The number of cleaning, and celebrity snark videos I've been shown proves this is not a gendered issue...

Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

Crazy how couples work out like that!

I don't understand why you'd send them to eachother if you both know the other doesn't like them. Like, what? I'm happily married and me and my partner send videos specifically because we either think the other would like them or want to make the other groan at a bad joke.

It's less that we "send each other videos we know the other doesn't like" and more "when we're relaxing and watching videos, we will show each other a funny video or two but eventually neither of us really cares about the videos as much as the other but neither of us dislikes them enough to stop it because it's not about the videos it's about spending time with each other"

And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don't know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!

Next thing you’re gonna try to tell me is they want to show us stuff because they care about us too???

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I know it’s shocking to hear, but women have feelings and can love people, too!

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure you’re making this up.

[–] sneakypersimmon@lemmy.today 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You're right, women don't exist lol

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Like birds! Are women just featherless bipedal land birds?

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

Yup, for me it's the crochet and flower arranging videos. Every once in a while I get a cat meme which is nice.
