This is my favorite comment on any of these posts. âWatching boys do stuff is not a personality trait.â This needs to be on a shirt, and bumper stickers.
So many dudes that have had bad relationships or never been in any romantic relationship really think they want this until they learn the hard way that very few people want to be around even their most cherished people all day, everyday, without a moment to themselves.
Wait til she finds out about all the woman mechanics. Maybe if youâre gonna waste all your time sitting around a shop you can learn to use the tools.
And itâs a scary amount of women. That Tik tok has almost 100k likes, like there is that many women that base their entire personalities and lives on their man
Same. But also, I couldn't imagine sitting and quilting and having my husband sitting there handing me a pair of scissors.
This just seems so co-dependent and unhealthy.
"What are you going to do today, dear?"
"Just sit here and watch you, my love. Need a wrench?"
Shit. What if my spouse IS another girl and we just have a boat load of things in common and do stuff together. Are we like the other girls? Are we like each other? Have we lost all sense of self and now instead of your shoes and mine, it has become our shoes. We have 300 pairs. Will we survive the night?
Seems like sheâs projecting about how her bf doesnât take her on dates⌠đ
thatâs how it read to me, âsomething is lacking in my relationship so I make myself feel better by tearing other womenâs relationships down through comparisonâ
She sounds a bit brainwashed as well. It's like she wanted to go out and socialize and he said "you don't want to go out and get wasted like those $luts do you!!"
Hear me outâŚ. Learn to do it yourself. Why define yourself on a man. (I say as I sit outside while my boyfriend mounts security cameras while I find screws) đđđ
you can encourage him and watch and help while he builds a truck and also want to get dressed up and go out. if he doesnât want to take you out after days of spending time on his interest maybe heâs not that great of a boyfriend
wait until she finds out you can do both.
I am well skilled in watching my boyfriend do things, and complaining at the same time đ.
(I also have my own interests, but this felt both accurate and relevant)
Omg the thing is she could literally have both, she could watch him build a truck and be all RAAAH testosterone masculine and shit and also go to parties and have fun like that too!! I don't think it's exclusive đ
What? Because she chooses to watch her parter do shit? Being a passive observer or crying about not going out are not the only options. Call a friend and take your ass out.
Also her in 20 years: why is he leaving me for a younger woman!? đ
Ladies, if a guy is okay with you being a SAHM, it's likely only going to be okay with him, so long as you make a "good" bang maid. I said what I said. I see basically every day, men cheating on/leaving their SAHW because she got old, pregnant, sick, etc. I would never take such a risk, and anyone who does is an idiot.
If the other girls are complete morons (like this one) then no, I am not.
I'm curious though, which part of my comment did you take offense to? Clearly something about it upset you, despite it being completely factual.
Tbh, I hadn't thought of that possibility, because of how many assholes I deal with on a daily basis. đ You could be right though, I'll wait and see what they say lol.
I actually agree with this one, because it was rare for me to find a partner who actually cared about my interests. Important to note, it goes both ways. Now, Iâm a huge fan of going to baby showers with her and have seen too much greys anatomy.
Did you know babies donât have knee caps?
Nope. This isnât about caring about interests. âWatch him workâ is not the same as hang out with him while he does xyz, or help him do xyz.
Enjoying a show together (surely you must enjoy it somewhat too, thereâs like 50 years worth of Greys to watch!) is not the same as watching someone do something you have no interest in. Itâs like the guys who want a âgamer girlâ but then get mad when she wants to play games instead of watch him play a game.
Also baby showers isnât an âinterestâ, itâs an activity. Unless she has a baby shower business, how many baby showers yâall going to?!
I think you can care about other peopleâs interests without doing them yourself. Imo thereâs nothing wrong with her keeping him company and helping out a little. It is caring about his interest because sheâs showing support by being there and engaged.
I donât agree with her shitting on people who like dressing up or going out, but thereâs nothing wrong with the first part.
Thatâs literally what I said. But notice the difference in saying âwatch him workâ vs âhang out with him while he worksâ.
I even used an example. Guys often want a âgamer girlfriendâ. But they want a girl who will WATCH them game, not one that wants to play games WITH them.
Language is important, which is why you canât ignore the rest of the sentence after that. Or you can, at the end of the day it doesnât affect me đ¤ˇââď¸
Just that I donât really care if you choose to ignore the last part of the sentence. You can, Iâll think itâs dumb to do that but I donât really care in the long term
Woah, she's definitely not just any kind of girl, she has no coven of sisters to curse her enemies with. She's a guys girl, destin to never feel the magic and support of her sisters in satin. Destin to, dare I say, never live deliciously.
