My best guess is that she wanted things to be slow emotionally and has baggage associated with Valentine's day.

All that but getting a handie.

They're likely describing the 45+ group which they mentioned being the exception.

but she cancelled because I asked her to be my Valentine on Valentine's Day.

You can't just say that and not provide the rest of the story. Do you have the transcript still? Because either you're lying or this is the wildest thing ever. Either way I think we'd want to see.

I take it you must be one of those women

This just icks me out. Do you believe men can't be out off by what you said? (Not that I agree or disagree with what you said.) It just feels nasty to assume the dissent is from women specifically.

Let me start by saying I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the post you're replying to.

8 out of 9 of us are either married or in a long term relationship.

How long? Because many of the points being made by the comments in this thread are talking about how things changed in the past few years. If you got together pre pandemic you wouldn't have been dating in the environment many are talking about. Even if you got together in like 2021 you may not have experienced it at it's worst (according to them).

Disclaimer: I am married and haven't ever experienced the "dating scene" because I'm with my high school sweetheart. But you need to understand a lot of what the posts in this thread are talking about they're claiming is very recent.

That said, this post (the image) is 100% incel propaganda, accidental if I'm being generous.

Okay, but if it's that big of a deal to you, wouldn't you be happy to know you're incompatible with that person right away over such a simple topic?

Big brain comment right here. Did you write that before or after seeing OP did that? Did you write it before or after seeing that I told someone I used the term goober because I was keeping it light hearted?

Is that all there was to it?

We need to stop defending this sort of behavior.

I wasn't.

implying threads about other issues are less serious.

I never did this.

You can believe both are bad and complain about both while acknowledging they're separate things.

No it isn't at all. Image to image "AI" is totally different from "AI" that denies insurance claims. Different techniques, different effects, different everything. (Not saying either are okay or not, just that they're different.)
