  1. Be attractive
  2. Don't be unattractive

Nope, and at this point I don't feel like bothering. My life sucks for many reasons, but not having a partner is a pretty minor one. Many people's lives suck worse than mine as well.

Misandry is not going to help anyone but misogynists

And what exactly was "misandrist" in this meme?

[โ€“] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Ah, I knew they'd find Lemmy sooner or later. I guess it can't be helped.

Easily the best one. But does that mean:

a. Self-actualization and understanding one's self is difficult for men due to toxic masculinity and social norms.

b. Into guys but with dubious grammar skills.

c. ... both?

The guy in the top left's name is i and he's hard for guys.

Gotta put maga chuds on there too. There's a literal movement (4B) to not f--- those people.

[โ€“] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Don't make it so obvious....

It's hard enough to find someone already. Like - ok fine I get it, yes, being a lesbian (or bi) feels like the only way anyway, cuz like yeah, how can you not like girls. I find that somewhat hard to imagine.

but that turns into a bad thing, because all of a sudden you have all these super pretty girls in the dating space and they are all prettier, smarter and more comfy cozy than you!!! I feel this is especially the case when transfem (but what do i know)

[โ€“] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes kinda. But I do feel that generally, people are more attracted to girls than to guys. And I don't like that.

[โ€“] mossy_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As I kid, I thought it was interesting that while there were male and female voices available for voice assistants (like Siri), people would always pick the female ones

[โ€“] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago

That is fair. i think people generally just prefer feminine voices. Other than in podcasts for some reason.

The top image gave me flashbacks to reddit, r/chodi, and the wave of Indians spamming r/Pakistan complaining about "love jihad"

spoilerLove jihad (or Romeo jihad)[5] is an Islamophobic[11] conspiracy theory[22] promoted by right-wing Hindutva activists.[25] The conspiracy theory purports that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by means such as seduction,[28] feigning love,[30] deception,[31] kidnapping,[34] and marriage,[37] as part of a broader demographic "war" by Muslims against India,[39] and an organised international conspiracy,[42] for domination through demographic growth and replacement.

It was funny because there actually were several studies and polls that suggested women in India preferred Muslim men because they were well groomed and more respectable than their Hindu counterparts.

Sounds like English vs Vikings all over again

So I guess you all have girlfriends, then?

[โ€“] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 48 points 21 hours ago (32 children)

That s not true , of course doing the basic minimum of a normal human IS required but its not enough to have a gf today. The loneliness epidemic is real and not all lonely guy are complete moron. Personally I think one major factor is the privatization of love.

[โ€“] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Wow this has a lot of up votes. Of course the loneliness epidemic is real but why blame something nebulous like the privatization of love when capitalism is right there. There's a profit motive in getting people to work longer hours for less pay and have less free time to build community

[โ€“] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 40 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget the commodification of all the 3rd places so now there's no real place for people to interact without having to spend money

[โ€“] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Very thankful my community has public libraries, churches, community bike shops, makerspaces, etc because I know they're declining in some places, churches especially (too bad they're religious and they can't just switch to community organizations) also civic clubs like Rotary and lions club.

Can't take those orgs for granted they decay without involvement
