It may seem like men are sh*t on a whole bunch, and it's not always fair. But you can't really ignore the fact that there is a direct correlation to women feeling unsafe and men simply existing. Really, no man should be offended by this list because if you have never made a woman feel unsafe or uncomfortable, we're not talking about you! You're off the hook Bryan, no worries.
Now let's dive into some things women would indulge in if they had 24 hours without men,
There are many different ways to deal with creepy people. A lot of the time we try to be kind because we don't want to anger them, but that can also give off the wrong message and make them think you enjoy their 'special attention.' You can try to ignore them as well, but they're usually not the best at picking up on social cues. Perhaps the best way is to go down the creepy route as well, to out-creep the creepers of the world. You might come off as insane, but at least you'll be left alone.
Planning a wedding is a tremendous feat. The bigger the wedding, the more tedious decisions have to be made, and the couple has to prepare thoroughly for a bunch of different nightmare scenarios. One of the hardest parts, that you can really prepare for, is standing at the altar and wearing your heart on your sleeve as announce your love to a room full of observers. Obviously, these are your friends and family, and they want the best for you, but they are also watching closely af. So well, let's just say if you hate each other, you're probably not fooling anyone.
When you marry into someone else's family, it is ideal that you have a healthy relationship with all of their relatives. After all, it sucks to feel unwanted in any scenario. But sometimes some family members (specifically mothers-in-law) like to make their presence increasingly difficult to bear. They insert themselves in situations they know nothing about, and will never let go of the idea that nobody is good enough for their perfect child. And naturally, being treated like you are less than can get old real quick.
Naturally, an Ex-anything has a negative connotation. They are a thing of the past and, usually, it is preferred that they stay there. But sometimes people are not so easily weeded out of our lives, and they come back to make things just about as difficult as they can. It can be extremely frustrating, but who are we if we don't have an antagonist in our life?
Unwanted attention is a common thing that women are forced to deal with. There are many men who still view women as objects, and have no idea what it means to compliment them in an appropriate way. Yes, there are ways you can compliment a woman without being creepy... I promise. For example, if you see a woman working hard at the gym, going up to her and saying, 'you're so hot' is creepy. But if you wait until she's finished her set, and then you compliment her work ethic, that is nice!
Women on Reddit are sharing how they deal with unwanted attention, and maybe there are some tactics that can help you next time you get creeped out.
Sometimes you meet people and feel an immediate sense of intimacy with them. You feel like you've known this person for much longer than you actually have and feel comfortable sharing very personal details with them. This could be a beautiful thing if the other person feels the same... but if they don't, you might just create a very awkward situation. It's happened to all of us, we've probably all been both the over-sharer as well as the unfortunate receiver.
On Reddit, people are sharing the craziest things they've been told by a stranger, and it's clear some people could use some serious therapy.
A woman's period is always a touchy subject. A lot of women are taught to feel ashamed of this totally natural part of life. We hide our tampons in our sleeves as we walk to the bathroom and wrap our pads at least 4 times with toilet paper to make sure nobody knows we are, well, women. Periods are definitely more normalized today than they used to be, but we still have a long way to go in terms of educating the other gender.
It can be really annoying to have a period and ruin your sheets and/or underwear. If you're sleeping in someone else's bed, is it only fair that you wear something to prevent the breakout bleeding? It's a dicey topic.
Ideally, it is nice when our significant other is able to become friends with our family members. If they don't mesh well it can lead to a lot of drama and uncomfortable family reunions. But is it possible that people can get a little too comfortable with your partner? Usually, it is the nosy mother who starts asking overly personal and pressuring questions, but any family member has the potential to overstep.
On Reddit's 'Am I The A-Hole' page a girl is asking he is an a-hole for asking his brother's fiance if she really thinks it's a good idea to marry her brother.
A lot of the time we seek our parent's approval on things. After all, they used to be the only two people we looked up to. But after some point, you realize your parents are just people with flaws, who sometimes have opinions that you don't agree with, and that's okay. We are many to make our own decisions and even make our own mistakes. If you're an adult, and your parents aren't financing that decision, they don't really need to be involved at all.
One nosy mom decided she didn't like her daughter's new job and legitimately tried to call her boss and get her terminated. Now, her daughter, on the 'Am I the A-hole' page on Reddit, is seeking validation in her decision to ignore her mother's wishes.
Being in a relationship can be very difficult sometimes. You want the best for their partner and you want to support them unconditionally, but they may not have the drive to go after what is good for them. At some point it becomes very difficult helping someone who won't try and help themselves.
On the 'Am I the A-Hole' page on Reddit, and guy is asking if he is the A-Hole because he is done giving his girlfriend free-bees because she won't try and find a job after years of being unemployed. Is this the best way to motivate her? Who knows? But how long can you support a fully functioning adult before you go insane or broke... or both.
Don't children just say the darndest things? It's usually adorable, the way they jumble together sentences that almost make sense. It's amazing how far their imaginations can go too. But sometimes... things can go a little too far. For some reason, probably due to all the horror movies with children as the main characters, kids have the capability of being really creepy without trying. Like borderline terrifying. I don't know why but I don't like it one bit.
People are sharing the creepiest things a child has told them on Reddit, and I will probably be sleeping with the lights on tonight.
If Harry Styles were to show up unannounced at my home with a boombox over his head... Let's just say I would not be disturbed. However, if it was Mr. P, my sketchy gym teacher from middle school, I wouldn't hesitate before calling the cops. Depending on the person and the relationship what is creepy could be considered cute, and what is cute could be considered creepy. It can be hard for guys to calculate, but my biggest piece of advice is: If you're not sure... just don't. Reddit users have asked women to share the things guys do that they think will be considered cute, but that is actually creepy, and these ladies did NOT hold back. We can only hope these men are actually unaware of how they're coming off...
Being on a dating app can be very exhausting. Some people are so cringy and it seems that nobody has told them. Like, I hate to break it to you Chad, putting women down is so 20th century. Now we actually go for people who respect us, or at least we try. It can be hard when the dating pool appears so limited! At least we know the kinds of creeps to avoid... for the most part.
People are sharing the dating app bios that make them want to delete the entire app, and boy are some of these cringe.
In every relationship, we have our deal-breakers. And some of us have very special relationships with the world of porn. We build a certain trust with the industry. Good vibes only you might say. But we all know you can't always control what's about to pop up on your screen, and then you immediately have to turn it off and slowly recover. These kinds of experiences can hurt your relationship with your go-to porn site, especially since it was built on trust. But that's showbiz.
If you've ever had to go on a break from your favorite porn site, you may relate to these deal-breakers that people shared on Reddit.
Don't y'all just feel so bad for all the nice guys out there! They seem to have the hardest lives ever. They wake up, brush their teeth, feed the homeless, rescue a puppy, and then get screwed over by evil women. It's quite the lifestyle. No wonder they always finish last, they're too busy being amazing!
But, seriously why is it always the guys who complain about being nice that aren't actually nice at all. The whole, 'Pity me, girls aren't attracted to me even though I respond to all their polls on Insta' is getting really old. Also PSA: Nice is not a personality trait, so maybe find something else that makes you special.
