These guys wouldn't dare play like a bitch and flop like a fish during the playoffs when everyone is watching because they had too much pride and respect. The current floppers have no shame.
You keep trying to feminize male communication styles and wonder why conversations feel frustrating.
Every serious sentence is not an attack. Every direct tone is not hatred. Every short answer is not emotional neglect.
That doesn’t mean disrespect is okay. Yelling, insults, intimidation, and cruelty are still wrong.
But some women interpret EVERY firm tone, short response, or logical answer as “he’s being mean” because it lacks the emotional softness they’re used to from girl friendships.
This is not a complaint, but does anyone feel like hitting over the last week on the show feels way different?
Like timing windows are off, exit velos are down? It’s not a “I’m striking out” thing. It’s a “my swings are going nowhere and I’m always late” thing.
