Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 56 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This particular sleaze is definitely male perpetuated and worth calling out. But shittiness knows no gender (or age or ethnicity for that matter.)

Of course he is. He's in IT!

[–] natecox@programming.dev 28 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

It’s fun being deeply ashamed of your gender because some of us are filth and scum.

These fuckers harm everyone with their actions. Wish we could do something actionable about it.

You’d be surprised how many of these guys didn’t vote for Trump. Incels and woman haters exist across the spectrum. What we need is for social media to actually ban this content. But it makes them money.

if it's any consolation, does make the bar for picking up woman incredibly low, makes it easier for the rest of us i think. just don't be a complete creep and your at top of the curve

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.

The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.

[–] sparkles@piefed.zip 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lots of women who I know and date say “the bar is in hell.” Fr just be a functional adult with good hygiene and emotional intelligence and you are in the top 1%.

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

and emotional intelligence

Thank you for telling me I'm unfit.

say “the bar is in hell.”

This reads like a joke or an exaggeration, but it's really there.

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 9 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Filming people in public is becoming way to socially acceptable. I hate it.

I bet you the Venn diagram of doing this crap and being incapable of comprehending why women picked the bear is a perfect circle.

[–] uninvitedguest@piefed.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What does "picked the bear" mean?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 53 points 3 weeks ago (63 children)

If you are a woman alone in the woods, would you rather come across an unknown man, or a bear? It's a thought experiment. As a human woman, which represents a greater immanent threat?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are there non human women?

[–] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Every other genus: "We don't want her either."

Correction: After having no success 'Manfluencers" stage interactions with paid women to make them look fuckable.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 22 points 3 weeks ago

or to "subtley harass women, stalk them on camera until they relent."

[–] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 42 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Does anything good come out of meta?

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Every single 'manfluencer' is a closeted loser who specifically wants to take your money and cause you to be alone and miserable like they are. Every time. They should be openly ridiculed and loathed, and I hope this trend just elicits legal action and ends quickly, and that minimal harm is done to the victims in the process.

When they ask themselves "But how can I be even creepier?"

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

EDIT: Return of the Glassholes

I would be interested in watching the crash reel though. Creeps.

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I would watch someone successfully negotiating buying a used car for a good price at a dealer.

There's a word I could have done without in my vocabulary.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What, you don't like being manfluenced? Something off-putting to you about manfluence? What's wrong with being a manfluencing manfluencer?

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

They’ve got a case of manfluenza.

This headline/title should be

In an act of sheer disrespect and a blatant invasion of privacy, douchebag "influencers" recorded women without consent and publicly shared recordings

[–] imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Probably easier if they use their hands instead

I remember ages ago some show on tv that had a prototype style of these glasses where the person also had to wear a huge backpack and it was like a gotcha style show but it turned out most people just wanted to try and help whoever was wearing the the stuff and I'm rambling.

The show skeeved me out but my parents were like "oh look how bulky it is, you'll know if someone is using it!" And I tried to articulate yeah, and we use to only have record players and now I have a cd player but they waved it off.

Stomping around annoyed I was right!

[–] agingelderly@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

*Get approached by some dude in glasses

*He hits on you

*Leave

I feel bad for people who need glasses

[–] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 11 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

This is just going to popularize thin rim glasses haha.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I was thinking, don’t these creepy glasses stand out?
