I made a joke yesterday, chillin at home on the laptop working, while my girl watches TV, glass of white in hand. I make a joke that my girl weighs the same as me, she had asked how much I weigh, my bathroom scales ran out of battery. I go back to the laptop working 3 minutes later I look up she's crying.
Me: What's wrong
Her: You said I weigh the same as you *sob* *sob*
I ignore her, I'm actually angry that I'm seeing tears right now and being psychologically tested. I continue to ignore her for a good 5 minutes. She clearly doesn't weigh as much as me a fully grown man, 6'2, muscles. I then apologise but go back to work.
She knows she doesn't weigh the same as me, but she's 5'10, a big girl. I then lifted her up, squatted her 3 times, then carried her to the kitchen (trying to not show her she's actually fvcking heavy) spun her around, and brought her back to my living room.
She immediately perked up, smile on face, talking about other things, like nothing ever happened.
I asked her, "you changed completely when I picked you up"
She replies that she just wants to feel small and petite, and how surprised she was at what I'd done.
I felt offended, I'm a strong man, she thought I was too weak to pick her up, no woman is too big for me to pick up.
I know this is a separate situation and my girl being tall wants to feel slender, small and womanly. But women really care about weight, same as men with height, strength, hair (or lack thereof) etc.
It's something I will never understand, and when a woman tries to make me feel guilty about anything, I shut down. I shut down emotionally in that moment, I'll never be coerced or led in my emotions, thoughts or feelings and when I feel that happening, I'm angry and on the attack.
TLDR; women are sensitive with many things, especially weight, never let them dictate your mood or atmosphere. I am quicker to kick a girl out for "an off feeling" I have than put up with BS for the sake of it.
My tolerance is 0 for manipulation.
I would class being overly sensitive to the point you have expectations of comfort from a partner, as manipulation. My standards are too high for that ****.
