I think it definitely could play into it. My mirroring of my best friend’s speech patterns is so pronounced that my son can tell if I’ve talked to her recently.

I think it’s safe to say that women are socialized to be more attuned to social interactions and to be more accommodating, and mirroring plays into both of those things.

I am 1000% on board with implementing this. Can I be that invested? I can't do percentages because of my lady brain.

Hi - Katie Mingle here. Just FYI, I haven’t been sending that reply out to “numerous listeners.” I just wrote it to blow off some steam. It worked. So far I haven’t actually sent it to anyone.

I know. Wherever he lives where men do that, I want to go to there.

LOL, I totally read that as “acknowledging farts.”

I really like to listen to the CONTENT of NPR, but pretty much every single person that speaks drives me up the wall. I’m pretty sure I have misophonia (really. I’m actually not joking about that at all, the way some people say they’re “so OCD lulz”), and I don’t know, maybe their mics are turned up too loud or…

I cannot handle Ira Glass’ voice. I just... hate it so much. I do enjoy the show, and so I put up with his voice because of that, but it’s some serious fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

It took serious persuading from trusted friends for me to start listening to TAL, because I hated Ira’s voice so much. I’ve gotten used to it now and love the show, but he was definitely a significant barrier to entry for me.

same. how can we make this actually come true?

this is trolling but honestly it sounds great to me.

I’m the same way most of the time, I just didn’t wanna be the first one to say it. And you right, no one can compare themselves to a threesome, that’s just Candy Land fantasy stuff for those lonely nights you’re *away* on *business*. Like your secret readings of “The Confederate Flag Turned Me Gay”.

Lol WELL HE LET HIMSELF BE STRONG ARMED. Maybe he needs to do more bicep curls. (yes I did just body shame and victim blame your husband)

I can’t stand it when I find out someone who likes me has unattractive exes. I’m like “THAT’S your type? Do I LOOK like that? ugh!!!” it’s warped, I know.

Well he did end up marrying you, so I’m not sure that’s narcissism so much as just acknowledging facts.

The farting and yelling DO need to stop. Maybe you should see a specialist.

You are. By leaps and bounds.

Clone thyself and the gate to ecstasy opens.

Plus side: touchable boobs. Take that, non corporeal sky king!
