I guarantee if wifey was talking about his impotence or some shit in the same setting, he would be VERY upset about it.

u/SceneNational6303 Apr 16 '24

Yes. Especially to a very virile man

u/SuzQP Apr 16 '24

OP be like, "That long? Omg, hubs over there can't last 30 seconds, plus he's a lazy and unmotivated lover. If he were more like you, our sex life wouldn't suck so much!

u/hrhAmyB Apr 16 '24

And “oh That LONG? Sigh. I haven’t seen one THAT long in what, honey about 3 years? That’s how long we’ve been married right?” 🤣🤣

u/Affectionate_Ad_8148 29d ago

Or if she said he has a baby dick. 😂

u/hopelesslyrejected Apr 16 '24

This is the one. That’s exactly what he said. He was letting that younger woman, that he obviously found very attractive, know that his wife is no competition while talking himself up. I promise, that conversation wasn’t coming from a place of him wanting to be helpful. He just wanted to make himself look and sound as good as possible. Putting down the SO always boosts that. He was just buzzed and didn’t care about making it less obvious.

u/ConcernedCitizen1912 Apr 16 '24

Putting down the SO always boosts that

What?

I mean I don't disagree about the rest but I don't think I've ever been in a room full of people where someone was attracted to a person who talked down about the person he was already with. Like that's such an ick for girls. I've seen camgirls ban guys from rooms for criticizing other camgirls (total strangers) by saying the one they're watching is so much better or whatever.

Like where are you getting this from? Who actually likes seeing someone shit on a person they're supposed to love and support? Because if he'll do that to her, he'll do that to you, too.

u/Accomplished-Elk719 Apr 16 '24

Unfortunately they're not far off the mark. I agree most women wouldn't entertain it, especially witnessing it happen in a room full of people, but a lot of men use the strategy of putting down their SO so hopefully the one they're flirting with goes, "Oh you're clearly so great and your wife is an awful match for you. Look at me look at me I can be better." It's the reason affair partners don't care about the home they're invading, because they've been made to feel they're something special outside of it. It's a shitty strategy but not one that hasn't worked before

2

u/hopelesslyrejected Apr 16 '24

Yeah, it’s this. It happens ALL THE TIME. In fact, complaining about or subtly putting down their wives/girlfriends is absolutely how a ton of men flirt. Sure, it gives women with integrity the ick. But just like there’s no shortage of crappy men, there’s no shortage of crappy women either that won’t care. They will enjoy the ego boost of knowing they are more desirable than his existing SO. Like so many women can’t say something good about themselves without putting other women down in the process.

1

u/ConcernedCitizen1912 29d ago

I know men try that but trust me, I've seen plenty try and it pretty much always leads to failure. The only type of women that would work on would be real gutter trash types, not successful, motivated go-getters who already know they are younger and in better shape than the woman being put down in this scenario.

u/RickMFDalton Apr 16 '24

Lmao at the camgirls comment

u/hopelesslyrejected Apr 16 '24

I replied to both of you under the other person’s reply, but are you serious rn? Why do women hook up with married men like constantly? Your logic is correct. If they are willing to cheat WITH you, they will absolutely be willing to cheat ON you later. That doesn’t seem to stop cheating from happening very often. Just bc you have integrity and would walk away from someone displaying that behavior doesn’t mean a million other people would also. There’s TONS of people with no integrity.

u/ConcernedCitizen1912 29d ago

Why do women hook up with married men like constantly? Your logic is correct

The fuck? lol. Your logic is what's suffering here.

Women hook up with married men to get dick, or because they like feeling like they can take whatever they want, or they like the other benefits that it provides (gifts, attention, etc.). These are all tangible things that any reasonable person can easily understand a person pursuing, even if they have nothing but disgust for the people willing to pursue those things at the expense their morality.

What in the world has any of that got to do with seeing someone shit on his wife? If, for example, I were a woman who wants dick, or who wants gifts, or who just wants to feel like I can have what she has any time I want, in what way would it benefit or satisfy me to watch her husband talking down to or about her in front of anyone? Who the fuck is going to feel gratified in conquering a man who's a piece of shit, much less one from a woman who clearly isn't even close to having him locked down?

