Do you fucking idiots know what a joke is?
Establish dominance by tying me up and whipping me raw. Fuck off with this weak ass passive aggressive bullshit.
I don’t know where this gender war crap comes from. I always dated people that I liked and wanted to be around. It was even fun sometimes.
This sounds like an updated variant of “I hate my wife” boomer humor.
Woman makes joke at expense of men.
Everyone: “Yas gurl slay.”
Man responds with joke at expense of women.
Also everyone: “Omg, misogyny! Quit it with this gender war bs!”
It’s a gender war whenever a man says something dumb, but when a woman says anything misandristic then all of a sudden “there is no gender war, wdym”
I’m tired, boss.
A lot of lemmings are pretty much what Republicans imagine liberals are.
I just don’t want to share food. Unless it’s sharing plates.
It’s when she says she doesn’t want fries, then eats most of your fries.
Yes, I would have bought large if we were going to share.
This is /r/SipsTea leaking into Lemmy.
The internet. It full of wild shit that no one should ever do but people pretend bc it’s funny or edgy.
Eating off my plate is a good way to lose a hand.
I would have thought you’d be eating out of a bowl. :P
That would be less messy. 🤔
I’ve tried to eat soup off of a plate. It was always awkward when I started lapping.
I know it’s a total cliché, but I’m so glad I was lucky enough to exit the dating world in the early 2010s
Shit seems baad
It’s abysmal. Getting ghosted so often you don’t even know where you went wrong. A couple weeks ago i matched with someone who liked MCU movies, and I do too. I asked which were some of her favorites and when I reopened the app an hour later she deleted the convo 🤷🏻♂️
For what it’s worth, she might have found someone she liked and disabled the app with no bearing on you or your quality.
Or in the case of my friends, find someone she didn’t like enough that she’s taking a break from the apps.
Gosh same. Me it was 2014, back when tinder still showed your mutual friends.
This vitriol around spending money on dates is so annoying. Like if it concerns you why don’t you just do cheap dates like coffee or a joint by the river like a sane person?
It weeds out any people whose values don’t align with yours on that front.
For me, it’s not so much the idea of paying. Although most women I’ve dated have preferred to split the bill and I’m alright with that because it’s their choice and they’re choosing independence. I find that attractive.
For me, the issue is the fact that even while dismantling the idea of gender roles that previously applied to women, so many people still expect men to conform to certain gender roles, i.e. “pay for dates,” “be a breadwinner/protector,” “take the risks/initiative by asking the questions, making the moves, etc.” (but not the wrong moves! Be confident, but not too confident!).
Of course, if a man thinks of himself as a breadwinner or a protector, people say that makes him a misogynist. But if he fails to perform those roles, then he’s “not a real man” and “undatable.” And people wonder why there aren’t more examples of healthy masculinity? Do you understand how difficult it is to navigate all this mixed messaging?
So basically, even though I find myself attracted to independent women, if I say something to the effect of “I prefer dating women who split the bill,” most people would call me cheap, or accuse me of fetishizing independent women, and either way I’d still end up being called a misogynist.
I don’t date anymore, cause I got sick of all the hoops I had to jump through only to still be wrong. Sorry, but I have more self-respect than that (barely).
Yeah it was not fun to reenter the dating world recently but staying in a broken relationship would have been worse. I’m hoping good people still find good people through whatever medium. But I’m understanding that’s harder now (but still worth it). This type of idiotic take has always existed.
Yeah it’s so bad I never even had a date in my life rip. It’s not that I get rejected a lot, in fact I never even got to this point, since I don’t even know where I would have to go to meet any women.
You won’t ever know if you don’t ever try. Find some third spaces you think are interesting enough and put yourself out there.
That’s terrible advice. This isn’t the 90s. Dude would get torn up trying that these days.
Those people deserve each other
So nobody else has to deal with them
They seem like they would set their barriers pretty quick. They might be great for each other.
The ‘us vs them’ mindset continues to propagate.
If we’re not sharing, I don’t want to hang out.
This! People in the comments are so weird
Sharing is one thing, but taking something off the other’s plate without asking “to establish dominance” is toxic.
That’s why I always shout “first to cum doesn’t have to clean up the mess”
I win every time 😎
instead of casually sex you do competitive sex
CEO of sex announces elo system
lol, I don’t care who you are, if you reach for my plate you will get slapped in the face hard enough to kill you. I don;t care if you’re my mom, sister, lover, or child. And I will go to jail for this, and I have. Twice. Soon to be three times!
I’ve lost custody of Amantha and Jameson, and my dog Mike. But I stand on business. The food I order is for ME. >:(
Broke ass man thinks i can’t pay for our meal. What a loser.
It’s crazy that straight people are at war with their potential partners even before they’ve met them. So silly.
It has nothing to do with being straight though.
Culturally, it does. The gays have long since figured out emotional honesty.
Lolwut
Youre making this a queer issue when it isnt one. Its not making the queer community look better, its just making you look pathetic.
