Pro tip: if your partner shows interest in something and tries to share it with you, viciously mock them and make them feel terrible

[–] XbSuper 3 points 1 year ago

This is correct.

God forbid your partner enjoys something you don't

But don't you know? Straight relationships are all about playing psychological games on each other to trick your partner into tolerating you even though you hate each other. This is healthy and normal.

Why straight relationships? I'd assume this happens in every relationship to some degree or another.

It can but I don't know of any comic strips in newspapers where the common theme is "I hate my same sex partner" or TV shows that run for years and get syndication with the same theme.

Happy couples are boring to watch, and LGBT in media at all is deemed scary and contentious.

What exactly is the takeaway with that reasoning. That it's acceptable to extrapolate as long as it's a popular depiction in media? For anyone that isn't a well-muscled, unusually pretty, straight, white, 30yr old high school student about whom a prophecy has been written, I don't think that's going to go well.

What year do you live in?

The sort of woman that would do this and the sort of guy that would fall for it deserve each other.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Idk about blaming the guy for trusting their partner to be open and honest with them...

~~Holy shit~~ Ellie Schmitt

[–] Darkard 22 points 1 year ago

It's just as well we blurred out Ellie Schnitts name or we might have known who posted it.

What’s a “man movie” and where’s the cutoff? Pulp fiction, the expendables, and fast and furious definitely qualify but does John Wick? Clockwork orange? Fury Road? How can I tell which movies to watch if they’re not labeled “for men” like my shampoo??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Man like man movie, with big strong men do big action. Sissy lady like wussy movie with kissy kissy love. Man only like superhero and tank.

And when a girl takes you to something like barbie, you just need to mutter "fuck" whenever it gets quiet. Right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

who does what when a girl takes another girl to a man movie?

who does what when a girl takes another girl to a girl movie?

who does what when a girl takes 2 other men to a girl movie?

who does what when a nonbinary takes a man and a woman (for now) to a transsexual movie?

who does what when a man takes his parrot to see life of brian?

[–] Brickhead92 2 points 1 year ago

That parrots resting...

The number of people taking this wayyyy too seriously is incredibly high.

[–] erasebegin 9 points 1 year ago

You don't have to pay attention because you can look at the screen for 2 seconds at any point in the movie and know exactly what's happened and what's going to happen

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah can still totally read the name and username through that blur, homie

When we left Reddit we even had the bots follow us.

Aww.

[–] Starkstruck 1 points 11 months ago

Or....you could actually try taking interest in what your partner likes. My girlfriend and I have shared many things with each other that the other hadn't engaged in before. And wow turns out we both like a lot of those things. Sure not everything is a hit, but at least try.
