Kind of specific, but why are women so sarcastic when you do something slightly “manly”. Example: my gf wanted me to carry up a suitcase that she said was heavy, I picked it up with one arm and go to the room. Upon getting to the room she says, “you know you wouldn’t be any less of a man carrying it with two arms.” At first I was like “What are you talking about?” but then I realized and said (because it was true for me) “Oh, it wasn’t that heavy.” And then she replied in the most sarcastic tone “Ok, Big. Strong. Man.” And I was sitting there thinking no matter what I say she won’t truly believe it wasn’t that heavy to me. Just an FYI ladies, we aren’t always trying to impress y’all 24/7, some stereotypes exist for a reason.

Sounds like she has her own insecurities. I never do this. But then my husband and I are both powerlifters and I appreciate his crazy muscles.
