Is it sexy when a man opens that pickle jar (or other similar container)?

[BigPunny]

My wife would be without pickles, corona, or any beer/product in a sealed, glass bottle if it weren't for my man-hands. lol. She always does an adorable little 'eye-bat', pooches her bottom lip, and says "pweez" as she holds the jar at arm's length.

When I'm done, it's almost as if she's fucking me with her eyes. She tells me it's hot, usually gives me a kiss, then turns her butt towards me and wiggles it a bit.

She's the most adorable woman in the world, I know, I know, but do any of you ladies out there get that same feeling when your man cracks open that impossibly-tight pickle jar or beer bottle?

:)

It's not sexy, but I appreciate it

It's sexy

It's sexy and makes me want my man even more

Not sexy and I don't appreciate it because it's his job

I think most of the women responding to this question missed the point. It doesn't have much to do with actually opening jars or beers - it has to do with the small things in life that we do to/for each other that we come to love and appreciate. She appreciates me for doing this small thing, and in exchange I get to see a very cute response from her.

She's the love of my life, yet half the females that respond find it necessary to insult her.

[Azara]

no. i have always been the jar opener in the family. It is not something i expect of men in particular. I find it strange this is supposed to be a difficult task for Women. I'm very good at it and i have always enjoyed being able to help out. I find it annoying when people suggest Women should pretend to be weak bc guys find it attractive and it makes them feel good to be of use. Well, it makes me feel good too. I think human beings generally enjoy feeling useful and strong and healthy. But hey if he can do it great. we can both open jars. better that way bc if anyone gets hurt well still be able to open jars.

I also find it absurd that men are biologically supposed too be attracted to weak Women. if strong healthy offspring are a biological imperative than strong healthy mates would be assured. Somehow Men are supposed to like beauty bc it supposedly shows strength--It does not. You can have perfectly heathy without being aesthetically pleasing-- But not like strength itself, bc it is unattractive. lol.

But i digress.

No. It's not hot any more than him doing anything with his hands is hot. actually him caressing my skin with his hands is way hotter than him touching objects i love a guys hands but for hotter more intimate things than touching jars.

[BigPunny]

I'm not quite sure how to take this. LOL.

But I will say that she can open the jars - I just always do it and she always puts on a show when I do, which I think is hilarious.

I take out the trash and always have. Not because she can't, but because it's just something I've always done and she appreciates it.

She cooks, but not because I can't, but because she always has and I love her cookin'!

She fixes all the plumbing issues, but not because I can't, but because she has a knack for that kinda' stuff - I never have - I still love her for it.

I think people took this post way too personally. Instead of it being a husband and wife finding something they appreciate about one another, people keep taking it to mean 'omg she's weak and he only likes her cause she's weak' then go on insulting her. It's crazy. I'm not saying that's what you're doing here, but you did it kind of - not nearly as bad as some.

But it's upsetting because women are the ones being insulting, not men.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker the reason why women assume it's because men usually like weaker women. And then when they find a strong woman that can do for herself, then they make fun of her and tell her to buy a dildo like you did to another user.
Also, we don't really like gender roles. Would you like if a woman expected you to be the provider and that's the only way a woman will want you? For us, literally men expect us to be weak and then make fun of us saying "yea yea yea. You're a strong independent women. What are you trying to prove?" It's very condescending.

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys I think your suggestion depends on one's definition of 'weaker'. Are most women physically weaker than most men? Absolutely they are - not our fault, and we are kinda' stuck with this fact of life, no?

As to the 'dildo joke', that had nothing to do with her strength - that had to do with the fact that she was insulting herself, women, and men, all at the same time.

"Would you like if a woman expected you to be the provider and that's the only way a woman will want you" - uhh, you mean like how life is currently? Women don't make conscious decisions to mate with someone solely based upon their ability to provide resources, but those are the guys that women chase - is it their fault? Nope, women are designed that way - read my last couple of myTakes and you'll understand the science behind that: www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a25086-men-are-disposable-in-the-eyes-of-society-always-have-been-but-is

and
www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a24824-blame-sexist-roles-on-biology-not-him-or-her-xe-or-xer

You say I'm being condescending, but this is the 8th response insulting my wife or saying I'm a sexist. Somehow I'm supposed to just 'be okay' with that?

