You will never find a man to sweep you off your feet, because sweeping is a woman's job. Mrrowl

I'd like to note: neurodivergent people generally only become close with other neurodivergent people (NOT ALWAYS). neurodivergent people are a much smaller portion of society, and a lot of these people will be bullied or put down growing up and lose their self worth. EVEN IF they manage to regain their self worth completely, they generally have trouble communicating with people, and will generally have mild to negative social interactions. Now the people who have the most trouble interacting have to interact with 5x as many people since they likely would only become close with other neurodivergent people. I hope that's obvious how insanely unfair that is.

Stuff like this is pretty hurtful to those people, because if this is all it takes for most people, hey I must really be worthless then because I've already done all this and I tried a hobby and I tried asking people out and none of it works! To those people, sorry you have to deal with this, you deserve someone who will be happy to be with you. I promise there are people out there that will value you specifically for who you are, even if they're more rare. You can try joining things that you think will have people you'd enjoy hanging out with, whether that be playing games at a comic book shop or joining a dnd group, a choir, a band, or any niche interest you have (for me this is learning languages, and I met two of the coolest people I've ever met through that)

on a year streak rn :3

Nope, and at this point I don't feel like bothering. My life sucks for many reasons, but not having a partner is a pretty minor one. Many people's lives suck worse than mine as well.

Misandry is not going to help anyone but misogynists

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And what exactly was "misandrist" in this meme?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I guess it could be read as there are no regularly showering non-incel men, just women, which would not be fair.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 32 minutes ago

Eh, I guess it could but it'd be a bit of a reach. The 2nd meme has no labels, and I just read it as being something like the 4B movement – many women just don't want to date guys anymore

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Ah, I knew they'd find Lemmy sooner or later. I guess it can't be helped.

The top image gave me flashbacks to reddit, r/chodi, and the wave of Indians spamming r/Pakistan complaining about "love jihad"

spoilerLove jihad (or Romeo jihad)[5] is an Islamophobic[11] conspiracy theory[22] promoted by right-wing Hindutva activists.[25] The conspiracy theory purports that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by means such as seduction,[28] feigning love,[30] deception,[31] kidnapping,[34] and marriage,[37] as part of a broader demographic "war" by Muslims against India,[39] and an organised international conspiracy,[42] for domination through demographic growth and replacement.

It was funny because there actually were several studies and polls that suggested women in India preferred Muslim men because they were well groomed and more respectable than their Hindu counterparts.

Sounds like English vs Vikings all over again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

We didn't convert you though?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Don't make it so obvious....

It's hard enough to find someone already. Like - ok fine I get it, yes, being a lesbian (or bi) feels like the only way anyway, cuz like yeah, how can you not like girls. I find that somewhat hard to imagine.

but that turns into a bad thing, because all of a sudden you have all these super pretty girls in the dating space and they are all prettier, smarter and more comfy cozy than you!!! I feel this is especially the case when transfem (but what do i know)

That s not true , of course doing the basic minimum of a normal human IS required but its not enough to have a gf today. The loneliness epidemic is real and not all lonely guy are complete moron. Personally I think one major factor is the privatization of love.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wow this has a lot of up votes. Of course the loneliness epidemic is real but why blame something nebulous like the privatization of love when capitalism is right there. There's a profit motive in getting people to work longer hours for less pay and have less free time to build community

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't forget the commodification of all the 3rd places so now there's no real place for people to interact without having to spend money
