Search Results: points for asking questions

Like the song says, "Old habits die hard." Even with feminism and gender equality being ingrained in our culture, a lot of men still have an instinct to be a provider and protector for women in their lives. Whether that's biological, or a cultural thing, blah blah blah, that's not the point. The point is, some men want to protect. It's why short girls get so much attention on the dating scene. It's why some men don't want women serving in combat roles. It's why men so on and so forth. Men want to be their woman's knight in shining armor. But that's not always the case.

So this question is essentially asking how many boys and men here have that instinct to be a protector, and how many do not.

A couple of days back when this cute co-worker of mine and I went to the store together, she called me love and started asking if I had any special needs (she clarified that the reason why she asked me the question was because we had a conversation slightly beforehand about her baby's tracheostomy issue; I answered her with the truth (as any real friend should), but while I didn't directly say I was autistic, I told her I was diagnosed with the disorder at age 3.

I've called her pet names like goddess, beautiful, babe, etc. But I didn't jump into the extremes. While she has continuously called me "love", I have refrained from calling her something more lusty, such as "sexy" or "shawty". She's certainly not single; she mentioned something about a husband of hers while in the car and called someone daddy. A day later, I found her falling in love with a fellow male co-worker (who is ALSO married with kids). They both are married (not to each other) with at least one kid of each of their own.

Personally, that pissed me off. But I acted okay with it, I didn't go snitching around like a bitch. She's in her high 20s, the dude is in his 30s, I'm only in my low 20s. I saw the dude and her behind closed doors in the main office; I didn't know WTF they were doing, but it seemed kinda sus to me. She called him handsome the day later and was flirtacious, sarcastic, etc etc. She was rarely like that to me. RARELY.

She said today that "we're gonna need to talk" (while we were at the lunch table with the same co-worker) and when he left, she asked me about work boundaries. She, in an indirect manner, told me that I must call her by her real name, and not babe or sweethart or whatever. But what's the point of that advice when she literally called me love? She even said something worse, saying there "might have been a miscommunication" when she gave me her number and that the number is for "work only." Well, she didn't apply this very same standard to the other co-worker!

There is a girl I like and she asked me a few conversations and we talked a bit. We sat together sometimes in class then she stopped. Then I added her on social media as a friend on the weekend and then planned on asking her out after class on Tuesday. Tuesday comes and she sits next to me (her old spot is open). Then after class she starts asking me what classes I am taking and then what I am doing after class. I take this as she wants to hang out and ask if I can walk with her. We talk and walk for a bit about hobbies (seems like we have nothing in common) and then she says let's sit down. Then she is quiet and doing her work. I ask if I am bothering her if I ask questions and she says no and we talk a bit. Then there is an awkward silence, then she says I just want to work on homework. So I say okay I will go. Up until that point I could not gauge her body language because of the masks but she seemed to know I liked her but then at the end had a hint of annoyance.

I'm thinking, what's the point of a fake blue account if you're gonna admit it's fake LOL. No point in asking this question then 😂. I just think it's likely there are more fake blue than fake pink accounts due to the discrepancy in the number of answers. Either that, or there's actually less girls answering. But then again, I do see a lot more questions asked by pink accounts, which could also be fake LOL.
