Re: Honest question (especially for guys)

Interesting question. I'm a woman, but when I'm trapped in a conversation with someone who's inclined to say dumb stuff, I'm fairly sure they don't think of it that way otherwise they'd probably be too embarrassed to say it.

The gender issue you referred to... I don't know. I think that's more a case where the man is clearly an asshole of the first order, so for the woman it's a lose-lose situation. A man with such a low opinion of women won't be happy if he thinks a woman is wasting his time with dumb conversation, but he's also probably not going to be happy if the conversation is intelligent because he'll feel threatened by it. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't in his view.

I'm sorry your dad is a dick, anon. I hope you don't take his dickishness to heart.

The first part is how I feel, in general. Even if someone is talking to hear themselves talk, I assume they don't think the stuff they're saying is dumb. No matter how dumb I might think it is.

With my dad, his attitude is kind of "I know you're not saying anything important, and YOU know you're not saying anything important so quit pretending you think you are."

Or if I try to say my side of something, he'll just say I'm trying to get the last word. And then of course everything I say becomes meaningless because it's just me "getting the last word" not me trying to actually express something.

Your dad doesn't really sound like a very pleasant person, and I think the assumptions he makes about other people reflect that rather than the norm.