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker of course most men are stronger and have more muscle mass than the average female. That's not my point.
What I'm saying is that men LIKE a stronger smaller female. And it's kinda annoying how strong women have to downplay ourselves to get the average man's attention.

Like let's take your example. She can do it herself, but instead puts up this whole show for you. And you LOVE it. Had she not done that, this question wouldn't be here.
I've had 2 bfs, and I'm not a genius, but I was smarter than them. And with my first ex, I pretended to be dumber than him. And I could tell how much he liked "teaching" me "new" things. Most things I already knew. But he wanted someone dumber than him. He didn't think I was a complete moron, but he didn't think I was bright because I pretended to be slower than I was.
My point is, it's a different thing to fail in one area and pick up where she left off, it's another to purposely fail at it and put up a show just to give him a false ego boost.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker and men do complain about being stereotyped into the provider! They complain about this all the time! It's like their number one complaint!

So here we are, women, complaining because pretending to be less than men makes you guys happy, but not us. Not many of us at least. Maybe the traditional types of women. But not many modern women like to pretend to be the damsel in distress to make him feel useful.

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys What you described isn't a problem with men - it's a problem with women. And my wife doesn't do that so that I'll still 'love her' or want her attention, she does it because it's hilarious and we both get a kick out of being goofy. I certainly hope you realized how exaggerative I was being when telling the story of the pickle jar/beer bottle - most of that was simply for comedic purposes.

But if women are dumbing themselves down because they think a man wants a stupid woman or that a man wants a 'weak' woman, then you are only hurting yourself and furthering some false notion that men don't like strong, independent women. That's just not true.

Hell, my wife is the one that does all the 'handyman' stuff, because I don't know shit about handyman stuff. Am I doing that so she feels better? No. Is she pretending to not be able to open the jars to make me feel better? No, and if she was doing it for ME, then I'd take issue with that.

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys To your second comment - if you are pretending to be weak or stupid - that's your OWN fault, not the man's fault. And it's also the fault of your own misconceptions of what a man finds attractive in a woman.

I don't know any guy that has ever said "I don't like her. . . she's too smart" or "I don't like her. . . she's too strong." Never in my life. Have I heard women claim that guys say that? Yes, all the time.

Again, you're taking what I said much too literally. Sure she can open the jars if she really wanted to - would she require the use of some 'trick'? Quite possibly, but she can certainly open them. But instead, she brings them to me to open, and why? Because she appreciates my willingness to do that.

When the sink gets clogged and plumbing fixtures need to be replaced - I go ask her, because I'm not good at that stuff. Can I do it? Sure, I could figure it out, but that's the beauty of a relationship - we complement each other.

What's the issue?

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker you just don't get it. You don't have to say it, actions speak louder than words. And lots of guys complain about "independent women", so to say men never do is false.

Look, what works for y'all is up to y'all. But you're wondering why so many women are not as thrilled. I gave you some reasons why. Whether you agree with them or not, that's up to you. You don't seem like a bad guy. But we just get tired of pretending to be damsels in b distress to attract men.

Here's a quote that fits perfectly well with what I'm trying to say:
"Men have to apologize for their weaknesses. And women for their strengths."
Basically it's referring to the stereotypes of society.
If a man is deemed as dependent, he's labeled weak and "not a real man". If a woman is independent, she's labeled "too bitchy/not feminine enough" etc or "trying to be a man".

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys I didn't say men never do - I said I've never heard them say it in my life - ever. Me personally. I'm not speaking for you or anyone else, but I've never heard a man say it or even show that he wants femininity at its weakest for a mate.

If what you say is true, any woman that is intelligent or strong would wind up single, and we know that's not true.

And no one is asking you to be a damsel - no one. If you're tired of pretending to be stupid or pretending to be weak, then stop doing it. You're responsible for your own choices in life - no one else. Passing the blame onto men for your decision to fake your stupidity is ridiculous. It's not man's fault - that's yours. And if you do that - fake stupidity or weakness - that shows how weak you actually are. If you think the only way you can get a man is by being something/someone you're not, then maybe you aren't as smart and independent as you claim that you are.

