>Talk a lot around women >Read a lot of their facebook, tumblr, twitter etc posts about how men interrupt women too much, talk too much, talk over women, "mansplain", etc. >Decided to stop talking so much around women so I can let them have the floor in conversations >Women around me now ask me why I'm so quiet like it's a problem
How do I find the perfect balance between not being a jerk who talks over women and other subconscious sexist behaviors, and not being a quiet weirdo around women in conversations and discussions?
Just pretend women are people and talk to them the same way. Also watch for reactions when you interrupt someone. If it was rude and it's something you do all the time, people will let you know with their looks.
Mansplaining is a totally different thing, and once again, just pretend that they are human and don't go all out explaining them stuff they would reasonably know unless they asked you too.

>pretend women are people
They are people so there is no need to "pretend". Are you trolling by implying you don't think women are people?
Elijah Anderson
I am implying that no one who considers women people should have these problem. The complains you read are about people who struggle with the idea.
Easton Long
I'm afraid of getting too lost in my own thoughts and rehearsing what I'm going to say around everyone. Not just women. But I realized to women it comes off as sexist so I'm worried. I want to be respectful to their feelings.
Michael Moore
Pretend that they have dicks, unless you're into that.

>Decided to stop talking so much around women so I can let them have the floor in conversations Every time? Why?
Jordan Brooks
Be yourself. If you feel an interest to talk, talk. The problem becomes when we focus too hard on getting someone who doesn't like us to like us.

Are you serious? This is the most pathetic thing I've ever read. Stop drinking onions.
Don't respect them, tolerate them. If you have something important to say, say it. They won't hesitate to talk over you, so you shouldn't either.

Real sòy posting hours

Lmfao bro you need to learn to disregard feminists
Remember when they were trying to make “bossy” a sexist word? Ffs
Logan Gonzalez
I tend to talk over everybody. It was the only way to say anything in my family when I was a child.
Jackson Wilson
Stop being a faggot male feminist and your problems will vanish
Luke Russell
Theres a difference between what woman say they want and what they really want.
Also it's more about saying things they can not relate to. If you go and talk lady stuff to them they might think your queer but they would actually like it instead.
Why do you even bother? You don't want to attract feminists anyway dude. Been with a feminazi before and it's hell
Some pointers tho for a middle ground: Iam European and have dated American chicks before and the biggest turn on for them that I did not need to be a tough guy. If you can get over the tough guy attitude and can talk some feelings and women stuff now and then you're golden.
Reading women's magazines and shit as study material isn't a bad thing just don't go overboard

What if you're a jackass around your friends? Like, I say 'cunt' a lot. The other day I called my friend a 'stupid cunt' and the only female in the group took offense to it. I barely know her, so when she was visibly upset by the word it was pretty jarring. For the rest of the night, a couple of our friends and I removed all of our usual humor/choice of words to avoid stepping on any eggshells with her

beer - it'll make you more interesting and funny. either that or go the gym 5 times a week and won't have to say squat shit;]

>actually believing mansplaining is a thing.
Maybe you should work on your intellectual disabilities before you work on your social disabilities user.
Just don't interrupt them. You don't have to go silent in order to do that.
Blake Carter
Women want you to listen, attempt to understand, and have something to say that acknowledges what they had to say.
You can disagree with a woman, but only after you have acknowledged her opinion/feelings respectfully. In a way I wonder if thats the confidence is sexy thing. Women see a guy that does whatever he wants regardless of knowing that she disagrees with his choices as attractive.
Its not fucking hard. Talk, just not over people. Let them speak, then respond, let them speak then respond, rinse and repeat. Bitches love talking about themselves so just ask questions and act interested. And dont try to one up them or "um actually" them. You dont need an equal, similar or identical story. If their buddy was stabbed you don't need to tell them about your buddy getting stabbed twice. If they won an award, you don't need to mention winning a better one. etc.
Kayden Rodriguez
When you don't know people that well act more profession, restrained and inoffensive. When you do know them well enough. You will know how to act.
Ryan Rodriguez
They probably weren't talking about you in their online complaining
William Flores
Women are non confrontational weasels and instead of pointing literally ANYTHING out, they shit on people online. The female gender folks.
Nicholas Thompson
Women find everything sexist these days. "Mansplaining" is just a codeword for "my retarded are got told." Just as "manspreading" is a codeword for "he's ugly and I don't want him near me." Just try not to interrupt people as much and move on.
Jaxon Davis
Its so much better to be the quiet myserious man so don't worry about participating in a real discussion with a woman. When you do speak it should only be a question pertaining to what she was just going on about. Then you shut up and let them ramble again. They will believe you are a wonderful conversationalist.
Daniel Hughes
Why didn't you just tell th cunt to fuck off? If she doesn't like the group culture she can find another group. Never vow down to women if you give an inch they will take many many miles
