So the douche from the previous post specifically asks for women to tell him if he's off track, and then deletes my comment telling him he's off track. Quel suprise.

Comments

The current last five comments are all of the 'dude, get the fuck over yourself' variety, tho yours doesn't seem to be one of them.

Way off track. Like..way off track.

There’s a hundred million types because women come in so many shapes and sizes. The brands and types are in different shapes and sizes.

And frankly…are you dense? She buys the same one every month. There are three things you need to remember. 1) Your wife’s birthday..2) Your anniversary..3) Brand of tampon/maxi-pad your wife uses.

And if you’re having issues finding your wife’s brand…try asking.. Its the year 2000..(and nine) get over it.

Dumbass.

Buying tampons shouldn’t be a big deal. If you don’t want to keep having to buy them, though, there’s always the option of switching to reusable menstrual cups!

I dunno, dude. I’ve bought tampons before, and not only was it neither hilarious nor mortifying, it wasn’t any different from buying any other item on the grocery list.

Yes, there are a lot of varieties, but as long as the person who needs them told you which variety they want, it’s just not particularly challenging.

I’m also not sure why a cell phone call to clarify if the information wasn’t complete is so incredibly terrifying. It’s not substantially different from calling to ask if they meant crunchy or smooth peanut butter.

Maybe I’m just not embarrassed about the fact that I live with a woman? I dunno.

Anyway, you asked people to tell you if you were off-track, so, um… yeah, you’re off track. This is one of those, “Dude, just get over it,” situations.

Um, dude? They’re part of life, part of living with a woman. If you think buying tampons is embarrassing, you should be thanking your lucky stars that you weren’t born a woman and have to actually deal with the whole “bleeding uncontrollably for a week” thing. Not to mention the “what mood am I going to be in for this five minutes?” Oh, and don’t forget the “oh crap, there’s a Hallmark commercial on (or I found the kids’ baby pictures, or other such sentimental things) and now I can’t stop crying”. It’s no barrel of laughs to live through, believe you me. And some women get cramps, sometimes so badly that all they can do is pop some painkillers and curl on the bed around a heating pad.

Buying tampons? Dude, you got off EASY.

And I’m still not sure why something that’s a basic fact of life, and that 51% of the population uses, is “embarrassing” to buy. It’s not like people are going to think YOU’RE the one using them, and clearly this means you’re close enough to a woman to know when she needs them and her preferences.

Seriously, not that big of a deal. And if that’s the worst thing that ever happens to you, enjoy your charmed life.

real men are confident and self-assured because they know their shit. they know precisely what feminine hygiene product their wife uses because it’s right there in the bathroom. they know which brand and which type because they know to do research and their wife will gladly tell them.

real men have confidence. why the heck should they care what the grocery store clerk thinks? for a real man it’s no more embarrassing to buy tampons than it is to buy motor oil. of which there are a gazillion varieties too, and strangely enough, that doesn’t present a problem to the man who does his research.

I always figured that like carrying a woman’s purse for her, buying tampons is a badge of pride: it means you’re getting laid.

The thing about tampons and pads is that you only use them once a month. It’s not like toilet paper that gets used every day, so you notice you’re running out and buy more first…no, wait, some people even run out of toilet paper sometimes, don’t they!

Yeah, they're all LJ friends of mine. He has said that he deletes comments that are too hateful or antagonistic for him: http://serenejournal.livejournal.com/1165212.html?thread=7364252#t7364252
