Reality
Make your own luck.
One that I've figured out over the years and have had women tell me I'm right:
When a girl is bytching about something, don't try to fix it. She just wants to vent. I used to try to quick fix shyt because that's what men do we fix things. Forget that. She just wants to get out her emotions and tell you how the world is trying to fukk her.
True to a degree. My girl actually takes my advice, it just takes some time to sink in after she vents.
Here's how i handle it:
Her: Complain complain
Me: *silent*
Her: Problem is so bad. It's such a problem.
Me: *silent*
Her: Ugh just so frustrated/confused/angry
*5 minute lmit reached*
Me: Ok, well have you ever thought about doing xyzabc?
Her: Well if i x then i cant do e because blah blah blah
Me: Fine...just my two cents. *Reiterates solution--does not get in argument...indicates conversation is over by going to do something else*
Her: You're not a good listener (or some variation of this)
*6 weeks later*
Her: Baby, you were right. I'm glad I xyz-ed. I'm glad you pushed me.
Me: you owe me sex and a sammich
Her: Glad to oblige.
basically how it goes in my relationship. but i have a good girl from a smaller town in the south. some of these chicks you just have to ignore.