No one is forcing you to act stupid.

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys And one more thing - if you are pretending to be something you aren't, and you do it long-term, you aren't doing it because you think that's what he wants - you're doing it to manipulate him into doing something HE doesn't want. You're literally lying to him by pretending to be something you aren't.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker yet you get giddy when your wife pretends to be weak lol

[BigPunny]

@BuchitaBuchys No, I get giddy when she wiggles her butt in my face and is all cute. It has nothing to do with the damned jar of pickles - you STILL don't understand, after this entire conversation, you still don't get it. You missed the entire point, and that's on your own bias against men - it has nothing to do with me, so at this moment, I will simply tell you that you have issues you need to address and I will move on with my day.

I have far more important things to do with my day than to sit here and watch a situation be twisted around by some crazy feminazi.

[BuchitaBuchys]

@asker lol I'm not a feminist. I don't hate men, I hate people misanthrope.

You're the one who resorted to insults I even said you don't seem like a bad man. And I think it was silly of the women on here to insult your wife.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt but you resorted to insults. Just like so many women here did to you and your wife.

Either way, you have a marriage that's working for you. Congratulations because that's rare. I'm merely answering why not everyone will agree with the same dynamics as yours. As there are men who aren't like you. And that's fine. Different strokes for different folks.

[redeyemindtricks]

C'mon, dude. Teach yr wife the basics.

#1, hold the jar upside-down and give it a couple good thwacks with the flat of yr hand. Don't ask me why, but this loosens up the whole mechanism.

#2, just take some duct tape and wrap around the lid a couple times, then double the extra over itself to make a pull handle. Then just pull like a fuckermother. (:
Capstan principle. Converts linear pulling force to torque. Try it you'll like it.

[BigPunny]

I think you miss the point. Why would I have her do something that I enjoy doing for her? It's the little things in life that make a relationship work. You being a woman and not understanding that makes me scratch my head.

And I'm quite certain she could open them all if she really needed to, but that's beside the point - it's the fact that I will do it for her, and am glad to do it for her, that gets me the little butt shake.

And I like my wife to give me the 'fuck me' look, and the butt wiggle is always a nice touch. I'm not going to ruin that by saying "hey, look, you can do it for yourself and here's how!!"

lol

*scratches head*

[redeyemindtricks]

What if she wants pickles when yr not home? Or asleep?

[BigPunny]

Like I said - I'm purty sure she knows how to open the jar. It's the unspoken reality of her wanting to see me do it unassisted or without much effort, or that she just wants me to do something sweet for her. lol. Who knows, but she's a Googler and could figure it out one way or another. :)

[redeyemindtricks]

Googler, like, she actually works there? (That's what they call themselves) Or just, like, someone who actually thinks to search the internet for stuff.

Regarding yr point above, that kinda stuff doesn't yank my heartstrings the same way as yr wife's. I am all about self-sufficiency, so, meh.

For me, it's more the things that my boy turns into little pieces of effortless-looking art. Like, who knew you could grab a shirt out of the dryer, toss it behind yr back, do some magick with yr hands, and wham! it's folded by the time it's gone 360º around yr body? It's impressive.
He can even THROW knives into our knife block, from about 5' away, and hit it a little more than half the time. (The kids are not anywhere in the vicinity when he does this.)

I mean, the boy did have a career as a dancer/performer, so, yeah. <3

[BigPunny]

Your last post was just kind of weird. It almost felt like you were having a pissing contest with the wife.

Weird. I didn't realize women compared notes like that.

And if someone throwing a knife into a wood block does it for ya', then by all means, but around here, we prefer helping each other with the things we're each good at.

But I guess that's why our relationship has been so successful - because of the little things we do for each other.

[redeyemindtricks]

No pissing contest, just different strokes. She likes x, I like y.
Nobody said it was x VERSUS y.