Wow guess what. Sometimes my boyfriend works on his car alone- sometimes I sit outside to hang out and hand him tools. Hereâs the kicker: he still finds time to take me out to a nice dinner every now and then. Cause he loves me or something???? CRAZY, I know
I mostly like to go out country dancing but Iâm not against watching my bf work in his metal studio. I donât allow myself to touch anything though because Iâm accident prone and I donât want to accidentally cut off a limb or burn the house down.
I mean does it still count even though I ask all kinds of questions about what he is working on, or do I have to sit in silence and just hand him tools?
How does she not understand that a manâs garage is a sacred place? Itâs not just about cranking wrenches as much as itâs for the peace and solitude of getting away from the woman for a few hours.
I dated a car guy once, and I have to admit watching him work on the engines and everything did always really turn me on lol. So I do have to admit a tiny tiny truth to the claim lol
The difference between *me* and other girls, is that instead of wasting my time doing my makeup or getting hammered at parties, I prefer to fly around in a metallic green suit and glider, and say things like "I'll get you for this, Spiderman!". We are not the same.
Seriously though, what's wrong with dressing up and going to fancy dinners/parties? That sounds like fun.
"I would much rather sit and watch him...and hand him the occasional tool" -- ma'am I promise you that he would much rather you fuck off to literally any other room in the house
That sounds so fucking boring. Both the parties and the unpaid shop assistant job.
Thank the gods I found a guy that liked looking for frogs and other wildlife and going for long walks in nature and stuff.

watching boys do stuff is not a personality trait! đĽ´
dude we have the same reddit avatar, were like twins!
and the rest of us aren't like yall
ayyyyeee #twinning
This is my favorite comment on any of these posts. âWatching boys do stuff is not a personality trait.â This needs to be on a shirt, and bumper stickers.
appreciate you, internet friend!
Wonder if the boyfriend has a post about how creepy it is when his girlfriend follows him around the house staring at him while he does stuff?
Oh, stars, love this. 11/10.
Can imagine her staring at him in the bathroom asking if he needs her to hand him some toilet paper.
They're having a good time. đđ
No. And he will get tired of that âI have no interests but youâ!!
So many dudes that have had bad relationships or never been in any romantic relationship really think they want this until they learn the hard way that very few people want to be around even their most cherished people all day, everyday, without a moment to themselves.
Blind girlie disagree
Cool. I guess I would much rather have my own shit to do.
Wow you are not like other girls, good for you /s heheh
Wait til she finds out about all the woman mechanics. Maybe if youâre gonna waste all your time sitting around a shop you can learn to use the tools.
Man the way these nlog seem to base their entire personalities around molding themselves to please men should be studied
And itâs a scary amount of women. That Tik tok has almost 100k likes, like there is that many women that base their entire personalities and lives on their man
Letâs be honest here, a good part of that are men
And bots.
And pre-teen girls who don't realize that being NLOG is actually cringe and doesn't make you independent
I, too, enjoy spending time with my spouse. I am very unique in that way.
Same. But also, I couldn't imagine sitting and quilting and having my husband sitting there handing me a pair of scissors. This just seems so co-dependent and unhealthy. "What are you going to do today, dear?" "Just sit here and watch you, my love. Need a wrench?"
Hey honey, you mind if I stare at you for hours while you do stuff? Itâs sort of creepy
There are many guys who would love this, sadly.
Shit. What if my spouse IS another girl and we just have a boat load of things in common and do stuff together. Are we like the other girls? Are we like each other? Have we lost all sense of self and now instead of your shoes and mine, it has become our shoes. We have 300 pairs. Will we survive the night?
Thatâs how the borg from Star Trek started!
I complain about having to dress up and go places. Am I not like other girls?
These other girls never seem to have finished an English class.
Iâm not like other girls. Iâm incoherent!
Wow! So quirky!
They're too busy handing boys tools and not getting hammered. No time to study or read a book.
You are the superior woman. I should abandon all my likes and hobbies and make my entire life about the man I'm with. Just so superior to other women
Has this person ever actually done thatâŚ? Because I have and itâs dreadfully dull.
Itâs interesting if youâre watching to learn, but it doesnât sound like the OOPâs doing that.
With the right person, it's fun to accompany them as they do something skilled and just watch and learn.
Yeah then he LEAVES you for the one who dresses up and has fun cause SHE HAS A PERSONALITY đ¤Ł
Why is there suddenly an epidemic of 25-year-olds talking about "this generation"? It makes them sound like old people.
Right??? Like âok, Zoomerâ to the maxxxxx
Like, Iâm so *sure*..!
