I mean not to throw shade but it's one thing to say you would and another thing to really do it. I guess I am throwing shade.

The meme also incentivizes extreme, inauthentic choices to provoke reactions. Not saying this to defend incels, but "women will fuck anything" also isn't the right takeaway.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No but "women want more variation than the one body/personality you are trying to fake it as" very much is.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, that's a healthy outlook, but that's not what they said.

If the trend has taught me anything [it's] that girls will fuck literally anything

[–] timik_pipik@lemy.lol 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Probably a joke Edit: with some truth to it

[–] raef@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Okay, hear me out: the girls aren't taking the task remotely seriously.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Counter take : the girls are using the mask of ridiculousness to take the task very seriously.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Aspie girls mask, you say?

The simplest explanation is that all of us want to fuck Bowser and the Drake equation. And thank you for the razor, I will use it to shave my balls.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I guess? My explanation fits that maxim about as well as yours, so it doesn't really resolve anything.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Mine has one step. Yours has two: subterfuge and then we have to accept someone honestly evaluates the sexual viability of a mathematical theorem

If you can’t convince a girl to fuck you … it’s because you’re an insufferable human being.

Oh. Nice to know my relationship struggles are all my fault.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago
[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

obviously I don’t know your situation. if you had bad experiences with one person, it may very well be their fault, or someone else’s, or even no one’s (shit happens sometimes)

but if every relationship you have turns bad? ya might wanna look inwards a bit. not saying it’s your fault, I can’t know… but a bit of introspection is never a bad thing

[–] PanGodofPanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Unironically yes, they are. Whose else do you think it could even possibly be?

[–] Azzu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I mean... the definition of a relationship is that there's another person to have a relationship with. So probably that one.

I think the point you're missing is that the requirement here was stated as "as long as you're not an insufferable person, you will get sex", which is blatantly false. You can be perfectly pleasant and never "get sex".

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

My approach is to trust their lived experience. They are frustrated. If someone applies to 100 jobs, and only gets scam offers and ghosted by businesses, I don't tell them how they just need to smile more authentically.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It could be no one's fault. This is the most common culprit for most peoples' misfortune.

Of course, if they want their situation to change, it is only within this person's purvue to change their situation. But fault? Not necessarily theirs, at least.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

It's my fault. I placed a curse on them. Not even for any reason, I was just practicing

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Obviously the other person, duh

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

What an unempathetic take. It doesn't have to be anyone's 'fault', although I'd say it's largely society's fault if there's any blame to be had.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Capitalism. No i will not explain further.

A wonderful christmas message

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Ho ho ho indeed.

[–] tpyoman@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You say shoot your shot, but when you an 'eww' back, it kinda sends your RSD into overdrive.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

well this text was an imaginary conversation with an incel… one of their main thesis’s is only tall, symmetrical, rich, muscular men have sex, nobody else ever does.

there are many reasons why a person might have a hard time interacting with people normally other than being an insufferable asshole….
for example, RSD….

their post could’ve ended inspiring, like “see? you have a shot if even Bowser does!”.
but instead it went to the same old, “fuck you incels”….
i mean, they do suck but i’m not thinking about them that much….

Of course I know, but maybe explain it to the person above just in case they don't get it...obviously. I'd answer them myself, but I'm much too busy.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Cake is slang for ass, so a piece of cake becomes a "piece of ass."

It's also likely 70% just so you can eat cake afterwards.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

If you need an excuse to eat cake beyond "I am an adult and want to eat some cake," you're not mature enough.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So your hot take is that "tiktokers who use jokes and sex as vague excuses to eat cake" are not mature?

Im putting that take on my "hear me out" cake.

Yep...thats exactly my understanding prior to your thoughtful explanation, thank you for that. It was much easier having you explain it so um, I didn't have to.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thank you for explaining. My mind went the other way - I thought of the asexual saying, "I'd rather have cake than have sex." Which clearly wouldn't make sense, but it was the only cake/sex comparison I'd heard of.

