I think the reasons were of religious nature

You could also get a giant pirate flag for that? If you can't find a dress.

He already has a pirate costume which is way too big for him, so it sort of looks like a dress, but that wasn't a "real dress" he said. Guess I could try sew something out of a flag or something, but I think there ought to be a "girl's pirate costume" someplace or other. We'll see.

I know a lot of girly pirate costumes.

Not for his age though.

Pink was seen as a childish version of red, so was given to young boys - red being seen as a fine masculine colour

Dunno why blue used to be a girls colour though - could well be to do with religion

I always thought it had to do with black and white photography too? The way the colors were shown on there?

Nah, as far as I recall, it's something which had been around long before photography was invented.

Though don't quote me on that - to be honest, it's not something I have ever cared all that much about

My eldest daughter likes black - because witches wear black and witches are fun.

I asked her if she wanted to dress as a princess for Fasching and she told me that witches were more fun.
So at her kindergarten, there was a room full of boys dressed as superheroes, girls as princesses... and one rather happy [albeit out of place] witch

iirc it was Jesus-related but don't remember the details now

The funny thing about these rules is they keep changing. If recall pink was boys a Loonnng time ago.

I heard it's still a thing in Asia (Japan?) but dunno where I got that from anymore and too lazy to google.

Just make sure as she grows up she knows who the best damn witch ever is. One Esmeralda Weatherwax.

Man, you must be dying to introduce her to Tiffany Aching? Maybe in a few years?

Damn right - though I'm worried she may suddenly decide that hags aren't as fun as she had previously thought, paint herself blue, adopt a regional accent, and go off into the wild to start stealin' from (and fightin' with) random folk.

I'm not sure that I am looking forward to that little talk with the authorities, when this eventuality finally comes around

 

[Lambu]

Wow xD I'm expericiencing what Lambu was with his phone. The emotes are blinking around the screen.

Yay, Im not crazy! \(._.)/

The color thing is purely a cultural matter, you dont even need to go back in time. People give a symbolism or meaning to a color and then its spread with culture, same with the clothing or any other gender issue.

No no. It just means Lala finaly snapped.

You're both crazy.

 

[Lambu]

Oh...

That would explain why I answered that sheep, one cannot be in his right mind to do it.

Makes me wonder again if in like 20y our kids will be around here and if yours will also be a bully, Tommy ^( *-* )^

How am I a bully?

You're the meanest bitch in this place.

 

[Reebi]

You forgot to mention being a good friend and actually caring, because back when I was single, that didn't help at all.

Sounds like you were friendzone If a woman is interested she will generally let the guy know. Let them approach you

Nothing hurts a man's feelings like saying that you like them.

Women don't want to hurt them by saying they don't like them

True story. Because my wife told me she only noticed me and found me somewhat interesting because I kept ignoring her and was an asshole to people that night.

Being an asshole is actually a good strategy too, we tested it out at times, for fun. And I'd always succeed.

No, it was because you let her have her space

Aye, women do love bastards

Which?

No we don't. Urban myth. You guys need to watch Sex and the City

Yep, when I flip the phone horizontally the problem is gone. It seems the thing only happens when I read in mobile version.

So I guess the only thing I can do is deal with it.



Yeah, my sister and friends gave me all those lessons a long time ago, though its quite difficult to find the balance for us guys.

You see, girls dont like to push things, they almost always are the ones that should make the step (unless its clear she likes the guy but she's too shy to do it) or else you may creep them out. Most times they are fond of you, just dont see you like "that" so they are afraid of destroying the friendship by making the step.

A good friend of mine always told me the same: "Friendzone us!" but at the same time girls like to get attention so its good to make sure you care for how they are doing, treat them like any other friend but at the same time demonstrate her she's unique and special. There goes the teasing or the affection, its like a dance with invisible lines and we guys often fail to see them.

Shobu, you might have to apologize to her for being so straightforward and tell her you cherish your relationship as it is, remind her that, thats my advice.

A man who gets it! !! I always knew you were a ladies man That's probably why most people think you are a girl - you understand them

My kid pics are so bad I don't even ...

Spoiler

I bet giving birth to me was painful for mom to gimme that haircut.

I have bowl cut photos of my sisters and I You aren't alone.

 

[liductan]

Apparently according to my sibilings, I was bully when I was a toddler. I was mean to the other children. I was violent and agressive. I used to beat them up. I couldn't be left alone with other kids because I would attack them by bitting, pinching, hitting etc...
I couldn't be alone with a baby either....
They didn't know what to do with me for awhile...

I don't remember any of this....from such a young age but I was mean to certain people as kid. I had a cousin that I did like to pick on...

 

[GrySun]

Ah the complex mindsets of bullies

 

[liductan]

What are you implying?

 

[z.5]

No we don't. Urban myth.

You know nothing, Jon Snow

You guys need to watch Sex and the City

What did I say to make you hate me that much?!?

Why would you suggest something which is bound to cause me pain?
