    I let you in on a secret: these type of people exist in every gender. So do people who are sensitive and emotional. Stereotypes and sexism about that is dumb. Believing anecdotal evidence speaks for a whole group of people is dumb as well.

    What works if someone has a preference is to look early into how a person ticks. Instead of focusing on stereotypes and other superficial assumptions (for example).

      I’m gonna let you in on another secret, a hard life makes people like my mother, a coddled person tends to be very emotional.

        Since you are a rational person and not just emotionally reacting, I bet you have a credible source for these blanket statements. Can you name one, please? Because I can’t find even one.

          Are you getting triggered or something? Yes my mother is that way, but in contrast my father is pretty much a manchild, can’t keep control of his emotions.

          All the women I have dated doesn’t include you, so stop proyecting yourself on that statement. Maybe I feel attracted to those kind of people in virtue of my own emotional simplicity, just like her. It’s all anecdotal evidence, never claimed that’s the way the world works nor I believe it is. If people read my statement and starts believing that is the way the world works, not my problem.

          More anecdotal evidence: when you don’t know what are you going to eat today you don’t have time for bitching and moaning, not first world poverty, but abject third world poverty.

            I am not sure if this was supposed to be a response to my comment or got their accidentally ?

            I asked if you have a source for this claim, because I couldn’t find any:

            a hard life makes people like my mother, a coddled person tends to be very emotional.

        a coddled person tends to have very poor emotional regulation in the opposite way your mother is poor at regulating her emotions.
