If you aren't willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don't expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.

Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it's an utterly lost concept now. It's no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
No, women need to understand how interesting the making of bike tires is.
We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you're buying it.
How is that dumb shit? Tires are high tech!
I guess because a boy thought it
Dude needs to finish off How it's Made. They don't show you how everything is made, but they cover so damn much that you can probably take a pretty decent stab at it.
Normalize understanding that men and women aren't very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
For anyone wondering:
Take a paper towel, grip both ends, gently place paper towel over the stinkbug and close both ends keeping the length taut (not putting any pressure or touching where the stinkbug is, just letting the U-shaped fold in the center where you are not touching enclose the stinkbug). Gently twist to seal exits while not squeezing the stinkbug.
You are now holding a paper towel with a non-activated stinkbug. Do what you will with that stinkbug.
Hey psst-… I heard that Townlately was into you

Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.
You know these names, because it actually wasn't a dumb idea.
I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.
how is this dumb
Because some women love calling men dumb or stupid online and then wonder why boys become incel/redpill men in the future.
I'm not saying that many men online aren't doing the same to women. I'm just tired, as a man, to go online and see memes diminishing men, and when I try to address it, nobody seems to care.

Real 😂 Sometimes silence is just “brain buffering,” not a mood. Quick check-in + no assumptions saves everyone a lot of stress.
100%. When my wife asks me this question, I always ask...."are you sure you want to know?".
Once it was the astronomical odds of reincarnation if bacteria was a factor when reincarnating. The math just isn't there and your odds of coming back as a human would be older than the universe.
She rarely asks me this ever now lol.

How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that's what I thought!!
They extrude the rubber into a tube then melt the ends together and valve into the side.
I'm sorry I'm going to need a 15-minute video with lots of cheesy very unfunny jokes.
Here is 25 Minutes about a bike tire is produced from dandelions. Though it's only in German. But that also means there are no jokes.

Normalize having absurd and weird conversations between loved ones.
Normalize to just be quiet sometimes between loved ones.
Sure, if that's what y'all want! Ideally that's ironed out before long-term commitments like marriage.

I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.
When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There's never any quiet there.
Im a girl and half the time my brain is just spinning Maxwell cat gif, the other half I'm either thinking about theory or Linux :3
