“i can’t read your mind” has been doing a lot of heavy lifting for men with zero brain cells

“I can’t read your mind” is supposed to be used for like, him getting you ice cream and you won’t tell him what flavor you want, not an excuse for him to not treat you like a partner

communication & advocating for yourself is important, and that includes asking if they’re NOT expecting something for Valentine’s Day and anniversaries when it’s expected to do smth for them. if they’re not sure then they could just ask lol

Seeing shit like this makes me so grateful that I’ve never had to tell my bf to get me birthday/valentines/christmas/anniversary gifts. And that’s the bare minimum 😭

Yup! Communication is important but things like kindness and effort should be common sense

Everything goes for both genders, but this is by and large an issue that men have. Emotional labor has been “women’s job” for centuries & that is exactly what this kind of stuff is.

Agreed men should know the basics without even asking such as, getting flowers, holding her hand, sidewalk rule, asking her to be your valentine etc. Now when a man is doing all of those brownie points things he will find that atleast 1 type of brownie points things she won’t vibe with (perfectly ok). All we ask is don’t bead around the bush all day about an opinion you’re scared to share, it is extremely frustrating but a man should be able to take that too. Flame me if you hate this take

1) Calling holding a woman’s hand “earning brownie points” like it’s not something you’d want to do as well 2) It’s “beat” around the bush 3) Are you a man? If so, leave 4) Flame me if you hate this take is corny as hell

Honestly genuinely accidentally joined the page 4 years ago, only go on here for my college but this was the first thing that was open, like I’m on gay sex advice and I’m strait don’t even know how to leave😭 but anyway bet that’s progress let’s not beat around the bush agreed. I never used the word earn nor do I see it that way, but I had to learn what she likes and it turns out making her happy is what I like too. Flame me lol

You don’t have to communicate common sense to women tho, they go above and beyond for men who don’t wash their buttholes