I'm not even sure why yr getting all twisted, since all four of us are clearly winning the game of life here. (:

(Ironic, the use of "pissing contest" for women... lol)

[BigPunny]

I'm not getting all twisted, but you transitioned into something really weird. I mean, the way you said it was just weird, because we go from something useful to something completely useless, which you claim, I guess, makes you 'hot' because that was the original question, and if it doesn't get you hot, then you just changed the subject to something completely unrelated.

I really don't understand that last post. Have you been drinking today? lol.

"Winning the game of life" ? What are you even talking about?

[redeyemindtricks]

Lol, let's just call it, here. This conversation didn't happen. What conversation? (:

[BigPunny]

ROFL. Fair enough. I'm sure this miscommunication was my fault. I think I missed something somewhere, so please accept my apology. :)

[redeyemindtricks]

Hah, no worries.

[BertMacklinFBI]

or you can let warm water run on top of the lid for like 30 seconds. another method :P

[redeyemindtricks]

@BertMacklinFBI that's also a thing, but that can mess with the friction between yr hand and the lid.

[BertMacklinFBI]

damit! LOL :P

[TheHooptyMiata]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMv-dzyTDxA

How I do it. (The best way, of course)

[redeyemindtricks]

@TheHooptyMiata LOL.

Dude, I have not been above breaking the damn glass in the sink. Sometimes my craving for green olives is so strong that it's worth it. Even if it means taking a couple softer, oh-shit-might-be-glass-shards bites first.

[TheHooptyMiata]

Dammit now I want olives! :P

[redeyemindtricks]

@TheHooptyMiata They're good, right? Just be glad you don't live in Japan, where they're like 1500-2000 yen ($15-20) a jar.

[TheHooptyMiata]

My olive story is the same as everyone's. Used to hate em, pantry was empty as fuck one day so I decided to try that lone jar of olives at the back of the cupboard... And I realized I liked them. Prefer the ones without the seed though.

[redeyemindtricks]

@TheHooptyMiata WHAT OH HELL NO, I've always loved green olives. Since I was a little bitty girl.

My second-oldest living memory is of my 6th birthday. My daddy let me pick 6 toppings for a pizza, and I picked green olives, green olives, green olives, green olives, green olives, and green olives.

[TheHooptyMiata]

Haha! They're usually an acquired taste. :P

Damn, olive pizza... Why isn't this a thing that is just served in pizza joints, like, as part of the menu? I'd 100% buy that. :D

[redeyemindtricks]

@TheHooptyMiata You live on the wrong coast. If you walk into basically any random pizza joint in California, you can get green olives.

Believe me, I was cursing New York to the fucking heavens the first time I went there, AND THIS WAS WHY. Black black black black fucking olives every fucking where.
Yes, I feel strongly about this. lol

[redeyemindtricks]

by the way, nothing's stopping you from ordering delivery and throwing shedloads of green olives on it, to yr heart's content.

I've always liked all the pungent, supposed-to-be-acquired-taste garnish-foods. I mean, I'd pop whole cloves of garlic in my mouth in second grade, too.
Ironic, considering I thought vampires were sexy and all.

[redeyemindtricks]

^^ that was @TheHooptyMiata

[kittenkat450]

I always joke with my guy that I need his man hands lol we don't live together yet so I alway find myself getting creative with opening jars. It's just one of those sweet random things that I love lol like he's taking care of me sort of. I have issues in my hands making it hard for me to open push and turn medicine bottles so he always helps me open them. Just like I do his laundry and dishes, he fixes my car and opens my jars lol

[BigPunny]

Thank goodness someone gets it. I keep reading these comments from ladies that actually get hateful when it's suggested that a man open a jar. As if it somehow makes them less of an independent person.

So it's nice when I read a comment from a woman that gets the concept of 'the small things in life.' For my wife, I'm pretty sure she just asks me because she knows I like doing things for her.

And when there's something I can't do, she's always able to do it - like help the kids do some artsy project for school, or fix things (I'm no handyman - she handles all that stuff. lol).

Anyway, now I'm just rattling off random things. Thanks for the comment!!

[GingerBear]

Hmm, I find it appealing, but not sexy as such. I absolutely appreciate it though. I can open things myself (eventually XD) but it's just nice when my boyfriend does it to save me the trouble.
I don't like that attitude from other girls here that that somehow makes us less strong or independent. I CAN do things for myself, but that doesn't make it any less nice when someone wants to help me, you know?