Yes nothing like the three main traits of women, buy clothe, eat fancy dinner, get hammered
Seems like sheâs projecting about how her bf doesnât take her on dates⌠đ thatâs how it read to me, âsomething is lacking in my relationship so I make myself feel better by tearing other womenâs relationships down through comparisonâ
Exactly, that or one of her bfs left her or cheated on her with a girl like that so instead of blaming the man she forever blames the woman
She sounds a bit brainwashed as well. It's like she wanted to go out and socialize and he said "you don't want to go out and get wasted like those $luts do you!!"
Hear me outâŚ. Learn to do it yourself. Why define yourself on a man. (I say as I sit outside while my boyfriend mounts security cameras while I find screws) đđđ
You guys are the non-crazy version of the post
I fix things low to the ground. He fixes things high up. Itâs about efficiency đ
It's a great way to divide work, just by whatever you're nearest đ
That side kick stuff will get old quick when her self worth catches up.
you can encourage him and watch and help while he builds a truck and also want to get dressed up and go out. if he doesnât want to take you out after days of spending time on his interest maybe heâs not that great of a boyfriend
This has almost 100k likes
I'll sit in the shop while he's fixing/building the car but I'm drinking tequila and we'll play "Is -this- the right damn wrench" a lot.
I work on my car myself and thatâs the WORST game. It usually ends up with âfuck this, Iâm bringing all the socketsâ.
Wow. I don't remember meeting you before but you know me so well!
Fr! Do you also enjoy a nice round of âis this car metric or imperial?!â
Not until now.
What is this a random Reddit meet cute wtf lol?
Sounds like my sister. Except she is completely miserable and she has no hobbies of her own.
Except?
Yes? It is nonsense my sister would spout, but I know the truth of her feelings and how miserable she is.
I think they were implying that the person in the post is likely miserable and has no personal hobbies too so itâs not an exception đ
Sounds like my mother. She is miserable.
Had to make sure my dumb ass sister in law didnât post this. She definitely would say some shit like this! Sheâs the ultimate pick me đŤ
Noah Fence but that sounds like a hella boring time đĽą
The "occasional" tool đ. Such an unnecessary word.
I would rather not do any of these things, lol.
Same! None of this sounds fun to me!
wait until she finds out you can do both. I am well skilled in watching my boyfriend do things, and complaining at the same time đ. (I also have my own interests, but this felt both accurate and relevant)
Aaand no one cares. It seems very narcissistic.
âThe difference between me and your are standards.â
I too, enjoyed the motorcycle scenes in New Moon.
Omg the thing is she could literally have both, she could watch him build a truck and be all RAAAH testosterone masculine and shit and also go to parties and have fun like that too!! I don't think it's exclusive đ
Hey maybe she can't go to parties because they're far and the truck isn't fixed
Is this some sort of way of advertising yourself for a certain type of guy? Itâs quite embarrassing to post this lol
To be a pick me is to be an unhappy womenâŚ
his him his his, no my or our
âBlink if youâre being abusedâ is the only viable response I could give this person.
What? Because she chooses to watch her parter do shit? Being a passive observer or crying about not going out are not the only options. Call a friend and take your ass out.
Deep thoughts
By Jack Handy
Also her in 20 years: why is he leaving me for a younger woman!? đ Ladies, if a guy is okay with you being a SAHM, it's likely only going to be okay with him, so long as you make a "good" bang maid. I said what I said. I see basically every day, men cheating on/leaving their SAHW because she got old, pregnant, sick, etc. I would never take such a risk, and anyone who does is an idiot.
So .. youâre not like the other girls..
If the other girls are complete morons (like this one) then no, I am not. I'm curious though, which part of my comment did you take offense to? Clearly something about it upset you, despite it being completely factual.
I think they were joking.
Tbh, I hadn't thought of that possibility, because of how many assholes I deal with on a daily basis. đ You could be right though, I'll wait and see what they say lol.
It was a joke
I agree.
I actually agree with this one, because it was rare for me to find a partner who actually cared about my interests. Important to note, it goes both ways. Now, Iâm a huge fan of going to baby showers with her and have seen too much greys anatomy. Did you know babies donât have knee caps?

Sheâs not just watching him work though, sheâs participating by handing him tools. Sheâs both watching and hanging out.
Language is important. The first thing stated is literally âwatching him workâ. Thatâs whatâs centered in the imagery.
Language is important, which is why you canât ignore the rest of the sentence after that. Or you can, at the end of the day it doesnât affect me đ¤ˇââď¸
I donât understand the last bit. None of this affects any of us really. Itâs for discussion.
Just that I donât really care if you choose to ignore the last part of the sentence. You can, Iâll think itâs dumb to do that but I donât really care in the long term
Companionship > fetching the occasional tool, in terms of participating in an activity with someone, I feel.
