Anon's got problems, and somehow that's everyone else's fault. Classic 4chan

Anyway meanwhile in normal human land, the presence of pornography does not decrease the dating pool.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago

It has decreased my dating pool by exactly 1. My ex started doing porn and I decided I couldn't go back.

Best thing to ever happen to me. No drunk texts and no forgetting why we split up.

No hate on people who date others in porn. It's just not for me.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 4 months ago

I think my point really is that the number of people who are available to date hasn't really gone down because the industry exists. Now you may not want to date someone in the industry, and that's totally fine, but anon doesn't even have anyone yet and is complaining about a purely theoretical problem as if it's a real one.

No, they have bigger issues.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

I know. However, you said something that made my train of thought pull into a particular station. So you got a useless story because that's what I do.

And I agree with everything you said.

[-] exocrinous@startrek.website 5 points 4 months ago

One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

I see that as a win win

[-] BitchPeas@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

But the unstable relationships and alcohol abuse worked for ya. Got it. Good for her.

I'm not siding with the crazy person posting the green text, just explaining their point. They are saying that the simps made it so profitable to be a virtual girlfriend that all women have become one, and there are no girls left that will date him because they've learned they can profit off of sex. When you really read it, op is an incel and believes the only thing keeping women from prostitution is the guaranteed paycheck. Op believes that once they realize the money will come in, every girl in the world will become a professional sex worker.

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago

Completely ignoring the laws of supply and demand in the process.

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Exactly right; sex work has always existed (relative to the existence of currency/bartering tribute and some semblance of homo sapien societies) and will always exist in some form. There have always been those who are willing to be in relationships with sex workers and those that won’t. The landscape has changed, but the world’s oldest profession remains.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 99 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Anon imagines half the global population can be the 1%.

Need to expand your dating pool anon.

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 26 points 4 months ago

Who knows, maybe 99% of women have died by the year 2035.

Yeah, can we please not distribute the insane bullshit of incels on 4chan.

I mean, this isn’t even funny.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 55 points 4 months ago

It's funny in the sense of "are you reading what this moron wrote? They actually think this? Pathetic."

The whole thing is so fucking ridiculous that anyone who truly thinks this way should be mocked.

Most of the comments here are pointing out how stupid it is and talking about personal accountability and the actual reality of relationships.

It's not an endorsement — it's a window into the clown show.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.de 16 points 4 months ago

True!

But sometimes I just think it’s not worth it spreading the mental illness of others. Let it be confined to 4chan, where the post soon will be gone.

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 8 points 4 months ago

I also think it’s not great to equate incels with mental illness. I have CPTSD, depression and anxiety and none of those make me act like a fucking misogynistic twat. Inceldom isn’t mental illness, and equating it to or calling it mental illness does a whole lot of people a massive disservice.

I think it's funny, thanks for posting

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 78 points 4 months ago

Take valid social commentary about capitalism's commodification of intimate relationships and the impact that has on our ideas of dating

Turn it into ridiculous, hyperbolic, misogynistic, victim complex nonsense

Oh yeah, we're greentexting today.

[-] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago
[-] maniii@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yup. If they skip all the steps until the end, there would be no need to go through that wall of green text :'D

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 77 points 4 months ago

Misdirection. The problem is the lack of public commons culture and gathering points in the USA. More sane countries have places people gather in the evenings without exploitation or stigma about showing up alone. Our car centric nonsense and sprawl are a massive liability for present environmental and social needs.

Can we talk about why homeboy didn’t just pay for silver? Seems worth it IMO.

[-] spiderman@ani.social 8 points 4 months ago

that's the difference between him and the simps

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 54 points 4 months ago

hahah yeah, ~50% is the new 1%, that's certainly economically viable...

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 46 points 4 months ago

Is this one worth reading?

50% of the world's population "becomes the new 1%".

Nooope.

There's more to life than girls, so who's the real simp here? 🤔

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 4 months ago

If the girls hear you say this, you're going to get permabanned from the dating platform.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Time to become gay I guess!

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

Best thing that could happen to someone like OOP, really.

[-] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

To be fair, when you're touch-starved and attracted to women sometimes it really feels like they're the most important thing in life lol.

Does he think women don't have similar struggles getting men as well? Or that straight women simps exists?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 38 points 4 months ago
[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Well, yea, but I'm fishing for a comment that will bring up statistics or give some insightful commentary or deep personal experience.

[-] Jako301@feddit.de 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They struggle with finding a good/the right man to keep long term, but simply getting a date takes half an hour on tinder while they can choose between 50+ guys in their immediate neighbourhood.

And this isn't even purely my imagination, it's annecdotal from things my sister pulled off.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 23 points 4 months ago

"The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Getting a date might be easy.

Is getting a date with someone who wants to do more than have sex with them a time or two?

Blind dating for women can be easy, but it also can be mortal.

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

I love the use of Molly Ringwald for the picture. The person who in all their roles wouldn't be on onlyfans because each character was hyper concerned about being proper.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 8 points 4 months ago

In OPs future, beeing on OF is proper

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

This dude’s problems run a bit deeper than simps. Though, simps DO suck.