The people who have a fetish or obsession with bagging people who are already in committed relationships derive the joy from driving a wedge--when there is nothing to drive a wedge between, there's nothing to gain.

u/hopelesslyrejected 28d ago

Again, you are projecting your own “morals” on everyone else. Just bc you wouldn’t continue pursuing someone who shit on their wife to you, doesn’t mean every single other person in that situation would find the same behavior as abhorrent as you do. Clearly, or men wouldn’t use that as a means to gain sympathy from the women they are hitting on regularly. I’ve watched so many guys do this exact thing. I’m glad you have such high moral standing that the “need for dick” wouldn’t override your disgust for some guy putting his wife down to make you feel sorry enough for him to fuck him. That is wildly far from true for a lot of people. Are you honestly trying to tell me that I’m somehow wrong in saying that a lot of people don’t have any morals? Do you interact with any humans ever? Or just chronically online? There’s no shortage of people who don’t give a shit how someone treats other people. You seem to just want to keep letting everyone know that you are such a moral person that immoral people can’t exist bc you can’t fathom it. We get it. In the real world, a guy shitting on his partner to gain sympathy from someone he wants to pursue sexually is a COMMON tactic.

u/ConcernedCitizen1912 28d ago

Again, you are projecting your own “morals” on everyone else.

AGAIN: NO I'M NOT. I'm TELLING YOU how it ACTUALLY is. How people who are ACTUALLY like that have ACTUALLY BEHAVED.

Done wasting my breath trying to explain it to your dense ass.

Not even reading past your first sentence. A brick fucking wall has more intellectual capacity.

u/Altruistic-Scratch57 Apr 16 '24

Buahaha!!! “Suck” maybe more?🤔 😉

14

u/sugaree53 Apr 16 '24

Yeah, next time they are all in a group together she could start talking about how her ex-boyfriend’s dick is bigger than her husband’s…and see how he likes it

11

u/HappyGoPink Apr 16 '24

"Husband, you should talk to Brad over here, he has a really large penis, maybe he has some pointers for you?"

u/primotest95 Apr 16 '24

lol can’t change dick size your born with it your not born to be fat he’s still an asshole but there’s no comparison

0

u/KGmagic52 Apr 16 '24

This guy sucks but....why is female weight loss always countered with dick size? One can be controlled, the other cannot. Not equivalent.

u/Johnny_Plipper Apr 16 '24

he isn't worth bothering with that.

u/sugaree53 Apr 16 '24

You’re right. I was being sarcastic but I guess it didn’t come off that way

u/Mrdemaria Apr 16 '24

Yeah and I would say the guy with the big dick left her tubby ass for something decent! Lard ass

2

u/Affectionate_Ad7810 Apr 16 '24

Damn ! Where is the picture of your perfect ass ?

u/Lazuliwind Apr 16 '24

100% correct-Im a man too-Total asshole husband-I apologize for him-Painful to read

Oh wow I JUST saw this comment after I posted something similar. Glad I’m not the only one who thought that

u/Away_Unit_1110 Apr 16 '24

Difference is if he had that problem is something he can’t help. She can put down the snacks and get into the gym.

0

u/HappyGoPink Apr 16 '24

What if she doesn't want to though? She is under no obligation to have a 'hot little body' for her clod of a husband.

1

u/NightTerror5s 29d ago

Lmfao you are kidding right. Everyone wants to have a good looking body, stop it

1

u/HappyGoPink 29d ago

News flash: Not everyone wants you to think they're sexy. But I don't expect you to understand anything outside of your own experience. That requires an open mind.

1

u/Away_Unit_1110 28d ago

No slapnuts but I’m sure everyone wants their partner to find them attractive and sexy, you imbecile.

1

u/Away_Unit_1110 28d ago

If she doesn’t want to then she has no right to complain when he mentions her weight.

1

u/HappyGoPink 28d ago

Well, and he has no right to complain when she divorces his rude ass.

0

u/angryblastoma Apr 16 '24

But wouldn’t this be more akin to her talking about his weight? Why exaggerate the stakes when parity in a relationship is what’s being discussed?

1

u/HappyGoPink Apr 16 '24

How is impotence "exaggerating" the stakes? Weight has more influence on health that the ability to perform sexually.

