She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.

An important distinction.

Look man, no one said the meme was perfect.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago

I did. I said it.

I fucking meant it too. YOU CHERISH THAT WOMAN GODDAMNIT.

now if you'll excuse me I'll be in my BASEMENT. VIBING. until my WIFE GETS HOME.

It do be like that

I'm glad you guys are happy, but I'd want the foundation for trust to be my dedication to my partner, rather than my lack of ambition to socialize irl. -Ideally, and obviously things are rarely ideal.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oh for sure. And we do. I believe her agreement with the meme stems from the fact that my hobbies and interests don't lend themselves to creating cheating opportunities. I mean I'm sure there are Lego Hoes out there, but they aren't looking for my face/lack of funds.

Lol I love being poly. I love watching people freak out when I tell them my love has a date. "OMG what if they leave you???"

I mean... I'm getting laid plenty myself and if that's what they need then I want it for them. That said, I love her so much, I'm pretty comfortable sharing and everyone wins.

You can hear the gears grind 😌

This is one of those "a fish trying to understand a horse" situations, but as long as there's consent all around and everyone's happy; GLHF.

Holy fucking cringe

I'm not a fan of judging/shaming others for their hobbies/interests, so it always makes me a bit sad when the defense mechanism is to try to flip the aggression on the other side, trying to shame the "normie" interests.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Nah, it's the aggressive tone and the GIANT anime picture "edgy" that cringes me a bit, + the "Karen" + the "your man cheats on you", as if us nerds don't cheat (which to be fair, might be a bit true, but there are a lot of exceptions)

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. I am focused on the aggression in particular: trying to flip things around to where the defense is a counterattack. Which could be OK in some instances, but the post itself equates having other interests (like, uh, socializing in person) as cheating.

Elsewhere in this thread OP is condescending towards "sportsball" and "clubbing," which reinforces my point that he's not talking about defending his own hobbies and interests, or even attacking judgy people who should mind their own business, but more interested in attacking others for having hobbies and interests inferior to his own.

In my eyes this is all cringe for those reasons.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh, I see, indeed, I didn't see it this way before you mentioned it. Nice analysis!

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Let he who isn't cringe cast the first stone

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 hours ago

There's a certain threshold at which it becomes too cringe. Balancing it is the key.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If you're not cringe about your spouse you're missing out.

why does someone try to shame your wife for something that you do, what kind of fucked up people does your wive interact with

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 1 points 5 hours ago

The gossipy kind.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Where can I get a girlfriend/wife like that?

[–] Emi@ani.social 8 points 13 hours ago

Asking the same question, I have no idea how to meet new people.