[BigPunny]

Thank you! I couldn't believe some of the comments from ladies on here. Kinda' cray-cray if ya' ask me. lol :) You've restored my faith in humanity. :)

So, like, "honeypot" is a euphemism for a woman's genitals... so... so it's *almost* like i were calling something something other than what it literally is... Weird...

[Phoenix98]

Lol I think a lot of people missed the point you were making, I personally don't mind doing it.

[BigPunny]

Yeah, you're right. I believe they did. Kinda' sad that some chose to turn it into a gender bias issue or some kind of belief that men view women as weak. Ugh. Can't get away from that crap these days it seems. lol.

Thanks for the reply!

[Phoenix98]

Lol yeah tell me about it.

No problem.

[Anonymous]

It's definitely attractive. I'm not exactly sure why though. I think it's because it makes us seems feminine and it makes him appear even more masculine and strong, if that's even possible, lol. But it doesn't work for just any guy. We have to be at least somewhat attracted to him.

As for why your wife does it I am sure you and I both know that she can probably open it on her own, but she would rather watch you open it cause she finds it attractive. 😆

[BigPunny]

Oh I knew 10 or 15 years ago that she could open it 'caused I've watched her. lol. It's so cute watching her play like she just can't do it though. :)

[Opinion Owner]

Haha well I'm glad you still play along. 😆

[Emilyshae97]

If it's foreal hard to open I think it's sexy. But if they ask to open it to prove that they can then that's not sexy.. only if I'm trying to open the jar and I'm alone and I actually have to leave and go find my boyfriend and make him do it. And he does it no problem and laughs and hands it back. I think that's cute as hell

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

lol i have my boyfriend open stuff for me all the time, mostly any beers i drink because i can't use a bottle opener to save my life. i think it's hot. but i wouldn't think it's hot if it was just some random guy, but i would appreciate it. haha

[BigPunny]

Thank you. I'm actually amazed by the amount of women that either could care less or try to talk down about my wife. Lol.

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

yea i was just reading through those. eh some women just don't want help and/or think women who do want help make other women look bad haha i think it's sexy when my boyfriend helps me with anything. some girls think it's offensive. to each her own! lol

[MaskedSanity]

"My wife would be without pickles, corona, or any beer/product in a sealed, glass bottle if it weren't for my man-hands."

That's pretty pathetic, if she's genuinely incapable of doing that on her own rather than a cutesy thing she does when she can't be arsed to open it herself.

I'm leaning towards the latter based on your description.

No, it's not sexy, just useful and convenient. At least not to me.😛

[BigPunny]

Yet another woman that missed the point.

What is it with women and being hateful? Whatever happened to a husband and wife doing small things for each other, even though both are quite capable of doing them, because they appreciate one another?

I mean seriously. You are insulting a woman I've been married to for nearly 17 years because you think she's pathetic for having me do something she can do herself? As for the "would be without" - it's called flavoring a story. . . comedy. The thought of someone being incapable of getting pickles or corona without me is nonsensical, which was supposed to give away the fact that it's a joke, yet here you are, calling someone pathetic because you believe not opening a pickle jar on your own is pathetic.

I think your attitude is piss-poor. I think your sense of humor is piss-poor, and I think your analysis of the story was based off of your own bias against women that appreciate men for doing things for them. How sad are you?

[MaskedSanity]

Err, I said I assumed the latter meaning she's being cutesy as it's highly unlikely a person would be incapable of performing such a simple task regardless of gender. I do this same shit with my boyfriend all the time because it's funny.

Sounds like you're the one with the piss poor attitude since you've taken one phrase, misinterpreted it, jumped to conclusions and down my throat.

Way to be an asshat. 😕

[BigPunny]

"That's pretty pathetic." Right, I took this one thing and made it something it wasn't. Sorry, but you don't get to say things like that and have nothing said in return. Stop being a piss-poor lady and you won't be responded to in the manner I responded.

[MaskedSanity]

Being genuinely incapable of opening a jar of pickles IS pretty pathetic, no matter how you try to dress it up.