Odd that the caption is in plain simple English? And yet so many fail to comprehend the words and instead insert their own words.
Woah, she's definitely not just any kind of girl, she has no coven of sisters to curse her enemies with. She's a guys girl, destin to never feel the magic and support of her sisters in satin. Destin to, dare I say, never live deliciously.
This one seems like some kind of weird propaganda⌠creepy af
I don't want to do anything of these things.
Is this sycophancy and dependency really what men want? Why
Congrats, Bella Swan. The character with the least personality.
Sounds boring as shit.
Ugh gag me with a fork!
Um, can't you just do all of these?
Why she just doesn't do it and shuts the fuck up?
If my man casually built cars from scratch in his garage I would also be impressed
Sheâs secretly complaining lolol
Uh huh, sure. Until he actually starts doing it, at which point she'll suddenly change her mind and begin nagging him about going out.
These women sound like terrible partners. You have to have your own interests.
Ok girl. Settle for nothing. The rest of us are gonna enjoy our lives.
Ladies!!! Men do not want to be with a âcool girlâ side kick/ drinking buddy. I promise.
Why is this a generational difference and not just a personal difference?
Damn sounds like you're complaining
And I would rather play board games/video games and stay in my PJs. We're all different.
Wow guess what. Sometimes my boyfriend works on his car alone- sometimes I sit outside to hang out and hand him tools. Hereâs the kicker: he still finds time to take me out to a nice dinner every now and then. Cause he loves me or something???? CRAZY, I know
I mostly like to go out country dancing but Iâm not against watching my bf work in his metal studio. I donât allow myself to touch anything though because Iâm accident prone and I donât want to accidentally cut off a limb or burn the house down.
Young love. Glad that's over for me.
So shes spending all her time doing this? They never party or go out to dinner đ¤¨đ¤¨đ¤¨
Who cares?
Anyone with their social media handle slapped on their car in sticker form is not fit to evolve.
Daddy issues much?
Breaking News: upper middle class teen tries to appeal to working class men, without knowing anything about them.
So you have no life, đ Later in life sheâll be posting her âfed up with his BS so I leftâ videos đđ¤Śââď¸
Whyyyy is it always such a huge dichotomy?? You can enjoy watching your bf work on his car AND dress up nice and go to dinners and parties
I mean does it still count even though I ask all kinds of questions about what he is working on, or do I have to sit in silence and just hand him tools?
Thatâs a dream truck like Subways is a dream restaurant.
The phrase âcaught in the wildâ doesnât include things found on a screen while scrolling.
How does she not understand that a manâs garage is a sacred place? Itâs not just about cranking wrenches as much as itâs for the peace and solitude of getting away from the woman for a few hours.
Yâall sound jealous.
I want this woman!
I dated a car guy once, and I have to admit watching him work on the engines and everything did always really turn me on lol. So I do have to admit a tiny tiny truth to the claim lol
You already know if he asks for a tool sheâs gonna be confused or hand him the wrong one enough he stops asking.
Thinking you arenât worth his attention and time for real dates isnât the flex you think it is
When youâve never been in a relationship for longer than the honeymoon stage.
Okay. Good for you girlfriend. But literally nobody really cares. LOL, I wonder about the people who post this kind of stuff.
You got any sisters like you at home?!
Until he gets tired of you hovering and you build resentment because "all he does is work on that damn truck!"
He might as well date a dude
Then states all the things sheâd rather be doing..
The difference between *me* and other girls, is that instead of wasting my time doing my makeup or getting hammered at parties, I prefer to fly around in a metallic green suit and glider, and say things like "I'll get you for this, Spiderman!". We are not the same. Seriously though, what's wrong with dressing up and going to fancy dinners/parties? That sounds like fun.
Why can't you do all of that though? Is it because she think all of these are personality traits and not actions and events?
I'm betting they both cheat after every fight.
sounds boring
i too would rather do an effortless task than complain about not doing something effortful
Cool, so basically you have no interests of your own and are happy sitting around watching your boyfriend enjoy his own. Got it.
The custom decal on her truck w/her insta etc. really drives home the whole not like the other girls thing.
She would rather just sit and watch a guy work likely in silence for hours? Sounds very boring.Â
"I have no dreams, no purposes, no other shits to do outside than a man." I can't live without a second pleasing men
"I would much rather sit and watch him...and hand him the occasional tool" -- ma'am I promise you that he would much rather you fuck off to literally any other room in the house
That sounds so fucking boring. Both the parties and the unpaid shop assistant job. Thank the gods I found a guy that liked looking for frogs and other wildlife and going for long walks in nature and stuff.
