Guys of GAG, Who would you rather share your feelings with, A Woman, or a Tree?

[Anonymous]

This is in response to that idiotic bear question. And personally i would rather share my feelings with a tree, The tree has no ulterior motive, It has no chance of using said feelings to hurt me in the future, nor does it intend to use my feelings as ammo in arguments. Men are simply safer with trees than women. Women are dangerous, and should be treated as the predators they are.

No really its ridiculous though. Because most men have experienced the above from a significant other. I doubt most women are like the above, but i am willing to bet a lot are. I can literally ask every single man i know if a woman has, in their past, used their tears and feelings against them, and every single one will have at least one instance of that happening. Women BEG men to open up, and then leave us, or hurt us when we do. In my own past it was never my dad telling me "Man up" or "If you dont stop crying i will give you something to cry about", Or "Real men dont cry" It was ALWAYS women that said stupid shit like that

The amounts that I've seen of these questions just proves that there's Little difference between the modern man and modern woman

[Asker]

No disagreement

So you admit it's a stupid question and then post a stupid question in response? I don't see the logic in that.

[Asker]

It's more of a joke than anything else. It has a purpose because there actually are women who are so afraid of men that they would choose the bear. And there is truth in what I said about women's propensity to use our feelings and weaknesses against us.

For example, I'm the victim of extreme domestic violence, my ex sliced my face up. The female officer in charge when I called literally told me that I must have done something to deserve it because "women don't commit domestic violence".

And with another Ex I cried over my grandfather's death, and begged her for something as simple as a hug she told me "it's not my problem" and left. Later she was telling everyone I knew that I was gay because I cried for my grandfather. The man that essentially raised me.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

There are women who are afraid of men and for good reason. They have been victims of violence before by men.

I'm sorry you experienced what you did and obviously that officer had no clue what they were talking about. Your ex sounds selfish as well.

I can see why you wouldn't feel comfortable sharing your feelings, but if you are going to go down this route and pick the tree for your experiences then don't berate women for choosing the bear for the same reasons.

[Asker]

Aye, did you see where I said "I'm sure it's not all women" and as to the women who are afraid, I get that, but it's an absurd notion. Reason I know this, I've been around bears, specifically grizzly bears. Choosing the bear nearly always equals death.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I saw it, and it's why I don't agree with the bear stance, although I get why others choose it. Sometimes, a quicker death is the better option when it comes to all the things the wrong guy can do to you.

But as you said, it's not all women who are like that just like it's not all men who hurt women.

[Asker]

Yes exactly! I hate when blanket statements happen.

I'm married. You've actually commented on a few of my questions. The idea of visiting any kind of harm on my wife, or really any woman, is nauseating. It's why I didn't defend my self when my ex sliced my face up. Not the only reason but the biggest reason. The other reason is it would guarantee prison time for me. The police hate when a man protects him self from domestic violence. The same officer who said I must have deserved it, also told me that if she had so much as broken a nail, I'd be going to jail.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

So, in the end, you'd really choose the woman to open up to. It just has to be the right woman (your wife in this case).

In my case, my dad raised me and my brothers to defend ourselves when being attacked. That meant my brothers were allowed to knock me on my ass if I tried hitting them. It sucks in this society that men are not allowed to do so without fear of prison, where women often get off easier. I can admit that the justice system generally goes lighter on women, and I don't think it's fair. Still, it might be better off for the man to remove himself from the situation where he can to avoid being seen as the aggressor.

[Asker]

I never thought I'd actually find my wife lol, but yes she's the only woman who has ever fully earned my trust, who I have ever risked fully opening up to.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

That's honestly amazing and I'm happy for you. It's hard to find someone you can trust like that. It's why so many relationships end in divorce/breaking up. The love, trust and communication isn't there.

[Asker]

You got that right. Unpopular opinion, but if 80% of the male and female relationship questions were actually discussed between their partners and not here, their relationships would be better for it and likely not break up.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Most likely, you are right on that account. People will talk to everyone, but their significant other when it comes to problems in their relationships, at least when it comes to the unhealthy ones.

[mandyfire98]

I can understand not wanting to share your feelings with the opposite gender but why not a male friend instead of a tree? Why aren't men opening up to other men?

[RebelinSteel]

@mandyfire98 now that would be a great idea.

I had very good inspiration