However, I did not think your wife was actually that helpless and knew she was just being playful as many women do this schtick.

Speaking of which, you should seriously extract the one in your arsehole and acquire some reading comprehension. Alas, given such a meatheaded response it's highly unlikely to ever happen.😳

[BigPunny]

I don't think it's pathetic - some of those jars are hard asf to open, even for me. And yes, you're right that she was just being cute. I know she is and she exaggerates her cuteness on purpose - and that makes it even cuter.

But you were being pretty damned insulting, no matter how ya' look at it, and the insult was totally off-base, totally unnecessary, and it makes you look sexually biased. Not saying you are, but that's how you came across to me.

If you didn't mean to be insulting, then that's my bad and I apologize, but it sure as hell didn't feel like it when you opened your comment with "That's pretty pathetic." The first three words that YOU spoke were an insult, yet somehow I'm supposed to think automatically that you aren't being insulting. If you weren't, then you really need to work on how you word things, because that was pretty piss-poor.

[MaskedSanity]

For those of us with weaker hands hot water and the side of a counter works wonders. I'm not taking my words back because if a person legit can't figure out how to open a jar be it with strength or common sense, it's not impressive in any way. Sorry, but it's true; we're talking extremely basic tasks here.

Thing is, you jumped to a conclusion based on what other female users said. You were already ticked off and simply read my comment how you wanted to. Not cool.

English is my 3rd language and I don't see anything wrong with the wording. Whether I'd put my assessment of one's incapability of performing such a simple task in the start, middle or end, it seems you would have been upset either way as you felt your wife was being personally attacked.

However, I accept your apology, even though it was equally piss poor.😛

[Mekkalyn]

I agree with you and I didn't feel like you were being offensive or insulting.

I also agree that it is a bit pathetic if you literally cannot figure out how to open a can, which is the only point you were making.. that IF she cannot open it herself IF Asker weren't there it's pathetic, but that if it's a cutesy thing then it's not pathetic. That's what I got out of your comment anyways, and I agree with that.

Asker needs to relax and not jump down everyone's throat for the slightest comment lol

[WhatAreYouReading]

Haha my Husband used to open them and then once my 9yearold son complteted his first obstacle course he kinda took over. I ask him first now and he can usually get it so then I go "My hero!" So not sexy, but definitely a cute little ego boost for him :D

[Mekkalyn]

Um... it's a can being opened... how is that sexy? I don't find it sexy at all, and my fiance always opens the things that I can't get opened on the first try. It's like, we're making food, you are opening the can, I'm doing something else for the meal, and it's not making me hot and bothered at all, in the slightest.

I mean... it's a can being opened. I don't see how that could ever be portrayed as something sexy. But, hey, to each his or her own.

[Anonymous]

It's pretty rare if I can't open a jar or something myself. Since I live alone and have for some time, I have to do things that way. But if I lived with my boyfriend, and for some reason I couldn't open the jar, I would appreciate it if he helped me.

[StacyNothername]

I like it when a partner (male or female) helps with those sorts of things -- stuff that shows off their muscles and strength is sexy!

[BuchitaBuchys]

Unless you're opening a jar full of dildos, it's not sexy but very much appreciated yes.

[BigPunny]

ROFL. Nice. :) And hey, cucumbers have been providing pleasure to ladies since they were discovered, I would imagine. Not sure how the pickled part of that plays in, but ya' never know. :)

[BuchitaBuchys]

True. But I don't think it's safe to put pickles there lol

Sorry I'm an independent woman, and I don't need a man to open my jars. I'm very small, but not that weak.

[BigPunny]

I don't see how people equate having their significant other open a jar as being non independent or weak. Just saying.

It kinda' seems like women feel like they have to prove something to men, and let me tell ya', ya' don't. lol. We don't see women as weak - the majority of men don't.

Hell, anything that bleeds for 3-7 days straight and can still get through every day as if nothing is happening is proof enough of pure awesomeness. lol

[BuchitaBuchys]

'Twas sarcasm m8 lol

[9mfeo]

It's rare that I can't get a glass jar open myself. Your wife is weak.

