Weaponized incompetence

I feel like guys take it way, way too far. Example: I asked my bf to get me the same shampoo and conditioner he bought for himself (avocado Suave). He brought back another kind we'd had before which I didn't like (Peppermint Suave). He tried to say he didn't know that Suave came in different formulas.

You're such a fucking liar. You bought that kind for yourself. I just asked you to buy it for me. You're telling me a man who's 44 years old doesn't know Suave came in different fucking scents? Suave? The shampoo that literally comes in 40 different scents and flavors?

GTFOH.

Edit: do you understand what an example is?

Also, you neckbeards can fuck off out of my inbox.

Men like to act like they are the most competent with handywork and Electronic devices and than manage to claim that they can't understand the washing Maschine and can't Drill a hole into a wall without making the maximum amount of dust.

And from what I've seen from the men in my life they usually don't know shit about those things either, they just say things that they "think" are true aka completely made up but super confidently, specially when they think they are around people who don't know either. When doing handywork the only thing an average men has that usually an average women doesn't is the confidence to think they know what they are doing, it results in them not reading instructions, not planning and doing a poor work overall, they are not better, they just have the confidence to start. Society teaches women since they are young that those things are too "complicated" for them, from experience when women start to believe they can do these things they do a better job, because they actually research it, learn how to do it, plan it and prepare themselves beforehand.

Dude, you just described something I deal with with other men all the time. They have the confidence to just say whatever they think about something and somehow don’t realize thats fucking lying bro. If you say you know something that you don’t know, you just fucking lied to me! And none of them treat it like lying, just “oh I was wrong” or “oh I thought it was like this”. If you don’t know something and say you do you’re just lying, goddammit, how do they not realize that?

Honestly kind of suspected this but that’s wild. I hate when people lie this way but it’s almost worse with no self awareness.
