“Babe, look! I know I messed up the first couple of times, but honestly, it isn’t that big of a deal, like OMG!! Aw shit, well not that look again! I get it, I messed up, but girls get cheated on all the time! Buddies of mine made the same mistake before! Remember what Nathan and Jake did to Alissa and Brooke before? What I did back then was practically nothing! There are also tons of guys out there that even hit their girlfriends! Have I ever done that to you??? Wooowww, now you’re actually crying.”
Does this remind you of somebody?🙄 Probably yes, eh? If you're wondering if your man is emotionally dumb as dogshit, here are 5 signs:
1)Loves calling their partners weak for being emotional, while having zero understanding of true mental weakness
Emotionally unintelligent(EU) men are the biggest fanboys for calling your tears weak, while EU men are the biggest haters of understanding what real emotional fragility is. The EU man loves telling himself that he's a warrior on the inside, flexing that he’s never cried since he was a baby. Little does he not know, or hate to acknowledge, that repressing the emotional weight of his actions causes the pain to come back harder in a different form, like anxiety or depression. Therefore, he’s the one showing up with mental issues, not you.
2)Loves undermining the gravity of their own mistakes to avoid accountability
The bigger the gravity of their mistakes, the louder the EU man screams like an angry toddler.
Therefore, the EU man’s natural instinct is to flee from accountability faster than Sonic the Hedgehog could ever run. He flees to a zone called “The VictimVania”, where the paradise makes him totally forget about the emotional pain he caused. To the EU man, genuine reflection about his actions is always a threat to eliminate.
3)Loves blaming stuff on others
To live in his fairy tale, the EU man takes out his binoculars and shotgun to go hunting for “reasonable” excuses or people to blame. He proudly shows off his victim card like a trophy, flexing it like some broke ass bottom-class rappers capping their fake Gucci they bought at the local flea market. To him, almost nothing is ever his fault. It’s always either Sophie’s, the next door crazy lady’s, Jake’s, or your fault that shit had to go wrong. If he's got no choice but to admit he's wrong, he sugarcoats his excuses to the point that anyone listening gonna pull up with Type ll Diabetes afterwards.
4)Inability to understand obvious cues that you're upset
He just doesn’t get the message. Just how glamorous and cozy should his fairy tale narrative be to be completely unable to understand why the hell you're upset? He definitely is the white-knight in his imaginary world, fighting imaginary dragons in this universe while standing in the kitchen he forgot to clean. He loves complaining when you don't understand the dumbest crap that pisses him off for some weird reason, while he is just as much of a fan in undermining the genuine hurt he inflicted before.
5)Sees arguments as battles to win, not negotiate
To an emotionally intelligent man, conflict is a treasure chest filled with new perspectives and improved critical thinking opportunities. To an EU man, conflict is the initiation of a war. However, the EU has no strategy for winning the war. The source of the EU’s manpower stems merely from the fragile ego, completely devoid of any critical thinking. In the battlefield, this would look like troops going all out with zero strategy or backup planning.