[BigPunny]

Well that escalated quickly.

[9mfeo]

She has poor grip strength ergo she is weak. It's not an insult, merely a statement of fact.

[BigPunny]

And continues to escalate.

[9mfeo]

You have a very paternalistic view of the world. Chus. 😘

[BigPunny]

And continues.

[fenixx0083]

You do know what "escalate" means, @BigPunny?

[fenixx0083]

Punny: "my wife cannot open jars"

9: "she must not have good hand-strength"

Punny: "That was a disproportionate response! You are being combative!"

9: "i meant no insult"

Punny: "was that the nuclear option (?)? Did you just use the nuclear option for no reason (!)?"

9: "i think your perception may be a little skewed... "

Punny: "why do you hate everything good (!)?"

@fenixx0083 You do know what a euphemism is, don't you @fenixx0083 ?

[BigPunny]

@fenixx0083 You're talking to yourself and writing a story based on 2 sentences from the OO and one euphemism from me.

Slightly creative, but incredibly annoying.

[fenixx0083]

Refering to something as something else, usually in a playful, or humerous manner...

[9mfeo]

Fenixx actually knows me so it's not unusual that he would defend me from a dude being unnecessarily combative in response to my opinion.

[fenixx0083]

I'm just trying to illustrate how non-sensical your responses looked... that was really weird...

[BigPunny]

@fenixx0083 That's not the definition of euphemism, xx. Try Googling it next time. @9mfeo -

So let me get this straight. . . it's not insulting when you say "your wife is weak," but I'm being unnecessarily combative when I say "Well that escalated quickly" ?

Are you mentally deficient or do you always have double-standards when it comes to men and women?

You said something that was very insulting about my wife, tried to one-up a situation in which you missed the point, yet somehow I'm not allowed to point out how unnecessarily insulting your post was by showing you how you immediately went from 0 to 90 for no reason?

Then you come on here saying that fenix is 'defending you', yet don't also place that same standard of defense of me to my wife?

I mean seriously. Both of you should think before you start typing. You're making complete asses out of yourselves.

[BigPunny]

@9mfeo - I'd also like to point out that you weren't giving an opinion. You were stating an alleged fact about yourself, followed by an insult.

[9mfeo]

Bruh she has zero grip strength if she can't open a glass jar by herself. Would you not define that as weakness?

[BigPunny]

No, I don't view that as weakness. Like I said to other people that found it necessary to insult my wife (all of them women, btw) - you missed the point. The point isn't being capable of opening a jar (because I know she can. . . I've seen her do it). The point was that we do things for each other - small things - that we come to appreciate, and one of those things happens to be opening jars and beer bottles.

I'm well aware of her ability to open them, if she really wanted to, but instead she comes to me because she appreciates my willingness to do little things for her, and I appreciate her reaction because she's so damned cute.

But here you are, insulting a woman I've been married to for nearly 17 years, missing the point of the post.

You should learn to take the chip off your shoulder.

[9mfeo]

Dude. I don't find it sexy because I can do it myself. You're the one that made it about you with your little sob story of your child marriage.

[BigPunny]

How is marriage a sob story? And how is it insulting for someone to help you with something, even if you can do it yourself?

Are you really that shitty in life? I think you need to run back to Feminists-R-Us and buy some more battery-operated men. Maybe one of them comes with a bottle opener on the base.

[9mfeo]

I never said anything about it being insulting. I don't find it sexy.

[BigPunny]

"I can do it myself"

The way in which you've reused this theme shows that it insults you when someone does something that you can do. If it didn't, you wouldn't be an ass right now, but you are being an ass, so you didn't have to say you were insulted.

[9mfeo]

No, I just don't find it in any way attractive. You're opening a jar. Good job. Do you want a cookie? It's not insulting. It's just a jar. If I can't get it open, I'll ask someone but it doesn't make me want yo jump their bones. My standards are just a teensy bit higher. But I guess after all that time married, you need every crumb of affection you can get.

[fenixx0083]

O_o... o_O... Well that escalated quickly...

*falls down laughing*

[fenixx0083]

*wipes tear away*

I kill myself...

