When men are surprised you are “cultured” LMAO

Many men seem to think people are like a character build in a game, in that you only get so many points to allot to different attributes. Obviously that’s just ridiculous, but they’ll be downright indignant about it. “You can’t be beautiful AND smarter than me! It’s just not fair!” It’s like they’ve spent their whole lives reassuring themselves that it’s ok if they’re ugly because they have other qualities like being smart that pretty people could never. I’ve never seen ugly men as angry as when I beat them at chess. I don’t even play with most dudes anymore because I was utterly repulsed by the tantrums they would throw. Like damn bro, ain’t my fault your self worth is tied to your mediocre intellect.

Uuuuugh SciFi was invented by a woman and Star Trek was a typical housewives show back in the day. I get SO mad when nerdy guys act all elitist around their hobbies. And I don't take it as a compliment anymore when they're "surprised" that a woman likes nerdy stuff. Gtfo. as per my username I could send the Obsidian Order for a visit 🙃

At 24, I was hanging with 2 guys at this restaurant bar, and I used the word empathy in a sentence, and one of them looks at me and says, "That's a big word for you. You don't know what empathy means. " Which I then responded with the Webster dictionary definition of empathy, and he shut the F up. People thinking I'm stupid is not new though. By both women and men, I've been called stupid in all kinds of ways my entire life.

Well, one considered it very "cultured" of me to know how to pronounce "difficult" words like "gnocchi" correctly and that "antipasto" is not a typo in the menu but the singular of "antipasti" when we had dinner in an Italian restaurant even though I was not Italian. I didn't even correct him, I just repeated his butchered rendition of "gnocchi" ("gnow-tchi") to the waitress because he had tried to order for me and she didn't know what he meant. Apparently, knowing what your food is called is the epitome of being "cultured".

The food was great but there was no second date.

Went on some dates with a scrote and told him I'd backpacked the world solo for two years when I turned 25, including India and hiked the himalayas including Mt Everest solo too for 4 months. He'd told me I 'impressed' him lmao! That's when I concluded he's a narcissistic creep. I'm located in the heart of the midwest where people Don't travel much internationally and to them it sounds like an anomaly since they learn about other cultures through their TV instead of getting off their butt and actually seeing the world!

I went to a convention with a guy and stopped at a Dr Who vendor. I was the fan, not the guy, but the vendor kept trying to make Dr Who conversation with him, not me. My date didnt know shit about Who, vendor just made assumptions. I normally go to these things alone, so that was the first time I experienced being dismissed like that.

My ex didn’t know what tapas were; he also somehow didn’t know prawns and shrimp were the same thing 🤨 he had also never left the US 🫠

They just don't see us as full people. Sentient, maybe, but like a dog or very young child's IQ. A man being shocked you know popular things is a massive red flag

Men are such fragile creatures that even the way I speak makes them feel inferior. So I pronounce my letters and don't mumble... get a grip losers!

About a month ago I used on a Facebook group the word “ambivalent” in the body of my post.

It was asinine the amount of people who’ve never heard/seen said word.

Obviously bc you're pretty and bc that's boys stuff, not girls stuff 🙄/s
