Introducing GRATITUDE™: For Women Who Won’t Appreciate Their Husbands
I recently asked Perplexity AI to:
Please write a prescription ad for a drug called GRATITUDE. The drug GRATITUDE is for women who don’t appreciate their hardworking husbands. These women like to complain about them online rather than be grateful for their men and the work they do. Make the ad snarky, like you’re rightfully making fun of those women for not seeing how good they have it.
Why “Gratitude”?
If you read my previous post on ungrateful women who complain online about their hardworking husbands or single men in general, then you can se how fitting this snarky follow-up is.
The truth is that while I’m not going to start policing other women online, I’m not above showing those WHO CHOSE WELL how good they already have it and to never take it for granted.
And why a fictitious ad? Honestly, because it seemed fun(ny). I was getting ready one day when I had both these posts in my mind, and it felt like there were a lot of ideas swirling around up there. Then I realized I could ask AI to help me put some of that into words, so I did, and the rest is magic.
I may have a(n) Honors degree in Marketing, another one in Psychology, and a Minor in Rhetoric.. and I may have helped to promote luxury automotive brands, small and multinational businesses, and one of the biggest autogroups in the nation (among others).. but I’ll humbly admit it’d have taken me FAR longer to come out with such an ad than the few seconds it took Perplexity to craft this beauty:
Without further ado, here it is: “My” ad for a prescription drug called GRATITUDE
Are you a woman suffering from chronic complaint syndrome? Do you find yourself posting lengthy rants online about your husband leaving socks on the floor, even though he just worked a 12-hour shift to keep your Netflix subscription active? You may be eligible for a prescription to GRATITUDE™—the only medication proven to help women see the glass as half full (and maybe finally thank the guy who filled it).
Ask Yourself:
- Do you roll your eyes when your husband breathes too loudly, but forget he just fixed the leaky faucet you’ve been nagging about since 2022?
- Is your idea of “self-care” scrolling through forums to swap stories about your partner’s tragic inability to read your mind?
- Have you ever said, “He never does anything around here!” while tripping over a freshly folded basket of laundry?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, GRATITUDE™ may be right for you!
How Does GRATITUDE™ Work?
GRATITUDE™ targets the part of your brain responsible for selective memory, helping you recall all the good things your husband actually does. Within days, you may notice side effects like spontaneous thank-yous, warm smiles, or even the urge to make his favorite dinner instead of another social media post about his “man cold.”
Possible Side Effects:
- Sudden appreciation for home-cooked meals
- Uncontrollable urges to say “thank you”
- Decreased desire to compare your marriage to Instagram influencers
- Risk of improved marital satisfaction and fewer group chats about “useless men”
Do not take GRATITUDE™ if you are allergic to happiness, teamwork, or the idea that maybe—just maybe—your husband’s not the villain in your story.
Ask your doctor if GRATITUDE™ is right for you. Because sometimes, the best medicine is a little perspective.
GRATITUDE™: For women ready to trade complaints for compliments. Side effects may include a happier home, a grateful heart, and the shocking realization that your husband isn’t actually a monster for forgetting to put the toilet seat down.
Stop scrolling. Start appreciating. Try GRATITUDE™ today!
These are the sources Perplexity used as reference: (A couple reasons I prefer Perplexity AI is it’s based on the DeepSeek model but it’s here in the US, and for its ability both research various sources and cites them for you so you can look into how it “reasoned” its answer.)
