[QUOTE=MxOAgentJohnson;38275110]Cant tell if calling me pathetic, or if nearly getting hit for bird flipping is pathetic.[/QUOTE]
do you have some stupid disease that makes it so you can only speak in memes or something
One of the weirdest moments of my life was arguing with a kid about 9/11 and finding out he wasn't old enough to remember 9/11
My girlfriend complains that everything that she shows me, for instance like music or movies, is turned down by me. I mean that I usually dislike her taste for music and movies. Also when she is trying to show me something, she says I am usual pretty sceptical and negative towards it. I never noticed it but she has a point.
The thing is that she listens to really dumb mainstream music or some japanese rock, that I cannot stand at all. She also shows me a lot of mangas and crap like that. I despise it, even when I try to get into it. I tried to be interested but it just sucks so much. Now she thinks that I dislike it because I want to feel superior and full of pride.
I never intented that or feel superior in any way. How can I resolve this?
make an active attempt to get into the things she likes. at least try and appreciate why she likes them. even if she has bad taste in some things, don't assume that everything she likes is bad.
I respect it, I talk to her about it and I actually try to get into it. But at times I cannot stand it at all and when I want to freely express my opinion about it in a friendly and rational way, my girlfriends thinks I am a douche who feels superior to her. The simple thing is that there are so many things on this world that appeal to tons of different people, not everyone can be happy with everything.
On the ironic side, she gives a shit about stuff I am into. Not everything but in terms of music or movies.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;38278835]Pretty soon I can start saying how everything was better "back in my day"[/QUOTE]
nothing was better back in my day the 90s were shit
[editline]1st November 2012[/editline]
actually "my day" is now. "your day" is when you're at your young adult prime i'd say
You don't need to like it to be supportive of what she likes.
Ok, you don't like it, at least show curiosity.
If she's shopping looking for CD's, show some curiosity. Look over her sholder when she's browsing a CD shelve. Wait until she picks a CD she likes and ask her "let me see".
Show interest. If you dislike it, make a small joke about it.
The worst thing you can to is move away from it and be ashamed of being a part of that.
She's your gf. Maybe she's supportive in a bunch of other things she likes and feels sad that you don't do the same.
It's pretty understandable. If you like her, I think it's worth the small sacrifice, right?
You don't need to change your tastes, just your attitude.

oh boy i know this one
you don't have to appreciate it, just appreciate the fact that she likes it. your reaction to it is probably completely off and that's why she gets that idea
Well, she told me that I lacked any emotion or real response when she showed me something. Sometimes I am really in the mood to get into new stuff or try to be interested. But on some days, I am not motivated to see anything new in that regard. But thanks for the advice.
[QUOTE=junker|154;38279741]Well, she told me that I lacked any emotion or real response when she showed me something. [/QUOTE]
ah well yeah that would kill anyone's enthusiasm.
just try to be a bit less cold, she can't fault you for at least trying
She thinks that I am never listening to her advice or opinion. But the fact is that she is always the first one that I ask about anything, then I'll ask my best friends. All these opinions and my own will decide how I act. But my girlfriend thinks that I simply ignore her advice because I always ask my friends later and they often say the same thing as her. So it always looks like I am trusting my friends more in these matters than I trust her, which is fairly untrue.
why is she and why are you even thinking about things like this in so much detail
[editline]1st November 2012[/editline]
i can't think of any situation that might occur semi-frequently where i have to ask my girlfriend and all my close friends the best way to proceed before doing anything
[editline]1st November 2012[/editline]
and then why my girlfriend would even know that i also went and asked all my other friends too
[QUOTE=Bellmanator;38257577]Well I assumed there would be an age difference considering it was Junior -> Freshman but I didn't think it'd be that big considering I was at least 15/16 my freshman year.. That coupled with the fact I didn't bother to ask about her age til after we started dating just brewed.. this.[/QUOTE]
Yeah most people are 14/15 in their freshman year. My girlfriend is a sophmore she's still 15

i'm with chesty i don't know why this would be such a significant issue for her or for you
it sounds more like insecurity than an actual relationship problem

Yeah, it probably is. Although I never said that to her, it seems like she is actively trying to cause problems. She is a strong girl, but at times she is so insecure. I guess if I confronted her with such an explanation. I would get fisted really hard.

Then don't, just ask her if there is anything she's not telling you that's upsetting her, if anything's worrying her etc. She might spill or she might not but it wouldn't do you any harm in asking.
So now, when I get back home I have two dates lined up with some fine ass chicks. How the hell did I get here?
[QUOTE=Dynex223;38281502]So now, when I get back home I have two dates lined up with some fine ass chicks. How the hell did I get here?[/QUOTE]
By paying them ~$70 each, and I'm assuming you paid for their meals as well.

[QUOTE=MxOAgentJohnson;38274957]That feel when i can flip off my cheating ex and her new boyfriend off in public and feel fantastic when he lunges for my ass and gets arrested by a copper just behind him.
No joke, seriously just happened, feel fantastic atm.
Literally, it was just the bird and he went mental.[/QUOTE]
Why is he receiving dumbs? She fucking cheated on him. And the bird isn't dumb, what's dumb is her boyfriend. I think this guy deserves applause for moving beyond a girl shallow enough to date a guy who would get enraged at a fucking hand gesture.
Good for you, I say, and good riddance.

[QUOTE=Yahnich;38283614]if he needs to flip them off; it means he hasn't moved on yet[/QUOTE]
Who says he has to not be angry with her for cheating on her in order to move past her skank-level standards
you're getting "forgive and forget" confused with "moving beyond" as in he is now not dating such a shitty girl
snip dumb
or that you got friendzoned
He can be angry, that's understandable. Who wouldn't, I suppose? However, just because he's angry isn't automatically a legitimate reason for gloating when other people get into shitty situations. That's pathetic, childish and something I personally detest because I don't think happiness is something to be derived off off flipping off people.
either or
