So, in this case, the "source" IS the "points." You are the source backing up one or more of the points, to whatever degree you feel you might have any of those unrealistic expectations. If you don't have any of them, then my post is not for you. Simple really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a thing that is made of rubber that is meant for opening jars.. Another also has a handle for the ones that I can't really open myself without help.. It works really good and i use it more than anything just because it's so much easier. I used to use one of these: And in looking for the above image I discovered what a kitchen utensil that was given to me is actually for! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine with the handle is more like the one on the bottom.. It works really good.. The jars that really give me a hard time are those damn big pickle jars. You'd think one of those terminator robots got a job in a pickle factory tightening jars or something.. hehehe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I did that too for a while, until that jar of mayo decided to break at the bottom ..... With more luck than wisdom, I had not a single scratch on my hands, but cleaning the floor took a while. Now I use sanding paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casidy Silvercloud Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) I just rap the side/top of the jar (lid) with either a butter knife or the handle of whatever utensil is in my hand. Works like a charm on even the most difficult of jars. I've never had it not work. Edited September 15, 2023 by Casidy Silvercloud 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetheslot Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Seems like problems and challenges should be different here. Anyone can look however they want. What is left is your personality and how you interact with others. If you're a nice, engaging person, I don't think you'll have trouble here. Try the Thundr app. If you aren't able to meet women, I think the approach should be examined. Figure out how to make a sincere connection with someone, the rest should come easy after that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few analysts have applied it to modern online dating. You're referring to the Choice Overload Bias or The Paradox of Choice I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but in the meantime it's become a really useful thread for those of us who have trouble opening jars! Which is actually a more real problem than women's "unreasonable expectations." Me? I have "unreasonable expectations" that jars designed to be opened can be opened by anyone with even moderately strong hands.

If it were easy to open, the seal wouldn't protect the contents from the air and it'd spoil faster. We can officially close the thread as the question has been answered, women do have unreasonable expectations!