[–] dmention7@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Man, I must be getting old because I'm having too much trouble wrapping my head around the first paragraph to even get hung up on the difference between who guys and gals want to fuck.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I met my now-husband partly because I said Alien(s) was sexy.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, I get it. Rippling with power, sleek and smooth, voracious, primal physicality, very intimate, some degree of "gooey."

Not my speed, but they have the essence of attractiveness, besides the inherent dreadful menace and pure strangeness of form.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] rainwall@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Uhh yeah...I was of course talking about the strong women, not the stupid, sexy xenomorphs.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Por que no los dos?

[–] hark@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

How the hell can I compete with the centaur from fallout?!

[–] porksnort@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Pity the rizzless…

They have no rizz and cannot find any, no matter how hard they look.

Silly incels,

The rizz was inside of you all along.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I assume that the attraction of the xenomorph is that you can get eaten out while you get eaten out.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

ok hear me out

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Can confirm. I'm an aspie, overweight with male patten baldness. I'm shy and awkward and have a well above average body count. It's more about being a good conversationalist, a good listener, and being kind. Most of mine developed over time as they got to know me. If I can get laid and incels can't it's not because of how hey look, it's because they're a fucking losers.

EDITed to make my intention clear.

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Okay I don't usually reply to comments like these, but I've had a really shitty day and this touched a nerve so here goes.

I'm a lot of the same things, (although I'm underweight instead and I don't use nazi terminology to describe my autism). I'm in my mid 20s and I've never had sex with anyone, although I deeply desire to, and I'm very lonely. I think I'm a decent person, at least I have plenty of friends who think so. I'm not very attractive, but not unattractive. I have debilitating anxiety. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of hooking up with someone I'm not close with, and I've avoided "opportunities" because of that. I've also had pretty bad luck in general with relationships. Sex is pretty low on the list of what I'd like out of a relationship, but I would still like to experience it with someone I have an emotional connection with. I form crushes / romantic attraction to someone very rarely, and it just always just doesn't work out for one reason or other. Also, I have the added difficulty of being nonbinary, so aside from being entirely confused about who I was for most of my life, now I have the choice to either pretend I'm someone I'm not, or to be myself and have an extremely small pool of people be interested in me.

Does all this make me a 'fucking loser'? Maybe, but either way it's a really shitty thing for you to say. I'm so fucking sick of being ridiculed and insulted online, even if I'm just getting caught in the crossfire.

[–] jaycifer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Alright, I don't really have a message to direct at you, but I have some words that I kinda want to say to you.

I'm some of those same things. Never been diagnosed with autism (and not really interested in getting a diagnosis) but have consistently been friends with neuro-divergent people. I never had sex until my mid 20s, but up to that point I didn't think it would happen for a long while (my first thought afterward was "darn, now I'll never be a wizard"). If you aren't familiar with the term demisexual, look it up because that's me too! The person you responded to does not give me demisexual vibes, quite the opposite in fact. I can say that I have never given any real consideration to a person's "body count" because it give me the same feeling as hearing someone talk about "adulting." It's something I just don't think a person talking about it can understand because they are talking about it.

This may sound weird, but I think the best thing you can do is embrace your virginity, really own it and own the fact that you know you want an emotional attachment/relationship before sex. You mentioned having severe anxiety, so I get that that would be very difficult, but I can tell you that it is very worthwhile. One of my favorite memories is of going to a small house party of about 6 people and at some point hearing every person/couple talk about sex they had had. Because I had embraced my form of asexuality I found that humorous and just continued to have fun. Later when we played "never have I ever" you can bet I was the only person to get everyone else to drink when I said I had never had sex. Later that evening one of the guys I had met asked me if I was really a virgin with an incredulous tone that told me I did not fit his idea of one, and it was cool to see the change in his perspective.

And when you do do stuff with someone, it will probably be awkward, but it will also probably be with someone that you can continue seeing. And if it's anything like me and my first (and so far also only) partner, who also happened to be nonbinary, it will probably grow into some of the best, most intimate sex a person can have. Just remember that not having sex isn't you, but it can be an aspect of you. As a less cool version of myself once said; "you can only be cool if you're not trying to be cool," which I said in an effort to sound cool.
