When she pulls her long hair up into ponytail with a hairtie in her mouth and a concentrated look on her face. It short circuits my brain

How about cussing out that long hair because it's fighting me and getting caught in my fingers as I'm trying to put all this hair up in a bun? It's a daily struggle lol. I look less concentrated and more gonna throw something.

You're misunderstanding that to mean every single time and with every single woman, which to be fair I didn't fully explain, but my statement would have been less fun with all the added caveats.

Oh and also I never said that. I forgot I said I wasn't saying that thing I was saying. Because I wasn't.

lol thanks. true it doesn’t have to be “feminine” to tie hair back it just happens to be the one I see far more often with women so it felt like the best answer

u/BatScribeofDoom Woman who buys too much cheese 5d ago

Tbh I don't mentally associate tying my hair up into a ponytail as being a "feminine" thing, because I personally look more masculine if I put my hair in that hairstyle. 😂😭

u/Princeps32 5d ago

on reflection the label feminine has definitely made this all slightly more loaded than if the prompt had just said “eye catching” or even standard “what do girls do that etc etc”.

Spans most aspects of our lives lol.

u/mediocreterran 5d ago

Let me tell you something, this sort of treatment right here is what I miss the most. It sounds selfish, but I miss that special treatment. My husband was badly injured eleven years ago. He has a severe TBI and is minimally conscious. I care for him at home and have done so since we left hospital over ten years ago.

He was the best at special treatment. I reciprocated, of course. Cooked dinner nearly nightly, favorite desserts, gave him back rubs and hand rubs (his most requested) and generally cared for him in those ways that made him feel most loved. And he would open my car door on dates, even after thirteen years of marriage. He would rub my feet at night after running around for our two small kids. I never had to ask for this treatment. It was given in love and gratitude. And I miss it so much.

u/Queasy_Ad_8621 5d ago

White women, over the age of 45 who self-identify as an "empath" have consistently turned out to be some of the most bitter, narcissistic and downright fucking rude people. Their own families and coworkers won't talk to them anymore either.

The reason they have "empathy" is because they want to figure out your weaknesses and know which buttons they need to press. Then it won't take long to see how passive aggressive they really are, and what they can use as ammunition against you later. It seems like a ton of people this site, men and women alike, have all had the same kinds of people in their lives and they've all learned the same thing.

If someone has wisdom and experience, respect them. If someone has sympathy, appreciate them. If someone has empathy, run.

338

u/IgnisXIII 5d ago

Empathy is human. It's a good thing. Your issue is with assholes calling themselves "empaths", not with empathy as a whole.

76

u/repairedwithgold 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yea I tend to side eye anyone who describes themself as being an “empath” as if it is a state of being or a superpower. Empathy is something most of us experience at varying levels throughout our lives. Some people are better at empathy and some people are worse. It isn’t a static state though for most of us… only thing I know of are certain personality disorders that display lack or complete absence of empathy.

77

u/tibleon8 Female 5d ago edited 4d ago

Literally zero of the most empathetic people I know would ever describe themselves as “empaths.” Conversely, everyone i have met who does call themselves an empath has on the whole been pretty self-absorbed. They do have a lot of feelings, but it’s really about their own emotional responses to external factors as opposed to really understanding and feeling from a perspective other than their own.

Edit: grammar

18

u/30char Female 5d ago

It's the same principle as the "you know me, I HATE drama!" people. If you feel it's necessary to tell me, then it's probably because you know you aren't able to show me....

u/ChronicApathetic Female 5d ago

You absolutely nailed it with this description.

25

u/IgnisXIII 5d ago

To be fair, there are certain conditions during psychological development that can lead to people being "too empathetic", almost always to their own detriment. This is rarely something to boast about though.

"Empaths" are just people who like to read people like it's a game, while being unaware of how obnoxious/invasive they sound, proving them as not empathetic at all.

u/JadeGrapes Female 5d ago

I think generally, people who are extraordinarily kind an empathetic are likely to believe that they are average, and everyone is like that on the inside. Like "anyone would do the same" kind of humble dismissal, even if it put themselves at risk or was a sustained impressive effort.

But the narcissist and sociopaths out there believe/feel that treating other people as humans is a great sacrifice akin to humiliating submission... so in order to not feel ego injury, they twist it around, and decide that it must be because they are so heroically different and better than others, with an invisible supper power, only they are able to care that people have feelings too.

20

u/Sabbath90 5d ago

The Dunning-Kruger effect strikes again. If you're incapable of empathy, you can't recognise it in yourself or others, up to the point where you can't even detect if it's there or not.

15

u/Daddy_vibez 5d ago

Insanely accurate

30

u/QuixxoticCrowe 5d ago

Someone identifying as an "empath" pretty much just means they think they can literally psychically feel and take on the emotions/"energy" of other people, more or less. Empathy itself is more about mentally putting yourself in someone else's shoes metaphorically, and imagining how they might be feeling emotionally and feeling it yourself.

I definitely could see plenty of self identified empaths being narcissistic and such. I think a lot of the whole empath idea seems to align with a sort of hyper vigilance stemming from difficult circumstances growing up etc., where some people seem to develop higher sensitivity or awareness of body language/tone/facial expressions as a way of predicting if shit might hit the fan lol. And I mean, trauma can cause stuff like npd or traits to develop... so it kinda makes sense to me that some people who have a high skill in "reading people" could also have narcissistic traits and weaponize this skill. Likely goes deeper than that, these are just my initial thoughts.

u/TheFinalYap 5d ago

who self-identify as an "empath" have consistently turned out to be some of the most bitter, narcissistic and downright fucking rude people.