*snort-laughs*

[BigPunny]

I don't need a cookie, because I get a big smile, a butt wiggle, and the appreciation that comes with it.

As for 'needing' affection - of course I do. I love receiving affection from the person I've loved since I was 17. In fact, she gets plenty of affection from me when we cuddle up with each other before bed and watch one of our many shows together. It's just what we do.

If you think after 17 years that we shouldn't be showing, or appreciating, affection, then I believe you and yours will struggle with relationships for awhile. Good luck with that.

And how childish are you to suggest we're somehow 'bad' for loving each other? If you want to continue insulting me and my family, the very least you can do is pick something that isn't based upon our love for each other, because you sound very petty right now.

[9mfeo]

Relevant.

@fenixx0083 Your attempt at sarcasm was duly noted, but was too late for it to have been amusing. Although I suppose it amused you, which I'm happy for you that you were able to give yourself a giggle, but comedy is all about timing - you apparently have none.

[fenixx0083]

Wow, that was literally the most relevant thing i've ever seen in my *whole* life... 😄

[HentaiMaster23]

It's not hard to do, I don't see why girls like it, cuz it's dumb it's really easy, unless you lierally have no strength at all you should be able to do it

[BigPunny]

I think you missed the point. I'm pretty sure most women can get them open - they just like having that 'one thing' their hubby does for them. Or whatever the case is.

Kinda' like that 'one' food that your wife makes. Don't know why, but it's the best ever and probably just because she made it.

[HentaiMaster23]

Not really, but then again, my girlfriend doesn't cook, so I dunno, but I don't think that's the reason, it's probably some dumb hormones Shiz

[Anonymous]

I always thank him with an ass grab, so I think it's sexy.

[DodgersGM]

It goes both ways, man. My girl doing pretty much anything food-related is so sexy. 😍

[BigPunny]

Great point, btw! I love it when the wife cooks. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty damned good. Kinda' like the poonanny! haha

[Anonymous]

It's not sexy at all, I can open my pickle jars, and that nerdy girl in the picture is definitely not "strong, independent woman" :P

[BigPunny]

Do you appreciate it when a man opens a door for you? Do you think he should?

[Opinion Owner]

Nope, it's not important, I can open a door, I'm not some girly girl :)

[BigPunny]

If he does, do you get upset or not say thank you?

[Opinion Owner]

Oh, I say thank you, if he does... but I just don't like to be underestimated.

[BigPunny]

Now we're getting somewhere. So somewhere along the lines you felt that allowing a man to do stuff for you, it makes you feel as if he believes he is more powerful or domineering?

Something like that? Interesting. And I only ask that because you said you don't like to be "underestimated." But the truth is that most men don't underestimate a woman, nor do they view women as weak. I don't view my wife as weak even though she brings the jars and beers to me to open. I think it's sweet that I can offer her something as her husband, something more than just a lifelong partner.

And I'm just spilling my thoughts here, but I think a lot of women have that same feeling you just expressed: a feeling of underestimation. But I just don't think it jives with the reality of how most men view women.

I mean, I feel that sometimes women make assumptions about me because they have insecurities or some other life experience that they're drawing from, but I just don't think that's fair.

[Opinion Owner]

Ok, I understand your point of view :D

[BamBamFox]

I think it's sexy when a man does anything with his hands even opening a pickle jar haha.

[Anonymous]

Personally if I didn't picture my dad doing this I'd say yes it is hot, but the one I turn to is my dad and I see him more like a superhero than dad haha!

[KawaiiPotato]

at least he's helping you get open your food? :)

[BigPunny]

LOL. Right? :)

[COCOCHANEL]

i use the blunt end of a knife and bang on the outer edge of the top of the lid. works everytime.

[BigPunny]

And still didn't bother answering the question. lol

[COCOCHANEL]

there are many instances when i glorify mens' physical strength. i get super turned on watching my boyfriend carry heavy stuff. bottles? kinda.

[Bobbstiel]

I would just be thankful regardless of gender... I ask my mom to do it sometimes. It's just a nice thing to do for someone.

[takumii]

Lol you just made me fall in love with your wife.

[BigPunny]

Lol. :)
