This shit is fucking endless… God damn it.
So when you flip tables, try to follow through completely, so that your arms are straight overhead and your thumbs point backwards. That will add a lot more rotation to your rage throws.
I like to consider myself the Beyoncé of male mediocrity.
Okay…
Ha, mansplaining in a mansplaining thread, fucking meta.
It could be funny.
But we hear that shit constantly.
The words, “Shut the fuck up!” need to be used a lot more often.
You see, there’s an art to male mediocrity. At least, that what we mediocre males need to believe, so we don’t stare into the abyss of our own mediocrity too deeply. It’s mediocrity all the way down.
It’s not all that deep.
Golf courses and gyms are hot spots for unsolicited advice, often from people who have no right to be giving advice. Makes me crazy. Additionally, the “I’ve been golfing for twenty years” line means nothing in terms of skill.
Strictly speaking, golfing once every decade for 20 years would count. That’s enough to offer advice, right?
I’ve been hang-gliding for 20 years…since I tried it once 20 years ago. I’ll get around to going again, really, I swear.
Unsurprised. Golf is the province of the mediocre man, and the talented are cursed to walk among them.
This happens everywhere.
Everything is the province of mediocre men.
He actually thinks he’s flirting. It’s probably worked before for him.
Because that shit can go sideways really fucking fast is why. They’re on a golf course, and dude has a blunt object that could kill her. Is her life worth it to “pwn” this guy for being an obtuse, mansplaining dick? Really?
My dad is 84 years old. He’s been playing golf for probably about 60 years. About a month ago, he got his third ever hole in one. My dad is not perfect. Far from it. But he would never, and I mean never, do what this guy did. If someone asked him for advice, he would give it. But he would never give advice unsolicited. Hell, he never gave me unsolicited advice (as an adult), and I’m his child.
This. I won’t link it, but “woman assaulted on golf course” is a fucking depressing google search.
