View submission: What's something you never understood about the opposite gender?
It’s not really bullying. I know what you’re talking about. I think guys are just more straight up about stuff. If they think something is stupid they’re gonna say they think it’s stupid. They’re not gonna let them just do it. Plus I think those guys kinda understand it’s all just fun and games. They don’t take it too seriously.

Yeah I think the difference is that men will shit talk you to your face, but they don’t really mean it. Since it’s done directly you also have the chance to respond and get a little fun back-and-forth going. If I actually don’t like you, we’re not going to be friends in the first place. Whereas I’ll watch my female relatives and friends act like BFFs with someone and then when they’re gone turn around and tell me how horrible and exhausting that person is. I think it has to do with women being socialized to be conflict avoidant
