They thought it was acceptable. The idea of one gender being more sensitive than the other? Ludicrous.
Empathy Gone Wrong
“When I was 20, one of my best friends was upset that a guy had rejected her and said she wasn’t attractive. She was crying and slightly drunk. As I hugged her, she said, ‘Now I understand what it must feel like to be you.’”
And Then She Spoke That Single, Terrible Word: ‘Non’
“I was onboard a ship on our way to Greece. It was really friggin’ hot, so I decided against sleeping in our cabin. I took my sleeping bag topside and installed it myself.
Half an hour later, a couple of French girls show up. One of them said: “Hey, there’s someone sleeping there,” to which another girl replied: ‘Maybe he’s pretty!’ Immediately after those words, she spoke that single, terrible word: ‘Non.’”
Democracy Isn’t Always a Good Thing
“Several of the girls in my high school at the end of the school year told me they took a vote, and I was voted ugliest kid in school.”
Bro Woe
“I once had a girl I was interested in tell me, ‘Too bad you aren’t as good-looking as your brothers.’ Being told I was the ugly brother was absolutely brutal to hear.”
Boyfriend Material
“‘You are like perfect boyfriend material. I just wish you were better looking.’ Word for word, after talking to her for a couple of weeks.”
Laughter Isn’t The Best Medicine
“‘Your laugh sounds horrible. Don’t ever laugh again.’ I used to laugh all the time, but when I got told this, it stopped because whenever I laugh, I remember those words.”
You Bore Me
“Thought I was having a nice conversation up until that point.” Guess not.
Kiss of Death
“I’m not a good-looking man. So imagine my surprise when a beautiful girl approaches me in a bar. She beckoned me close and said, ‘Hey, do you mind if I kiss you? It’s a dare.’
Then looked over at her table of friends in the distance, who were in absolute hysterics. After I realized that I was just the butt of another joke, I didn’t want to kiss her at all.”
Robot Wars
“You are an emotionless robot.”
Another user replied: “I hope you looked her dead in the eye with a completely blank face, then let out a quiet ‘beep.’”
Baldy Blues
“‘I want to marry someone just like you, but with hair.’
I didn’t choose to go bald at 22. But thanks to that, I stopped letting it bother me. Don’t you like my chrome dome? Not my problem. I’m attractive like Picard.”
Bird Is the Word
“My dentist used to say ‘Open Beak.’ She didn’t speak very good English as it was, but I thought that maybe she should know the word for mouth, being a dentist and all.”
No
“How can you be his brother? He’s really good-looking. Can you tell your brother I was asking after him?”
Gender Roles From The 1930s
“‘You’re a loser. You’re not a real man.”
“Because real men apparently work enough to support her kids (that aren’t his), so she can stay home and do what she wants.”
Prom King
“I asked this girl I liked to senior prom; there were balloons and signs and everything. I had a sign asking her if she would go to prom with me (I was a cheesy dude in high school).
She stared at me and said, ‘Why would I ever want to go to prom with you?’”
(Not So Sweet) Little Lies
“Not to me. About me. Lied that we had been intimate and spread it around to a number of people.
It’s a weird feeling being harassed in such a manner. I don’t even know what to say. It’s gross and pathetic at the same time. I understand why girls get so upset about that sort of thing.”
Physically Ill
“Things were going great; she was laughing, we were joking around, and she mentioned being lonely, so I countered with, ‘Well, I like you.’
To which she replied with a horrified look, ‘Just knowing you like me makes me feel physically ill.'”
Okaaay…
“‘It doesn’t matter how blonde or athletic you are, you would still have been killed by Hitler.’ I have cerebral palsy.”
Golddigger
“Now that I’m earning more than you, I don’t think I need you anymore.”
“Well, we’re divorced now. And I’ve tripled my salary since she left. I like waving to her from my Merc.”
Honesty Isn’t Always The Best Policy
“I was making out with a girl when she stopped, burst out laughing, and told me I’m a bad kisser.”
10/10 For Creativity, We Guess…
“Someone once told me my eyes look like a jar of waste. For whatever reason, that hurt my feelings.”
