You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
Robot, experience this tragic irony for me.
Did you do this from memory? I want you to have done this from memory. You will be as a god!
I have combined the DNA of the world’s most evil animals to make the most evil creature of them all!
Turns out it’s mankind
Man*
Took me a second. Can relate.
“Where do you want to eat?” “Anywhere is fine with me. You pick.” “How about burgers.” “No, I don’t want burgers tonight.” “How about…” “No. Not there.” “Okay, you choose.” “I don’t want to choose.”
I gave up playing this game.
“You hungry? ‘Yes.’ OK I’m craving burgers from X place I’m ordering two burgers in 30 minutes unless you tell me you want something else.”
So far it’s working well. Either she orders from where I want or somewhere close by.
‘I’m feeling Chinese.’ Baby you can get whatever you want. I’ll hit two spots or switch my order.
I’ve allayed liked that the idea that if you say no to a suggestion in this situation, it is now your turn to suggest something.
Sounds like my wife.
I’ve heard that the trick is to make it a guessing game.
We’re going to eat out tonight, but it’s a surprise. Guess!
Don’t always go with the first option, keep it random between options
You devious genius.
Wife bad
Why?
Saying “[thing] bad” on the internet is a way to ironically point out lazy boomer humor that relies on putting a particular group of people down in an unjustifiable way.
Boomer bad?
(Oh no!) She's gonna rock down to *ELECTRIC AVENUE*Great now I gotta go listen to that song again.
Not that I’m complaining but it’s in my head now.
Guys, let me explain this weirdness. The woman usually expects you to lead, make the decision. You don’t ask, you tell.
“I know! Let’s go to $restaurant!”
Here’s the part where you’re expected to have a modicum of social skills, be able to tell if she likes the idea.
No? State another option. Don’t ask, state.
“Not liking that? OK, we’ll got to $restaurant2.”
Rinse and repeat.
Relationships require social skills, sorry guys, it’s true.
Nah, you’re just in a relationship with an immature person.
Wow! A real alpha male!
Yeesh. I like talking with my partners, not to.
My gf would get real pissed, real fast if I acted like this and I love her for it.
See, this is why I like my relationships 50-50. We both agree on something and each one pays their own food and we’re back at the house bumping uglies. Done.
Where do we find these $resturants?
Well, no. What happens with us is that either one of us says “want to go to X restaurant?” Far enough ahead of time that the other person hasn’t got some set idea of what they want this evening . So 90% of the time we just get “sure, thanks, yes”. And maybe 10% of the time a “no, but could we go to Y?”. Or a “No, I need to cook the chicken or it will go bad” And it’s literally never gone farther than that.
If my husband did what you are describing above I would be confused. Like if he said “we will go to $restaurant” like that I would assume he had a desperate craving for it and would say yes, as it would be uncharacteristic. But if it kept happening I would ask him WTF?
