Why dating is hard (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.

Delete all the text and this diagram looks like:

One male medieval era soldier fighting for an oppressive patriarchy, in a battle where his fellow soldiers surrendered after realizing they are the baddies, surrounded by an army of women-only skilled archers fighting for egalitarianism.

my dude if this were to be true we would experience total population collapse

I mean, good meme but no, wouldn't it need to be the inverse to cause this?

He was just asking for it, look at the way his knees were dressed

It's like electrons.

Every single one of those girls is clearly an arrowhead-repeller. (Men have it so easy.)

If you're an average guy tempted to believe this, allow me, as an average guy who gets plenty of women, to tell you how it works. You are the one with the arrows, but if you don't shoot your shot, out of fear of rejection, you're never going to get what you want. So get out there and start shooting your shot.

Straight up, the best living proof of this I've ever seen was a fifty-odd year old co-worker whose face looked like if you stuck Don Knotts' face in a microwave/centrifuge combination for about 45 seconds. Dude had teeth poking out forward at near right angles. He pulled so much fucking tail, it was a constant problem at work. Incels refuse to believe me when I tell them about it, but, just, shit, idk what you want me to say, this quasi modo ass dude had game, so what's your excuse?

An average guy who shoots his shot is practically already above average. Most don't shoot their shot, or very very timidly with maximum safety

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (11 children)

Yep, it's an easy win for the average guy. But most won't do it because they're afraid of rejection.

I remember hitting puberty and realizing most of the guys had crushes on the same three or four basic makeup pasted fake ass girls so….sure whatever you say

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

As a guy I can assure you this isn't true.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Found the femcel

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So, you were surprised when boys who were just hitting puberty were interested in the girls who were actually flirting with them??

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or girls who put some effort into their appearance? Fuck those whores trying to look attractive am I right?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Why so hurt? The point is that it works both ways, that's all. Perhaps you're into more makeup and she finds it fake. It's ok either way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Because "basic makeup pasted fake ass girls" are also people, they don't deserve any more hate or dislike than anyone else based on this alone. It can not be your type, but the original person talking about this obviously had a relatively intense dislike/resentment.

welcome to everyone joining us from /r/incel (is that still a thing, even?)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only choice is to be totally out of the dating game so completely that you have no idea what any of this even mean.

Ohhhhh hello very distant neighbor. We do live in the same settings except that I live with my cat.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hellooo. Hope we can trade some cabbages if the need arises. I've been thinking hard about getting a pet and would like to have a cat as the number one on the list.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh you shooooouuuld! Animal's company seem to push me further into hermithood though.

I went heavy handed on potatoes and radishes this year but no cabbage yet. Not too late though, I'll keep some for you if I manage to grow some

Is this the Lord Ruler? Thought he was supposed to look a little older, tho not much.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's the thing with the Lord Ruler, he looks however old he wants to look
