The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...
Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.
I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.
She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.
We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.
Crazy how couples work out like that!
I don't understand why you'd send them to eachother if you both know the other doesn't like them. Like, what? I'm happily married and me and my partner send videos specifically because we either think the other would like them or want to make the other groan at a bad joke.
And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.
Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!
Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???
I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!
I am pretty sure you’re making this up.
Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.
I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel "Technological Connections")
Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it!
It’s a good video though.
Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.
Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D
There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.
He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don't utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what's being run through.
I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc
A female friend of mine says Technology Connections is "boy coded". Well, she is missing out
I am female and disagree with your friends. I love Technology Connections and Alec.
It's weird that people are trying to gender things like this
I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.
I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.
What's the word the youth uses? oh yeah,
Based
Fuck yeah, infodump harder!
Women: Men don't know how to share their feelings.
Men: share feelings indirectly through content because it allows them to place some distance between themselves and their fear of criticism for having insecurities
Women: Gawd, I don't care!
The woman in this scenario is still sitting and watching the video though?
Not sure if the makers of this meme considered this but the woman in there is an escort/partner robot, she is designed to please him (who is also a, more advance, android himself)
It makes the meme even more sad that the implication may be that women have to be paid and/or designed to be interested in their partners.
exactly!
That's not true though.
fear of criticism for having insecurities
Found your problem. If your boys won't accept you when you're having a hard time, you might just have shit friends. We all struggle with different things, there's no shame in being honest about that. A good friend will get that and have your back anyway, even when you need to vent or whatever.
You might get teased a little or something, but you shouldn't really be afraid of that either if you know your friend actually does give half a shit about you.
Funny how you went right past the woman in the scenario...
No point. We can control ourselves, but we cannot control other people. If a girl wants you to talk to her instead of show her videos, then whatever, she can want that. If you don't want to change yourself for her, then just find a different girl.
Because the meme was literally about the dude.
Disregarding the genders, in proper communication it’s the senders responsibility to encode their message in a way that can be decoded by the listener.
Sharing your emotions are not so different, it’s still the senders responsibility to share more directly if their partner is not picking up on it.
your gender doesnt bother me one bit.
we gonna watch that 3 hour youtube essay about every goomba glitch in SM64 no matter what.
That video was fire
What’s masculine about it? My wife does this to me all the time.
Why is this gendered? This is just a thing annoying people do to other people.
a women
Started watching YouTube with my SO but unlike OP found content we could both enjoy.
It ruined my recommendations and I'm ok with that.
Fun story... We were watching something together and I dozed off holding the remote. Woke up 10 minutes later and YT had auto played some car restoration video. "Sorry, I must've been tired. I'll find something else." "DON'T YOU DARE. I'm invested now. I have to see if they're gonna get this thing to start!"
My penguin.
the masculine urge to bite myself as hard as i can while a woman watches
Comment all your favorite 1h+ videos here. I'll watch them eventually
Wait, this part gets good in about 12 minutes. 😄
Yeah well I don't particularly want to watch TikTok videos about cabinet refurbishment. I also dislike the suggestion that "we should do this".
