Quietly sat in the barber shop as men traded misogynist views on women.
I know I can't win so why participate. My barber is great, he has given me solid advice before...but dude's perspective on women is warped as fuck. I walked in and he was having a discussion with a customer as he cut his hair. The basics:
-Guy in the chair (GITC) was listing his various problems with women, key being that they're overly emotional. He then blessed the shop with some advice his uncle gave him as a young man: always keep two women at the same time. Because if you have one woman it's easy to stop appreciating her, so by getting another you realize how much you like the first one.
-GITC then explained that he can never trust women because they can't be trusted. They might have a man on the side. Note the irony.
-My barber then went on a rant about how women always gotta be starting shit. Case in point: one day he was driving home from church with his woman, when she asked "Marty, would you ever hit me?" He was confused by the question and it sparked an argument. He then explained that he gave his woman a scenario: imagine he is asleep one day, and she comes home mad. She grabs a pot from the kitchen and hits him in the head with it, thus waking him up. His response would be to calmly get out the bed, walk to the kitchen, find a pan, hit her in the head with it, and then go back to bed. He said that a great silence befell the car after he laid out this scenario, and his woman never asked him that question again.
-My barber later said that his current woman, who he has been seeing for 5 weeks, recently admitted that she went back to her ex one night. He said it didn't bother him because he no longer loves women - he simply likes them. That way he avoids any emotional Ls.
-GITC related that he was married for 28 years before getting divorced, and had to give his house to his ex. He later started dating another chick, broke up, and had to give her his next house. Now he realizes he'll never let a woman live in his (third) house because if they break up, she can legally claim it if she's lived there for x years (I doubt this is true but will defer to Bepbo). Despite this he claimed that he would have no problem buying a woman her own seperate house, as long as she left him alone in his own house. I can't tell if this man is rich or completely broke.
-I couldn't help but conclude that it seems like this all was a good argument for male on male relationships, although I didn't say this out loud. If you can't stand women because they're emotional, wouldn't it make sense to fuck with dudes and thus eliminate that problem? I'm just saying. Not me of course, but from a clinical perspective.
