" when asking my rationale for the way I'm doing something.

#5. In a former life, I had to wrangle with the owner of a company who had a go-to saying: "I don't know, you know. Whatever.

Imma do a Jedi mind trick and start saying “ You’re under reacting “ and insinuate that she be more upset with me, lol. I don’t feel like I can reach my full potential as a man until I have achieved the full range of failing women. Certainly, with practice I can disappoint women more. Really, until I’m stabbed to death in my bed, I have work to do, lol.

So if you talk to a woman at all you’re guaranteed to say both of these. I guess we’re ALL a bit emotionally immature.
