Curate, connect, and discover
Why the fuck do guys seem to think that every conversation is an argument of some kind??
Like, Zan and I were talking about the usage of the word "simp" and that the online circles I move in tend to use it as a sort of compliment rather than an insult. Like, "oh, a guy who's kind and is willing to help me out and stand up for me when needed and doesn't treat me like garbage or meat? Fucking neat!" and he starts talking about how that's "anecdotal evidence" and that it isn't "admissible". I'm confused af at this point, cause when tf did we go to court over this?
I had to actually explain to him that I wasn't arguing over anything. I was literally just pointing something out. There was no counterpoint or opposition in that instance, no argument. Just a thing I had noticed.
And, fucking hell, this happens a lot when trying to talk to men. They always assume whatever I'm saying is some form of argument that they have to take the opposing side of.
Why can't a conversation just be a conversation? Why does it need to be an argument or debate? Why can't we just talk?
I am so frustrated. It makes me not want to talk at all.