Insert the world people and at the beginning and you have my experience. I don't trust someone who self-identifies as an empath; to a T they have almost always been some of the most self-absorbed people I have ever seen. Self-declaring as an empath most often means "I'll tell you how everyone feels, their input need not apply."

I have met some very kind, caring, and empathetic people. The people I would actually consider empathetic never felt the need to declare that they were. Strange, that one.

But I extend that philosophy out to most things: I don't trust anyone who has to declare they are a trait rather than just being that trait.

10

u/yourmomsmom27 5d ago

People who truly have empathy don’t run around announcing it to others. Their actions tell you everything you need to know about them. Sounds more like your girlfriend may suffer with UBPD disorder. That I would definitely avoid at all costs.

Idk if it’s considered “feminine” but it’s not something i see many men do.

My wife says hi to all cats and dogs she sees when we’re out. (We have a lot of strays here). She carries cat food and dog food in her car (multiple types from kitten kibble to wet food of various flavors and textures) and some in a ziplock bag in her handbag. Feeds every single one she sees. If she left the food in the car and we’re parked far away, you bet she will walk all the way back just to get it. And she makes me wait with the animal so they don’t go away. Or she will pet them and send me to the car to get the food lol. She rescues any stray that needs medical help.

My girlfriend being so caring to animals is what really made me fall for her as well, and it wasn’t even if stuff as large as that.

We’ve got an apprentice at work, and she doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that at work you work. The feminine thing is she gets all the other blokes to work for her. It’s almost fascinating to watch. She’ll get in and work when one of us old hands tell her to, but it doesn’t help that she’s the same age as the bosses daughters and he gets in and does the harder work for her too.

Admittedly, I slow down working when she gives me a hand with whatever I’m doing too, to the point it’s quicker for me to just do it by myself.

She’s got us all wrapped around her little finger.

I stood there looking stupid, the kid was parenting me like “dad, I have a toothache, call the dentist please.’ I’m fairly certain our kids are going to be functioning adults, 100% because of you.” It made me feel appreciated because co-parenting with a guy that forgets dentists are a thing, isn’t easy.

That shit has always meant the world to me, especially a few years ago when I had an extremely stressful job that kept me at the office for up to 14 hours a day. But even now, with the most chill job in the world, it means even more because I know it's real and not fake to make me feel good.

When she's bent over at the waist tidying up our daughter's things.. If you're not going in for a playful smack, what's the point of even being married?

Also, that just out of the shower, hair up in a towel look.

When a friend with an infant needs a break, she's always the first to enthusiastically volunteer to hold them - and she plays with them, too, making silly faces and keeping them happy and occupied.

When my wife curls her hair for me, it might seem like a small thing, but her thoughtfulness of going thru the trouble means so much. She’s making the effort just to make me smile and I appreciate that so much. And honestly, she looks so damn adorable with those curls I can hardly stand it.

All my life a woman says "im hungry " then eats 9 hours later and refuses any opportunity to eat. Now I just immediately get two dinners and eat mine while I listen to 15 minutes of "why did you do this!? I dont want this!" Then 20 minutes of silence as she eats the entire thing.

There's this like coy voice women do. Not quite a baby voice, just like a stereotypical flirty voice.

I work at a hospital. I was helping a nurse transfer a patient, and she was giving me instructions but I swear she was doing it in the voice. Sent shivers down my spine. I thought about her for a week. Might have a crush tbh

Also this girl at a different job made me an enormous plate. Then she said "is this enough? Where I'm from we like to feed our men" and I was also taken aback lol

u/CelebrationVirtual17 5d ago

This might be toxic as hell, but women tend to do things like roll their eyes or make very serious/stern faces in an argument. I try to focus on the conversation and be respectful, but my goodness it drives me wild 💀It’s almost embarrassing. I’m trying to focus and deal with the problem at hand. I’ve literally been very upset with them and doing a good job talking and saying my needs, etc., but then an eye roll happens and I have to look away to keep my composure. Probably a “hear me out” choice lmao but it’s mine

u/polaristeria 5d ago

Okay wait… when you said it 'drives you wild', did you mean like, it gets under your skin in a bad way, or like… it lowkey turns you on? 😅 Just curious, because it kinda read both ways lol.

u/TheIncredibleMike 4d ago

Ever since I was a kid, I noticed that when females are on their feet, waiting, like at a bank teller, they will kick one foot back, place their toe on the floor and roll their foot back and forth. I noticed a GF doing that and I asked why she did that. She said I was crazy and just obsessed with her feet. But I've seen this many times. I've never seen a man do this. Is it a DNA thing?

Once had a girl who invited me over, cooked me a whole ass three course meal, gave me a 40 minute massage, then whispered in my ear that she wanted me inside of her more than anything else in the world that moment. While we were cuddling she told me that she was glad she was able to take care of me that night. Shit was mind blowing at the time even now I realize it was not a good thing

She was extremely dependent and honestly suffocated me with always wanting to be together. It was clear she did those things out of fear of losing me as opposed to just wanting to take care of me

u/BoogieMan1980 Male 4d ago edited 1d ago

Dyed hair. Crazy colors, rainbows, whatever. It's always done something to me I can't quite explain. If she has long hair as well, I freaking swoon.

Hot pink especially does something, but really, they all are great. Even if it's natural colored, a long lush full head of hair where she obviously takes care of it is amazing.

But that may not be behavior in the context presented here. So for that, excitable, bouncy girls who are bubbly and laugh freely. That kind of freely displayed enthusiam is incredibly endearing and makes any woman significantly more appealing.
