Wait, aren’t women the ones more likely to use emotional manipulation though?

[-] Waldelfe@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

In my experience as a bi-woman, no. There are equally as many emotionally manipulative men and women. For men it often takes the form of "If you don't do this physical thing (kiss, sex etc), you don't like me." or "If you ask for this security measure (meeting at a public place, using condomes), you don't really like me."

What are you basing this on

[-] cynar@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

A small group of idiots can do a disproportionate amount of damage. These men can't get and keep a lady, so go on a disproportionate number of first dates.

It's the same with the inverse, "bunny boilers". Far more men have been on the receiving end than most women expect. For women it's even more extreme. It takes a woman a while to build to that emotional state. The male equivalent can go bang after just a few messages, or a single date.

What in the sexist generalizations

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago

I mean, they started with "a few of".

For those who didn't know,

(AI)
A "bunny boiler" is a slang term for a dangerously obsessive, vengeful person (usually a woman) spurned by a lover, originating from the iconic 1987 film Fatal Attraction, where Glenn Close's character boils a pet rabbit to terrorize her ex-lover's family. The term describes an unstable individual prone to extreme, often violent, emotional outbursts after rejection, becoming a cultural shorthand for such behavior.

That's only if you need women that badly, or men, or anything.

I just need my fellow male co-workers to stop being toxic, or threatening to do things to me.

I need my male friends to stop tearing me down too (taken care of, went no contact).

I got decent friends, but I'm stuck with certain crude co-workers who display disgusting behavior (like insisting I grab my female co-worker by the pussy, and so on).

EDIT: If it was not obvious, most of my disgruntment (and distrust for women by extension) is actually due to awful treatment from male friends. So if I could date at all, I would rather not, or would rather put it off, because I don't want to get burned by women too. The lesson I guess, is that most of men's suffering is actually from other men.
