@WashedOutGundamPilot @LukeAlmighty @nukie @RupertvonRipp @SuperSnekFriend I had a chick at work who asked me why I’m so understanding, and listen so well. And I’m just like, “you don’t want to know.”
She goes, “No really. What’s the trick?”
Me: “You know how when a 4-year-old cries, you don’t blame the 4-year-old for crying. They’re four, they’re going to cry. All you can do is comfort them.”
Her: “yeah?”
Me: “and how you don’t get mad at a dog for shitting in the yard, because they’re dogs. They’re going to shit in the yard. It’s a thing dogs do.”
Her: “ Yeaaah?”
Me: “well I just expect women to be emotional and not logical. If you’re complaining about something, do you want me to explain to you exactly how to fix it?”
Her: “No. Generally I just want to bitch how about how I’m unhappy.”
Me: “exactly. You don’t think like I do. And I don’t expect you to think like I do. And because I don’t expect you to think like I do, I don’t expect the same standards from you that I would from someone like me.”
Her: “so you don’t get angry at us when we’re being unreasonable, because you just expect us to be unreasonable?”
Me: “Yup.”
Her: “You were right, I didn’t want to know.”
