I'm a man who hates watching videos on my phone, but I'm already married. I'll ask around tho.

Seems like there is a solution she hasn't considered. Marrying a woman who has and uses her own phone. It won't be "a man's phone" then.
We don't know that she hasn't considered that option.
Or a man that doesn't use a phone, only a laptop.
Or a non-binary that doesn't use any technology.
Or a clone of herself, that way she's just showing herself her own phone.
Me: "Remind me, which ingredients do we need again?"
Spouse: hands me a 10 minute youtube video
Are you kidding me? My fb chat with my wife is nothing but memes and videos from her
I don't get it.
Don't have a kid. You'll be made to watch videos on their phone. For hours' worth of your life.
If it's exclusively David Attenborough documentaries, then that's okay.
A man can get into a lot of trouble, if he doesn't watch the endless tiktok reals with enthusiasm and excitement.
I guess people don’t know the stand-up comedian Blair Socci yet. She’s kind of funny but I have a feeling this was an idea for a joke that isn’t fully formed. A lot of comedians use social media to workshop their stuff…
Showing me the weird shit you watch on YouTube is a requirement for me, I want to know what videos you watch when you're alone and bored with nothing to do.
PBS Space Time
Matt's Off Road Recovery
Bobby Fingers' Michael Jackson on Fire Diorama is the first weird video I'll share. Good litmus test for the relationship I think.
Enjoy lots of archaeology videos and old movies.
I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.
I show my girlfriend videos about how car indicators work.
Technology Connections is an awesome channel though.
You might as well be watching videos on witchcraft. /s
Its not about me liking it, its about knowing about what intensely interests you, but that just sounds like a conversation with my mate, so I'm in for that.
Sploosh
If only there was another option... kinda like a gal pal that would do that weird thing with the wisk and the cattleprod, and didn't try to show you their monster truck videos on a broken Galaxy 4.
Ah well, that must not exist, guess that's that.
babe wake up new 3 and a half hour video essay about plagiarism just dropped

What's wrong with men's phones? Is she afraid of fucking cooties?
Babe, wake up! NEW ROMAN AQUEDUCTS LORE JUST DROPPED!
There's this nifty feature on phones now where you can send a link to the other person's phone. My wife and I text each other stuff from the internet all day long.
And I don't want to be made to watch TikTok videos.
Fortunately TikTok broke their mobile website, so nobody can share links with you and expect you to watch them if you don't have the app, and I make it abundantly clear that I'll never install that trash.
You can turn your mobile browser to desktop view and it loads fine. You don't need to tell them that though 🤫
My wife shows me wayyyy more videos on her phone than I show her on mine
Most of the stuff I share is still images/comics/gifs etc
Same. It takes a very special video to get me to turn my sound on. Definitely more of a static content feller

There's plenty other reasons that disqualify me from marriage but sharing videos on my phone is not one of them
But then you get to show him all your videos on your phone
I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, "I don't get it, why are you showing this to me?"
I got married even though it meant waiting for every restaurant meal to be photographed and posted to Instagram before I could take a bite.
Why did you do that?
One of those moments when I'm glad my wife cares almost as little about social media as I do.

We are not going out to eat often if I gotta wait for the perfect photo. You better get the waiter to take you back to the kitchen if you want snapshots of the food before I see it and take a bite.

Astonishing that there are dipshits who managed to be offended even by this.
If i know you and you're in my general vicinity youre gonna be watching a YouTube video even if you're married to someone else i'm a slut that way
My wife tells me dad jokes. Really really terrible dad jokes. Ones that make me roll my eyes, and I'm a dad. That's how bad they are. But they make her laugh so I'm ok with that.
i have a tip to get back at her. whenever her phone rings, make sure you say 'its for you'. i still find this hilarious after 15 years . she is less amused, but at least im entertained.

Nah, I'm too Gen X to watch videos on my phone, let me pull it up on my laptop.
Videos are a big screen activity.
Have you really lived until you have watched a hour long marble race while cuddling
For me it's more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.
