don’t waste your energy

That reminds me of Sarah Kay's The Type:

If you grow up the type of woman men want to touch,
you can let them touch you.

Sometimes it is not you they are reaching for,
sometimes it is a bottle,
a door,
a sandwich,
a Pulitzer,
another woman.

But their hands found you first.

Do not mistake yourself for a guardian,
or a muse, or a promise, or a victim, or a snack.

You are a woman, skin and bones, veins and nerves, hair and sweat.
You are not made of metaphors,
not apologies,
not excuses.

And that's the tea. Piping hot and full of truth.

This. All damn day every damn day. I hate when women think they can change men . I used to be one of women when I was younger and then I realized I only have the energy to change me and the people I have in my life and accept them for who they are. If you can't well then leave.

im sure the man would not want you to change him anyway? why go into a relationship thinking "im gonna change him to be how i want"?

Ya know the whole point of a relationship is to grow with the person right? Not for them just to be your lust you whenever you're down

Goes both ways, but you should support your SO if they need it, but sort yourself out before helping others out.

WotNoKetchup · 2019-09-18T14:26:34+00:00

the thing is, you can't fix men because men aren't broken

that is how they are

full of sleazy slimy thoughts who worship their own cocks

and that is all they are

Needed to hear that

That goes for anyone who wants a relationship. Woman, Man, LGBTQ.

My girlfriend helps me eat healthier, because I wasn’t fed a variety of foods as a kid. Fuck off.

Okay but why can’t this be true? I’ve yet to meet someone that doesn’t end up seeming husk way. I don’t meet women who are in perfect relationships. I don’t know where all these mantras come from that really make real life feel so disappointing and sad.

TEAM MANHOOD are masturbating and getting off to a video of a crying woman who is being tied down, simultaneously penetrated by three men, spanked, and being called a whore.
