Make her? Do women love feeling like victims or what?
Started watching YouTube with my SO but unlike OP found content we could both enjoy.
It ruined my recommendations and I’m ok with that.
Fun story… We were watching something together and I dozed off holding the remote. Woke up 10 minutes later and YT had auto played some car restoration video. “Sorry, I must’ve been tired. I’ll find something else.” “DON’T YOU DARE. I’m invested now. I have to see if they’re gonna get this thing to start!”
My penguin.
Wait, this part gets good in about 12 minutes. 😄
The feminine urge to watch your boyfriend’s videos that you won’t find funny or entertaining
Yeah well I don’t particularly want to watch TikTok videos about cabinet refurbishment. I also dislike the suggestion that “we should do this”.
I’ll receive similar messages but without the “we should do this”. Later when I haven’t responded I’ll get the “Why don’t you reply to what I sent you?”
We now have a rule that if you want a reply you have to ask a question. Felt kinda dickish but having that agreement up front has been helpful.
My objection is more to the suggestion that we do it to our own kitchen cabinets. It’ll be a mess and it won’t work and then will have messed up cabinets.
Also in terms of equipment I own a screwdriver and maybe a hammer, so it would also involve going out and buying expensive wood sanding equipment and table saws, that I really don’t have a use for. I’m not a DIY sort of person.
The number of women in my environment who do this to me is fucking ridiculous.
Thank you for remembering that woman is a countable noun. I would give you an extra like just for that if I could.
Maybe it’s because you’re in their environment!
I get the unhinged TikTok demographic.
It is actually quite funny that I show my partner YouTube videos and she shows me TikTok videos.
Comment all your favorite 1h+ videos here. I’ll watch them eventually
Super Eyepatch Wolf - You Cannot Play These Games
There’s others, but that’s the only one my brain managed to remember enough of currently!
- HelloFutureMe’s rewrite of Legend of Korea that would make it a good show, rather than the most-retcon-filled bullshit I’ve ever seen.
- Mother’s Basement’s Happy Science Trilogy (look for “a cult made this anime”, and strap the fuck in, because the 8th-dimensional spirit of Isaac Newton is here to convince you to pay some Japanese guy all of your money)
In the old days we did this with Monty Python movies.
Of all the women I dated, the only ones who actually liked Monty Python, I wasn’t really interested in them! Of the rest, the mostly like the scene with the killer rabbit.
Meanwhile, I pretty much don’t need the sound on Holy Grail anymore.
Why is this gendered? This is just a thing annoying people do to other people.
Because it gets more engagement that way.
This place attracts a lot of fundie social justice warriors, unfortunately. Or it’s Russian trolls, same difference.
I think it’s hot when my wife is into something and is explaining it to me. Even if I don’t share an interest in xyz thing, I find her fascinating, and I like understanding what she likes about a given thing.
I think she feels the same so I don’t second guess showing her something.
Explaining something that you’re passionate about is much different than forcing someone to sit through a video.
When we met and first started dating, my wife and I bonded over our shared interests. And then shared some of our independent interests with each other. Not all of them were picked up by the other, but even for the interests we didn’t pick up, we became generally aware of them, which helped fill in the picture of what the other person was about. And we built some shared interests over topics neither of us were interested in before meeting each other (a shared experience that starts an interest in both of us in some new thing).
I wouldn’t always describe it as hot (my wife is into some stuff that I genuinely do not understand the appeal), and probably wouldn’t even always describe it as interesting. But we care about each other, even the things we make fun of each other about.
Fuck yeah, infodump harder!
What you share your vague niche interests with the person you care about? Woah slow down there buddy you might need to hold your horses buddy! /s
What’s the word the youth uses? oh yeah,
Based
Content of the post aside, this is one of the worst types of guys on the internet. Celebrity avatar posting celebrity pictures. Get a personality, man
What’s masculine about it? My wife does this to me all the time.
I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel “Technological Connections”)
Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it!
I love trying to get my partner to watch technology connection videos. I don’t think she really believes me when I go, oh yes there is actually a video about traffic lights heating systems or tell her about the multi-year long Christmas decoration lights saga.
There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.
He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don’t utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what’s being run through.
I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc
“Babe, a follow up on the dishwasher just dropped”
Well i know what we will watch this weekend.
A female friend of mine says Technology Connections is “boy coded”. Well, she is missing out
I’m a woman and I like his channel. The first of his vids I watched was the one about brown being weird* and I went on from there. He’s the only account I follow on mastodon on my main feed and not hidden in a list.
*the colour, not us brown people.
“boy coded”
Literally a video about dishwashers
Missing out for sure!
But I wonder what boy coded means, i kinda agree and have an understanding to it but what is it actually and why?
I am female and disagree with your friends. I love Technology Connections and Alec.
It’s weird that people are trying to gender things like this
Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.
Yeah, and his love of heat pumps! :D
It’s a good video though.
What does gender have to do with it?
Think they’re just observing thst men are more likely to show you some stuff thst isn’t at all interesting (fact check: true)
not true
a women
