You’ve heard of Mansplaining. Now there’s Shelaborating.

This is where you ask a woman a yes or no question, and instead she’s still answering the question 15 minutes later.

worse, you get through n minutes and theres still no actual answer in all the dross.

True

There is only instance each when a woman will use these words.

“Yes”, will be repetitive and a man’s back or chest will be shredded by fingernails.

“No”, will be used when she realizes her battery operated boyfriend will have more moves and stamina.

Everthing else requires a detailed answer and explanation because the opposite sex won’t be listening anyway.

because the opposite sex won’t be listening anyway.
And yet you're still talking. 😆

Seriously, though, I get the need to explain in more detail, because the answer isn't always a simple yes or no.

@LordShadowfire The real fear should be when we stop talking 🤷🏻‍♀
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Pinkstarburst Yeah, that's terrifying.

Yeah, closed-end questions should take no more than one second to answer.

I just thought of something - the French word for "Elaborate" is "élaborer".
So for "Shelaborate" one could say, "elleaborer".

Not that anyone cares.

But yeah when someone mansplains of shelaborates, What you do NOT want to say is, "Can you give me the long version of that?"

Why you gotta call me out like that 😐

25 minutes later..

“…but that’s what Dave says anyway, and I’m not sure I agree. Anyway, what was the question again?”

“Does Chinese sound good for dinner?” 🤦‍♂

If you ask the time they will build you a clock 🙃
Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
@kodiac No, they’ll suggest you build one…they aren’t the one that wants the time. Then they’ll question why you wasted so much time on that 😂
Doesn't that apply to Dotard?
We're just expounding on it lol

Is it funny because it's true? Or too true to be funny? Asking for an hypothetical, please don't anyone try to answer. I only have 17 hours before I have to be at work.

Think I might be a woman then 🤔 😏

EVEN when you ask her to marry you!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
Sounds laboring. 🙃😊

That's my gf, but I think that's attributable to her ADHD. Every story is a miniseries. Many of them take longer than the actual event did.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@CestManan That's just it--she launches into a ten-part miniseries about nothing with dozens of superfluous characters, incidents, and situations. No warning.
CestManan · 46-50, F
@uncalled4 I hope that doesn't happen during, umm, "tender" moments in the bedroom. 😄

But yeah I used to work with a guy who did that. Of course he was autistic, think "Rain man".
He would follow co-workers around telling them about how on some obscure date in 1971, he saw a Canadian license plate (we are in America). Or some song he heard on the radio.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@CestManan Noooo, lol.

Not everyone with ADHD has that "endless storytelling" thing, though; it's just that lots of people with ADHD don't have an OFF switch. Autistic people tend to live in this hyper-logical world, which I guess is why innuendo and social cues don't register with them.

I'm lucky enough to have OCD, so I get some of that.
