Thinking like a man?

[CaliBurco]

I think you still owe me an explanation.

Afro, remember Rogue from Xmen cartoon series of the 90's?

[Insomniac]

Shit, she was my favourite. I used to hate the Gambit because he was dating her. I wonder just how much those cartoons messed up my personality.

I tried imitating Gambit in real life in the hopes of pulling a no breast having, butt lacking, pubic hair missing girl in the same age range as me as a kid. I figured if Rogue was attracted to him I could possibly have a chance with girls in school by using the same.tone of voice as him and asked me parents to buy me a long coat as his.

enough of your pathetic and sad life. you can't keep flooding this forum with your life (or lack of one in your case), daily experiences and happenings (your futile effort so far in finding a man), and thoughts (vapid and shallow). this isn't what this forum is for. for that, try getting a friend, in real life or online. for your own sake and this forums, i hope you find a man soon.

slife losers like this airhead and the mods have ruined this forum. a forum which once could occasionally be informative and interesting. more than that, its the only place on the internet where you'd reasonably expect to learn about the intricacies of somali politics and culture.

GO BLOW YOURSELF UP YOU f-king TERRORIST CUNT. WHY ARE YOU IN THIS THREAD OTHER THAN TO TAKE NOTES.

I don't know if I think like a man or a woman. Not all men or women think the same so I don't think there's a point in stereotyping unless we're talking about certain innate differences or socialized mindsets which I don't think applies to this. Personally, I just listen first and let them express anger, sadness, or whatever it is they are feeling. When it's my turn to speak I give my opinion but I try not to invalidate their feelings. The worst thing you could do when someone is feeling emotionally distressed is to tell them they have no right to feel the way they do. Then I try to help them see what the other party might have been feeling or thinking as people don't seem to consider this often. This helps to give them perspective and to encourage them to be more careful in their words and actions when meeting them again.

So it usually goes along the lines of: "It was insensitive for her to make that comment about (something the other person is sensitive about). I would be upset as well since it's hurtful." At this point they usually want to speak some more. Then: "It wasn't the right thing for her to say to anyone. However, when people are distressed, they don't often think of others and can sometimes act harshly with those close to them. Since (sometimes traumatic) recently happened to her, we need to be sympathetic. That doesn't mean you should take it but when you see her again, gently discuss this with her and try to ask her about how she is doing. Maybe if she had someone to talk to, she would be better able to cope with (whatever recently happened). She would also be reminded to remember your feelings as well."

People have diverse needs, including emotional ones that need to be met. Friends should be to respect another person's emotions and still gently tell the truth. If my friends make mistakes, I try my best to be completely honest about it but I would never tell them that their emotions are invalid. As long as you help them gain perspective, they will be calmer anyhow and more reflective.

I listen patiently, express my sympathy for their current predicament and then seek the closest male aged above 15 to enlighten us with their problem solving capabilities.

It is not befitting of a lady such as myself to think too hard and in the process hurt my delicate brain.

It is not befitting of a lady to make sarcastic comments as well.

No, you are quite mistaken there. Sarcasm is the cheapest form of humor. A lady is able to engage in this, however she must steer clear from attempting to make direct jokes because such humor must be reserved for men. The fair sex are simply not that funny.

P.s you should not question a lady. It is unbecoming of a gentleman like you.
