Oh, poo poo, programmers. Now it all makes sense.

As a programmer who cooks delicious involved recipes regularly and takes care of his poo poo, I was about to protest, but then I remembered half the guys around me at work. Guys in their late thirties who look malnourished and don't seem to shower daily, and some old fat trolls.

Well, I guess I'll just go fuck myself, then.
I read a reddit relationships thread some months ago where a woman was thinking of leaving her husband because he poo poo in the shower and tried to stomp it down the drain. Apparently it wasn't due to a condition or anything, he was just too lazy to get out of the shower for a poo poo.

I like to remind my girlfriend of that when she gets on me about the little things I do that bug her.

Dude. I was taking pain killers after breaking my foot. Worse thing ever to embarrass me was when I was at work heading to the bathroom, bam! I poo poo myself in my pants in the hallway. It falls out my pants and looks like a loving horse shat in the hallway. I go out after using the restroom. Fellow employee sees me trying to clean it up and states the janitor was coming to clean it up, not realizing it was me who did it.

The only two I'd say were "bad" were the two who essentially tried to corner me, the rest were just not compatible and it's not like they got serious. Probably all of them will be fine but not everyone is there in the mid-20s.

When you want to laugh cry as hard as you can, when you want to cry laugh all you can. When you see rain, just think of it as the world laughing with you, and laugh until you can't anymore.

This thread has already turned into Pick's Dating Game, so why not?

I swear, people who talk about dating more than they date sit around wondering what their problem is. "Why can't I find a person that x,y,z?" You totally can, even if you're a gross hog. It probably has more to do with people not knowing what they want or how to accept others. Cry me a river.

Bet you can't guess what my picky-eating ex-roommate's favorite restaurant is! Go ahead and try!

It's Swiss Chalet and he's heartbroken that they seem to be dying off

For the US folks playing along it's the most whitebread place you could ever imagine and it's basically designed for picky eaters or absurdly white families with children who refuse to eat anything that isn't plain white chicken and fries. It has literally nothing to do with Switzerland or its food.

It's one of many reasons why I ended the relationship but it was basically either I agree to be Vegan or there were huge, throwing things meltdowns about how we aren't meant to be together because we don't eat the same food. Screaming / Crying / Literal Violence if I wasn't happy and interested in "her interests" which changed on a weekly basis.

It's not a defense but I was a pretty bad Nice Guy in my teens and I still haven't quite figured out relationships exactly. So when someone terrible is horrible to me my response is more of an instinctual "M'Lady" rather than an earnest look at my situation and my life.

Can't blame you for that. It's hard sometimes not to see someone react crazy and think "It's probably me. Maybe I should make more of an effort to care about their interests."

That poo poo gets tiring though when your girlfriend changes cliché girl hobbies (photography, painting, guitar, making bead jewelry on etsy) every month and you have to be super supportive even though she's not going to follow through with any of it.

I was with a girl for the first time last year, and it didn't last long. Just not much in common apart from being the only two people in shared classes. And she never really wanted to do anything, with anyone, so it got boring. One time she forgot her birth control pills and was absolutely loopy for a week, and it was after that I decided to cut it off. Just wasn't that fun.

If you don't expect men to be as good as women, why do you keep dating them?

Meh, I haven't had a lot of problems making adjustments to my diet in order to make things easier in a relationship. My ex-wife was avoiding red meat when we first got married, and that was easy enough for me to give up. Reasonable accommodations are just that - reasonable.
