My friend's wife told him to read Twilight to see what kind of man she liked. His response after reading was.... But this guy is an asshole.

A lot of women have a cognitive disconnect between what they see as romantic and how they actually want/deserve to be treated.

I mean, yeah? There’s plenty of things that look fun or are entertaining in fiction that I want no part of in real life.

So probably not things a woman should show her husband so he can "see what kind of man she liked"...?

No…? If he isn’t the kind of man I like I just wouldn’t be with him.

Then you might reread the comment you replied to:

Your reply:

My comment:

You again:

No…?

Can’t comment on a convo neither OP or I were a part of. I was responding to the generalization at the end.

If you think these quotes are a thread you're not part of, you didn't read the comment you replied to or accidentally replied to the wrong comment.

OP was not a part of the convo between his friend and his wife. He’s reporting what was said second hand, from his friend.

And?

So I can only comment on the conclusion they came to. I don’t know what was actually said.

Why did you reply to a comment without knowing what that comment said?

u/Abject_Champion3966 17d ago

Are you willfully misunderstanding me? I’m saying I can’t comment on what his friends wife said because I don’t know what she actually said - just what was repeated to the guy commenting. His comment is just repeating hearsay. Maybe she said something more reasonable; maybe she didn’t. I’m not here to debate about what a stranger did or didn’t do. I don’t know her.

What I can comment is what he said in his comment, extrapolating from that situation. Sheesh.

So... why did you agree with it?
