This'll get binned or go to the two-walls-screaming-at-each-other politics board, but what do you think?
In my experience men auger (not augur) over ending relationships and will quite often be up front about their difficulties in the situation or immediately snap and end them, while women will generally have made their mind up well in quiet advance and drop it like the heaviest bag of marbles almost out of nowhere. men will be heartbroken and confused for a long period and quite often abstain from sex in the months following, while women quickly move on. there is a period where a man gets over it and never wants to go back again, but at this exact interval women will rue their loss and continue to harbour feelings.
Men quite often have deep passions which can be dismissed as 'nerdy' or stupid, even if it's something very normal. whether it's football or tunes or art or clothes, men quite often think in deep ways about how it expresses their position in the world and how it represents them. they'll form extremely deep bonds with other men based on these things, and it is not borne from a rivalry.
Women quite often seem to prefer activities, doing things, and seems to discuss topics more than ongoing bonds. they are more likely to be bound by time spent and ideas of progression. I think you see this now with the extreme drive lots of women have in the workforce and their determination to succeed – they'll pick up on terms, jargon, and culture far quicker than a man does and really give their all. most men seem indifferent to climbing the ladder and place it lower on their life hierarchy; it's a nice thing to give a bit of a shit about, but there's other things in the sphere and a promotion or better job is an awesome plus and not a total determination.
It also seems that disparate or more niche interests are more appealing to men, which is why so many dudes get hung up on the art chick, the gamer girl, or the one who posts on twitter about Patrick Cripps.
This is a worthwhile discussion and if it's full of 'you're an incel' or sexism remarks, but this forum promotes mental health discussion so, for a male dominated forum, I think is worthwhile.
I'm not saying women are bad people and men are great, but it's something that seems skimmed over: in fact, I'd say that the social narrative of the emotional, artistic, clingy woman and stoic, don't give a shit man is inverted.
We also need to connect that men and women treat one another horribly in the modern dating and relationship sphere for the exact same reasons and we both have more in common than we think: we're sort of made for one another.
I think my question is, what is your experience? what does your partner enjoy compared to you? do you sometimes feel ashamed of being really into a lot of things?
