The most exhausting double standard for men in relationships is the absolute asymmetry of accountability when someone is unhappy.

​If a woman is unhappy, feeling neglected, or her needs aren't being met, modern therapy-speak immediately puts the man on trial.

Society asks: What is he doing wrong? Why isn't he listening to her? Why isn't he holding space for her emotions? Her unhappiness is universally viewed as a failure of his leadership and care.

​But if the roles are reversed, and a man is quietly starving for affection, physical intimacy, or just basic peace in his own home? Society STILL puts him on trial. Instead of asking what the woman is doing wrong, the internet tells him: You probably aren't doing enough chores to put her in the mood. You aren't communicating properly. You aren't romancing her enough. The brutal double standard is that a woman’s pain is always framed as something the man inflicted, but a man’s pain is always framed as a result of his own failure to perform. He is held 100% accountable for both her happiness and his own misery.

The most terrifying realization a man has as he gets older is that his grace is entirely conditional. If a woman has a career setback, makes a bad financial move, or needs a year to "find herself," she is met with sisterhood, therapy, and endless emotional support. If a man asks for that exact same grace? He is an immediate liability. He is told to step up. His partner's friends will literally advise her to leave him because he's "holding her back." A man is only allowed to fail if he can quietly fix it before anyone notices. The moment his struggle becomes an inconvenience to the people he provides for, the respect vanishes. A lot of men are walking around with the crushing realization that they were never actually loved for who they are; they were just employed for what they provide

James Van Der Beek was an icon in the 90s. Varsity Blues is not the legendary movie it became without his performance. He fought a courageous battle with cancer and he will be missed. Rest easy James

@HumansNoContext It's not 250 for the dessert shown, it's 250 for the entire meal, all 16 courses of whatever it is. Including highly expensive ingredients (truffle etc) and the countless hours of work that goes into it.
This is like showing a picture of a steering wheel and saying 40k for this?

A business locally has posted a very shady post, saying they have been nominated for the @GoodFoodGuideUK awards, but posted a link to different organisation, where they nominated themselves, and hoping no1 notices.
I really wanna call them out! But can't comment as seen as petty

@davelee1968 Bonus points to the chef for arranging the eggs and sausage in a suggestive way.
