Why does it seem so many men interpret holding their own as being 'mean'? Frankly I think its stupid to relate the two so closely. Things are not black vs. white ie; you went from kissing ass to being mean. Women don't (usually) want to be controlled; they want their man/partner/whatever to have control over themselves, so that all the responsibility doesn't fall on them; the woman in question. And that speaks to the need/want for security, not 'machoism'. I don't think women are more evolved, I think they are generally more logical and men generally don't seem to understand the language.
Ahem, and I also think that goes back to 'Mommy' in most situations, so, grow up, basically is what I'm saying to anyone with this ongoing problem, and look for a partner rather than a replacement matriarch.
Yes agreed.
If you are just a suckup who is nice all the time people take advantage of it.
If your just an as*hole than you wil be disliked.
It's usually well accepted to poke fun at each other.
Like little jokes about each other.
However if your already gf/bf you have to be alot more carefull.
Make sure you both respect each other and neither totally runs the show.
Joking is fine, real insults aren't.
Btw don't even think about making jokes calling someone fat.
Trust me they wil become insecure and usually stay that way.