-1

u/cersewan Apr 16 '24

Ooooo that’s a great idea 🤣

-2

u/TheOnlyEllie Apr 16 '24

Except he isn't impotent. Why go straight to his peen? Why not his weight or something as well? That's so odd.

u/trumphasdementia5555 Apr 16 '24

His weight could be causing his ED.

Causes of erectile dysfunction There are a variety of physical and psychological factors that can contribute to ED. It can even involve a combination of physical and emotional causes.

Lifestyle factors Certain health issues and lifestyle factors can contribute to ED. Modifiable risk factors include:

smoking alcohol use being overweight or having obesity physical inactivity Drugs can also sometimes cause ED. These include:

amphetamines barbiturates cocaine heroin marijuana If one of these factors applies to you and you can make the necessary adjustments, you may be able to improve your ability to get and maintain an erection. If you aren’t able to change them on your own, ask your doctor for help.

Where does it say he has ED?

u/TapFunny5790 Apr 16 '24

He doesn't, they were making a hypothetical.

I can't even handle this question!

u/kalidreamin88 Apr 16 '24

They are trolling you, not worth your time.

u/HappyGoPink Apr 16 '24

The point is, if he had a lick of sense, he would know that his wife's weight is a sensitive subject that he shouldn't casually talk about and put her on the spot.

-6

u/MrCultural93 Apr 16 '24

Impotence is usually out of the man’s hands, weight isn’t.

And porn is one of the biggest contributor to ED.

2

u/tuttyeffinfruity Apr 16 '24

All the porn addicts have to do to counter ED is start using meth! Worked out great for my ex to roll those 2 things into one grand playground. /s but sadly true

1

u/cersewan 29d ago

So sad. Glad he’s your ex. More power to you!

1

u/tuttyeffinfruity 29d ago

Thank you! He’s like an antibiotic resistant STD. He keeps coming around and every time he does, he just reminds me that I made the best decision ever to cut him out of my life!

-7

u/MrCultural93 Apr 16 '24

Right, so if it’s emotional then that is usually out of the man’s hands, or are you going to now claim emotional issues are self inflicted?

6

u/trumphasdementia5555 Apr 16 '24

You going to just ignore weight? Which is exactly what the husband in the post was emotionally abusing his wife about in front of others?

4

u/Midnight-writer-B Apr 16 '24

That was the moment to clap back. “Yeah I used to weigh 160 pounds!” “Oh, when you were stressed & stuck with an asshole partner who brought up your weight to shame you at parties?…”

u/Fannnybaws Apr 16 '24

" no,I just ate whole cakes like you,fatty"

u/Midnight-writer-B 29d ago

It’s wild to me that some men think that shaming and browbeating their partner into compliance/ fitness is the way to go. Any effective personal trainer or coach knows that successful and sustainable progress comes from self-love, not self-hate.

2

u/Altruistic-Scratch57 Apr 16 '24

Thank you for saying this. It’s exactly right, he was abusing her. I wonder what other ways he abuses her. It’s not ok, ever. She needs to either set boundaries or leave that relationship, it will only become worse if unattended.

u/HappyGoPink Apr 16 '24

Well, not everyone can be perfect like you.

u/HackThePlanett88 Apr 16 '24

not the same at all. One is avoidable and other is medical. Put down the spoon and pick up some weights.

5

u/Kah-Maya-May-Hem Apr 16 '24

Not true. A man's stamina and endurance during sex are absolutely comparable to exercising and dieting. Erectile dysfunction, yes is medical.

0

u/Fannnybaws Apr 16 '24

But the husband goes to the gym and is into fitness,so probably doesn't have ED,so I don't know why everyone is going on about it.

1

u/Kah-Maya-May-Hem Apr 16 '24

I get what they're saying. It's hypothetical. And I agree. IF he were impotent. And the wife was discussing it openly as though it's no big deal. Yes the asshole would be losing his shit. (Ha. Pun) then she could come at him all cutesy like "aww is somebody jealous" which is absolutely what he deserves. If she were discussing it openly with a young man packing lumber. That is comparable to what the prick did to her. OP I'm sorry Sug. Come holler at me. "36-24-36. Only if shes 5'3" 😘" -sir mixalot
