My first serious boyfriend taught me how to change the oil, change a tire, and rotate the tires on my car. Also that I don’t like anal.
Hmmm. Technique and protocol is important in all of these.
Did it hurt?
Bahaha! Yeah, when he whipped out that 4-way tire iron…
A tire iron up your ass? No wonder you don’t like anal
Never heard a phallus called that. Youch
I applaud the first part.
Rotating the tires is really important! I really hope you do it every month as the manufacturer requires. Few people do.
My GF in college whipped out excel and did some math in the spreadsheet while we were talking about something. So I decided to learn excel and that’s been a super useful thing to know my whole life.
Does him teaching me how to kiss count?
I drew Fire from Ifrit once.
he taught me piracy
That I’m allowed to have boundaries and a good partner won’t cross them.
How to roll big doinks
Not a girlfriend, but a date (that ultimately didn’t go anywhere). She was a teacher and I mentioned despite being a software engineer and having to take up to Calc 2 in university, I never actually learned long division. So, she taught me.
How did you escape the pointless toil that is long division?
Only up to calc 2?! Why did they make me take Calc 3, Numerical Analysis, Discrete Math, and Sets and Logic?!
Same.
Some of those I understand complaining about but honestly Sets & Logic is a great class for a programmer. I wish that was in the standard math path so that everyone got a little of it in high school, the closest I got was doing proofs in geometry which while that is a sort of logic training it doesn’t really teach you how to make use of anything.
Also, depending what you’re building exactly, advanced Calc and Numerical Analysis may be very useful and/or required to perform. Especially if you’re trying to accurately model something that happens in meatspace.
How to put on a bra.
Taking a bra off from underneath a shirt!
Back massage.
How to say so when something isn’t good enough. I’m super prone to just accept shitty delivery/products/service. My wife is amazing at saying “I was super disappointed” but in a way that gets the other person on board and often rectifies the issue. She’s super awesome at expressing limits without aggression and it’s definitely made me a better person to be around; before I would accept my own borders being crossed while the pressure was building and then explode with rage. Much easier to deal with things up front and then be authentic. Still learning but she’s great at this.
Adding salt to your ketchup when eating fries, instead of salting the fries. That way it’s always salty enough on every fry. Such an easy hack.
How to listen to a woman’s intent over her words.
My wife taught me to cook and that I was allowed to have feelings. I taught her a bunch of computer stuff and that she was allowed to have feelings.
My ex taught me how to crochet, which was pretty cool of her. I’ve always wanted to do stuff with yarn and having somewhere there to guide and correct me was so useful. I’m not sure I would have stuck with it if I tried to learn via online tutorials.
