For those of you just joining us, the OP claimed to be upset that his girlfriend let a strange magazine salesman into their house, who the OP promptly told to leave, as the girlfriend is not allowed to invite strangers into the home. The chauvinistic manner in which he described it, made him seem like a massive tool. GAF called his sorry ass out on it, and he became defensive. The GAF Detectives did some research and discovered this thread made by the OP last year. The OP then claimed that the previous thread was a lie he made up for kicks. All while GAF nears ever closer to downtime. Will this trainwreck get resolved in time? Will the OP get a tag? Will this thread be locked? Will his girlfriend ever get to read a magazine?

Let's find out.

I don't see anything wrong with what he did. If the apartment is in his name and he's paying for it, he can set the rules. If he doesn't want anyone stepping foot into his home, then that's what it is.

This is pretty crazy. I mean he is living with his girlfriend not a child. Sure you can set some rules, but determining who can step into their apartment? Come on. Even if she isn't paying anything, if she is really his girlfriend, they should still have basically equal say in how things work in their living situation.

Yea just went through the FBI reports. Shouldn't have surprised me now that I think about it. If you look at the offenders part for homicide, you'll see it heavily dominated by males. So it's mostly male on male murder. I couldn't find anything for basic assault but I wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly male on male violence. I wasn't disassociating just regular assault with rape. Rape is almost certainly higher for females.

Yeah but I don't think her money should be going to salesmen, you know?

Well even then stranger rape is much less likely to occur than acquaintance rape.

Yeah, I agree that the girlfriend made a pretty dumb move, but they should talk about it together. He shouldn't tell her what to do, because she will just get defensive and argue. Just tell her how you feel, not what to do.
 
I haven't read through the entire thread OP but you have my support. You were 100% in the right to kick out the salesman AND to talk down to your GF. She did something incredibly stupid.

im sorry in advance
 
OP, you have to realize that your GF is, presumably, perfectly capable of making decisions on her own, and doesn't need some alpha male, "I'll-handle-this" type figure telling her what she can and can't do. Unless she's completely helpless or something. This isn't the 1940s.

I had a joke about the OP but it would be in very bad taste.

Anyway yes that is true. It's hard to say whether in cases like this who would be safer opening the door. A male is probably more likely to escalate a situation resulting in violence however if the person was determined to rob the place then and there, it might be safer for a male to open the door as a detterent. What I would need to see would be a breakdown of the victims of home assault.
 
omg u made me so clammy deuring the movie, i just wanted to slap u there. ur dick is so goddamn mediocre i wanna engage in the process of procreation without the outcome in ur backseat
 
Caught up on thread. Pertinent question would be if OP feels he would be allowed to let salesmen into their home without GF present.
 
We clowning around on a trollish/idiot OP and everything, but I'd be concerned if my wife was the type to let anybody who knocked on the door into the house, too. And the statistics on who would get killed by whom doesn't really matter much, honestly, when it still hovers around the 22 percent rate for male-on-female homicide. Especially coupled with other crimes like rape that are much higher for the same offender/victim dynamic.

I mean, my wife grew up in the country where everybody was friendly and everybody knew you on a first name basis. I grew up in trailer parks and shit parts of cities and towns where you keep weapons on hand to deter meth heads and angry drunks. I had some things to explain to her, and she had some things to explain to me when we moved to the country side.

Sure, the OP (if real) used odd verbiage, but some are acting like telling your spouse/significant loved one anything is tantamount to verbal abuse. I don't agree.
 
I'm a dragona expert. Though there would have been some bans here, I don't think it would have been OP. The kid who said no=know in autocorrect, and that the gf obviously had the mind of a 10 year old, that guy would have been a goner for sure.

Are you seriously confused as to why she is mad?

It's her apartment just as much as it is yours.

Yeah, why don't you tell your gf to let strangers in your house so they can rape her, BRILLIANT IDEA!

Op's gf got hustled, hell I've been hustled before too, never again!

So would you be allowed to let people into the house without your wife present?

So I've heard about the reign of Dragona. How did it end?

Bullshit man. That magazine salesman is most likely a far better person than you. I hope someone steals her from you because honestly it sounds like you've got it coming.

I'll answer that when you can find where I said "allowed" anywhere in that post. Let's not play the stupid game of taking a post and extrapolating it to easily-mockable, not-at-all accurate conclusions, shall we?

I can't find a link to the extended story. But if I recall correctly, there was controversy over her allowing her BF to moderate on her account.

You have to look at the individual arrest statistics for simple assault (no weapons). The overall charts and tables on the FBI site only include assault cases where weapons are used, basically. And physical assaults far outnumber rapes, so rape victims being predominantly female doesn't skew violence victims toward being female. Bottom line is it's a far more dangerous world if you're a man. Same holds for occupational hazards.

It's not really a stupid game.

Here's the thing. The OP walked into his wife dealing with someone who he didn't particularly like in their house, got angry and (apparently strongly) asked his wife to deny entry to not-known-to-him people without his permission in the future. I think the reversal is an important thing to think about; if your positions were reversed, would you think that her position of being angry and strongly asking you to not let people she doesn't know into the house in the future would be reasonable?

If you think that you can make better decisions about people at the door than she can, then it's patronizing and you'd be treating her like a child. The fair alternative would be to say that if she isn't allowed to let strangers into the home without you present then you aren't allowed to let strangers into the home without her present.
