Last pride march I went to, my girlfriend was deadset on kissing a girl. That was when we realized, neither of us has any idea how to pull a girl irl
Ya ain’t wrong
This is so depressing for some reason. Even women can’t get a date with women.
On the other hand, I at least don’t need to 😁
I think it’s funny when average women who normally have no issue finding guys suddenly have no idea how to do the hard work of getting with another woman.
It’s because they’re not used to doing any work whatsoever.
Seriously, the reason bumble failed was women simply will not send a message.
I get called sexist for this, but I think this is basically the reason catfish scams work so easily on older women. When a man comes out of nowhere acting interested in you its just normal. Been a bit rare lately, but it doesnt immediately invoke suspicion.
When i get a message on any platform from a woman, especially unprompted, I immediately ignore it. So often now to the point that they’re as invisible as popup ads.
4 comments to misogyny, y’all giving reddit a run for their money.
Look at it from the other side: it worked for people who wanted the kind of relationship where women aren’t the ones being chased and set a more even ground.
The problem is that it is a for profit business and the proportion of such relationship seekers is small. More women just like being chased… Bumbe is still around, they didn’t fail, but they had to let this model go, because they wanted more profit.Out of curiosity, what do you mean with failed? Isn’t it around and kicking?
Iirc they removed the “women have to message first” requirement some time last month.
It’s around, but I don’t think the number of users is anything to brag about.
It worked for me :) Found my awesome husband there. Agreed though, there are definitely women who expect to be pursued.
I found the number of women that would actually send a message was perhaps one in ten. A chunk would just let the match expire, the others would send either one of the Gif options, or “hey”.
Half of them had an identical account on Tinder anyway.
Yeah I get that. A lot of (male) matches on bumble didn’t engage with me either after I sent a message. I’m not a wordsmith by any means but I always tried to mention something I saw in their profile and ask a question. I figured if anything it showed a bit of effort as a minimum. Never tried tinder.
Interesting that men are pretty bad as well, I had a similar approach to you, try and mention something in their profile. It’s part of the reason I think Hinge is the best of the apps right now.
I haven’t been dating online since 2021 so I can’t really comment on the current scene . I hope it treats you well!
People are THAT bad?
I put more effort in a new friend.
And I am like, disabled.
Yeah, it’s pretty grim.
I treated internet dating as a numbers game. Hard to get too upset about someone initially just not responding. It would feel more personal to me when we would be talking for a bit and they would just ghost. Your comparison is fair, people put varying levels of effort into their relationships in general.
That worked for me on ICQ, 24 years ago.
Worked for me, too! Though, my (now) wife had paid for the subscription so she had bonus features.
I bet she still has bonus features!
One of the funniest things is watching women who talk down to guys having trouble dating women by calling them ugly, insufferable, or creepy, only for them to struggle just as much, if not more, to do the same.
To be fair, it’s much harder to find a woman who’s also attracted to women. Much smaller pool to choose from.
True, but even in dating apps where you can easily access individuals in this demographic, they still struggle. Women in general are just extremely more selective than men. Gay men, for example, don’t have this issue.
It’s having a hard time pulling vs. having a hard time finding someone who is relationship material, regardless of orientation.
Why are you gae
Why do you ask? Do you speak Gaelic?
What’s a gae lic?
What I did to your mom
Something something rainbow, definitely
Because u are gay?
I wish, nope. I am like too miserable to care about dating 😀
I just don’t feel the desperate or need to partner, because I have more immediate suffering.
This is such a sick burn. Juicy!
Lincel?
I believe here they are mostly found in the !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone community.
I have no idea what it’s about, but they do have great memes.
I got a new phone recently, and it started from fresh with all the cookies being unrelated to my accounts and such. The pushed content started out with random shit, but a few days in it started revolving around things that involves anti-social women.
I embrace it. I think it’s wonderful content, so it keeps feeding me strange stuff that women do when they’re not just showing boobs for likes on YouTube. It’s nerdy types doing nerdy stuff.
I find it interesting to see what young women actually do. Mostly because I’m not a young woman. I do have daughters though. I’m waiting for them to revolt on me, but they aren’t. They somehow know that we are in this together and that I will support them in every step.
But are they as toxic as their male counterpart?
It’s a very mixed bag from funny trolling to completely unacceptable and debilitating misandry.
In my experience, it depends on if they genuinely hate all men or not. When you see the opposite gender as an enemy you need to defeat, you stop seeing them as people. From there, it’s easy to apply that toxicity to other people of your gender that you see as traitors to your cause. You start to judge everyone by their adherence to gender roles, even if you see yourself as smarter than others who uphold the patriarchy. That is the nature of an incel regardless of if their gender.
That said, I anecdotally find that sapphics are rarely incels, even if they get no bitches. It’s easier to not be consumed by your resentment of men when you don’t even need date them (note, that this is distinctly different from political lesbians who are only sapphic for ideological reasons; those people are trash). Even if one casually thinks all men are trash, they aren’t forced into conflict with men unless those men approach them first. I suspect it’s the same with gay men who are lonely; even when they are misogynistic, it’s not as much of a problem.
They often are
Funny meme about an LGBT+ topic and wlw without resorting to misogyny.
Still uses “Bitches” in the title.
Just couldn’t help yourself, could you, OP?
It’s me, I’m bitches.
There’s an interesting conversation that could be had about reclaiming slurs and who can use slurs and when they can be used.
I’d argue men talking about lesbians might wanna refrain from using a slur against women though lol
Who said @absolute_slayer is a man?
Fair. Could be internalized misogyny that’s talking.
The meme is funnier without the sexism.
And I think it’s great as-is, and I’m a woman.
That doesn’t mean calling women “bitches” isn’t sexist.
You’re right, but it really depends on a few factors, such as who’s saying it, what type of person they are, if they’re addressing a particular person or a class of people, and so on.
Anyway, I’m out, there is shit to do in the land of grass and trees.
Is this a troll account?
Unfortunately velma is both very active and very serious.
Ah I see you participated in mocking a random woman’s appearance this morning here as well.
Stay classy.
The tic tac toe thing? I was just taking my turn!
Is it so shocking that women might find the slur “bitch” offensive?
I know women who relished it. And others who can laugh off stupidity! And then some who don’t like it. My mom never liked it, although she said son of a bitch a lot.
And still others have a shred of humor in their body
Wah
Awww you wanna have a little misogyny as a treat?
wwwwaaaaah
Aww wittle boy just wants to be allowed to call women “bitches” awwwww it’s just so fucking cute, isn’t it?
Just a little sexism as a little treat for a beautiful Sunday like this. Y’know, because you’ve been such a good little boy!
Baby’s first selfie! So cute!
Youre just sad. Youre making up this story in your head about who I am and why Im making fun of you, and youre sitting there like some kind of knight in shining armor that made a mountain out of a mole hill.
Geez - you’re out to give bitterness a new low, aren’t you? I mean… I get it if you’re a victim, but you’re spitting bullets at virtually everybody you see without regard — even you ought to be able to see it’s going a bit too far.
I’ve always wondered what kind of person is on the other side of these comments, I imagine it’s someone that everybody in their life finds them unpleasant
womp womp
