Polls

I do not feel good about asking this. It makes me feel slimy and gross.

I am especially unhappy with having to ask so bluntly and crassly; in order to fit the one-sentence format for a GAG "question title".

I would like to explain why I am posting this. ( Feel free to just answer. Nothing below is critical for you to know).

I've always had many female friends. Most of my closest friendships since I was 13 years old have been friendships with women. I'm generally someone who people feel comfortable confiding in. I have known SO many wonderful women who have been in abusive relationships. I am as intimately familiar with the scars that can leave on a woman's psyche as anyone can be, short of first-hand experience or formal training.

On GAG I've spoken to dozens of women who were:
-In abusive relationships;
-had escaped from an abusive relationship;
-were currently in the early stages of a relationship with a guy who was showing signs he was likely to be abusive;
- or were in relationships which were clearly abusive, but were in denial; or genuinely didn't realize their relationship was "abusive."

The nature of abuse varies widely; as does the "sort" of woman. It varies from a boyfriend who is emotionally manipulative and has boundary issues... all the way up to sadists monsters who would quite literally torture their girlfriends. I have nightmares about some of these women's stories (three of them in particular).

I am under no illusions about abusive relationships being uncommon. That upsets me more than I can put into words. I also know that there have been attempts to find out "just how common". I also understand that a GAG poll is far from scientific.

**I would really appreciate if you would click an answer to the "poll" even if you have no inclination to write anything. Women who haven't been in abusive relationships, please just click that option before moving on to the next question.**

Thanks

Also - is there some difference in which types of customers these restaurants find more or less profitable or are they pretty much similar in supporting their business?

I was living with a girlfriend who got paranoid jealous when she was drinking. She accused me of having affairs with women in three different states, all at least 1,000 miles away, even though I left home every day not earlier than 9 am and returned every day not later than 7 pm. So glad that's history!

There is nothing as aggravating as being accused of something of which you are entirely innocent, there is obviously no proof to fuel the suspicions, but your partner is still unrelenting with the accusations. There's your sign! Have you had this experience?

Who’s more racist?

You see men and women are born with the DNA 🧬 of what your height is going to be, you can't change it or modify it but you can change weight and manage it.
True question is are women more shallow than men? yes I think they are
