@deeplydisturbed dude, this is a big part of my growth
I was never a "tool guy" when I was young. I was good at academics and athletics, but not that sort of thing.
When I was in my 20s and early 30s, I just threw money at shit that needed repairing. I could put on my spare tire and change my own oil, and that was just about all.
Once I got a couple of years into the apprenticeship for my trade, I became a lot more handy.
Over the years since, I've repaired a washing machine, a dryer, fixed a lot of other small shit around the house, and then that riding mower this past weekend.
Learning this shit was a huge departure from my comfort zone, and the knowledge has paid immense dividends.
@deeplydisturbed lmao no, I was already permanently suspended from reddit before I learned about the Shrek memes
And it's not a fetish!
Shrek is love.
Shrek is LIFE.

@Stigma when that sort of shit happens to me, I'll usually act slightly amused and say something like "you're awfully trusting". If they keep at it too much, especially if they start telling me shit I don't want to know, I'll straight up tell them that I don't want to know.
Today, all three of the colleagues I work closest with began to confide in me. All three on separate occasions, began to divulge things to me they wouldn’t necessarily want people to know (or otherwise do want people to know and have found an outlet in me).
Now, I don’t like it, and I would like it to stop. I mostly don’t like it because I strongly believe their confidence is not due to traits I find positive in myself or them. They aren't how we might say ‘alpha’ traits - they see me as empathetic and having enough time to hear their woes.
Is there a way to pivot away from this dynamic, preferably as neutrally as possible?

I vaguely remember that guy. If memory serves, he wasn't that good.
in fact in fact literally actually thoroughly literally
Little tip on writing: try not to be redundant and/or excessively wordy. If omitting a word doesn't change the meaning of a sentence, then omit it.
Hard to say, lass...
- #MeToo, harassment accusations, filming approachers for viral videos
- Women often wanting to be approached more so for the ego boost than an opportunity to date
- Social media lifting the curtain on how women see and treat men/relationships (funnily enough, she's adding to this with the "he's gotta like her a bit more" comment)
- Women investing way less into their partners than the older generations she's referencing as men putting more effort
- The caliber of men women want to be approached by can just install a dating app and get flooded with options thanks to women's hypergamy
Perhaps the right question to ask wasn't "Why aren't men approaching anymore?", but rather "How to incentivize men to approach again?". Unfortunately that would require admitting that men are just adapting to circumstances and aren't the root cause of this problem, and that's not gonna fly in this day and age.

Ever heard the word "stalker" before?
No?
How about "creep"? SURELY you know that one.
Stop saying "men" when you mean "Chad". Stop it. Just stop it.
One of the best, and succinct explanations yet…
