   I love when someone tries to put female feelings into some rough approximation of a man’s, because guys are so utterly, totally, COMPLETELY divorced from any female presence in childhood, school, and life that they can’t even take that step.

   It gets kind of old how literal all ‘our’ guys are. They just cannot step outside their own minds for even a second, they read every piece of text as if it’s machine code, strict operating instructions to be taken 100% literally.

   We jokingly call everyone “autistic” but dammit I’m genuinely worried at how terrible many of us are at reading people, inflection, body queues.

     I’m gonna give out grades for these.

     Student 1: B-. No shit, we know that. You miss the point, but understand the assignment at least.

     Student 2: F. Sorry kid, you need to spend hours talking w/ your mom, or a sister, or a cousin, and just drink in the way she thinks and acts. You’re incomplete as you stand right now. Life will only be more perplexing and painful for you until you understand the way this works.

     Student 3: F. Doesn’t understand the assignment, either. The kind of guy who’ll get in endless, unneccessary fights w/ a gf because he can’t just sit and listen to her bitch about non-problems

     Student 4: F. Brown mindset incapable of generalization. Retard.

     Student 5: C-. Another guy who can’t get over his knee-jerk “it’s not FAIR though, they’re DIFFERENT THINGS!!!!” impulse.

     This habit bugs me because guys need to be yoked together to make burns like this perform to their pax potential. A few years back I started saying “eh, that’s loose-pussy energy” and it worked out well when you wanna incite some seething.

     If we could get THIS to catch on we’d really be cooking with gas.

     “Haha u have 5’2” vibes lol”

     OOF that’s an armor penetrator in the right hands.

     @nierenstein See that’s the rub though. Guys want this neat, expansive metaphor that works in 5 different layers that map neatly to the real world. It’s a simple thing, it’s telling you that if you want to understand how she feels when you say you’re five foot three, it’s close to how you feel when she says she’s sucked fifty wieners.

     That’s it. Start and end. It’s a simple package but they just wanna treat it like a ZIP file of a take

     @WashedOutGundamPilot The comparison isn't perfect but I take the meaning. That said I don't think any dudes are clueless enough to brag about being short. It does make me wonder what copes are used to try selling women on short guys, though (that is, the equivalent within this analogy to the "don't you want a girl who's good in bed?" cope that some guys will pull on single dudes)

     I get this sentiment so often w/ the kids, where I’m trying to give them something accessible and familiar to decode the way women operate and they get hung up on it like a robot trying to parse aphorisms. It’s bleak, because it’s the kind of thing they’re smart enough to figure out, they just refuse to because they feel instead of think. .

     This is the attitude that ends up w/ a surprise breakup when they DO get a GF because she asks “do you really love me?“ and they get WAY too literal and destroy things with “well IDK what love feels like how can I be sure if I even…..“

     @nierenstein It’s just not gonna work, the worlds of male & female are too strange to be easily translated in a 1:1 ratio. It’s like 2 vastly diff. languages where a single word from one needs 3 sentences to define in the other

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I would think the more comparable attribute to a guy's height is a woman's weight, on the visceral level any way.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot So already from reading this example, the problem is that he is using precise numbers. Girls work through *feelings* and *hunches*, not specific measurements or terms.
     
     It's not that the guy is precisely 5'6 that is unattractive to women, it's that he *seems* short. He might actually be quite tall, but if he slumps and mopes about and is boring, he will *seem* short to the girl.
     
     By contrast, a guy who was ACTUALLY 5'6 could *seem* tall if he had excellent posture with a commanding presence, constantly surrounded by famous people and beautiful women.

     @hogankhan @WashedOutGundamPilot I think it's simpler than that. Can't see the replies, but I'm encountering a worryingly large number of people unable to process an allegory.

     "They're different things" actually bolsters the point here, these people just run in the wrong direction with it. Yes. They are different things, because men and women are different. Because they are different, they respond differently to different types of pressures. Hence, to get the response out of women you see women get out of men, you *have* to use different pressures.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Niggerbrains can't tell the difference between statements about themselves and statements about groups they're a part of lmao
     (Actually this applies to women as well, like when you say "Men are stupid" and everyone will laugh and agree but say "Women are stupid" and most women will get personally offended)

     @MeBigbrain @WashedOutGundamPilot all of Twitter liberals and nonwhites are like that, it’s insufferable, designed to derail debates, makes it feel like you’re trying to talk to npcs (or, well, brownoids) 😩

     Well that's what happens when you just toss dudes in to the public abuse system and say "you'll figure it out" turns out a lot of them don't. That shit is one of the main reasons PUAs are a thing. People that treat essential shit like that as a secret test of character and then get mad when 3/4 of them fail need to to be bashed sensless.

     @SettlerLife What bugs me is that they’re supposed to be the smart ones. If you have a high enough IQ to spot the most subtle eddies and currents in the water to sound the alarm on an obscure Early Life call, I’d like you to use SOME of that mental horsepower to observe people and understand baseline social cues.

     Smart white guys can teach themselves not to be autistic, happens a lot already. I don’t like guys who treat it like this impossible task, it’s a quitter thing. Nobody likes that attitude, particularly when it’s coming from someone talented enough to succeed.
