Let's be honest. If I was alive back then, I would have been married off in exchange for a plow, 3 pigs, and 12 sacks of potatoes, if I was lucky.

Hey, don't sell yourself short. You're worth at least twice that many sacks of potatoes.

Hmm 3goats take it or leave it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry, I don't know what to say. Literally, I don't have any say in the matter.

How so? They still need people to open the doors and do the catering.

Oooh they mean as an invited person? Pwffft na mate, everyone wants to be the princess but there's not as many openings as they think.

I mean… Paris is Burning (Wish You Were Here).

I don't think I would get along well with people who liked adolescent me.

Fun fact, my SO and I met at a dance (poor person gala). It still happens.

Imagine missing out on nightclubs and all the other places a normal person can enjoy a night out...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Such people only "love" you for your status, as an exquisite piece of their collection. You are merely a luxury for them.

I never go dancing in bals populaires whether for the forteen of July or for the fête de la musique but where do this person live not to have a place to go, dance and meet people?
I mean, if you want to go the capitalist way, nightclub are quite spread around the world...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, there are all kinds of dance events from the formal to the casual. It depends where you live, I guess what's on offer.

Vienna has a fantastic ball culture for example.

I've always heared that LATAM would do the siesta cause they go dancing at night. I even meet people that move there for a few years just to enjoy the dancing culture.

You didn't go to galas unless you owned successful businesses or people.

You mean, Mardi Gras balls? We still have those where I live. They’re expensive and some exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Fuck you, Sabbat rules!

Back in the day we poor people would have had all night ho downs and tore the barn down, or had naked drunk parties in the forest. We should get back to that

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Those still exist, you are just not invited to them 😛

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I’ve heard you gotta go to Ren fairs to meet all the freaky swingers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I could be entirely wrong here, but I remember hearing that if you ever go on the Star Trek cruise, it's advisable to bring recent STD tests.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Bunch of freaky, sex starved trekkies? No surprised

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Board game nights might work, but the board game folks like pain with their casual sex

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You don't HAVE to but it does make it much easier

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is correct, my company hosts a Gayla every year and I'm not invited to that either. It's for donors and essential folks only

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do they spell it like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Probably not

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah but we also still have tavern wenches like your mother.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Uncool dude... Mother deserve to be treated nicely on the fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You know their mother won’t see this right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If she's into "nice guys," I guess I could role play.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So your answer to misogyny is more misogyny... How elegant !

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That's not misogyny, it's objectification.
