I would do almost anything for my friends and family if they ask. I hate being told to do something though. Or it being expected of me because I am female or something. Now, that last one is a different kind of make me, a fun one, those are ok...lol...or teasing especially ( word) foreplay. Do you feel the same?

That one always makes me laugh, Linux nerd that I am. Later we can get into an argument about how to pronounce "sudo." Is it "sue-doo" or "sue-doh." I favor the latter, but my position is a minority one.

In other news: I just ordered a new electric bicycle. I hope I don't regret my decision, but I also hope it gets my fat ass out of the house and doing some exercise.

It’s not limited to ‘female’. I hold exactly the same view. Ask me? Glad to assist you. Demand or expect? Nope. And in asking, please acknowledge that I am also doing other things; don’t carelessly interrupt what’s going on with a ‘request’.

I have two girlfriends who are struggling with this. They took a trip to Africa together a few years ago and bonded as friends on that trip. But ever since, it’s been deterioration as they essentially disregard each other’s sovereignty with endless petty demands.

Inconsiderate and demanding - big time no no's. Manipulation not good either.
Best head over to Burger King. They advertised have it your way

If I go to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich I'm just going to go ahead and make one for you too.
And then if you don't want it, it's all good - I'll figure out something to do with it

This was the webcomic version of the make me a sandwich trope.

magic wins I guess.

That looks like fun! I’ve never ridden an electric bicycle. Although I have seen them here

I am more than happy to do anything in my power for friends and family. But demands, I won’t do.

I hope so. It's supposed to have three levels of pedal assist, and an electric only mode. With pedal assist it's supposed to get upwards of 60 miles on a charge. I doubt I want to be in the saddle of that thing for "upwards of 60 miles."
